Jethro Tull's most romantic song, yet to be re-constructed and released, is: 'Requiem for a black satin, whistling, salamander on the summer days sands who wonders aloud if there are reasons for waiting for jack-A-Lynn to give the Gift of Roses as she Bends Like a Willow on Acres Wild'.

Fires at Midnight is a good song, unlike SLYT. but IMO not even close to the best.

"We are our own saviors, as we start both our hearts beating life into each other." What's more romantic than that?

' And who comes here to wish me well ? a sweetly scented angel fell she laid her head upon my disbelief and bathed me with her ever-smile'
Perhaps not romanric in the context of the Passion Play srory line...but standing alone...the most romantic lyrics in Tull...I've purloined them more than once for 'morning after' thank you notes.

I find it chauvinistic in a way, or like he's a bit of a neat freak (or control freak) in giving her such a directive while he "sits easy" after coming home from work, and that detracts somewhat from the romantic aspect. The reference to make-up is also out of place within the context of this album. Jeff

I'm jumping ship.
Wond'ring Aloud get my vote today.
Fires At Midnight, in my opinion, is in no way the most romantic song on this list. A point deducted.

Jeff ........... see where you're coming from and certainly sexism was alive and well and living in songwriting in the 60's and 70's However my take on it is the 'ordinary setting' ..... "You go upstairs and do your usual routine - take off your make-up -brush your teeth etc etc while I'll sit down here after my day's work ( gamekeeper/rock star - it doesn't matter) and sit here 'easy' ie setting the time and not rushing /cramming it in to write what I should have done ages ago a song about how I feel about you.......... I'm not saying I don't like the walking on a sunset beach or through the woods but this is simple and different. I think we're all agreed that the fun of these polls is in the choices we make and the discussion and I certainly could never choose just one song.

The song is quite evocative and definitely has a romantic side to it, but the main thrust has to do more with the comfort and pleasures of home, which is another one of Ian's favorite topics. Jeff
