Álbum Breaking Hearts de Elton John - Canciones
Breaking Hearts
Reseña
El álbum de 1984, 'Breaking Hearts', es una sólida continuación del exitoso regreso que supuso 'Too Low for Zero'. Este trabajo es, por tanto, un pilar del sonido de los 80 en la discografía de Elton John. De hecho, en este disco, el artista vuelve a colaborar con su banda clásica de los 70 y, por supuesto, con el letrista Bernie Taupin.
En consecuencia, el sonido del álbum es una enérgica mezcla de piano-rock y synth-pop, muy característica de la época. La producción es brillante y está perfectamente orientada a la radio y a los grandes estadios. Como resultado, el disco es de una escucha muy agradable y está repleto de potenciales éxitos.
Además, el álbum contiene la que sería una de sus canciones más famosas de la década: la irresistible "Sad Songs (Say So Much)". Este tema, con su estribillo universal, se convirtió en un éxito en todo el mundo. Por otro lado, la balada "Passengers" también tuvo una buena acogida.
En definitiva, 'Breaking Hearts' es un trabajo que consolida el renacimiento de Elton John en los 80, un disco lleno de energía y de grandes canciones que demuestran su increíble capacidad para seguir creando éxitos.

[X]letra de In Neon
Lipstick and lashes, the traces of stardom
Lit up on a billboard so everyone sees them in neon
Behind the counter she stares out the window
Up at the billboard that's like a reminder in neon
She hates how she feels but she hangs like a mirror
Maybe a stranger could walk in and see her in neon
For two cents of danger she'd trust anybody
She'd smoke like a gun if it meant she might wind up
In neon the dreams in the light of a promise that dies
A shimmering city, a glimmer of hope and a lie
In neon the name's gone there's no reason why anymore
Trust them and wind up alone behind a locked door
In neon, in neon
Pictures and patterns, the touches of glamour
Cut into a fashion that flashes above them in neon
A hot cup of coffee held in her fingers
A perfect complexion that lingers above her in neon
She hates how she feels but she hangs like a mirror
Maybe a stranger could walk in and see her in neon
For a shot at the title, she'd slip into something
She'd smoulder like ashes if it meant she might wind up in neon
In neon - Burning BuildingsVer letra
[X]letra de Burning Buildings
It used to be a sweet sensation
No price too high for love
Now I pay for this bitter taste
And the price is not enough
Such cruel sport for your kicks
Such hard knocks on my heart
How long before the pain ends
Tell me where living starts
And lovers leap off burning buildings
Waking up on a sky high wire
Desperation leaves us clinging
On the edge of a house on fire
Lovers leap off burning buildings
Live our life on borrowed time
Every flame that ever moved you
Touched your lips but never mine
Lovers leap off burning buildings
No room for conversation
Cold stares and angry words
Fall in pieces from our faces
We read "do not disturb"
Some lovers just go hungry
Others beg for just a bite
You use me under pressure
To whet your appetite - Did He Shoot Her?Ver letra
[X]letra de Did He Shoot Her?
Sling your hook in with him baby
He's a real sharp-shooter now
If he's out there hiding in the tall grass
Tell him I said he was a coward
This ain't any old western honey
It's the twentieth century now
But if he thinks he's some kind of tough cowboy
And he's hurt her then I want to know how
Did he shoot her with his compromise
Like a heart attack he can paralyse
Or did he hang her in a noose
On the telephone line
Did he shoot her with a 45
Did he leave his mark right between her eyes
Oh did he shoot that girl
That used to be mine
Tell him I'm ready any time he chooses
The pay-off for the things, for the things he's done
He ain't messing with no two-bit bandit
Armed with a couple of guns
If he wants to see it as a two reel movie
He's living in the head of someone else
But better take him down and dust him honey
I want to hear the truth for myself
Did he shoot her
Did he shoot her - Sad Songs (Say So Much)
