Song 112 ( Jethro Tull - Ring Out Solstice Bells )

Happy Solstice everyone! Even though I am currently picking 'Tull era songs on Sundays, I could not let this day go without picking this song. The song is about the ancient celebration of the longest night of the year (Solstice), and to herald in longer days and Spring. This is when the Earth's axis is tilted at its maximum from the sun in the Northern Hemisphere.
This song was released on both a single and on the Songs From The Wood album; in '04 they also re-recorded it for their Christmas Album. I really like almost every aspect of this song and is a very nice Seasonal tune.
