If you
think Rock and Roll in the late 60’s and 70’s was all about pomp, flair and
self-indulgence, take a look at our first pill of the day. This scandalously
simple –yet intricate– piece of work by Ian Anderson’s Jethro Tull (known for
the mastery at the moment of executing their tunes) is ready to prove you
wrong. This beautifully crafted
waltz-timed song just under two minutes, describing the everyday life of a
loving couple, driven by Anderson’s acoustic strumming for the first half, and
jumping into an orchestrated arrangement at the climax to give you that last
push into the mandatory “why can’t I have that?” sobbing is a fine example of
the way an outside-of-the-box kind of character would write a love song.
Placed between two very upbeat songs on the first side of the record, it’s a breath of fresh air and a delightful variation of the general tongue-in-cheek sarcastic humor generally present in its precedent cuts. It is also great for playing in the campfire, maybe even getting to steal a few tears from the most worn out pairing of the evening.Give it a few spins to spark that love, faded by the horrors of everyday life. This right here might be the definitive sample of a feel-good song.
