Greetings!

For  40 years I have been a critical follower of Jethro Tull. I love this band both for their music, their lyrics and for the innovative, original and independent way their eclectic music has evolved over the years, taking the best out of all kinds of musical traditions and adding personal taste and creativity to it.

This site is my "labour of love", my personal tribute to Jethro Tull, the band that in their 40-year existence turned out to be a musical love for life and to their music and lyrics. One of the things that really intrigue me is that both music and lyrics of this fabulous band transcend any genre or style.

The main subject of this site is: the lyrics written by Ian Anderson, the creative foreman of Jethro Tull. It contains all the songs written between 1968 and 2003, both on the group-albums and Ian's solo-albums as well.

Most of these lyrics are complex and not at all easy to understand. In the poetic sense, I find them beautiful and imaginative. With the help of friends-in-Tull all over the world I tried to make these lyrics more comprehensible (not that I understand or know all of it myself, mind you!). Hence the title of this site: Cup Of Wonder.

This site is intended as a platform for studying, discussing and most of all enjoying the lyrics of our songsmith and "singer of these ageless times", Ian Anderson.
