Intriguing song, and a poignant recollection it inspires indeed, of the lonliness that I as a young kid imagined that Michael Collins felt, orbiting the moon in the command module.
I wionder what Tull listeners' take is on the mentions of the ape's curiosity, the monkey's seed and the humanoid thrill. Does this link with the "money power win" notiion? Is Ian saying that despite a great feat of human ingenuity, going to the moon, we're still primitive and primal back here on earth.
Kudos to sonmeanings.net for providing a forum for thoughtful exchange of ideas on great artists like those of Tull!
