and, let's just add that the Tull song, Aqualung, uses the word as a person's name, which is totally a weird word choice for the name of a character in a song.
at least this song uses the word as a reference to a self-contained, underwater breathing apparatus.
I' ve always love "odd voices." Waits, Prine, Dylan, Cohen, etc. I've also always loved harmony. Hence I love 10CC and The Beach Boys. My first album was "Little Deuce Coupe."
Amazing track. And while colonialism explains some conflicts, the lack of colonialism explains others. Europeans have no monopoly on moral culpability.
It's Friday, the end of my work week, and a week from Christmas Eve. This song wonderfully reflects how relaxed I feel about life right now, even with all the crap going on. As we say in Canada, 'Beauty.'
Sing it, Jamesetta! I remember fondly the hours of listening to this (and the rest of) your Greatest Hits CD while doing my solo-cross country drive (Phila to Seattle, via Las Vegas) - I didn't have many disks to listen to, and many miles of radio-less road. Something about the rich quality of your voice made me feel un-alone, and I thank you for that. PEACE
I fell in love with "Hank Wilson's Back." by Leon Russell while riding in the back of an over crowded VW.
Van Morrison is obviously a very talented vocalist with very good musicians accompanying him. There is a lot to appreciate, but for whatever reason I have a never been able to. I don't dislike his work but I do tend to just wait through it and I have never felt compelled to listen to him voluntarily. I'm glad so many of you like him. This is clearly my problem. But at least when someone else is indifferent to some artist I am convinced is absolutely brilliant, I have a means of understanding.
to each his own.Just because you don't like Van doesn't male you inferior. Hell, I don't think Elvis is all he's jacked up to be.
Why do people have to be so snarky when they don't like a song? Why can't they just refrain from posting, or at least temper their words of hatred with a little softness? Why do they feel that cynical comments will somehow vindicate their opinions?
I don't understand it. I respect their opinions, but oh, to read them...especially when they're aimed at a song I like (this is MY opinion, and I'm not speaking for the masses here) makes me wonder if I'm lacking somehow. Maybe I missed the memo that said "Hate this song - attack this song - attack this artist and everything he/she has ever done." I know I'm not well-educated or well-versed in PearlJam-dom - or any "dom" for that matter. I know what I love. To see such hatred of a song is scary to me.
Maybe I don't belong here. I love the music played here, even if at times I don't understand it and can't embrace it. It's still music, and I'm grateful for it. I fear there will come a time when we won't have music at all, and we'll have to remember all the songs we've heard here - for good or for bad - and call upon them when we'd otherwise have empty air fit only for breathing and not for grabbing wonderful music from out of the everywhere into the here.

An "aqualung," in the British sense, is a drunk.

Such a fabulous song. His guitar work is not fast, it just has emotion in every note. A classic for sure.
BB said it isn't as much the notes but the spaces between them that matters.
Bless you all in Ukraine!
Tough crowd! ...Eh? Fun people to be around?

Isn't Mike the guy that gave us Richard Branson? Or was it the other way around?
I'm listening from 5 Miles Out

Uh, shutting up now.
There will ALWAYS be music!
When this came out, there was nothing in the world like it, and we absolutely ate it up. HEADY TIMES! TH was ORIGINAL as it gets!
"Does anyone have any questions?"
I love everything that JB has done.
I feel the same about Gordie Lightfoot.
