Jethro Tull recorded in studio, from the album "Living In The Past" released in 1972. This represents one fan's mental images inspired by lyrics from this "Living In The Past"-era song:

Please let me know if you like it or hate it.

Great stuff yet again! Looking foirward to the next one, have you done any others by other bands recently? If so please put the link up here, I'm sure many, like me, would be pleased to see more of your other work as well.

I think think it's great! I'd love to do something like that. I've done one digital montage of Tull music so far. Maybe I'll set it to pictures one day and get it up on Youtube. Now don't anybody go stealing my idea!!!!

This guy already knows how I feel about his efforts but I want it posted here on the board too, so impressed and touched am I by his efforts. The only other effort I have seen with Tull music set to images that is of a similar strain of quality is the one someone did to Salamander, actually using lovely pictures of Kensington, ancient salamander imagery, great and apropos images of Ian from around the conception of the song, (I am often baffled by very out of date pictures of the band used on some of the songs on You Tube). I would post the link but this thread is not about that. Am I the only one to notice amongst the homes pictured I am quite sure are the Dunfermline and Skye homes of Anderson. Not that any but a truly hopeless fanatic should notice. If I thought any of you had a more direct pipeline to Ian than the web board, I would sorely encourage that this be passed on to him, I will bet the old boy would get choked up. Btw my hat is off to IA for never, even within wealth, forgetting the value of a dollar or pound or euro, how difficult they are to attain,for keeping his home upon his "native heath" even given the insane tax structure for entertainers, name me one other entertainer who did that, for creating jobs as opposed to his entitlements to easy living re Skye, for responsible touring costs even in the big days that see them still a viable touring organization, for fair salaries to employees opinions notwithstanding, for applying his efforts re the planting of trees to cover his own damage, for the water and cat projects,for selling the unspeakably beautiful tract of Skye known as Strathaird to the John Muir society when doubtless a greater profit could have been made selling it to the latest overpriveleged billionaire,for divesting himself of this enterprise, which he entered into when it was new with intent to honor the tract of land he was laird over by finding what was an economic potentiality for it, thereby creating 500 jobs in an economy in the Highlands that I believe at the time saw unemployment at 40 per cent, but getting out upon finding that farmed salmon was unsafe for the environment and potentially for people, this is a good and responsible man who of course wants to hear of no such thing. To see him occasionally referred to or intimated as penny pinching I would mark as at best misinformed and at worst hateful. And no I do not idolize him or any of my other "holy sextet" of the Grateful Dead, Beatles, Jimi, Miles, Trane or JS Bach, in fact, I think I actually yawned in his presence and had some rather audacious and historically accurate observations during my 25 minute visit with him. I think it would be fair to say I idolized Mickey Mantle when I was a little boy. I just believe IA badly outclasses the majority of the human race, including some few who have been his musical employees, and some many thousands who represent his fan base.

WSP, I have to side on 'love it' camp! Great stuff yet again! Looking forward to the next one, have you done any others by other bands recently? If so please put the link up here, I'm sure many, like me, would be pleased to see more of your other work as well. @quizz Kid and fellow inmates: The only other video that has not been posted on this board is "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum, 1967. The easiest way to see all (a whopping, lousy four of them ;-} ) my image-stream videos is at my YouTube Channel www.youtube.com/user/PalerShadeOfWhite . I did not know whether it would be cool to post a PH-only oriented video on this board, and if so in which Sub-Board. I have been thinking that my next immediate project will most likely be "Can't Find My Way Home" by Blind Faith. I also plan to keep on doing JT/IA. especially because The Tullist has encouraged me to look at some more recent IA songs with which I am not familiar yet. The Quizz Kid also has made some recommendations which I have not by any means forgotten about, either. I can't say it enough---Thank you all for making me feel so welcome. Some hardcore fans object to my image concoctions for their sacred bands' music strongly. I guess because it's like "who am I to presume what JT/IA would have wanted as a video in 1972 before there was even an MTV." That is not what I am purporting to at all. Again, these are simply one humble fan's mental images inspired by the lyrics (and music). Of course I don't want to just live on an island alone with them; my hope is always that someone else will in some small measure identify with the mood, feelings, and emotions I experience from this music.

There is no rule book on the interpretation of Ian's lyrics. He enjoys the fact that everyone can make of them what they will. So pay no attention to your detractors.

Tools employed: MS Photo Editor (!), Womble MPEG Video Wizard Hi, Kevin, I just watched both of your latest efforts on youtube and enjoyed them a lot. In both you put together quite an impressive array of images, artwork and photos that seem to match the music and words perfectly, and you've got them timed very well to keep up with the words. I haven't the faintest idea what the words to Whiter Shade of Pale mean, but I realize that was not your purpose, you were just taking individual snippets of the lyrics and matching them to images, like little snapshots. I saw several images having to do with mills and (I think) breweries just after the words The Miller's Tale, and then also the watermill. Were those the Easter eggs you mentioned? Being a Roman History buff, I also love the images of the Roman Forum, House of the Vestal Virgins and Temple of Vesta that you included with the line "sixteen vestal virgins." Great work on these! Jeff

Being a Roman History buff, I also love the images of the Roman Forum, House of the Vestal Virgins and Temple of Vesta that you included with the line "sixteen vestal virgins." Great work on these! Jeff Jeff, Been away for a while, so catching up on this debate a bit late and possibly from a differing perspective as I've read bits and pieces, here and there, about Kevin's very enjoyable works. I think you've hit the nail on the head, it shouldn't necessarily or exclusively be about the direct representation of the lyrics, whatever that may be, as that interpretation of the song can only truly be done by the writer. What Kevin has done is listened to the song and made up his own mind as to his interpretation. That is art, and it doesn't matter if no-one else gets it. The nurse portrayed one image to Ian, but another to someone else who is merely relying on Ian's own word painted interpretation. I can't understand why some people persist in ripping apart artistic interpretations of other people's work. I am sure Ian wrote Nursie for a very personal reason, and we all know this differs from the Nurse from Cheap day Return, but who really knows if that is the case, it could be the same nurse, seen once through the eyes of his father, and again through Ian's own expriences. The only person who truly knows is Ian. What is important is that Ian's work [or anyone else's work for that matter] was significantly powerful enough to inspire someone to render their ideas and make them public. How it is translated into another form of art by another person is up to them, the important thing is that they are happy with it, if the provider of the source material is happy, all the better, if anyone else likes it then that's a bonus. Nothing so positive as someone who creates, nothing so negative as someone who destroys, even worse when it is done on the basis of making it sound like a critique based on the "I know more facts than you" approach. All art is subjective and should be enjoyed and not overly criticised. Technique could possibly be criticised, maybe intent, but interpretation never, it is purely personal. Good luck with your art Kevin, I really don't mind your interpretations, they are your personal artistic take on the works of others, and I really enjoy seeing them here.
