The man is a musical genius, plain and simple.

Ian Anderson is the absolute best and was one of a kind in his era even though he admitted that he learnt the wrong way how to play the flute. I, personally, don't give a damn if he learnt right or wrong way, I look at the performance. He was fantastic on stage, he still is. I love this guy's talent.

There's nothing like classic Tull. Timeless and uplifting. Superbly written and performed.

I have always loved Jethro Tull and have been listening since the early 1970s. The music is so beautiful it takes me to another place. 🏝🌊🌺🌞🙏

My dad was the original superfan of this man and Jethro Tull.When he passed and I couldnt get to his funeral.All I could do was sing this song in my head then nearly passed out in shock when I found that this was the song on my dads final journey.😥😥😥Hope it was a message from dad.

Ive followed you for over 50 years Ian and lost count of the time's ive see you live. My favourite memory was the Thick as a Brick tour . Next time you're in Manchester or Blackburn or even Blackpool can you come and see me at my care home 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🎸

There is nothing more pretty than to hear these young people playing a Tull song.

First time I saw Ian and Tull was in Memphis w/ Uriah Heep in "78.. I was 15 yrs old.. twas a life changing experience

Dear Mr. Anderson, Thank you for the music.

Been listening to Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull since 1977 and there still is so much beauty, harmony, melody, creativity in their music. Can feel it and them There was just this one time when they played live in my country and I traveled 700 miles in difficult conditions for that show. It was electrifying, amazinggggg and I had to sleep in the campus grounds that night coz I didn't have the money to rent a room at any hotel. Just in for the Jethro Tull show and back. A lifetime's dream came true Love you Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull ❤

Never gets old.

”But the tune ends too soon for us all", that's my all-time favorite line from a song

More than 50 year of endless love !

What a beautiful song! Didn't want it to end. Makes me feel good to be alive. Thanks a lot Ian.

Masterpiece

My favoite Melody, here, but all the show, is really gorgeous, musically. ✨🌟💫

To my best friend.. We bring life into this and we must care about their life not just your own. The promise of God should be spread to our children.

Such a timeless tune, one of my favourites ever. The instrumentation is amazing it gives me chills every time

His voice is sounding so good. It went through a rough patch after a lot of touring, but it's great to hear it in such good form.

My favourite song ever first heard it at school and am 65 now, and when I finally leave its going to be playing.

Perfect! My last two picks were I'm not in love, and The Weight. What a trio!

Thank you Ian and Tull for all the joy you bought us way back in our younger days and of course, now. ❤

Life is a long song and I love you for making it sweet

My meds this song,keeps me going in this cold World getting colder.

39 years old, and I love this!!!

I love his soulful voice!!!! I wore the grooves off of “Thick as a Brick” album!

An old favorite from when I was around 11 , and now 35 years later wow it has new meanings. Thank you Ian for sharing so much beauty and truth 🥰💟

One of my favourite groups of all time.

Masterful. A now forever tainted, beautiful song for me, having just learned the meaning in the last verse.

This is magical song! Whatever I do, it always turns my mood to positive way :)

It's a very pleasant song to listen to.

This will be played at my funeral…. No question

Master at work! The orchestra is such a complement!

This song have a long life! 🎵🎼😁

The Minstrel 🎶💖🎶

This was the perfect song to wake up this morning was literally wiping the dust from eyes as he was singing the words❤

Excellent and faithful to the original. 50 years ago my folks told me this music will never last. I'm pleased to say they were wrong. Well done Ian and JT members past and present...

Better ian. You are amazing musician. Of the Sxx. Health for you. Greetings. Forever Ian. Great man.

Amazing lyrics.

Beautiful!

Brilliant

Ian Anderson is the greatest artist of all-time hands down.

Class .only way to discribe it.

This never gets old.

b e l l i s i m a 💫 & bravo {that chorus is like poetry} all one word ~ life'salongsong 🎶✨

A true original

Beautiful song! They've been a favourite of mine since I heard 'Stand Up'. I first saw Jethro Tull at the Liverpool Stadium back in 1971 when they toured the Album Aqualung👌,. Then again when they toured Thick as a Brick👌, Outstanding!. I saw them many times at the hight of their powers. I love these orchestral pieces 👌. Tough to hear of Ian's pulmonary problems, I'm sure he's keeping well away from folks during this 'virus' Be well dear friend. "..you poor old sod, you see it's only me..." ✌️🐝

When I was young...

HailYes & I thank y'all for all...

WOW!

Well folks: I don't plan my own demise any time soon, but Mein Gottte, am I happy to entrust Mr Ian Anderson with any orchestral tweaks! Go Ian!

So glad I've got notifications on :) long time since heard this one cheers

Thanks Ian see you in padova

❤❤❤❤❤

When you're falling awake And you take stock of the new day And you hear your voice croak As you choke on what you need to say Well, don't you fret, don't you fear I will give you good cheer Life's a long song Life's a long song Life's a long song If you wait then your plate I will fill As the verses unfold And your soul suffers the long day And the twelve o'clock gloom, spins the room You struggle on your way Well, don't you sigh, don't you cry Lick the dust from your eye Life's a long song Life's a long song Life's a long song We will meet in the sweet light of dawn As the Baker Street train spills your pain All over your new dress And the symphony sounds underground Put you under duress Well, don't you squeal as the heel Grinds you under the wheels Life's a long song Life's a long song Life's a long song But the tune ends too soon for us all But the tune ends too soon for us all

This very talented musician, is a medieval modern very talented composer. He has a unique style. One of the greatest of all times.

This is, you know, a notch beyond mere rock and roll.

A beautiful version of this lovely piece that I've loved for 40 years. Isaw ioan with an orchestra back in 2005 and 2006 but I don't think they played this one. Simply full of joy , light and delicate. I would say typically English too... and typically Ian Anderson. Hats off, for this one and so many others !

Sem alguma dúvida, minha opinião, o "melhor" da atualidade.

Love this song and all the rest!!!!!

Caramba ese don musical de Ian Anderson...ya no se ve ese nivel...

I love this song since I was twenty.

i'm writing/illustrating a fairytale graphic novel at present........... inspirational music used? Sir, there is only one choice when you want your head in a magic mindframe...... TULL. :)

Life a long Song..Happy birthday..ministrel of my Life..

Per Jan Anderson tiferò Scozia!

Special One

❤

The best band of progressive rock...ever

The guitar 🎸 that Ian plays in the videos of this song is very interesting. The fullness of the acustic sound makes me wonder if the instrument is being amplifier and if so, how.? I don't see any wires. Anyway, it's a great and wonderful sound. I've been a Jethro Tull fan from the gitgo.

Magnificent!

Remember (of course) buying my copy of the superlative 'Life Is a Long Song' mini-disc in Cheltenham back in 1972. Not a bum note on the whole disc. Again, quite superlative! Whatever 'genius' means - Anderson is it ...

Bravo !

That’s perfect

Ian ist ein Genie,aber seine Stimme hat da schon abgebaut. Ich habe Tull 1986 zuletzt live gesehen und merkte schon das die Stimme von Ian im Begriff war zu altern. Aber ich liebe JT und alles instrumentelle war live immer total perfekt. Nicht zu vergessen ist auch Ian's unglaublicher Humor.

Il rock diverso che cercavo in gioventù

Gewoon zalig!

Put up your Salmon Video in your Camo and boat on your Salmon Farm saw it in the Army loved it

Wonderful listen this songs.

a strong version

Aqualung? Locomotive Breath? They are nice - but there is SO MUCH more!

🔥

Unworldly

Una de las mejores versiones que escuche. 🧡

Who likes to listen to Jethro Tull, Yes and Frank Zappa has reached the highest level of knowledge of music.

Still good today good old Ian always made great albums and the great band of musicians when music was music and had to be able to play one of the best of the prog era with others yes genesis pink floyd elp nectar camel focus just to say a few that's how it's done kids
