from Oannes *

Πίσω σε ό,τι προλάβουμε να σώσουμε από το αυγουστιάτικο αφιέρωμα, αρχίζοντας με κάτι από τον συνθέτη του μήνα. Από το Roots To Branches του 1995, άλμπουμ – επιστροφή των Jethro Tull στο ‘70s spirit [με την προσθήκη ινδικών καρυκευμάτων] ακούμε ένα track επίκαιρο από …μετεωρολογικής απόψεως.

✻

Back to what we can salvage from the August tribute, starting with something by this month’s composer. From 1995’s Roots To Branches, Jethro Tull’s album – return to the ’70s spirit [with the addition of Indian spices] we hear a song relevant from a …meteorological point of view.

❝ Brings jasmine tea on a painted tray
And bends to kiss my frown away.
But I’m still still stuck in the August rain;
Stuck out in the cloudburst once again.
The cover’s on, the coast is clear.
We’re all battened down, only us here.
But I’m still still stuck in the August rain;
Stuck out in the cloudburst once again.
She walks between the lines
And she can read my signs.
Stuck out in the August rain:
Out in the cloudburst once again.
Single-minded in my gloom.
I appear to revel in this darkened room.
But I’m still still stuck in the August rain;
Stuck out in the cloudburst once again.
She walks between the lines
And she can read my signs.
Stuck out in the August rain:
Out in the cloudburst once again.❞

Enjoy!
