What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



His candle burned out long, but his legend never will. Looks like album #19 by my count. Elton reached his prime years before this release, but he still managed to throw in some gems. Another Taupin reunion for this one, which never hurt back then. Plus the original band is back. I think this one is better than the previous few. It reached #25 on the U.S. charts and #7 in the U.K. where Elton always scored better, even in the early years. Stupid americans! Three singles came off of here, with the highest charting here being my favorite at #4. The other two I don't care for, Kiss The Bride and I'm Still Standing.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Crystal

Best Track - I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues

Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me
I could honestly say
That things can only get better

And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long
Before you and me run
To the place in our hearts
Where we hide

And I guess that's why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why
They call it the blues

Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second
Without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man

Without me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself

And I guess that's why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why
They call it the blues

Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself

And I guess that's why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why
They call it the blues
