Stuck in the August rain....

This song I consider one of Jethro Tull's biggest masterpieces....It comprises this amazing blend of so many genres of music...It just gives you this faraway feel that....that we-ll, no song has yet been able to match....not for me, at any rate... Just....incredibly beautiful music...
It makes me imagine this long desolate tree-lined road....with autumn leaves scattered all over the street....Me and my solitude....
And it always makes me sigh...:)

I'm still stuck in the August rain...
Stuck out in the cloudburst once again...
Bavra mann dekhne chala ek sapna....

Streets we have never walked on...
Windows we have never opened...
Hands we have never held...
Dreams we shall never, never see again..

Bavra mann dekhne chala ek sapna..
Bavre se mann ki dekho...bavri hain baatein...
Bavri si dhadkanein hain...bavri hain saansein...

Lives we have never lived...
Hopes we have never realized...
Fires we have never lit...
Loves we shall never, never make again...

Bavra mann dekhne chala ek sapna...

I hear those strange whispers again.......


"Profound" would be an understatement...
This song always makes me feel a little foolish about all the things I want...all the things I want to be, to do, to have....Makes me wonder if I am as "Bavra" as the singer suggests...But then maybe we all are...
