Locomotive Breath

"Locomotive Breath" is a song by British progressive rock band Jethro Tull from their 1971 album, Aqualung. Written as a comment on population growth, "Locomotive Breath" was meant to replicate the chugging rhythm of a train. In addition to its release on Aqualung, "Locomotive Breath" saw two different single releases and has been a live favourite. It is one of Jethro Tull's best-known songs.
