Sampler Promo 1995
Ring Out, Solstice Bells is a Christmas song with two
differences. Firstly it is (like many Tull songs) in an uncommon
time signature, meaning that you have to have three and a half
legs to be able to dance to it. Secondly, it celebrates, strictly
speaking, not Christmas Day itself, but the Winter Solstice
celebrated by the ancient Druids of Britain and virtually supplanted
by the later imposed religion of Christianity. Either way, it's
still a good excuse for a party. (1976 from "Songs From
The Wood")
A Christmas Song
states quite clearly, however, that it's not a good excuse for
a party, reminding us that is is a religious festival we are
celebrating and that we should spend both time and thought for
compassion and spiritual search as opposed to the selfis pursuit
of the material and the good time. Old spoil sport, that Anderson.
Funny; the you one was too. (1968 from "Living In The Past")
Another Christmas Song
is a development of the 1968 original, stressing the festive
date as a time for remembering family, friends and loved ones
around the world. It has an international feel to it so - if
it moves you to pick up the phone this Christmas and make an
old Granny happy at the sound of a longed-for voice, don't blame
me if she happens to live in Taiwan and the subsequent AT&T
bill ruins your weekend.
