Álbum Duets de Elton John - Canciones

Duets

Reseña
El álbum Duets, de 1993, es un proyecto especial en el que Elton John celebra su amor por la colaboración, uniendo su voz a la de un impresionante elenco de leyendas y de estrellas del momento. Por consiguiente, este trabajo es una ecléctica colección de canciones que abarca una gran variedad de estilos. De hecho, es un testimonio de su inmenso respeto y admiración por otros músicos.
Por lo tanto, el disco es un desfile de colaboraciones de lujo. Elton John canta con artistas de la talla de George Michael en una memorable versión de "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", k.d. lang, Eric Clapton, Sting o la diva del R&B Gladys Knight.
Como resultado, el álbum es muy variado, con momentos que van desde el góspel hasta el rock, pasando por el soul y la balada pop. El mayor éxito del disco fue su dueto con la cantante Kiki Dee en "True Love", un eco de su anterior colaboración en "Don't Go Breaking My Heart".
En resumen, 'Duets' es una celebración de la amistad y de la música, un trabajo que, aunque irregular, contiene momentos de una gran belleza y demuestra la increíble generosidad de un artista universal.

[X]letra de If You Were Me
If you were me
And I was you
If you had to play my part out
What would you do
Two crazy stories
Two different views
If you were me
And I was you
If you were me
And I was you
What kind of crazy things
Would I have to do
Who likes to party
Who stays at home
If you were me
And I was you
Never like strangers
Though never the same
Two circus sideshows
That laughed in the rain
You stayed with the full moon
You searched for the stars
Thank God in His heaven

[X]letra de Go On and On
On and On
On and On
She broke my heart, he hurt me too
That's something that only unworthy souls do
They said goodbye, we say hello
An introduction for a perfect love to grow
Let's stop thinking about the past
And start thinking about the future
So that love can go on and on
Let's stop thinking about the past
And start thinking about the future
So that love can go on and on
She said she'd stay, he said that too
So sad when you find out your love has found a new
She made me cry, he made me weep
But life has love in store for us that's ooh so sweet
On and On (love keeps going on)
On and On (they've got the whole of life)
On and On (love keeps going on)
On and
It's time to say goodbye to crying eyes and broken dreams
And get back to the joy that to each other we will bring
That starts from summer love to last through autumn, winter, spring
Our hearts will sing forever, loveComposición: Stevie WonderMezclas: Van ArdenMúsicos invitados: Kimberly Brewer (Backing Vocals), Lynne Fiddmont (Backing Vocals), Derrick Perkins (Programmed By), Stevie Wonder (Instruments) - Don't Go Breaking My Heart 4:58

[X]letra de Born To Lose
Born to lose
I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose
And now I'm losing you
Born to lose
Oh it seems so hard to bear
When I wake and find that you're not there
Ooh you've grown tired and now you say we're through
I'm born to lose
And now I'm losing you
Born to lose
I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose
And now I'm losing you
Born to lose
And now Elton I'm losing youComposición: Ted DaffanMezclas: Bill SchneeMúsicos invitados: Ray Brown (Bass), John Guerin (Drums), Dean Parks (Guitar), Dean Parks (Lap Steel Guitar), Jim Cox (Piano), Jim Cox (Organ), Plas Johnson (Saxophone [Solo]) - Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me 5:46

[X]letra de Duets For One
Look at you, could I have been so foolish and so green
A face that smiled at every passing scene
Look at you, you're lost behind the web of woven time
When each emotion pinball in your mind
Look at me, I'm happy now I see your face and smile
I was the judge and jury at your trial
Look at me, I know the road ahead will twist and turn
Now I have the time to stand and learn
That you and I have come so far
With a shaken faith
From the pit of a broken heart
To a feeling great
Feel like life has just begun
No more singing duets for one
I hold your picture here beside my bed
You had a party raging in your head
Look at me, I look at you with vacancy and hurt
And here today all I can do is learn
Look at me, I'm happy now I see your face and smile
I was the judge and jury at your trial
Look at me, I know the road ahead will twist and turn
Now I have the time to stand and learn
I have this picture of me looking at you
Looking at me
And I would like to say
Goodbye sweet memoryComposición: Chris Difford, Elton JohnMúsicos invitados: Beverley Skeete (Backing Vocals), Candy McKenzie (Backing Vocals), Precious Wilson (Backing Vocals), Malcolm Foster (Bass), Chuck Sabo (Drums), Chris Rea (Guitar), Dean Parks (Guitar), Jamie Perkins (Keyboards), Mark Taylor (Keyboards), Martin Ditcham (Percussion)
