per Ian Anderson from Heavy Horses 40th Anniversary Set: New Shoes Edition "very much a Scottish song. The chorus invites you to \'Come with me to The Winged Isle\' which is the Isle of Skye and it was written in the context of the wilds ( think wilderness) of that area of Scotland." From my perspective, I see this tune as the anthesis of Velvet Green from Songs from the Wood in that the characters meeting in Velvet Green have no cares of their esteem, their reputation, and the consequences of August\'s thrills 9 months later in April. Here in Acres Wild, I sense a breathe of fresh air, innocence, and invitation of love in all \'good places\'. You sense a breeze and an invitation to experience something more pure and natural \'where the dance of ages is playing still\'.
