from Oannes * music for Christmas time
🎄
Ένα παλιό, εποχής This Was τραγούδι των Jethro Tull, που κυκλοφόρησε για πρώτη φορά σε άλμπουμ τέσσερα χρόνια αργότερα – στο διπλό compilation Living In The Past του ’72.
Ένα μικρό ανεκτίμητο διαμάντι, και ένα από τα πιο αγαπημένα μου, διαχρονικά, τραγούδια του Ian Anderson.✻
An old Jethro Tull song, from This Was era, which was released on the compilation – double vinyl Living In The Past album, 4 years later, in 1972.
A little precious jewel, and one of my favorite Ian Anderson songs of all times.◼︎
❝ Once in Royal David’s City stood a lonely cattle shed,
Where a mother held her baby.
You’d do well to remember the things He later said.
When you’re stuffing yourselves at the Christmas parties,
You’ll just laugh when I tell you to take a running jump.
You’re missing the point I’m sure does not need making
That Christmas spirit is not what you drink.
So how can you laugh when your own mother’s hungry,
And how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong?
And if I just messed up your thoughtless pleasures,
Remember, if you wish, this is just a Christmas song. ❞

Enjoy!
and
Stay Safe!
As always, I’m happy to hear your thoughts, however I’d highly recommend a direct dialogue with the …’source’ so please visit Oannes’ page where you can also listen to the song !

A wonderful blast from the past Marina! And what a creative header! Your artwork isn’t visible when you read from the reader unless you visit the site (an annoyance that WP should address). I went looking after I read Mark’s comment😍
Ah, thank you, my dear Madhu! I will forward your words to Oannes and thanks for telling me about the header. I didn’t know! 🙏🤗😘🤗🙏
Fantastic song for this season! Jethro Tull was one of a kind!
Oh, indeed!!!!!!! Thank you! I’ll forward your words to Oannes! 🙏
Appropriate for the Season. I picked up a Jethro Tull Christmas CD in a bargain bin several years ago. It’s really quite good. I have stored away with other CDs. I might go see if I can find it that you you reminded me of it.
Good memories!!! 😉
