To see you in sleep.
Could it stop the sun rise
Hearing you weep?
You're not seen, you're not heard
But I stand by my word.
Came a thousand miles
Just to catch you while you're smiling.
What a day for laughter
And walking at night.
Me following after, your hand holding tight.
And the memory stays clear with the song that you hear.
If I can but make
The words awake the feeling.
What a reason for waiting
And dreaming of dreams.
So here's hoping you've faith in impossible schemes,
That are born in the sigh of the wind blowing by
While the dimming light brings the end to a night of loving.
they always say the same
Tull put out several songs that are just beautiful. This is definitely one. "Wondering Aloud" is another. I should explore some of their later music. My Tull exposure is limited to Aqualung, Benefit, Thick as a Brick, and a bit of Songs From the Wood...
The thing of it is, they could also play really hard RnR. They had the chops to play everything; unlike bands of today, or last 30 years.
I thought for a long time he's imitating a battle flutist of the scottish highlands, showing his braveness and fearless facing the enemy. But Wikipedia tells another story. Truth can kill phantasy of young fans.

It was early morning. I was awake, but she wasn't. I was quietly examining her face from a few feet away and, with this track playing quietly in my head, I suddenly realised that I was deeply in love.
Soppy, eh?

I coined the phrase Synchro-Music-Nicity to identify those times when the music playing aligns with the live scene at hand. It's one of examples of Magic in our lives that needs no explaining, just a name to call it by.
How these guys are not in the hall of fame is a travesty...
I read an Anderson interview where he said he didn't think they belonged in the HOF because it was intended for American music and Jethro Tull was not the Americana. That being said, I don't think he'd turn them down if they invited him in.

Where is she now?
start to finish
Bring it-
How these guys are not in the hall of fame is a travesty...
Because the place has always been a joke in terms of meritorious judgment as is the whole idea of a RR hall of fame to begin with......but as a museum it is a good thing.
How is JT not in the rock n roll hall of fame? Must be politics.
Nah, it just clearly suggests the HoF is not canon...
What have so many (including R&R Hall of Fame last I knew) missed that I've heard and experienced since the 60's? Originality, beauty & kick-ass music. What better combos than that?
this is a really good album
I Agree!!
How these guys are not in the hall of fame is a travesty...
Indeed. This says more about the RnR Hall of Fame itself than it does about Jethro Tull. The organization itself is a travesty. May God grant them irrelevance.

AMEN!! ✌✌✌

If this is soppy, I'd like mine extra soppy :) Thanks for your story.
It's weird how our subconscious sometimes sends us messages by popping up a song's lyrics into our head :)
Feel you. Donovan is in the rock and roll hall of fame and Jethro Tull is not. Are you kidding me?

Standing up here in Cleveburg.
One of the nicest rock songs ever written.
Saw Ian and company last year at Artpark. Absolutely LOVED being there with him.
Even though his voice has "suffered the ravages of time" (haven't we all).......his playing was superb!!
Definitely a LIVING LEGEND.
Along with his diminishing voice, I imagine he can't strike his yoga poses or jump around like he used to, but it's great to hear that he still plays well.
Man, ain't that true. I didn't start high school until 1974, and by that time it had only gotten better. As I was pointing out to my college daughter (a DJ), the mid-70's to early 80's had hard rock, arena rock, country and southern rock, rockabilly, prog rock, soft rock, new wave, reggae and punk. It also had disco, which, while supremely irritating at times, certainly made you want to move (either on the dance floor or . . . away). And in the background the whole time (due to minimal mainstream radio play) was R&B, blues and funk.
Not remembering is surely indicative of its awesomeness...Long Live RP and faded memories!!
its flautist - sorry to be pedantic!
Having flautas for dinner tonight in fact
One of THE most magical collection of words in my world:
"So here's hoping you've faith in impossible schemes that are born in the sigh of the wind blowing by"
This song actually makes me cry at time.. lol..

Thanks again, RP. This wouldn't be heard anywhere else, I am sure.
I have Ian's autograph scribbled on a crumpled concert ticket somewhere.

...It always comes down to voting if we want to be heard.
Darn, was there a few weeks ago and was wracking my brain for worthy candidates! I assume you are Firesign fan.
JT was nominate for 2018 induction into the R&R Hall of Fame, but didn't receive as many votes as Stevie Nicks, et al. Go to R&R Hall of Fame website and vote!
...It always comes down to voting if we want to be heard.
One of, if not THE, best song ever!!!
Who knew?
...any Tull fan worth his salt.
Who knew?

My first Tull moments, 1971.
Takes me there, still. When music was music.
Interesting, almost exactly the same here. One of my very first real rock concerts was Jethro Tull, June 1971. I've been a huge Ian Anderson / Tull fan ever since.
This tune could have been written yesterday, still so fresh.
When music was music, indeed.

I agree with your comment. Longtime Tull fan. Never knew that Ian composed this at that young age.
He was/is a unique musical talent.
Another fine song ignored by corporate FM radio.
I can't sing, or play any of those instruments, but I'm the greatest musical artist EVER!

Absolutely. Been a huge fan since the very first, one of my favs.
haven't seen him since 1974…
Well said, TerryS!
I always liked this song
Yeah, but American Idol is getting cancelled after next season. Then we'll get all nostalgic about that when TV offers up a show about people drooling into paper cups.
The Decline and Fall of Western Civilization sure is taking its own sweet-ass time...
Love this song.
I'm extremely proud to say I have no idea what 'drooling into paper cups' references.
And now we have American Idol :-(

And is lost now.
And was everywhere.
