BROADSWORD" is the first song on side two of Jethro Tull's 14th, studio album "The Broadsword and the Beast" The first side of the album is titled "Beastie", and the second side is titled "Broadsword". It mixes electronic sound provided by keyboardist Peter-John Vettese (a characteristic that would further be explored on the next album Under Wraps) with acoustic instruments. The album is a cross between the synthesiser sound of the 1980s and the folk-influenced style that Tull had in the previous decade.

Anyone expecting a fantasy or heavy metal album was due for a disappointment, however, for most of the songs that have any identifiable references are about topical politics more than anything else.

Anderson observes the entropy of spirit that’s got individuals and nations in its icy grip, and, with a noble tilt to his head, he unsheathes his excalibur and stalks off to slay the beast that visits this plague upon the motherland. Though it’s hard to believe this is happening in 1982, there is something comfortingly antiquarian about The Broadsword and the Beast.
