Jethro Tull: “Moths” (1978)

From one of the least talked-about Jethro Tull albums, 1978’s Heavy Horses, comes this little gem. Fresh off the masterpiece that was Songs From the Wood, Ian Anderson brought that album’s folk leanings to another pastoral set of songs with the English countryside as its focus.

“Moths” is both an ode to making love on a May evening and a reminder of the fleeting nature of life’s ecstatic moments.

    My heart leaps when I hear this song. I love every verse and the bridge! Oh Ian Anderson you get me every time. The flute and melody give me butterflies in my stomach.
