Reseña
"Empty Sky" es el título del primer álbum en la discografía de Elton John. Fue lanzado al mercado el 6 de junio de 1969 en Reino Unido, pero hubo que esperar varios años hasta que el disco fuera estrenado en Estados Unidos (13 de enero de 1975).
Contó con la producción del británico Steve Brown, amigo personal del cantante, al igual que la mayoría de los músicos que participaron en la grabación.
En varias de las canciones podemos escuchar a Elton John interpretar el clavicémbalo.
El tema más conocido del álbum fue el titulado "Skyline Pigeon", la única canción de este disco que el cantante sigue interpretando con cierta frecuencia en sus actuaciones en directo y que fue lanzada originalmente por Guy Darrell y Roger James Cooke simultáneamente como sencillo en agosto de 1968.
Se trata de una balada compuesta e interpretada por el propio Elton John, con letras escritas por Bernie Taupin. Es el único tema del álbum que presenta al músico sin acompañamiento de ningún tipo, tocando el clavicémbalo y el órgano.

[X]letra de Empty Sky
I'm not a rat to be spat on locked up in this room
Those bars that look towards the sun at night look towards the moon
Everyday the swallows play in the clouds of love
Make me wish that I had wings take me high above
And I looked high and saw the empty sky
If I could only, I could only fly
I'd drift with them in endless space
But no man flies from this place
At night I lay upon my bench and stare towards the stars
The cold night air comes creeping in and home seems oh so far
If only I could swing upon those twinkling dots above
I'd look down from the heavens upon the ones I love
Hey the lucky locket hangs around your precious neck
Some luck I ever got with you and I wouldn't like to bet
That sooner or later you'll own just one half of this land
By shining your eyes on the wealth of every man
Just send up my love ain't seen nothing but tears
Now I've got myself in this room for years
I don't see no one, I never see anyone - Val-Hala 4:12
- Western Ford Gateway 3:16
- Hymn 2000Ver letra 4:29
[X]letra de Hymn 2000
She chose the soft center
And took it to bed with her mother
And the ideal confusion
Was just an illusion
To gain further news of her brother
And the comfort of mother
Was just an appeal for protection
For the cat from next door
Was found later at four
In surgical dissection
And I don't want to be
The son of any freak
Who for a chocolate center
Can take you off the street
For soon they'll plough the desert
And God knows where I'll be
Collecting submarine numbers
On the main street of the sea
The Vicar is thicker
And I just can't see through to him
For his cardinal sings
A collection of hymns
And a collection of coins is made after
And who wrote the Bible
Was it Judas or Pilate
Well one cleans his hands
While the other one hangs
But still I continue to stand - Lady What's Tomorrow 3:10
- Sails 3:45
- The Scaffold 3:18
- Skyline Pigeon 3:37
- Gulliver/It's Hay Chewed/Reprise 6:59
- Lady Samantha 3:02
- All Across The HavensVer letra 2:53

Lyrics by bernie taupin
Released as a uk b-side in january, 1969
The sister of sunlight
Comes to my lonely life
Bearing the crosses I hung
I hung on my lonely wife
And the anchor told me
If I prayed by the river
That the sweet sound of water
Would always go with her
All across the havens to the waterfall
They told me I would meet her there
Inside those icy walls
But how on earth in this universe
Can they forgive me of my pains
For all across the havens
I must stumble locked in chains
Then the mother of mercy
Showed me her stable
And told me you would be safe
Safe in her cradle
And the waterfall opened
And the water withdrew
Leaving me standing
On a road leading through - It's Me That You Need 4:04
- Just Like Strange Rain 3:43
