Our title track. When you've been around long enough, you begin to think. Heck, I'm half Ian's age and I can't stop!

Heimdall - the ever-vigilant. The god that warns the others of incoming threats. A subtle badass, even.

Bounty, life, harvest, and love. Freyr and Freya bring that really boho feel to the song.

A sister song to last week. We know about Baldr, and we know what happened to him. But what about Loki? Is he good-hearted and he gets carried away sometimes? Or is there malicious intent beneath the facade of the rascally scamp? We can probably interpret it both ways. And several other ways besides. And we probably will!23rd studio album - RökFlöteGet your Talk Tull To Me merch here!Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.Art credit: Burton SilvermanMusic credits:“Bourée” - Jethro Tull“Trickster (and the Mistletoe)” - Jethro Tull”Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It” - Will Smith”Fylingdale Flyer” - Jethro Tull”Jack-in-the-Green” - Jethro Tull Hosted on Acast.

Another in-person Momes experience!The tragic tale of a beautiful boy. Everybody loves Baldr! But why did Loki do it? A goof too far? Malicious jealousy? And then Ian throws in a mildly recent cultural reference to boot! What a special song this is.23rd studio album - RökFlöteGet your Talk Tull To Me merch here!Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.Art credit: Burton SilvermanMusic credits:“Bourée” - Jethro Tull“The Perfect One” - Jethro Tull”Fylingdale Flyer” - Jethro Tull Hosted on Acast.

Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?! Ah, my hand! The sweet pooch that is Fenrir - maybe he's a bit misunderstood. Would he have been a monster had he been treated differently?

Our first in-person recording since the camping trip!Hammers, giant serpents, the end of the wooooorld! Not to mention some ripping synth, face melting guitar, and ... falsetto?

It's Friggin' Freyja! Feather boa, little kitties, she's ready to go. Where do we see Freyja today? What role does Ian take as the singer/orator here?

Gather 'round, kids. Let's talk about the god who brought us knowledge (and runes!), at the expense of just a simple eye.

A bit more of the same story from last week. Maybe a little more nuanced.
