We heard this just last year in the Broadsword bonus collection. And boy does it sound like it belongs there. We've heard plenty of touring/on the road songs, but this is new angle. Now we're talking about the crew who make it all possible. And their nights.

Silver River Turning

Tue, 07 May 2024 10:00:00 GMT

A song about growing up, times a-changin', and workin' for the man. Memory is a funny thing. Nostalgia plays tricks. But in the end, we all gotta pay our bills.

Gold-Tipped Boots, Black Jacket and Tie

Tue, 26 Mar 2024 10:00:00 GMT

What can be said about this song? …seriously though, what can be said? There’s not a whole lot of substance here. Is it just a song about a very specific type of fashion? Not the best fashion, mind you, but very specific all the same. Then Omen comes in with the save, as usual.

Doctor to my Disease

Tue, 27 Feb 2024 11:00:00 GMT

Ian’s all about the romance this album. Not romance in the sense of candle-lit dinners and bouquets, mind you. But weird analogies and allusions to love and how much he needs his significant other. Kinda sweet, though, in its own way?

Rocks on the Road

Tue, 30 Jan 2024 11:00:00 GMT

You’re in a noisy city you haven’t visited before. You can’t sleep. You hit the pub. You drink the hours away until you can barely keep your eyes open. You wake up and pay for it in the morning. Then you do the same thing over the following night in a different city. Life (and rocks) on the road.

Roll Yer Own

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 11:00:00 GMT

Such a blue collar feel to this album. Ian is commiserating with the everyman. He is letting us know that he feels our pain, he knows what life is like. He used to save shillings to pay for heat, to then cook a can of stew on top of it. Or is this naughty, like Omen thinks, as usual?

Finally, a song of the non-sexy nature. This one hearkens back to the blue-collar, working man's songs. It's on the sadder side. Darn-near a lamentation, I'd say.

Trickster (and the Mistletoe)

Tue, 15 Aug 2023 10:00:00 GMT

A sister song to last week. We know about Baldr, and we know what happened to him. But what about Loki? Is he good-hearted and he gets carried away sometimes? Or is there malicious intent beneath the facade of the rascally scamp? We can probably interpret it both ways. And several other ways besides. And we probably will!

Tue, 17 Jan 2023 11:00:00 GMT

The hard-working farmer’s life is made all-the-harder on crummy land the Man wants to buy out from under you. When they do, what’s the farmer have left? A pickup truck to take him off away from his farm, and the freeway.

Steel Monkey

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 11:00:00 GMT

A real working man’s song to start off the album. We gone from medieval farmer/hunter, to fisherman, to super spy, and now we land on a man who works the steel. Ian leans into the blue collar aspect of Tull with this one. And it’s not necessarily a bad thing.

We Five Kings / A Winter Snowscape

Tue, 27 Dec 2022 11:00:00 GMT

Another pair of instrumentals this week. The last of our tracks from the Christmas Album, in fact! We start out with a funky jam, as Tull is wont to do with Christmas tunes. But we wrap up with a really gorgeous, haunting piece. An introspective and lovely way to round out the year.

Tue, 20 Dec 2022 11:00:00 GMT

An introspective, not-so-super-positive Christmas song. A nice change from the bright, everyone-has-to-always-be-happy-at-all-times tunes we’re normally fed at this time. It puts life into perspective a little bit more, maybe?

General Crossing

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 11:00:00 GMT

What. The hay. Okay, we’re thinking Cold War era, right? Is our Tall General a nuke? Is it the dude pushing the button (…out, button in) to launch the aforementioned missile? It doesn’t seem like it’s heavily veiled, this one, but it appears to be chock full of vague and perhaps dated references. We’ll do our best with this, the final track off of Under Wraps.

Automotive Engineering

Tue, 29 Nov 2022 11:00:00 GMT

Ever on top of technology, Ian observes the state of the automotive industry. Where was it when he was a wee lad in the fens of Scotland? What were the trends then? And how has it evolved over the years, into the mid-80s? It’s all about the development of the science and engineering, baby.

It all comes to a head in this one song! It explains everything, all of the tracks that we’ve listened to on this album! Or does it? Okay, maybe not. But I can really dig the big reveal in this song, that tells us a little about Ian’s mindset. If you gotta deal with opportunistic invasive parasites like the paparazzi, you might as well have a little fun while doing it, right?

Heat

Tue, 08 Nov 2022 11:00:00 GMT

Things haven’t gone well for our hero. He’s gotta scarper, and fast-like. It appears that he doesn’t have a whole lot of time for goodbyes, he’s gotta get gone, beat feet before his spot’s blown up - possibly quite literally. Is he addressing an adversary in this? Or his lover, Svetlana? Or are they one-in-the-same?!

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 10:00:00 GMT

Seems like our heroes in a tight spot. Has he been made? Is he being tracked and followed by any number of unidentified cars? Or is the job getting to him, and he’s seeing Ivan everywhere? Sounds like, if he can survive until extraction, our hero needs a bit of a vacation. Maybe he and Svetlana can go to Cabo for a few weeks.

We have a bit of mystery on our hands here! A frigid landscape, a disappearance, an unclaimed pair of snow shoes. Is it strange experience for our spy hero? Or is it allegory for a one-night stand? That’s the beauty of Ian’s lyrics - they’ll haunt us all forever, never quite knowing what we’re hearing.

Astronomy

Tue, 18 Oct 2022 10:00:00 GMT

The first half of the song comes across as rather innocuous, maybe a new narrator altogether, just looking up at the sky from his observatory…albeit naked. But then we get a little bit more detail - we hear mention of secrets and *you*, shame and consequences. And don’t forget the Big Bang. Never forget the Big Bang…

Radio Free Moscow

Tue, 11 Oct 2022 10:00:00 GMT

Can’t confuse this one this week. No romance here. Did our protagonist make his decision after Saboteur and decide to be just a spy, his love for Mother England winning out? Or maybe he just had a job that really needed taking care of, and then he’ll return to his blonde bombshell when he’s done? Either way, spies!

Saboteur

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 10:00:00 GMT

There may be an over-arching story forming for this album! Is this our same narrator, and his same love interest? Seems like our spy is having a hard time deciding whom he loves more: his country or his newly discovered love. Whatever decision he comes to, he’ll be a saboteur to the other. No one ever said being a super sexy awesome spy was filled with easy decisions.

True to form for this album, we get a song that, at first glance, seems like one of the two: romance or spy thriller. But, also true to the genre of spy thriller, they are not mutually exclusive. Our sexy spy and his sexy damsel shared a sexy moment, it seems.

A construction crew is pounding away inside your skull, and you've somehow misplaced your bones.

A tale as old as time: Stranger Danger! With a little touch of lightness, of hope, of humanity, so it's not quite all so doom and gloom.

Back to more broad brush strokes from Ian. We get a song that follows you into the darkness, whispering of your greatest fears... On the bright side, it's a new album, even with a few new musicians in the mix!

Batteries Not Included

Tue, 12 Apr 2022 10:00:00 GMT

The first song to feature friend o' the pod - JDA! Ian's fatherhood is showing here, and it's a bit endearing (don't tell him!) It's also so very 80s to write a song about not getting batteries with the toy you bought your kid for Christmas, isn't it? Where are the batteries for my synth?!

Tue, 05 Apr 2022 10:00:00 GMT

A very Cold War, 80s-esque theme this week. Everyone get under your desks, in your tubs, or in your doorframes, pop in your headphones, and listen. And take a drink every time Omen says "nuc-u-ler".

Black Sunday

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 10:00:00 GMT

Despite its manic speed, it's actually a returning home song! Think more Pibroch than Home, though. And because of that very same speed, we don't hear it much in a live setting. The end of side A of A.

Working John, Working Joe

Tue, 22 Mar 2022 10:00:00 GMT

A little less super specific this time around. We sort of hearken back to the general commentary of Stormwatch. What is your goal in life? To work as a cog in the machine, to become an only slightly more important cog with an ulcer? Or do you wanna be a rock star?

Tue, 01 Mar 2022 11:00:00 GMT

We know Ian's not Christian. But is he a man of God? I'm inclined to think so... If this song is any indicator, he certainly repeats it enough! But, is this just another Ian character? Another facade he dons? That's a tough one.

Living in These Hard Times

Tue, 31 Aug 2021 10:00:00 GMT

A lighthearted take on getting through the lean years in one's life. The boys of Tull sure paid their dues to get where they are, but that doesn't mean that they forget where they came from. It's not necessarily consolation. Perhaps a reminder? Or commiseration to some degree?

The title track - another animal love letter. This one respecting and appreciating those beasts of burden who thanklessly bore the brunt of farm labor, only to be cast aside with the advent of machinery.

What seems to be something of a less-than-opaque tune still manages to offer some insight into the album as a whole. It builds on the story, tells us a little more about Ray as a person, and even confirms that Salamander is, in fact, another character in our Rock'n'Roll epic.

Birthday Card at Christmas

Tue, 22 Dec 2020 11:00:00 GMT

A festive flute ditty. A glimpse into Christmas future, listening to a song from 2003, while we're still listening to albums from the 70s. But the expertise of the musicians shines through like fresh snow on a moon-lit evening.

Baker St. Muse

Tue, 15 Dec 2020 11:00:00 GMT

A song of confusing imagery, musing upon muses in a mews, and some rather depressing characters. Omen seems to have a handle on it, though, don't worry. He'll guide us, mostly successfully, through this landscape of unclear poetics.

Requiem

Tue, 01 Dec 2020 11:30:00 GMT

Someone get Ian a tissue and give him a hug! A lugubrious lament of a song that leaves you pretty darn bummed. Hopefully it was a cathartic experience for Ian to perform, and you to hear!

A dance-tastic, thirsty specimen of a song. Unrequited, unknowing love for one's lead dancer may be one of the worst levels of Hell, at least seemingly according to Ian in this song...

Warchild Waltz / Quartet / Mime Sequence

Tue, 08 Sep 2020 10:00:00 GMT

Three just absolutely gorgeous instrumentals, all in one ep! Prepare for Nik to gush for about an hour. And Omen to politely accept it, while passive-aggressively belittling him the whole time. Man, isn't it great having a best friend of 20 years?

A delightful romp up to the shore. A seaside boardwalk of sunshine and cotton candy. With deeper roots, referencing back to Tull's early days as The Blades! Nostalgia ho!

Life Is a Long Song

Tue, 03 Mar 2020 11:00:00 GMT

One of Omen's favorites. A delightful, gentle ditty that's sure to put your life into perspective and make you feel better about things. At least, that's how Omen feels.

Tue, 18 Feb 2020 11:00:00 GMT

We already talked about this one, you might say. Ahah, I say in return. This one's live, has a drum solo that takes up about a quarter of the song, and has lyrics! Might as well be a new song altogether.
