Álbum Elton John - Canciones
Elton John
Reseña
Con su segundo álbum, el homónimo Elton John, de 1970, el artista británico entrega la obra que lo lanzó al estrellato internacional. Por lo tanto, aunque no es su debut, es el disco que estableció su sonido característico y que contiene su primera gran obra maestra. De hecho, este trabajo es la quintaesencia de su primera etapa como cantautor.
En consecuencia, el sonido del álbum es una exquisita mezcla de pop, rock y soul, todo ello envuelto en los espectaculares y cinematográficos arreglos de cuerda de Paul Buckmaster. La producción de Gus Dudgeon es impecable y le da al disco una profundidad y una elegancia extraordinarias.
Además, el álbum se abre con la canción que lo cambió todo: "Your Song". Esta balada, de una belleza y una sencillez desarmantes, es una de las canciones de amor más perfectas jamás escritas. Su éxito catapultó a Elton John a la fama a ambos lados del Atlántico. Por otro lado, el disco también incluye joyas como "Take Me to the Pilot".
En definitiva, su álbum homónimo es una obra maestra, el sonido de un artista que ha encontrado su voz y que está a punto de convertirse en una de las mayores leyendas de la música. Es, en resumen, el inicio de todo.

[X]letra de I Need You To Turn To
You're not a ship to carry my life
You are nailed to my love in many lonely nights
I've strayed from the cottages and found myself here
For I need your love your love protects my fears
And I wonder sometimes and I know I'm unkind
But I need you to turn to when I act so blind
And I need you to turn to when I lose control
You're my guardian angel who keeps out the cold
Did you paint your smile on, well I said I knew
That my reason for living was for loving you
We're related in feeling but you're high above
You're pure and you're gentle with the grace of a dove - Take Me To The Pilot 3:47
- No Shoe String On Louise
- First Episode At HientonVer letra 4:49
[X]letra de First Episode At Hienton
I was one as you were one
And we were two so much in love forever
I loved the white socks that you wore
But you don't wear white socks no more, now you're a woman
I joked about your turned-up nose
And criticized your school girl clothes
But would I then have paced these roads to love you
For seasons come and seasons go
Bring forth the rain the sun and snow
Make Valerie a woman
And Valerie is lonely
No more to roam on the snow hills of Hienton
Undecided with the guardians of the older generation
A doormat was a sign of welcome
In the winter months to come
And in the summer laughing
Through the castle ruins we'd run
For the quadrangle sang to the sun
And the grace of our feeling
And the candle burned low as we talked of the future
Underneath the ceiling
There were tears in the sky
And the clouds in your eyes were just cover
For your thighs were the cushions
Of my love and yours for each other
The songs still are sung
It was fun to be young
But please don't be sad where 'ere you are
I am who I am
You are who you are
Now Valerie's a woman
Now Valerie's a woman
Now Valerie's a woman - Sixty Years On 4:36
- Border SongVer letra 3:22
[X]letra de Border Song
Holy Moses I have been removed
I have seen the specter he has been here too
Distant cousin from down the line
Brand of people who ain't my kind
Holy Moses I have been removed
Holy Moses I have been deceived
Now the wind has changed direction and I'll have to leave
Won't you please excuse my frankness but it's not my cup of tea
Holy Moses I have been deceived
I'm going back to the border
Where my affairs, my affairs ain't abused
I can't take any more bad water
I've been poisoned from my head down to my shoes
Holy Moses I have been deceived
Holy Moses let us live in peace
Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease
There's a man over there what's his color I don't care
He's my brother let us live in peace
He's my brother let us live in peace
He's my brother let us live in peace - The Greatest Discovery 4:13
- The Cage 3:31
- The King Must Die 5:23
- Bad Side Of The MoonVer letra 3:15
[X]letra de Bad Side Of The Moon
It seems as though I've lived my life
On the bad side of the moon
To stir your dregs in sickness still
Without the rustic spoon
Common people live with me
Where the light has never shone
And the hermits flock like hummingbirds
To speak in a foreign tongue
I'm a light world away
From the people who make me stay
Sitting on the bad side of the moon
There ain't no need for watchdogs here
To justify our ways
We live our life in manacles
The main cause of our stay
Exiled here from other worlds
My sentence comes too soon
Why should I be made to pay
On the bad side of the moon - Grey SealVer letra 3:36
[X]letra de Grey Seal
Why's it never light on my lawn
Why does it rain and never say good-day to the new-born
On the big screen they showed us the sun
But not as bright in life as the real one
It's never quite the same as the real one
And tell me grey seal
How does it feel
To be so wise
To see through eyes
That only see what's real
Tell me grey seal
I never learned why meteors were formed
I only farmed in schools that were so warn and torn
If anyone can cry then so can I
I read books and draw life from the eye
All my life is drawings from the eye
Your mission bells were wrought by ancient men
The roots were formed by twisted roots
Your roots were twisted then
I was re-born before all life could die
The Phoenix bird will leave this world to fly
If the Phoenix bird can fly then so can I - Rock N Roll Madonna 4:52
