Biographie de l'artiste pour Jethro Tull
Jethro Tull Est Un Groupe De Rock Britannique Progressif Formé Dans La Seconde Partie Des Années '60. Leur Musique Est Marquée Par Un Style Vocal Très Particulier Une Voix Nasillarde Mais Remarquablement Juste Et Le Travail Unique De Flûtiste Du Leader Ian Anderson Et Par Des Constructions De Chansons Inhabituelles Et Souvent Complexes Pour Du Rock . Leur Musique Incorpore Des Éléments De Musique Classique Et Celtique Ainsi Que Des Phases Art Rock Alternatif Du Rock. Malgré Ceci Il Est Difficile De Désigner Des Artistes Spécifiques Ayant Directement Influencé Ou Étant Directement Influencés Par Jethro Tull. Plus Que La Plupart Des Autres Groupes Leur Musique Reste À L'écart Du Reste De La Musique Rock. Peut Être Parce Que La Plupart De Leurs Morceaux Sont Composés En Ternaire Rythme À Trois Temps Comme La Valse Par Exemple Contrairement Au Rythme Binaire Du Rock.

Jethro-Tull - Aqualung
"Aqualung" Is A Song By English Progressive Rock Band Jethro Tull Featured As The First Track On Their 1971 Album Aqualung And Written By The Band's Frontman Ian Anderson And His Then-Wife Jennie Franks. The Original Recording Runs For 6 Minutes And 32 Seconds. Like Many Of Jethro Tull's Songs "Aqualung" Tells A Story —in This Case The Story Of A Homeless Man. The Opening Lyrics Are "Sitting On A Park Bench / Eyeing Little Girls With Bad Intent". The Song Is The Title Track From Jethro Tull's First U.S. Top 10 Album Which Reached #7 In June Of 1971. In An Interview With Ian Anderson In The September 1999 Guitar World He Said Aqualung Wasn't A Concept Album Although A Lot Of People Thought So. The Idea Came About From A Photograph My Wife At The Time Took Of A Tramp In London. I Had Feelings Of Guilt About The Homeless As Well As Fear And Insecurity With People Like That Who Seem A Little Scary. And I Suppose All Of That Was Combined With A Slightly Romanticized Picture Of The Person Who Is Homeless But Yet A Free Spirit Who Either Won't Or Can't Join In Society's Prescribed Formats. So From That Photograph And Those Sentiments I Began Writing The Words To 'Aqualung.' I Can Remember Sitting In A Hotel Room In L.A. Working Out The Chord Structure For The Verses. It's Quite A Tortured Tangle Of Chords But It Was Meant To Really Drag You Here And There And Then Set You Down Into The More Gentle Acoustic Section Of The Song. Reportedly Jimmy Page Entered The Studio While Martin Barre Was Recording The Guitar Solo. It Was During The First Take Martin Didn't Know Jimmy Much And Was A Little Ashamed. Jimmy Waved To Martin From The Control Room While He Was Playing And Martin Stopped Playing For A Short Second And Waved With His Right Hand While Still Sustaining The Sound With The Left Hand. The Solo On The Record Is Actually This First Take. Indeed There Is A Short Sustain With Feedback During The Solo. Anderson Once Joked That If You Turn Up The Volume You Can Even Hear Martin Waving. The Aqualung Character Is Later Mentioned In "Cross-Eyed Mary" Which Follows This Song On The Album.

"Aqualung" is a song by English progressive rock band Jethro Tull, featured as the first track on their 1971 album Aqualung, and written by the band's frontman, Ian Anderson, and his then-wife, Jennie Franks. The original recording runs for 6 minutes and 32 seconds. Like many of Jethro Tull's songs, "Aqualung" tells a story —in this case, the story of a homeless man. The opening lyrics are "Sitting on a park bench / Eyeing little girls with bad intent".
The song is the title track from Jethro Tull's first U.S. Top 10 album, which reached #7 in June of 1971.
In an interview with Ian Anderson in the September 1999 Guitar World he said:
Aqualung wasn't a concept album, although a lot of people thought so. The idea came about from a photograph my wife at the time took of a tramp in London. I had feelings of guilt about the homeless, as well as fear and insecurity with people like that who seem a little scary. And I suppose all of that was combined with a slightly romanticized picture of the person who is homeless but yet a free spirit, who either won't or can't join in society's prescribed formats.
So from that photograph and those sentiments, I began writing the words to 'Aqualung.' I can remember sitting in a hotel room in L.A., working out the chord structure for the verses. It's quite a tortured tangle of chords, but it was meant to really drag you here and there and then set you down into the more gentle acoustic section of the song.
Reportedly, Jimmy Page entered the studio, while Martin Barre was recording the guitar solo. It was during the first take, Martin didn't know Jimmy much, and was a little ashamed. Jimmy waved to Martin from the control room while he was playing, and Martin stopped playing for a short second, and waved with his right hand, while still sustaining the sound with the left hand. The solo on the record is actually this first take. Indeed, there is a short sustain with feedback during the solo. Anderson once joked that if you turn up the volume you can even hear Martin waving.
The Aqualung character is later mentioned in "Cross-Eyed Mary", which follows this song on the album. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
