Ian Anderson - Hand Of Thumbs video free download
Yet another track off of Rupi's Dance in 2003.
Lyrics - My hand of thumbs is shaking
I am so glad to meet you
All tongue-tied and twisted
My lips stuck like glue
More than a lifetime to say, How are you?
More than an ocean to cross becalmed.
Less than a second to sink in silence.
Yours truly, I remain disarmed.
Saw you peeping from the corner.
Your eyes seemed to call hello.
Im all too easily mistaken,
My feet unsteady as they go.
Was I a suave and confident trickster
I would sweep you up and carry you down
To raspberry meadows under diamond skies
and just mess around. Just mess around.
Ian's Footnotes - An imagined meeting with seductive stranger, glimpsed across yet another crowded room. Must try to practice these social skills. Must try to do better. Must try to be more confident.
Funny old business, fear of humiliating failure

Okay, let me say this for all of the YouTube universe to hear: I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Aqua, you're a jolly fine fellow to send this to me. I've been sadly remiss in thoroughly sifting through all of your posted vids, but this one was an especially huge pleasure to watch. Nicely done. I really need to do more extensive image searches, 'cause there you go again in using pics I've not yet seen. If there were ever a song by Ian which I could strongly relate to on a personal level, it's surely this one.15 years ago

Great ! You see where I'm coming from: There's music I love, music I like, music that's ok (I could sit in your living room (or whatever you call them over there - lounge?), drink a coffee (or whatever...) and happily have this playing in the background. Then there's music that would make me jump up, coffee going everywhere, and have me run out into the street screaming.........!!15 years ago

Don't get me wrong, it's not bad. It doesn't make me hide in a corner with a mattress over my head like ELP does !15 years ago

Well, I know its a bit weird his solo music. Its more acoustic obviously, but still has that Tull edge to it. But thanks again!15 years ago
