Jethro Tull - Dharma For One Lyrics






[Introduction:]
She's really turned on by the television, and vice versa.
Here's a song called, ??. Yes, right. Rearranged though,
nevertheless. A new lease on life. In other words, it's just a bit
louder. ``Dharma For One''.

[Lyrics:]
Dharma, seek and you will find
truth within your mind, Dharma.

Dharma, each to his own we say,
together we'll end astray, Dharma.

Truth is like freedom, it doesn't fool me.
Be true to yourself, never think that you're free.
Dharma will come eventually.

[Outtroduction:]
Thank you! ??

Jethro Tull Dharma For One Comments
  1. C.... F....

    Tull playing live NEVER let you down!

  2. h.... ....

    Well that was quite a disappointment didn't even sing the song. Anderson's singing voice is not quite what is used to be, just a guess. Not like the old days, was fortunate enough to have seen early tours of several of the early Albums. When he actually sang Dharma for one, amazing times indeed!

  3. m.... t....

    I was wondering where Ian Anderson went until @6:10 :-)

  4. M.... S....

    I enjoyed hearing this, but the sound is a little too refined, if that is the right word, compared to the early recording and the early live versions. Too jazzy or something. Can't quite put my finger on what bothers me about it.

  5. G.... R....

    I once shot a Clag, only ate the meat didn't bother with the horn? did I make a mistake?

  6. W.... G....

    Song starts at 1:28 Enjoy!

  7. P.... C....

    p00fters

  8. P.... C....

    fuck off

  9. S.... K....

    I can't be the only one that kinda wants a claghorn. It's probably expensive to make, but I think it would be well worth it.

  10. T.... C....

    The last incarnation of Jethro Tull. I knew everything was going to shit when I didn't recognize the bass player or drummer...yep..yep.. either way pretty good rendition, Doanne sounds great on the drums, and Martin's little play is awesome, kinda wished it had kept going.

  11. J.... S....

    These drummers must be the happiest people in the world........

  12. a.... g....

    Waahh!!! Mamma mia!!!!!!!!!! Perfect! If qualcuno ask me what is the perfection i rispondo to see this!

  13. A.... R....

    He's got an electric pickup on that flute! Nice! Those are fun!

  14. G.... P....

    Ian´s drum solo comment kind of rolled over everybody there in Basel. He could have supplied them with a "No drum solos? I think that deserves a boo, don´t you?!"

  15. R.... K....

    loved the flute player in breaking bad

  16. S.... R....

    clive bunker is the best tull drummer!!

    S.... R....

    Bunker was great, no doubt...but for me Barrie Barlow was the best drummer Tull ever had

    S.... R....

    Bunker had to leave cause he couldn't play the sophisticated stuff after Aqualung.

    S.... R....

    @Tom Dobie Well Bunker supposedly left to spend more time with his new wife and to start a family, but you're right that Bunker wasn't really comfortable with the weird time signatures, but Barlow was. So once Barlow came onboard it allowed for the band to do trickier material. Don't get me wrong, Bunker was an excellent drummer, he was just more of a hard blues rock drummer whereas Barlow was more along the lines of a Bill Bruford or Carl Palmer, able to play really tricky material but also act as a percussionist with marimbas, gongs, glockenspiels, etc. Barlow greatly expanded the repertoire of Tull.

    S.... R....

    @Sandro Kovalev Couldn't agree more Sandro. Merry Christmas from Germany!

    S.... R....

    @Tom Dobie Merry Christmas to you too...mine doesn't happen until January 6 though :D

  17. K.... A....

    I saw them in Minneapolis in 1977 during the heavy horses concerts! UNFORGETTABLE!

  18. G.... A....

    Unique sound, unique band, unique rock. The Jethro Tull sound stands out amongst them all. Simply brilliant!

  19. j.... c....

    dharma for everybody

  20. R.... N....

    Not a bad try, now check out the real deal with Clive Bunker and hear how it's done. No mm other drummer can do it quite so well

  21. g.... ....

    Great tune, love this.

  22. f.... S....

    Después de 1 minuto 33 segundos podrá usted disfrutar de uno de los mejores grupos y una de sus mejores canciones . Antes de eso, el ego de su líder, es una pena.

  23. A.... H....

    Sick & tired of this Clive Bunker auphoria- Doane Perry equall`s who ever it may be :)

    A.... H....

    Love em all but BB is my favorite.

    A.... H....

    Anders Hafsmo
    You don't know too much about drumming, do you?

  24. j.... ....

    Argh ... I used to hate drum solos at concerts, but I have to admit that the two main Jethro Tull solos, Dharma For One and Thick As A Brick were really great and I actually liked them a lot!

  25. J.... D....

    WOW c'mon ....WOW !!

  26. P.... H....

    That can duplicate you. God bless your pointy little head always the best Ian. Peter j hare

  27. P.... H....

    Ian I am one of 5 on this planet that only took me 40 years thanks a lot for my instruments of torture

  28. P.... G....

    Erudite and witty. Some very special music, here!

  29. M.... G....

    Jethro is the dad I always wanted.

  30. P.... G....

    Your thhunder and your fluite thats great

  31. J.... ....

    Imagine a band today writing a song for their drummer,wouldn’t happen.

  32. b.... ....

    Tull (along with every incarnation of King Crimson and Yes) has always had awesome drummers.

  33. s.... p....

    just so good!

  34. p.... f....

    I think Doane did a great homage of Clive's 1970 Isle of Whight solo, highlighting all of Clive's best fills of that solo including the "head-bend" on the snare at the end! Very tastey! But then again, Jethro Tull has always been a class act regardless of the lineup!

  35. J.... s....

    doan is one of the best drummers ever, the only usa musician played in tull, his didactic vhs is from other world, what a sound this premier and this paiste, amazing

    J.... s....

    Not entirely true Jaime. Mark Craney, who did such splendid work on the A album and tour and a very dear friend of Doane's was also American. Passed away a few years back from a long time.....congenital kidney ailment I think it was.

    J.... s....

    Lol - Perry sounds like a beginner compared to Barriemore Barlow.

  36. J.... C....

    These old dudes rock! And his voice hasn't changed a bit, Ian Anderson must be immortal!

  37. M.... ....

    How can a band be around so long, be so consistently excellent, and be so underrated?

    M.... ....

    As a respected musician friend of mine says "flute has no place in rock music" although I wholeheartedly disagree. That, and Tull's music has always been way above most people's ability to understand and enjoy. In others words, genius is not always appreciated.

  38. j.... ....

    2:46 - the claghorn

  39. D.... Z....

    Questa musiea è senza tempo!

  40. B.... B....

    Just amazing. Beautiful sound mix and dynamic. I am so surprised to enjoy Tull as much as I did when I saw him back in the 70s. GREAT musicians !!!

  41. R.... ....

    Best Jethro Tull Drummer ever was Clive Bunker. Barriemore was good,this guy is good. Clive was Great!

    R.... ....

    Disagree, Barlow was the best drummer Tull ever had. Barlow joining the band was what allowed Tull to start playing more complex stuff. According to Ian, Clive had some trouble keeping time in odd meters and didn't feel comfortable playing them, so Barlow joining opened up more possibilities in terms of what kind of material they could write.

    R.... ....

    @Sandro Kovalev Agree 100%! Barlow was a monster! According to John Bonham, the best Rock Drummer England ever produced!

    R.... ....

    Love Clive, but Barry was the best, one of the greatest ever I have heard live.

  42. A.... S....

    He is crazy

  43. A.... F....

    LOL. Ian looks like Neal Peart in this video...

  44. R.... I....

    Clive bunker the best of the bunch

    R.... I....

    Just behind Barriemore Barlow!

    R.... I....

    @Tom Dobie In all honesty, safely behind Barriemore Barlow.

  45. m.... ....

    amazing

  46. J.... M....

    Who said you are to old for one leg, rock on old timers.

    J.... M....

    Sorry maybe I'm just living in the past.

  47. L.... D....

    His sense of humor has always had a little cringe factor to it....

    L.... D....

    Ian's always felt the need to address his audience as if they were children.

  48. W.... V....

    long instrumental break

  49. R.... ....

    At least this version doesn't have the horrendous improve vocals

  50. L.... V....

    Impresionante versión!!!

  51. r.... m....

    Anche il flauto traverso è Rock!!!!!!

  52. G.... S....

    A musicalidade desses caras me emociona, do caralho Jethro Tull!

  53. R.... ....

    maravilloso; parece imposible que haya tanta sensibilidad en estos músicos. Jethro Tull por siempre.

  54. E.... M....

    i swear myself i'm gonna learn to play my new flute like you master yours Ian!

  55. B.... R....

    spettacolari!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  56. a.... ....

    Refer to The St Cleve Chronicle page 7, Weekend Radio, Radio Three (8.0),
    History of the Claghorn

  57. L.... M....

    great drum solo

  58. r.... s....

    Brilliant

  59. Q.... R....

    muy bueno!

  60. K.... M....

    Disse gutta kan spille. Prog rocken er best

  61. S.... J....

    Tull as 'mad' as ever... Tull fan since 1969

    S.... J....

    Sunrise flute reminds me of Osibisa.

  62. N.... ....

    stupendo!

  63. R.... B....

    Does Ian Andersen play in any key other than d minor....ever?

    R.... B....

    +Richard Bryan out of 300 or so songs I should think the answer to that is.... yes. Whatever else he is doing, he be dealin. As he so often has. Sorry if you don't like it or find his musical vision or prowess limited.

  64. E.... A....

    this is definetely a great song and of course this perfomance was absolutely brilliant

  65. r.... t....

    after 40 years....

    brilliant performance

  66. n.... r....

    I have to watch this at least once a month.

    n.... r....

    I love this song ... it is one of my early faves. There are also quite a few covers of this song online and on CD.

    n.... r....

    @justgivemethetruth they even made a TV Series about it, Dharma & Greg

  67. m.... d....

    brillante!!!!!

  68. C.... A....

    YEAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

  69. J.... S....

    I'm always amazed at how good Ian is - him and his band, of course. I usually see people their age really slowly (or quickly) getting old and these guys are always just the same, meaning always excellent energy and perfect quality.

    J.... S....

    That is because he is always working, always playing and composing. He has got a hell of a lot of wind for an old geezer, but you can tell that from his prattle! ;-)

    J.... S....

    Jorge Simoes it’s their gift to society

  70. C.... C....

    Even though this was 6 years ago, I bet the level of performance is still close/same/better now! Simply superior musicians. The American equivalent of Jethro Tull is (IMHO), Kansas. Vastly different (Violin vs. Flute, etc.), but the level of sheer musicianship is on the same plateau that hardly any major "Classic/Prog Rock" band plays at live, except a very small cadre of bands.

    C.... C....

    CD I totally agree! U are right on about that

    C.... C....

    Better musicians now my ass

  71. A.... O....

    disfruta co que che gusta, un saudo

  72. C.... P....

    They still have it!

  73. J.... ....

    This is one of my favorite Tull songs ... but they did away with the John Evan introduction in favor of that shrill piercing flute intro ... 

    J.... ....

    Fo sho. This version feels a lot more bland than the original.

    J.... ....

    What are you talking about? There is no keyboard introduction in the original studio version. There is also no John Evan on the entire album.

    J.... ....

    They might be referring to the modified version that was done in the Isle of Wight performance

    J.... ....

    @Dillbob1 Yep. This is based on the original version. Opened side 2 of their breakout record in 1968, This Was. Named not for the religious discipline but for their original drummer from back before Jethro Tull, a guy named Richie Dharma. Notable in particular be cause it was Dharma's mother who initiated Ian's now life long fascination with Indian food, curry and the like. Among the things he does his homework on before going out on tour. Where the good curry houses are in this or that town. The one they did a couple years later, 1970, entirely different song save for the Clive Bunker drum solo. Somewhat remarkable that it even maintained the same title.

  74. E.... D....

    Magistral, indeleble.

  75. u.... ....

    Man, he talks like four times faster than he did in the 70s. He must be drinking a lot of coffee or something.

  76. c.... z....

    LEGEND FOREVER

  77. D.... H....

    Only IA could cook this one up...please don't stop now.

  78. B.... ....

    I love Ian.

  79. n.... ....

    We'd love for you to play us a song on the jazz flute.
    This is embarrassing... I'm totally unprepared.

  80. J.... S....

    When Jethro Tull formed in December 1967, I was just 12 - Ian Anderson will be 66 in August 2013. Simply amazing this Musician.

  81. P.... ....

    He's on guitar!

  82. J.... S....

    Quality really sucks on AKG K 271 MKII

  83. r.... ....

    I'm confuse which guy is Jethro Tull?

  84. T.... B....

    EXCELLENT ~~~~ MUST SEE!!!!!

  85. a.... ....

    jethro tull best drummer ever? Clive Bunker.
    Barlow was good, but couldn't stick to a beat for very long

    a.... ....

    Barrie Barlow was much more experimental as a drummer, and was known to overplay (almost like a proto-Neil Peart in that regard). However according to Ian Anderson, it was Barlow's arrival that allowed Tull's music to start getting really complex. Ian says Clive had some trouble keeping time in odd meters, so when Barrie came onboard it allowed Ian to start writing much more progressive stuff. Nothing against Clive, he was great for the earlier more straightforward Tull material. But I don't think he would have been able to handle the drumming on TAAB, Passion Play, or Minstrel in the Gallery.

    a.... ....

    @Sandro Kovalev couldn't agree more!!!

  86. s.... l....

    He is right there! Looks WAY different.

  87. b.... ....

    I never thought I'd hear the claghorn on a live recording, let alone see it played live, let alone have Ian introduce it. Clag on! Apparently Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond invented it? Also, what a particularly good and crisp recording job for this.

  88. M.... C....

    Where's Martin?

    M.... C....

    He's the guy playing guitar.

  89. C.... ....

    wow, still an incredible showman.

  90. L.... D....

    I was watching the Basel gig on a cultural channel on TV last night. I never listened to Jethro Tull until that point and then I got entranced by this oriental-inspired piece. Simply put it, this is a wonderful song!

  91. h.... ....

    best drummer in history

    h.... ....

    You don't know too much about drumming, do you?

  92. B.... ....

    OK, Barriemore Barlow is the best Tull drummer ever, hands down, but Doane Perry is F* great too!

    B.... ....

    BB was the best drummer in the studio, but listening to this performance amongst others, it dawns on me that DP might have been the better live drummer.

    B.... ....

    While BB is a really good drummer,he couldn't touch Clive Bunker. Clive was a madman on the drums,playing with speed,power and finesse. He was almost as technically proficient as Carl Palmer. I saw them both in 71. This guy did a great job,but he was definitely no Clive Bunker....

    B.... ....

    No, he isn't, Doane is very, very good, but Barlowe is in a league of his own - and the stuff he played is far more difficult than Tull's current playlist. BB is the best drummer this country has ever produced.

    B.... ....

    Bunker and Barlow are my votes.....Both were great and perfect for the material they were playing...guys that have come and gone since MAY have been "technically" more proficient....but the energy that those two guys had, as well as their own proficiency simply make them the two best, (Of course, that's simply my subjective opinion, and if others disagree...well, that's what makes music so great :-) ).

    @nordicoooo Was definitely Clive Bunker
