Janu great thread....

here is another Tull song to add...Reasons For Waiting

the last verse:
What A Reason For Waiting
and dreaming of dreams
so here's hoping you've faith in impossible schemes
that are born in the sigh of the wind blowing by
while the dimming light brings the end to a night of loving

Morthoron, grand contributions, thanks for joining us on this windy trip. I knew sooner or later our best musical list maker would contribute with some good stuff, though two of them were already posted by other two Tullianers fellows ;D, it doesn't matter for me since they are as good as for listening them again. What I liked the most has been Floyd's even though Donovan's is superb as well. Cheers! :P

Charlie, glad you are relishin' the thought, I knew it could be interesting for reading back those awesome lirycs of our beloved bands and remarkable songwriters. Fantastic find your Tull's tune, from an album I worship, mentioning winds on it. Thanks again :P

Anew two Jethro's songs on the same live tube mentioning windy points on two verses, Seal Driver from the Broadsword and The Beast album :

I'm no great looker, I'm no fast shakes.
I'll give you a steady push on a six knot simmering high tide.
I can hold us down keep our head to the wind,
Or let us roll on the broadside, cold spray flying in,
And we'll ride on the swell and our hearts are alive.
Let me make you my seal driver.

Could you fancy me as a pirate bold,
Or a longship Viking warrior with the old gods on his side?
Well I'm an inshore man and I'm nobody's hero,
But I'll make you tight for a windy night and a dark ride.
Let me take you in hand and bring you alive.
Going to make you my seal driver.

AWESOME MARTIN'S SOLO GUITAR ON SEAL DRIVER. IT ROCKS!!

And next one with just a windy reference on our ever significant tune "Songs From The Wood" from the same album :

greetings well met fellow, hail!
i am the wind to fill your sail.
i am the cross to take your nail:
a singer of these ageless times,
with kitchen prose and gutter rhymes.
songs from the wood make you feel much better.




Thanks both of you. Come on!, read and chase that windy reference, them are there waiting for shiverin' us. ::)

Here is another one...Home

last line of the song
midwife to winds that send me home



Orion...
their words lost blowing on cold winds in darkest Chelsea

Protect And Survive


They left the dual carriageway at a hundred miles an hour-a tail wind chasing them away

Well done Charlie, you are enjoying the windy pun game :P

J. Tull's First Snow In Brooklyn has two windy references:

Thin wind stings my face: pull collar up.
I could murder coffee in a grande cup.
No welcome deli; there’s no Starbucks here.
A dime for a quick phone call could cost me dear.

and

Some things are best forgotten: some are better half-remembered.
I just thought that I might be there on your, on your Christmas night.
And the first snow on Brooklyn makes a lonely road to travel –
cold crunch steps that echo as the blizzard bites.




What a cold is being here today!! ::)

Black Satin Dancer
thin wind whispering on broken mandolin

Requiem

Well I saw a bird today-flying from a bush and the wind blew it away

Two great Tull's songs from the grand Minstrel In The Gallery album including some good explicit windy appointments. You've made a good job today, thanks Charlie. :-/

Refugees by VDGG :

North was somewhere years ago and cold:
Ice locked the people's hearts and made them old.
South was birth to pleasant lands, but dry:
I walked the waters' depths and played my mind.
East was dawn, coming alive in the golden sun:
the winds came, gently, several heads became one
in the summertime, though august people sneered;
we were at peace, and we cheered.

D'oh! Serves me right for not looking at the whole thread! Now that I've paid a bit more attention, here are a few progressive numbers for your edification...



Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place
Yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon
Will return again
Sure as the dust that floats b'hind you
When movin' through Kashmir
Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails
Across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
'Long the straits of fear...



By our command, waters retreat, show my power, halt at my feet,
But the cause was lost, now cold winds blow...



Love comes to you and you follow
Lose one on to the heart of the sunrise
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with its arms all around me...



Ride along the winds of time and see where we have been,
The glorious age of Camelot, when Guinevere was Queen.
It all unfolds before your eyes
As Merlin casts his spell.

Morthoron, I don't think so. ;D . . Coincidentally we've posted the same Yes' song, I did it on the previous page :-X , I don't mind at all, even so you've just found three other windy treasures for our own amusement. Thanks a lot for your new awesome windy posts. Good job morthoron. :P ;)

Once again with two Genesis' gems from a SUPREME album IMHO.

Looking for Someone



Keep on a straight line
I don't believe I can,
Trying to find a needle in a haystack,
Chilly wind you're piercing like a dagger - it hurts me so.
Yeaugh

Visions of Angels:



Ice is moving and the world's begun to freeze
see the sunlight stopped and deadned by the breeze
Minds are empty bodies more insensitive
some believe that when they die they really live

Don't stop folks, there are hundreds, thousands, millions of songs which argue or suggest some windy appointments. Look sharp. ::)

Maybe Mayhem

we ride the thin winds of the night

Kelpie

there was a warm wind with the high tide

Beltane

and the thin wind crawls along your neck

Aeroplane

dying is the wind but climbing

Coronach

with the wind from the east

Mountain Men

with future sun calls winds to blow


I am having fun with this thread thanks Serge

As Charlie has been showing us, Ian's songwriter likes go into windy topics enough. Glad you're the enjoying my thought, Charlie. Awesome windy Tull's list of songs mentioning windy puns . Don't stop, mate. ;)

One of the most impressive prog rock song opening of the History exhibits a quite clear windy reference. ::)




Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Come on folks, there's still hundreds of songs left waiting for discerning nice windy references. :P

I think it would be a great idea to add a different subject each month..maybe we can list some suggestions for March and continue Serge's great idea..

You're thinkin' faultlessly, Charlie, we also could add it a stylish main title : "The Endless Lirycs Game", just to put an example ;D .
By chance yesterday as I was listening a musical radio program they were examining a Marvin Gaye's song lyrics and it was "infidelity" as the main argued subject, a quite intricate one, at least for me. ??? .
Well, there are many other subjects to deal with, and of course for me it seems fascinating and excellent your idea. :P

John, another great Floyd's song arguing a windy reference. The same song was posted by Morthoron the 13th of this month, you have inadvertently agreed, it's nobody's fault. Hope you all are enjoying the game. Keep on searchin' :P thanks again.

I'm not quite sure that it can be accepted as a windy reference because I think I've found some slightly ones on the album of the Year ;D :

TAAB PART 2

What do you do when
the old man's gone -- do you want to be him? And
your real self sings the song.
Do you want to free him?
No one to help you get up steam --
and the whirlpool turns you `way off-beam.

and two other references which i believe they hasn't so much to do with the main thought being discussed in here, I need help from english language whiz kids :) :

So come all ye young men who are building castles!
Kindly state the time of the year and join your voices in a hellish chorus.
Mark the precise nature of your fear.
Let me help you pick up your dead as the sins of the father are fed
with
the blood of the fools and
the thoughts of the wise and
from the pan under your bed.
Let me make you a present of song as
the wise man breaks wind and is gone while
the fool with the hour-glass is cooking his goose and
the nursery rhyme winds along.



I think I'm going astray this time, Ian's songwritting is magnificent. ::)

The Thread Rocks Wildly Windy ::)

Queen and Country--from the Warchild album


The wind is 0n the river and the tide turned to late


Too Old To Rock n Roll: Too Young To Die-from the Too Old To Rock n Roll: Too Young To Die album


his wind whipped words echoed the final take


....And the Mouse Police Never Sleeps from Heavy Horses


Windy roof top-weathercock

Rover-from Heavy Horses


holding on a windward course

And Further On from A


Brave fires they flicker,cough-give way to winds

It is amazing at how great Ian is at writting..just increditable

Far out! Charlie, what a great windy finds you got today, three of my ever top beloved Tull songs did also hold some windy appointments, I hadn't examined them yet, you nailed it this time, good played mate, awesome your late whole selection too. Applause!! :P


Changin' of horses ;D , an excellent song by Magna Carta - Lord of the Ages that you'll all enjoy by watching one more time the "Ring" video as adjunt. ::) . At approximately 4:03 the song is getting and getting higher just as, at the same moment, the best present series actor, for me, appears onto that wood bonfire to end up dying into a fireball, amazing representation, he was the incomparable John Noble, nowadays performing the 4th season of Fringe. What a good serie!!! Don't miss it. ::)




Below a dark forest in caves of black granite
The children of darkness dwelled in oblivion
Betraying one another in endless confusion
But the Lord of the Dark had bewitched them
From times first creation
The wise men and prophets
And all workers of magic
Had warned of the wreckoning
The wind and the fire
And the plague of destruction that follows the path
Of evil

We want some more windy songs, don't let us alone, please ;D

What a sorrow, zero visits to this thread in the course of the last 24 hours, sorry, just one, mine. [image]
What's wrong folks? I thought the idea was good for our own amusement, ???, even so I don't wish at all the whole thing is gonna develop into a freezin' stuff and I'll persist postin' songs about winds or just mentionin' a windy reference, that was the object, there're likely hundreds of them out there . Let's make this ride into a wonderful site among all, next April is round the corner waitin' all for a new excitin' Tull release, I don't like checkin' some gettin' bored before the great event. :P . Come on folks , do uncover some. :P . Long-life the windy thread. ::)

I pursue : Black Sabbath - A Bit of Finger/Sleepin' Village/Warnin' Part I



Red sun rising in the sky,
Sleepin' village, cock'rel's cry
Soft breeze blowin' in the trees
Peace of mind, feel at ease


Now the first day that I met ya
I was looking in the sky,
When the sun turned all a blur and the thunder clouds rolled by
The sea began to shiver and the wind began to moan,
