Jethro Tull - Aqualung (Official Music Video)

[@MindStateMediaInc]

Jethro Tull was one my dad's favorite bands. When I was a kid, he would CRANK their songs to 11. It was the most passionate I ever saw him be. May he rest knowing that he bore a son who loves these guys.

[@lisadc4681]

I love your comment! I've loved this band since I was 12 in 1970 when my older sister bought Aqualung. Lifelong superfan ever since and still listen to Tull on a daily basis on KZbin, walking or whenever. Aqualung & Thick as🚫a Brick might still be my favorite albums, but so many it's hard to say..Your dad had great taste in music! Nice way to honor him by listening to his favorite band.😌

[@mrsullyrox]

I was a high school football manager. I was 12 in 1972. In the locker room we had a single 8 track player with colored lights that blinked on and off. This album was on the machine every day all the time. I fell in love with this band and followed them throughout the ages. Im glad you have this memory of your dad, memories can special like that.

[@bonniebailey3795]

Thank you Mr. Anderson for your kindness towards less fortunate folks like myself. I've been homeless and I'm a recovering alcoholic. I am Aqualung. God bless Ian Anderson.

They are so unique & talented. Each & every member. Phenomenal rock band. Right up there with Rush, Zeppelin, The Who, Black Sabbath, The Doors, & Pink Floyd.

[@mattengle429]

One of the best guitar solos ever recorded in my opinion.

[@robertmayer7232]

After many years listening to it I came to the same conclusion. It is a perfect solo. Each and every note has purpose, weight and drives the passion in the delivery. The phrasing, the tone, the use and control of feedback, the dynamics and climax. It is a story unto itself. A masterpiece. It needs to be played loud on a top end stereo system or with high end headphones for the full effect.

[@curtislowe4577]

Hands down. Give the Lynyrd Skynyrd tune Am I Losin' a listen if you are unfamiliar with it. The solo is similar in being melodic rather than show-offy or incendiary like so many other solos.

[@sjdanthem]

Jimmy Page had just walked into the control room at the beginning of the solo and was watching. Barre initially wanted to quit the take and go talk to him, but he pushed through instead. Seems to have worked out well.

Me too... In 1971 when this album first came out I was camping out on my sister's couch. She heard the line "Sitting on a park bench eyeing little girls with bad intent..." and just went ballistic on me. Then she smelled pot smoke on me and redoubled her efforts to demean me for being a disgusting hippie and all that stupidity. So when she took a breath, I screamed right back at her saying something like _"You're on my case about me choosing of my own free will to smoke pot, yet you involuntarily shove Darvon down your 10 year old daughter's throat because she's hyperactive? She's just a kid and you're a hypocrite!"_ Shut her up just like that... But I had enough or her right wing nonsense and found somewhere else to camp out. For the next two weeks my cousin and I drove up in front of her house and blasted that song as loud as his cheepo car stereo could get, just to rub it in. :)

[@Peralygirly19]

I'm 67 years old now. This brings back so many awesome memories from my childhood. I bought the album "Stand Up" when it first came out in July '69. I was mesmerized. A week later I went to the store and purchased "This Was". I was 12 years old. Tull was my favorite band. "Benefit", "Aqualung" and "Thick as a Brick" were all incredible albums. In April 1972, my best friend and I rode our bikes to the Forum in Inglewood, CA to buy tickets for the "Thick as a Brick" concert. On 23 June, 1972, we again rode our bikes to The Forum to watch the concert. It was the greatest day of my life to that point. It was the concert of a lifetime. Great music, unbelievable musicianship...even a lot of humor! Ian Anderson is a genius. And I felt like the luckiest guy in the world!

I always thought this song, with its empathy and social justice theme, was an outlier on the album and for Jethro Tull in general. Not that I think Ian is a hard-hearted person or anything, but most of the Tull songs tend to be about thinking for yourself, seizing the day, and so forth... more of a libertarian theme. I always figured he included this one on the album just to butter up his woman, who had a hand in writing it.

Back in the seventies when I was young I would jam out to Jethro Tull to this song one of my favorite songs rock and roll is not dead it lives on to another generation and these guys from the past make it possible for the Next Generation to move on listening to music since the fifties to the present I love listening to new music there's a lot of good bands out there I don't live in the past I just visit it once in awhile

Hello Kay, How are you doing?

I am very impressed with this video. It proves that this song is a timeless classic and its message is still relevant as it was 50 years ago. My hats off to Ian Anderson, Sam Chegini and Hassan Nozadian.

[@bobcarn]

It's sad that these older songs that bring to light the vices and failings of society are even more poignant and relevant now than when they first came out. "Aqualung", "A Farewell to Kings".... it's like they were written today.

[@jasonjohnson5773]

Robert Carnevali what exactly is the meaning behind the song?🤔

[@MrSpanks]

'A Farewell To Kings' - even more poignant as of the 9th April! Unless you are psychic and that's what you meant!!

[@bobcarn]

@@jasonjohnson5773 It was a statement on the state of social issues back then. People shrinking their worldview ("turned our gaze from the castles in the distance, eyes cast down on the paths of least resistance") , distorting facts ("slandering the sacred halls of truth"), hypocritical leaders, people and leaders driven by animosity, disdain for experience ("scoffing at the wise"), leaders acting out of anger or negativity ("ancient nobles showering their bitterness on youth"). It was just something that lyrically seemed interesting and topical back then, but 40 years later still seems very topical.

Sitting on a park bench Eyeing little girls with bad intent Snot's running down his nose Greasy fingers, smearing shabby clothes Hey, Aqualung Drying in the cold sun Watching as the frilly panties run Hey, Aqualung Feeling like a dead duck Spitting out pieces of his broken luck Oh, Aqualung Sun streaking cold An old man wandering lonely Taking time the only way he knows Leg hurting bad As he bends to pick a dog-end He goes down to the bog and warms his feet Feeling alone The army's up the road Salvation a la mode and a cup of tea Aqualung, my friend Don't you start away uneasy You poor old sod You see, it's only me Do you still remember December's foggy freeze When the ice that clings on to your beard Was screaming agony? And you snatch your rattling last breaths With deep-sea diver sounds And the flowers bloom like madness in the spring Sun streaking cold An old man wandering lonely Taking time the only way he knows Leg hurting bad As he bends to pick a dog-end He goes down to the bog and warms his feet Feeling alone The army's up the road Salvation a la mode and a cup of tea Aqualung, my friend Don't you start away uneasy You poor old sod You see, it's only me Me, oh-oh-oh Aqualung, my friend Don't you start away uneasy You poor old sod You see, it's only me, yeah Sitting on a park bench Eying little girls with bad intent Snot's running down his nose Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes Hey, Aqualung Drying in the cold sun Watching as the frilly panties run Hey, Aqualung Feeling like a dead duck Spitting out pieces of his broken luck Hey, Aqualung Woah, Aqualung

I kinda wish I had a Dollar 💵 for every time I listened to this song in 1971 on my LP. It only took me 52 years to watch this exquisite video to go with it for my imagination and I still says that’s CROSS-EYED MARY at 5:05 sitting on the park bench whose ATTENTION is drawn by Aqualung

[@A_real_Ha_So]

Yeah. It's her imo. "Eyeing little girls with bad intent" means he saw Mary who had bad intent. Real subtle change of meaning.

I hated the visual. It was one of our favorites back then. The cartoons here had nothing to do with the song. I smell social programmers.

When I saw this video, it was like hearing the song again for the first time in1971 when I was 17. Although I might have heard it performed live by Jethro Tull in 1973, I haven’t been so affected by the song ever since. The animators did an incredible job of recreating the despair and hopelessness on the faces of the refugees.
