Nice to see your face light up with Jethro Tull. I was just about your age when I got so addicted to their muse. Always remember that knowledge is just potential in wait. True wisdom is what we must strive for. Enjoy the ride Buddy and the muse. Cheers!
Ian is reflecting on his own life as a child, moving to England and his experiences at school. Great reactions as usual, thank you for reacting to Jethro Tull, a favorite of mine. Liked your JT song also.
Ian was brought up as a catholic and its a reflection of that upbringing the good and bad
Onward to Benefit and Stand Up!
Oh yeah!!! Though if he is starting from the beginning then it is This Was first.
I was about your age when I first bought this LP. And in 50 years you will find yourself still listening to and enjoying this music.
I seriously can't wait for you to listen to Benefit. It's an underrated gem in their catalogue.
Stormwatch is another greatly underrated album of theirs, but that's their 12th album, so you have a long ways to go before you get there if you're starting from the beginning :)
I'd really like to hear someone react to With You There To Help Me. It got a lot of FM play in its day but now seems forgotten.
I'm pleased but not at all surprised that you got the message at the heart of the album, expressed most clearly in "Wind-Up". Since hearing this song and taking it to heart, I've never bought into any kind of organized religion, because I know in my heart that they've got the whole damn thing all wrong. Whatever song I'm composing may not be better, but it is true to me, and that's more important than everything else. This is sometimes not a socially comfortable place to be, in that I live in a predominantly church-going part of the country, but I see it as a way to keep myself and them honest. I had a co-worker who was amazed that, even though I was rather lonely, I was unwilling to go to church to meet and socialize with women. I tried to explain that I thought fraud was a particularly sketchy basis for a relationship, but she just didn't get it. Of course, she was a regular churchgoer, so her view was kinda skewed.
English schools in the 50's were a lot less enlightened than the Americans'. England was still slowly recovering from having its factories and cities bombed during World War II. There was still food rationing well into the 50's. The Class System (which was sort of an update to the Feudal System of the middle ages) rigidly confined everyone to the level of society into which they'd been born. If your Dad was a bricklayer, his Dad was also a bricklayer, you were a bricklayer, and your sons and grandsons would be bricklayers too. The Anglican church held enormous political and social power. With God working for them, they could do whatever they wanted. There was no separation between the church and the schools, just an extra layer of rules to follow in a society already predicated on following the rules. Corruption and lies were rampant, as happens with any organization that operates without any real constraints. This was the setting of Ian Anderson's childhood, and the source of his rejection of the lies of organized religion in favor of spiritual truth.

Sorry, you're not quite ready to move on from Aqualung.
The final song on the album, "Lick Your Fingers Clean" was dropped at the last minute; it can be found on the 20 Years Of Jethro Tull Box Set.
There's also an expansion / sequel to "Wond'ring Aloud" called "Wond'ring Again", which appears on the Living In The Past compilation album. That was more of a compilation to the English market; I think there were only three songs on the two-disc set that had ever been released in America, so to us it was almost all brand-new material. It came out a few months after Thick As A Brick.
Thanks for your insight! It’s quite amazing how much this album really means to all of us based on some very solid spiritual background and have to credit Daniel for his effort to discuss the lyrics. I’m so glad that I’ve taken a much deeper thought into what Ian has been talking about and consider it a very good education for my soul, as didn’t pay much attention back in 1980.
Jethro Tull’s music, even more than most other British bands, is very tied to English culture. Thick as a Brick, including the original newspaper that came with the LP, is a great satire of English village life.
1 In the beginning Man created God;
and in the image of Man
created him.
2 And Man gave unto God a multitude of
names,that he might be Lord of all
the earth when it was suited to Man.
3 And on the seven millionth
day Man rested and did lean
heavily on his God and saw that
it was good.
4 And Man formed Aqualung of
the dust of the ground, and a
host of others likened unto his kind.
5 And these lesser men were cast into the
void; And some were burned, and some were
put apart from their kind.
6 And Man became the God that he had
created and with his miracles did
rule over all the earth.
7 But as all these things
came to pass, the Spirit that did
cause man to create his God
lived on within all men: even
within Aqualung.
8 And man saw it not.
9 But for Christ's sake he'd
better start looking.
On CZcams you can find
" Wondering Aloud....Again"
which combines both songs with a bit if early version thrown in.
A sentimental album, sentiments that we agree on , not necessarily the exact truths of any beliefs but the sentiment ahh yes.
Think you would love Tull's "Life Is A Long Song". Huge fan favorite. Only found on the Living In The Past album. Starts off slow acoustically and builds instrument by instrument.
Thanks for these, it actually made me fall in love with this band. :)
So much to say. This is my favorite song off this album, lyrically and best riff. I was forced to go to Sunday School/Sermon and I HATED it. Finally this song words came to me, he's not the kind you have to wind-up on Sunday. It's better to look around and compose a better song. You talked a lot about school and how it hasn't changed, this isn't entirely true. When I was your age and actually much younger society decided to use children to social engineer; at the start of 5th grade instead of walking to school my parents said you'll be taking a bus instead. It was a horror show, they had to put armed guards in the schools. I was an honor graduate and all I did was show up. Nearly flunked out of college but managed to right myself. Anyway please enjoy your school everything you learn helps even if you don't ever use it. I never told my daughter to do anything, never made her do anything just made sure she was loved and had a dad who spent time with her. Today she's following exactly in my professional footsteps, it's interesting. And she chose to become a Catholic and wind up on Sunday, which is fine, as long as it's her choice which it was. Last thing, add an F# with the D on Locomotive Breath I think it sounds better that way. My 2 cents.
Been enjoying your stuff, keep that up. You’re a great you tuber, and i appreciate your appreciation for tull 👍
Glad to see some of our youth appreciates great music!!!!!
Public schools were created by the industrialists. They taught people how to obey the clock. Insightful as usual Daniel. I loved your version of Locomotive Breath, it’s not easy keeping that rhythm going while singing. Nicely played and sung. Thanks.
Great song ending a great Classic album! Someone like you at the age of 16 will enjoy this album again in another 50 years.
I enjoyed the album again last night:) But I will likely do so again when I'm 66 as well, heheh...
And what about “To cry you a song”.
I had not heard this song in years and now I feel like listening to it everyday.
My daughter went to a private Christian school through the 8th grade. She heard me playing this album, more particular this song. She told me this song had a lot of meaning to her. This became one of her favorite songs.😇
Jethro Tull is one of my favorites. “We used to know” is on that flies under the radar and is just epic. I really enjoy the solo and guitar tone. “Teacher” is amazing as well. Catchy riff, and again I love Barres tone. Finally bungle in the jungle is a must hear. Great catchy tune.
Thanks a million Daniel. I've enjoyed your comments on the song and your thoughts on schooling immensely. Wind Up is so dear to my heart that seeing you enjoy the song is a bonus. I am sure most or all Tull fans feel the same way as I do in that Ian Anderson's voice and phrasing has a major role in appreciating and loving them, not just the music or the flute or the other instruments...Take this song for instance: although the lyrics are the same, Ian sings them differently each time. I cannot speak for all the Tulll fans but I, for one, was simply FASCINATED with his voice from day one. Having said that, I am also a fan of the other members of the band, especially between Aqulung and Stormwatch albums period. So nice to see you play and sing Loco Breath. Cheers.
Well done on your Locomotive Breath Daniel!
Love your reaction to the guitar solo at the end of "Wind Up", yes, the track is brilliant, the whole album is awesome.
I'm a huge Tull fan and 65 years old, but was only 14 years old when I heard the single "Living in the Past", can you believe that, lol.
Time flies mate........
nice to see that young people love this music from my youth. Locomotiv Breth sung and played very nicely
Love that performance dude 😎🤘
Spot on..glad to see we have youth that get it.
Math has utility beyond it's immediate practical application to science, engineering, etc. Done properly, Math teaches and reinforces a mode of systematic, disciplined problem solving, the core ideas and principles of which have applicability in daily life. Properly learning how to think and mentally operate mathematically actually create neural connections and links that give someone alternate ways of looking at any situation. So, don't buy the BS that learning calculus has no value to your future, and focus on understanding both the concepts and methodologies.
Bravo.... submandave dive dive.. intelligence rules, and Christian values are crucial................
I stayed......knew it would be Locomotive Breath :-)
I was hoping that you would slowly go backwards with Tull and do "Stand Up" next. Some great songs on that album.
Aaah...Wind Up....I could always relate to that song. In the mid 1960's I was being processed like most young girls in school - having to take cooking, sewing, typing, shorthand, etc. as it was expected by my parents and society at the time that I would graduate, get a job as a secretary, get married, and cook and clean for my little family. I was a disappointment for all as I sucked at those subjects and excelled at art, music (cello), history and science. I ended up becoming a registered nurse and getting married at 46. To quote Joe Walsh - "Life's been good".
"slowly going backward" would be Benefit.
@@samuelmregister My bad.
Just wanted to say thank you for giving Jethro Tull a complete listen. Having a total love affair with this group since I first heard Reasons for Waiting (Stand Up) on the radio and then seeing them in concert for the Aqualung and Thick albums, to me there is no better band. Ian is a genius, no drugs (too many cigarettes which eventually probably killed his voice). You may get people to listen to this band again, since they've mostly been known for the same 3 or 4 songs that every reactor listens to.
Heheh, and this was just Aqualung (we did TaaB live, then TaaB full album). Next we're going for album one and working up from there, hopefully to get to as many albums as we can! Thanks for watching:)
I'm glad to see you listening to my favorite Band and music once again.
Keep on, an you will be on a journey through the years of Jethro Tull. And every song will be a discovery. Ian Anderson is a genius. So I can't say "Aqualung" is the best album. Every album ist fantastic in its own way. And every album is diffrent but naturally Jethro Tull.
Maybe my favorite is "heavy horses".
Keep on listening!
Daniel, you, I and many of the folks who comment could definitely hangout to discuss lyrics and listen to music. I like the way we all approach commenting, seemingly with respect for opinions whether similar to ours or not. We get exposed to ideas we may not have thought of and broaden our minds. I really appreciate this, much Mahalo people!
Daniel I hardly listen to just a song or three from Aqualung, I NORMALLY listen to it begining to end. Awesome reaction and mahalo for all that you share. 🤙😎
Excellent analysis of the song, and the album in general. Identifying that the anger is about the church rather than faith is a good read. Faith and the church are two completely unrelated things, one being a personal belief system and one being a business/charity hybrid. Religion is the bridge that connects them, but they are different things, and I spent a lot of time incorrectly directing criticisms of religion toward the faith side rather than the church side. You got this right quicker than I did. Wind-Up has long been my favorite on the album, even with the lyrical repetition, and I've enjoyed your reactions to this album. I like how you address the lyrics and work on them. Too many reaction channels basically just watch the video and then say they liked it, which, y'know, great, I generally like their taste, but that's not enough to keep me interested and coming back, because most of these songs I can listen to any time. It's seeing the songs interpreted and analyzed and sometimes bringing out aspects that I hadn't considered or had long since taken for granted that keeps my attention. (And not just lyrical analysis; the Lost In Vegas reaction to Rush's instrumental La Villa Strangiato is worth its weight in gold.) You've brought out things in these songs that I tuned out long ago, and I appreciate that. Keep up the good work.
Wind-Up sounded a bit different to me than I remembered, which I assumed was something with CZcams until I saw this was the Steven Wilson remix. I know you're drowning in recommendations, but I do recommend checking out the works of Steven Wilson. From Porcupine Tree's journey in the 1990s and 2000s from space rock (Voyage 34, The Sky Moves Sideways) to metal influence (Blackest Eyes, Arriving Somewhere But Not Here, and the gloriously ambiguous Trains), his solo career in the 2010s including the unofficial trio of videos (The Raven That Refused To Sing, Drive Home, Routine) that will break your heart, and even pure pop (Permanating), as well as side projects like No-Man and Blackfield, and still finding the time to do official remasters of albums like Aqualung and Close To The Edge... If you're looking for a new rabbit hole to fall down, Steven Wilson's the way to go.
Thanks for working on your artistry - if you never try to bust through - you'll always be where you are. Keep working - who knows what'll happen - but you'll be better for trying.
This is another of my favs. (I have 100s! lol) You did a very good job with this whole LP! I have to say you display much wisdom beyond your years!
AS WE WIND UPPPPPPP THE ALBUM!!! :) AWESOME DANIEL
Hey man, been enjoying your channel. Your locomotive breath cover was great. Keep it up!!
you're right about the structure of our educational system. It was also based on a Prussian model, designed to make good soldiers. And the modern reality is that a completely different set of skills are needed for success.
YOU ARE SO RIGHT.THE teachers do not like the fact that evrything is about tests instead of figuring out what a student likes and where they can achieve at.
Great job again Daniel! It wasn’t too hard back in the day to understand what was going on with this song and didn’t realize how the whole album was tied together in some ways. Though I listened to it many times, I was always on to other rock songs and just didn’t put too much together at 15 years old.
Great job performance!
Enjoyed your thoughtful commentary.
And that, my friend, is how you end a legendary album. Wonderful to "re-hear" it again, as it were. Think i've seen this reaction 3 or 4 times now.
Martin Barre certainly deserves to be considered a top guitarist, just as Barry Barlow I consider to be a top drummer.
Martin Barre was lead guitar in Jethro Tull since 1968, but he has since about 10 years, ago played on his own...check out the Martin Barre band on CZcams....I just saw him play in my town last week, and it was fantastic...he is an incredible musician
Thanks for your reactions, and for your explications about this letter and what do you think about that. What a great album, AQUALUNG... Was my favorite group when a I was ten, now I am 64 years old. I love your reactions, and I love very much to see your cover of Locomotin Breathe.....¡¡¡Temazo!!!--
Excellent, BIG thumbs up for your locomotive breath I LOVED IT! Maybe do Aqualung in the future? So true what you say about schools and teachers. Listen to THE most famous song on the subject of school and teachers, Pink Floyd's ' another brick in the wall'
Funny. In concert when Ian sings the line "if they groomed me for success" he turns and spits on the floor
Their "God" as a convenience like going to the store when you need it but forgotten in between.
Great job on the acoustic, takes guts, you have some.
Yes it is on the up and up he says not just the wind up version you hear at church, personal feeling.
I seriously can't wait to find out what you make of A Passion Play. All the religiousness of side two of aqualung. All the length of Thick as a Brick.
Home schooling...speaks volumes. Kudos to your parents, you demonstrate maturity and depth beyond that which is more common at your age. Your grasp of the more complex ideas in the music to which you've been reacting.
This is my favorite Jethro Tull song. The only negative thing I can think of is he tends to repeat himself too much. But the message is clear and sums up my experience with religions I have studied over the years.
Need to complete Allman Brothers live at the Filmore East.... will blow your mind.... amazing guitars, vocals, jamming
Did Daniel do the Allman Brothers? I didn’t find it here. Whipping Post from Filmore 71 is peak rock perfection. The video of this performance is also great quality.
I have not yet, I plan to.
Dicon Dissectional Reactions it might become one of your favorites
Dicon Dissectional Reactions I think you will really like it a lot
This song always chokes me up
Hi Daniel, thanks for bringing this up. The Aqualung-album has - at least among Tull fans - become so iconic with everyone pointing to "Aqualung", "Locomotive Breath" and "My God", that I almost forgot how great this closing track is!
It's a very sneerful, cynical album at times, but I think Anderson wanted to get a message across, not necessarily on religion/spirituality as such, but rather at the wrongs of organised religion/eduaction...
Cool stuff.
Tull would sort of 'resurrect' this song for their live-shows in the later 70s, you can find some stunning performances on you tube as well...
Yours is stunning as well :-)
I'm waiting to hear more Jethro Tull, you have only touched the very tip of the iceberg. You have his entire lifetime music. Ian Anderson is an old man now, and has lost his voice for the most part. But he has created some of the greatest music . Some of his new albums have a great music some of his in between albums have a great music in fact I should be saying all of them. Out of the over 20 albums that Jethro Tull has put out there's only been one or two songs maybe three that I didn't really care for. He has so many masterpieces. I'm waiting to hear your reaction to "Baker Street mues medley". From the menstrual in the gallery album. Or even songs like "Big Dipper", or "quiz kid", from, "too old to rock and roll too Young To die"album. Roots to branches', from the same album there are just so many trying to give you suggestions is almost impossible.
We are going through the albums:) After doing TaaB and Aqualung, we went back to the start with "This Was". Next will be Stand Up.
"How dare you tell me I'm my father's son" sounds like a commentary on "original sin" as much or more than following in one's father's trade.
Great insight, I never thought of that one:)
If you watch the animated feature, ANTS.
Therein you will find what we get "trained" to become.
Ian Anderson went to a private school (in Britain confusingly known as public school, i.e. not state funded). He was there in the 1950s, and religion (Church of England) was central to the curriculum. Pupils were expected to do what they were told, believe what they were fed, unquestioningly. This regimentation was designed for one thing: control of society through the threat of exclusion, isolation and, ultimately. damnation. That’s what organised religion is about, and in Britain we still have a state religion which automatically gets senior positions in Parliament (Bishops in the House of Lords). The C-of-E was one of the three major powers (Crown, Parliament and Church) and ran the country for centuries. It still has power, although lessened.
Anyone stepping out of that enforced way of thinking was a rebel. Ian Anderson rebelled, and reclaimed God for himself.
Wind-Up is also a triple play on words: it “winds up” (ends) the album, it features in the lyrics as a way of describing the artificial construct of a God just for Sunday, and it is intended to “wind up“ (spoof and annoy) those it satirises.
Check out Too I Old to rock and roll, too young to die Songs from the wood , & Heavy Horses
"I don't believe you, you've got the whole damn thing all wrong. He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays."
I played this album to death way back in the 70's and haven't listened to it since and I forgot how great it was.
With 70% of all Rap/Hip Hop being purchased by Caucasians, it's nice to see a young White guy who likes to Rock Out. With Ian spitting out those poignant lyrics and Martin Barre supplying that blistering lead guitar, "Wind-Up" is a fitting way to wind up the Aqualung album. Wait until you get to Minstrel In The Gallery. Ian and Martin will blow you away. Rock On!!!!
Has always been my favorite Tull song.
He is saying that, the people who just go to Church on Sunday . (Wind me up on Sunday). That's what he saying . Their acting like jerks and thinks by going to church on Sunday's their covered The rest of the week they act out, say and do whatever and their God is sound asleep. 24/7 people. Get with it. Jesus is AWESOME. THANK YOU LORD FOR ALWAYS BEING HERE. YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND THINGS.😊 DANIEL AWESOME THICK AS A BRICK. I HEARD YA.
JULIE AGAIN ❤
My favorite song along with Hymn 43.
Teach us what to think, not how to think. Can tell you were h schooled. Good vocab and are able to communicate effectively. Never stop learning
Don't be sad its over. You can listen to it over and over and hear more depth to it. I don't think you even mentioned the bass playing on this song!
Can you believe this band with this depth of creativity and so many albums sold.one super bands of the 70s. Are not worthy of the overrated shite hole called the rock and roll Hall.
I think his point about school is that it taught him to be disreputable. Too me Aqualung encapsulates a critique of 1970s UK and at the time I was 14 and it really resonated and perhaps still does. By the way home schooling denies kids the essential skills of socialisation unless they learn them some other way. I liked what I saw as the atheism of Aqualung.
Next full album I'd go for "Songs From The Wood"
If you're gonna do all the Tull albums, let me just suggest that when you get to the fantastic "Benefit" album, try to do the one with the original list of songs, since several tracks have been added to it since it was first released in the U.S.
I TOLD YOU, DANIEL. BOSTON NEXT MONTH. NEW MUSIC THEATRE, ( BY THE FENWAY ). DID YOU HEAR---- MY GOD, YOU WILL FREAK OUT, ITS AMAZING. JULIE
You should hear Buddy Ebson sing this on an episode of Barnaby Jones called the Gold Record
I dont know a lot of school system in your country, but in Scandinavian countries school has changed a lot since I was a pupil. This change shows also in the international tests, where scandinavian countries are always very high. We pretty much only have public free schools, but the schools are very good.
Awsome song, and great reaction!
Now, I dont think its too wrong to say Aqualung is concept album 😃. Even if Ian did not agree.
More Jethro Tull songs you might enjoy: Heavy Horses, Moths, Skating Away On the Thin Ice of a New Day, Budapest, Inside, Wond’ring Again, Something’s On the Move
HEYYYY WINDUP! SUNDOWN, GREAT SONG BY GORDON LIGHTFOOT :) YOU WOULDA GOT IT ANYWAY IN THE END, WHO CARES! :) BOTH SPELLED THE SAME WAY DANIEL.
Aqualung is one of the ever-present albums of my childhood, and this is my dad's favorite song of the lot. (The story goes that my sister could keep up with "Locomotive Breath" on her flute ON THE RADIO, but private lessons were sadly not in the budget at the time.) I didn't really pay attention to the lyrics until I was in high school, at which point I desperately needed to hear some 'spirituality doesn't have to have anything to do with doctrine.' Between this and a couple books making the same point, I figured out what I needed from that angle.
(The books, which I suspect you'd enjoy: Small Gods by Terry Pratchett, and Good Omens, which Pratchett co-wrote with Neil Gaiman. The former is about a fictitious religion getting up to some Spanish Inquisition-level nonsense; the latter is about Armageddon. Good Omens also got a FANTASTIC TV adaptation last year.)
nice shirt
Minstrel in the gallery
Thatoneguyagain said it all.
☮️💙🔥
COMMENT 1 - It's this song, in the context of this album (which, remember, immediately precedes Thick As A Brick), which instituted the convention that Jethro Tull concerts end anticlimatically with a quiet reprise of something-or-other. There's always a downside.
Hymn 43, Wind Up, and My God from the album Aqualung should be taken together to understand his experiences and views on organized religion. He is giving the "digitus infamis" (might as well use the Latin I learned long ago) to the Church of England in particular. But, "Wind Up" leaves the possibility of a persona acceptance of "god," on Ian Anderson's own terms (He's inside you and me"). Thanks for the reaction vid :)
👍✌️♥️
Since ya liked the theme of this album there’s a song you’ll enjoy “All you zombies “ by the Hooters and “Showdown at Big Sky”. by Robbie Robertson. Same righteous anger.
Sorry, late to the party - love Jethro Tull and your reactions. I wonder has anyone mentioned the alternative meanings of the phrase 'wind-up'? Perhaps not in USA, but in UK, to 'wind someone up' is to tease or make fun of someone. Though the title of the track is clearly referring the concept of God (not) being just for Sunday, as used in the lyrics, I think Ian deliberately chose this phrase because it can also be interpreted as him teasing and having a little fun at the expense of religious authorities. He's got an excellent sense of humour, and he often responded to critics and opponents with witty lyrics, so I see the title of this song to be at least a little in that direction too.
Also they 'wind-up' (ie finish) the album with this track. So the song title has at least three meanings. Ian is a brilliant word-smith, as well as a brilliant musician.
From online dictionary www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/wind-up_2?q=wind+up
(British English, informal) to deliberately say or do something in order to annoy somebody
to bring something such as a speech or meeting to an end
I used to think he meant "wind up" as not having to wind up at church on Sunday, when in fact it was an allusion to a sort of wind up toy. In other words, don't be a dirty bugger all week long just because once a week you visit a church.
Btw, I'm not at all anti-religion and I'm certainly not anti-God, but I've never felt that I had to go to church in order to have a relationship with my creator. At the same time, we're all different and I understand why people DO go.
Hi 9, Being a tull historian lol Ian named the first 2 albums for a reason. Both albums came out at same time. "THIS WAS" was aptly named as one guitarist was replaced after this album. Mostly blues but 2 songs stand out for me. Song for Jeffrey and Beggars Farm. Second album aptly named "Stand Up" was the new and improved JT. My favorite from this is definitely "we used to know"(the eagles who were opening for JT wrote "Hotel California " based on this song). There are like 6 more high quality songs. They are:A new day yesterday , fat man, Bouree(Bach tune), Look into the sun, back to the family, reasons for waiting, driving song(added to cd). Opinion note: song Living in the Past was JT biggest single and it is just not like the JT we know lol. Cheers, Chicago Ray
Looking forward to seeing your reaction to The Broadsword And The Beast. Underrated album and a more mature Ian Anderson.
You were thinking industrial revolution.
Our pay grade is not based on tests
It's more about pointing out the hypocrisy of organized religion, not dissing god. To many people go to church on Sunday and are considered religious, but the rest of the time they don't even give god a thought. Thus the saying of winding god up on Sunday.
If you can ever get a look at the back side of the album cover, it has a bit of writing on it. I don't remember it all, but it begins with something like, "In the beginning man created God, and in the image of man created he, him."
Ian's big gripe, (and notice he always refers to it as the "bloody" Church of England"), is that it is not promoting it's adherents to walk in the path of Jesus, but to adhere to the church's strictures. The Archbishops and Cardinals or whoever, are so busy defining God and making sure He stays within their parameters that they don't bother taking into account that they are, in essence, imprisoning God to suit their needs and aspirations. God is vastly more than their insipid little power grabs.
Sadly, many in positions of religious power are more interested in using God to leverage their own twisted aspirations than spreading the word and bringing spiritual enlightenment. They use religion to control rather than to celebrate their faith.
Not even. I have no idea what they are doing in school today. Our public education system was once the envy of the world. What you are saying about test-oriented teaching today, teacher pay and job security depending on passing grades is true, it wasn't like that in my day. Yes, we had to take algebra, no, we didn't have to pass it. There is value in learning to discipline yourself to learn something that may not interest you or be useful in your future, it's a skill that will serve you well in your career.
You should give the Neal Morse Band a listen, not necessarily to react or review but just to enjoy. They're a modern prog-rock band with classic influences, top notch musicians and Neal is born again Christian, so most of his albums are about a lost soul going on a spiritual journey to find God. czcams.com/video/R2tAd0rWpjI/video.html
I’d skip the debut and start with Stand Up personally. The debut is ok but nothing great. Most Tull fans would agree
I think most Tull fans would agree that the first four albums are the ones most worth listening to in the Tull catalog. After "Aqualung," the band became derivative of itself.
Tull fans agree that any Tull album is well worth listening to. Not all will suit you personally, at least not now, but at some point in your life they might. You will change, they won’t.
BroadSword 66 yeah I agree. I personally love the folk trilogy as much if not more than the first four. I also rate TaaB ahead of them as well. Not a huge fan of the debut album if I’m honest
Everyone seems to skip "Stand Up ". It's not a concept album like "Aqualung ", but a lot of great tunes anyway.
Living in the Past is a pretty good record though.
I find it interesting how you've stated in many previous videos, "I'm a Christian"
Now your statement is "I'm a spiritual person; I believe in God".
Did Ian do this to you? 😄
Just kidding. Great review. Peace ❤
Not at all, my parents found out some stuff about the church 4-5 years ago and since then (plus my own personal research) our beliefs are not as clear cut as a general Christian's might be, but when I first let that info slip I tried to say "I believe in Jesus" (by a slightly different name) in a way most people could understand, as opposed to going on a long dissertation of the intricacies of my beliefs:)
@@DiconDissectionalReactions Bible says he's within us. Contemplate that deeply. Thats why you don't need A Religion. Go to the mountain as jesus did. through meditation. Keeps you out of the desert (confusion). Think how many religous scandals could have been avoided. Just makes sense.
@@DiconDissectionalReactions Everyones looking for God outside, when he's inside everyone. Bible says we're gods, think of the responsibility that entails, if we were taught that. Thats why they push evolution, makes us feel insignificant, like dirt. A cosmic accident. Not
In a previous video you seemed to lament the lack of quality Christian music and you are right. Most of it is what I term "formulaic Christian radio schlock". However out of the late 60's and early 70's "Jesus Movement" came a lot of incredible music by Christian artists. Here's a couple of examples. The first is by someone many consider among the greatest guitar players ever. The second is by a songwriter who was allegedly once told by Paul McCartney that he would be among the most popular musicians if he just stopped singing about Jesus. I don't know how true that is though.
Anyway, here's a couple of links. You don't have to do reactions because you probably won't get many views. But definitely worth listening to on your own time.

Your commentary on the education system made me think of Chalkdust Torture, by Phish.
This live video would be a good intro to this band. czcams.com/video/5NqSoIJNuHA/video.html
@Jack Cerro one of the many great songs by the wonderful, talented, entertaining and at times humorous band Phish. Love them and have been fortunate to have attended many concerts both summer, fall and winter tours. 🎶
Our Schools were actually based on our Prison system especially in inner Cities. That’s why they have 10 foot tall fences with Barbed wire in places like NYCity.
We are taught nonsense.
Nothing we need to truly succeed. Then again I graduated HS in 1974
Nowadays?I’ve zero clue
This Song to me is accurate. God is forever if you believe. God is not just here on Sundays.
At 65 I’ve never balanced a check book. I do it in my head…
Oh nobody uses Checks anymore
Sorry gotta have my rant here! This has always been one of my favourite Tull songs which I've always been able to equate with. The line about "god tucked underneath my arm" I believe refers to an old tradition in many British schools to give pupils a bible on their last day at school, most kids used it collect autographs from teachers and fellow pupils in the absence of a year-book. However, my personal view of (English) schools is that I totally disagree that they have to teach religion from year 1 and all pupils must take it, it is force-fed to young developing minds who don't have the life skills to form an opinion at a time when they are led to believe what adults tell them, especially teachers, I find this morally wrong, it's brainwashing of the worst type and it's how the church ensnares every new generation. It is a subject that should be withdrawn until kids are around 11 and even then taken only if the child wants it. It's time we got away from the middle-ages way of thinking and more into if there is a god it certainly doesn't need winding up every Sunday.
Wind 🌬 up is what happened to Marilyn Monroe on that grate.
Ps, re education....ask who makes up the tests?...probably Academics, many of which live in a world far removed from day to day life. Checkout the movie Goodbye Mr Chips (Peter O’Toole version)
I was your age when I heard this in the Memphis coliseum live, been to many concerts but none as thought-provoking or as good as watching this crazed Ian Anderson leaping leprechaun medieval persona “giving the business” to the church while holding God in reverence. Can’t wait for someone to mash it up as a soundtrack to a classic Biblical movie.
