Have a few drinks, good stuff, when I saw him at Nostell I fell out of the moving Landrover at the end. The train is the best

Brilliant lyrics in a brilliant song. “We’ll find a speck of truth in each riddle”…. Todays music can’t even comprehend lyrics like that anymore let alone write them…..

[@kevinkilduff2064]

One of his most underrated tunes. Ian and JT are singularly unique and occupy a special niche of greatness in the history of rock music.

[@heimomoilanen2648]

Quite often I feel that Songs From The Wood is their best album, at their finest after ten years' work. Perfection is every song.

Miss the good old days growing up when there was something called 'music'

[@markfaris4735]

I would like anyone in the universe to name an average or sub-par Jethro Tull album. They broke all norms and produced great music for a long time. In doing so they demonstrated what a multi-talented front man and suburb band are capable of. Pure genius!!

Coudn"t agree more. Must have my Tullfix reguarly !!!!!!!!

If this one doesn't make your spirit sing and soar, then, you are simply not alive. JT is stellar!

[@morrisanderson3180]

I agree with Dan razzell, best band line up also songs from the wood best album.

[@RaymondPeckIII]

The verse vocal melody is probably their best of all. Such mystery in it. ❤❤❤ Imagine if that magic was carried over to the chorus.

[@HerrMao]

That same year, when I thought I had lost everything, this song showed me that there is confidence!

[@MarttiSuomivuori]

This is right there on the top with Jimi and the Beatles.

[@metube2824]

I have not heard this song for years.I too was a youngster when this came out.I also got into one of his shows for free,in the late 70s.They were on fire at that time. They sounded so great live.Probably the best Band in person that I have ever heard,and I have gone to many concerts.

Avemaria Purisima, que tema ! Años 70/77, recuerdos bellos de adolecente con mi hermano EGVA. QEPD. MEPU. Cinta negra, recordaba el poster mas no el tema, hoy con chazam lo ubique, sonaba y de inmediato me traslado a los 70, una milla nautica de la orilla del Lago Atitlan, Sta. Catarina P. Transportados en enorme cayuco con motor Evinrude de 35 hp; cigarro tamaño hoja, una cerveza cada uno, robadas de las cajas que solia mantener mi padre ji ji, este tema y que relax, a Dios J.

I wish Ian could still sing like this.

[@drewium6386]

This is my time favorite JT song. It carried me through my teenage years.

[@markh1085]

God this is a classic, incredible band

[@zanzivar5892]

Got me back, when as a teenager in the 70's, my father and I in El Salvador used to watch this very tune on T.V. In the early 80's my privilege got me to see them live in the United States, last show I saw them was in 2011. Love Ian and J.T., always my favorite.

[@starfishsystems]

All points to Ian Anderson, but the entire band is what made history. They were visionary, all of them. I've seen them twice, once in Vancouver in 1972 with Yes as the unknown opening band (ha) and later in Stockholm around 1985 in the Konserthuset a few days after I attended the Nobel ceremonies with king Karl Gustaf attending. It was an interesting juxtaposition. I do think they could have left the potted marigolds for Tull.

Summertime is Jethro Tull time! This most def was the best album. Gutted I was in hospital when they played in London - don't care about the ticket price - I would've gone if I could've moved, but they wouldn't roll the bed to the gig, no matter how much I tried to bribe them.

[@kingbee48185]

progressive rock from 1967 till the late 70s.....a decade of some of the best music in human history. Tull, ELP, Yes, Floyd, etc. Even the WHO still rocked. Everything from the 80s onwards simply sucks in comparison (with a few exceptions). I knew the end of the world was not far behind when Michael Jackson's "Thriller" upseated Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon as the world's top selling album. Tull was probably may favorite group in 77-79, love the Songs From The Woods release.

Indeed sir, I like a lot of new electronic music, some 80s synth (not listened for 7 years tho really), mostly dark techno/lo-fi - but nothing will ever compare to the music that we know and love from when we were alive. We were alive at the best time for music in the course of the whole of human history - this is in the top 5 for Summer's days.
