Understanding Aqualung

We're back, and we're looking at one of my favorite songs off probably my favorite album of all time! Jethro Tull's biggest hit features incredibly complex musical ideas that it hides behind a veil of folky charm, telling a dark and powerful story both in its lyrics and in its composition. Borrowing influences from a wide range of musical styles, Aqualung ties everything together so well that you barely notice how much it's actually doing.
