This! He's still a marmite choice, but certainly not a 'weak' singerI thought he was okay on the recordings but a bit creepy in the videos. I didn't really "get" it until I saw them live - then I understood

Out of the Silent Planet
Iron Maiden - The Educated Fool
One of my favorites from the album. And maybe I'm the only one, but I really like the production of the album.
Btw, the song was dropped from the set on the last 3 shows from VXI tour and unfortunately we don't have a pro-shot recording of it.

This song's structure is like a small movie.
The way I understand it, Locomotive Breath is a close up plan to 2 people, "his woman and his best friend", having fun in bed.
Then progressively to long shot from high and above, the locomotive becomes his life getting out of control for him the "all time loser" seeing his children jumping at the stations and the train couldn't slow down..
A masterpiece!
One of Tull's finest, both lyrically & musically. Ian Anderson is a huge talent.
In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all-time loser
Headlong to his death
Oh, he feels the piston scraping
Steam breaking on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train it won't stop
Oh no way to slow down
He sees his children jumping off
At the stations one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed and having fun
Oh, he's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going
No way to slow down
Hey
He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls
Oh, he picks up Gideons bible
Open at page one
I think God he stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down

Yeah, I'm a huge Within Temptation fan(obviously) and I liked this. Thanks for posting. Just hope for their next output that there aren't any duets with other singers unless it's Tarja or Floor Jannsen. Anneke Van Giersbergen would be ok also
That song with Dave Pirner, The Whole World Is Watching came across as sappy. Hated it. Hence my posting the acoustic version
