"Living in the Past" is Jethro Tull's highest-charting single on the US Billboard and UK Singles charts. It first appeared as a 1969 single which had been recorded for their album Stand Up; however, it saw album release on Living in the Past in 1972.
One of the most famous aspects of this song is its nonstandard time signature: It uses 5/4. This puts it in the category of "quintuple meter," where there's five beats per measure. If you need some more familiar context, try singing the lyrics to "Living in the Past" to the tune from the theme from the TV show Mission: Impossible. But not too loud, lest the whole office hear you. Maybe the most famous example of this unusual time signature is "Take Five" by the Dave Brubeck Quartet.   Ian Anderson is one of the most intellectual popular artists in rock, and also one with a sly sense of humor . So "Living in the Past" is clearly poking fun at somebody, being about wishing to live in a peaceful time before a war. But is it directed at the fighters ("Now there's revolution, but they don't know what they're fighting."), or at the ones who chose to close their eyes to the fighting? We'll leave it to the jury. Here's what Ian told us: "Two or three times I have in the early days tried to write something that was deliberately in a more pop context. 'Living in the Past' was written specifically as a single, albeit a little bit of an oddball song, being in 5/4 time signature, it wasn't obviously the choice of a listening public to have a complex time signature. But I tried to work within that framework of doing something that set out with a non-common time signature, but would have some catchy appeal because of the musical rhymes and the title, and that succeeded."
Album Notes Jethro Tull: Ian Anderson (vocals, acoustic & 12-string guitars, mandolin, violin, balalaika, flute, whistle, Hammond organ); Martin Barre (acoustic & electric guitars, recorder, percussion, background vocals); Mick Abrahams (electric guitar); John Evan (piano, harpsichord, Celeste, Hammond organ, Mellotron, percussion, background vocals); Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond (recorder, bass, background vocals); Glenn Cornick (Hammond organ, bass); Clive Bunker (glockenspiel, drums, percussion, background vocals); Barriemore Barlow (drums, percussion).Producers: Jethro Tull, Ian Anderson, Terry Ellis.Recorded between July 1968 and May 1971.With hit albums like BENEFIT and AQUALUNG (as well as a spectacular live show), Jethro Tull became one of rock's most popular bands by the early '70s. While many were quick to categorize its music as prog-rock (? la Yes, Genesis, etc.), Tull also dabbled in folk, jazz, heavy metal, and blues. After the K161 success of the band's previous two albums, Chrysalis Records issued the double album LIVING IN THE PAST, a mix of hits, important album tracks, single/EP-only material, and previously unreleased live tracks.As longtime fans know, and as LIVING IN THE PAST makes clear, Jethro Tull produced a wealth of great songs outside of their hits. The best-known song in this collection is undoubtedly the title track, while "Song for Jeffrey," "Witches Promise," and "Hymn 43" also remain classic rock radio staples. There are also numerous lesser-known highlights, many of which were compiled from singles and EPs and are therefore otherwise difficult to obtain. LIVING IN THE PAST, then, is a treasure trove for Tull fans, and a fine place for the uninitiated to start exploring this ambitious band.
