Álbum Goodbye Yellow Brick Road de Elton John - Canciones
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Reseña
El monumental doble álbum Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, de 1973, es la obra maestra absoluta de Elton John y uno de los discos más importantes y queridos de la historia del rock. Este trabajo, de hecho, es la culminación de su etapa de mayor creatividad y éxito, una colección de canciones de una ambición, una diversidad y una calidad extraordinarias. Por lo tanto, es el sonido de un artista en la cima del mundo, un genio en estado de gracia.
En consecuencia, el formato de álbum doble le permite a la pareja compositora de Elton John y Bernie Taupin explorar un abanico de estilos sin precedentes. Por un lado, encontramos el glam rock más enérgico en himnos como "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting". Por otro, el pop con influencias caribeñas de "Jamaica Jerk-Off". Y, además, el rock de estadios de "All the Girls Love Alice".
Como resultado, el álbum es un viaje fascinante a través de diferentes paisajes sonoros, pero con una coherencia asombrosa. La producción de Gus Dudgeon es espectacular, y la banda que acompaña a Elton John suena más potente y cohesionada que nunca. Las letras de Taupin, por su parte, son una colección de viñetas cinematográficas sobre la fama, la nostalgia y la pérdida de la inocencia.
Sin embargo, es la increíble calidad de las canciones lo que eleva a este disco a la categoría de leyenda. La canción que le da título, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", es una de las baladas más bellas y épicas jamás escritas. "Candle in the Wind", su homenaje original a Marilyn Monroe, es un clásico inmortal. Y, finalmente, "Bennie and the Jets" es una genialidad de R&B y glam rock que se convirtió en un éxito masivo.
El impacto del álbum fue un fenómeno global, consolidando a Elton John como la mayor estrella del pop del planeta. En definitiva, 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' es una obra de arte total, un disco que lo tiene todo: grandes éxitos, profundidad artística y una ambición desbordante. Es, en resumen, el testamento de un genio en su momento de mayor inspiración.

[X]letra de Candle In The Wind
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did - Bennie And The JetsVer letra
[X]letra de Bennie And The Jets
Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hitting something
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
You're gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But they're so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Bennie and the Jets
Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong - Goodbye Yellow Brick RoadVer letra 3:14
[X]letra de Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues
So goodbye yellow brick road where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
What do you think you'll do then?
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics to set you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
So goodbye yellow brick road where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road - This Song Has No Title 2:23
- Grey SealVer letra 3:58
[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 - Jamaica Jerk-Off

- Dirty Little GirlVer letra 5:01
[X]letra de Dirty Little Girl
I've seen a lot of women who haven't had much luck
I've seen you looking like you've been run down by a truck
That ain't nice to say sometimes I guess I'm really hard
But I'm gonna put buckshots in your pants if you step into my yard
When I watch the police come by and move you on
Well I sometimes wonder what's beneath the mess you've become
Well you may have been a pioneer in the trade of women's wear
But all you got was a mop up job washing other people's stairs
I'm gonna tell the world, you're a dirty little girl
Someone grab that bitch by the ears
Rub her down scrub her back
And turn her inside out
'Cause I bet she hasn't had a bath in years
Here's my own belief about all the dirty girls
That you have to clean the oyster to find the pearl
And like rags that belong to you I belong to myself
So don't show up around here till your social worker's helped - All The Girls Love AliceVer letra
[X]letra de All The Girls Love Alice
Raised to be a lady by the golden rule
Alice was the spawn of a public school
With a double barrel name in the back of her brain
And a simple case of Mummy-doesn't-love-me blues
Reality it seems was just a dream
She couldn't get it on with the boys on the scene
But what do you expect from a chick who's just sixteen
And hey, hey, hey, you know what I mean
All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice they say
Come over and see me
Come over and please me
Alice it's my turn today
All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice they say
If I give you my number
Will you promise to call me
Wait till my husband's away
Poor little darling with a chip out of her heart
It's like acting in a movie when you got the wrong part
Getting your kicks in another girl's bed
And it was only last Tuesday they found you in the subway dead
And who could you call your friends down in Soho
One or two middle-aged dykes in a Go-Go
And what do you expect from a sixteen year old yo-yo
And hey, hey, hey, oh don't you know - Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock 'N Roll)

[X]letra de Harmony
Hello, baby hello
Haven't seen your face for a while
Have you quit doing time for me
Or are you still the same spoiled child
Hello, I said hello
Is this the only place you thought to go
Am I the only man you ever had
Or am I just the last surviving friend that you know
Harmony and me
We're pretty good company
Looking for an island
In our boat upon the sea
Harmony, gee I really love you
And I want to love you forever
And dream of the never, never, never leaving harmony
Hello, baby hello
Open up your heart and let your feelings flow
You're not unlucky knowing me
Keeping the speed real slow
In any case I set my own pace
By stealing the show, say hello, hello
