Aqualung, by the progressive rock super band Jethro Tull, an iconic song from the early 70's, in which Ian Anderson would capture his genius, as in the rest of his works of art.
This song addresses the theme of manifest misery in an elderly beggar named Aqualung. He is a fictional character, based on a photographic image that Ian's wife took of a homeless man in London.
Musically, this song is somewhat confusing, as it goes beyond the standards for the time. As Ian would say in an interview "It's a real and tortuous mess of chords, but it was designed to take us from here to there until leading us to the most melodious acoustic passage of the composition."
I hope you enjoy it!
Aqualung, de la súper banda de rock progresivo Jethro Tull, tema icónico de principios de los 70's, en el que Ian Anderson plasmaría su genialidad, como en el resto de sus obras de arte.
Esta canción aborda el tema de la miseria manifiesta en un pordiosero de avanzada edad llamado Aqualung. Es un personaje de ficción, basado en una imagen fotográfica que tomara la esposa de Ian en Londres a un vagabundo.
Musicalmente, esta obra es algo confusa, pues se sale de los estándares para la época. Como diría Ian en una entrevista "Es un auténtico y tortuoso embrollo de acordes, pero estaba pensado para llevarnos de acá para allá hasta conducirnos al pasaje acústico más melodioso de la composición."
Espero lo disfruten!
