6280. Jethro Tull - Re-Assuring Tune
 |
| From: A Passion Play; Year: 1973; Genre: Progressive Rock/Symphonic Rock |
Well, today marks, I suppose the beginning of the holiday season and all the positives and negatives therein. Thanksgiving in particular has always been somewhat difficult for me personally with the plethora of personalities and sore trigger spots that you try to navigate like an old minefield, knowing that the slightest wrong step will set off an explosion figuratively speaking. I get exhausted having to put on a false front, keeping all of the cracks in my facade as opaque as possible. All I can say is that when the season is over I will definitely need a long break.
Anyway, to today's pick, (it is a song blog after all).
This brief instrumental piece shows up at the end of Act 1, just after protagonist Ronnie Pilgrim's funeral as he is being taken to the afterlife to the "viewing room" at the start of Act 2. It starts out on the acoustic guitar and then the whole band kicks in with the organ really being the centrepiece and then symmetrically goes back to the acoustic guitar piece.
