Reseña
Este álbum de 1989 es un apasionado homenaje de Elton John a la música soul y R&B de los años 60 y 70 que tanto lo había influenciado. Por lo tanto, 'Sleeping with the Past' es una obra que recrea con una maestría y un cariño extraordinarios el sonido de sellos como Motown y Stax. De hecho, es uno de sus discos más coherentes y aclamados de esa década, una joya en la discografía de Elton John.
En consecuencia, la producción del álbum es un prodigio de la recreación sonora. Las canciones están llenas de líneas de bajo funk, secciones de viento y los coros característicos de la música soul. Como resultado, el disco suena a la vez retro y atemporal.
Además, el álbum contiene dos de sus sencillos más exitosos de la época. "Sacrifice" es una de sus baladas más bellas y desgarradoras, y se convirtió en su primer número uno en solitario en el Reino Unido. Por otro lado, "Healing Hands" es un enérgico tema de soul con un espíritu de góspel.
En definitiva, 'Sleeping with the Past' es un trabajo excepcional, una obra de amor a la música negra que no solo le dio un enorme éxito, sino que también demostró, una vez más, su increíble versatilidad y su profundo conocimiento de la historia de la música.

[X]letra de Durban Deep
I won't see you 'till Christmas
I breathe coal dust, I get blisters
But the foreman he don't worry
He say work boy there's no hurry
Don't that big red sun
Look a lot like fire
When you come out of the ground
After forty eight hours
Going down down down down down
Going down in Durban deep
Going down down down down down
There's no mercy in my sleep
I just hear that drill and hammer
I feel the killing heat
Going two miles down to the heart
Of Durban deep
I was born on amen corner
I pound rock face, I get lonely
But my family they go hungry
Sill the boss man he call us lazy
Don't the old blue heaven
Look a lot like your eyes
When you're blinded by the brightness
Of the Transvaal sky - Healing HandsVer letra 4:23
[X]letra de Healing Hands
I never dreamed I could cry so hard
That ain't like a man
I could fly like a bird some days
Had a place where I could land
I could have sworn we were all locked in
Ain't that what you said
I never knew it could hurt so bad
When the power of love is dead
But giving into the nighttime
Ain't no cure for the pain
You gotta wade into the water
You gotta learn to live again
And reach out for her healing hands
Reach out for her healing hands
There's a light, where the darkness ends
Touch me now and let me see again
Rock me now in your gentle healing hands
I never knew love like poison
That burned like a fire
All I ever wanted was a reason
To drown in your eyes
I never knew sleep so restless
Empty arms so cold
That's not the way it's supposed to be
It ain't the spell that I was sold - Whispers 5:30
- Club At The End Of The StreetVer letra 4:51
[X]letra de Club At The End Of The Street
When the shades are drawn
And the light of the moon is banned
And the stars up above
Walk the heavens hand in hand
There's a shady place
At the end of the working day
Where young lovers go
And this hot little trio plays
That's where we meet
That's where we meet
Me and you rendezvous
In the club at the end of the street
Oooh where we meet
Oooh where we meet
Me and you rendezvous
In the club at the end of the street
From the alleyways
Where the catwalks gently sway
You hear the sound of Otis
And the voice of Marvin Gaye
In this smoky room
There's a jukebox plays all night
And we can dance real close
Beneath the pulse of a neon light
There's a downtown smell of cooking
From the flame on an open grill
There's a sax and a big bass pumping
Lord have mercy
You can't sit still
You can't sit still - Sleeping With The Past 4:59
- Stone's Throw From Hurtin' 4:56
- Sacrifice 5:07
- I Never Knew Her NameVer letra 3:32
[X]letra de I Never Knew Her Name
Well she swept through the church
Like a sweet Sunday prayer
While the choir sang Son of Heaven
And the groom just walked on air
I was killing time with Jesus
When the wedding bells began
And I saw the most beautiful woman
Getting married to a handsome man
And she walked like a mystery
And she passed like summer rain
And she said I do like an angel
But I never knew her name
Oh the congregation gathered
But in darkness I remained
In love with the bride of a handsome man
But I never knew her name
In the shadow of the holy
Oh I heard my tell-tale heart
Whisper words that never reached her
As her vows were made at last
Oh the preacher with his blessing
Pronounced them man and wife
And I saw the most beautiful woman
Make a promise to be kept for life - Amazes MeVer letra 4:40
[X]letra de Amazes Me
You're a cool little one
My dark southern breeze
Sweeps through my fingers
And it amazes me
Dixie shadowland
Your envy shelters me
Lay down your burden
Mystery of ebony
And it amazes me
Oh it amazes me
Maybe the heat babe could be this tune
It amazes me
It amazes me
What drives me crazy is that big fat yellow moon
Look up that pale light
Well she's waking the trees
I'm drifting in your hoodoo
And it amazes me
That magnolia state
Got a hold on me
I got no blues to preach
Just Mississippi company
Ain't no magic potion
No gri-gri on her side
She's bound to my salvation
Sweet little mama
Take me down by the river tonight
And it amazes me - Blue AvenueVer letra 4:23
[X]letra de Blue Avenue
I gotta quit this habit
It's like some drug for you
You've been my sweet sweet addict
I've been your little white boy blue
You've got the same obsession
We ain't no cat and mouse
You linger on my lips like confession
You laid the traps in this house
And it's no use each way we lose
You and me at the crossroads of Blue Avenue
Hit and run hearts collide here
True love passes through
Looks like we've got a wreck babe
Up on Blue Avenue
Up on Blue Avenue
Blue Avenue
Two hearts get entangled
Dirty minds they go to town
Everyone's got an angle
Little lies get spread around
Let them say what they want
You and me we already knew
Takes more than hocus pocus babe
To save you from Blue Avenue - Dancing In The End ZoneVer letra
[X]letra de Dancing In The End Zone
Have you ever had a good time turn bad
When the leaves turn brown
And the shattered glass just splinters
It's days like this that you can't resist
A long tall drink
And a big yellow sun in the winter
And you can go dancing
You can go dancing
You can go dancing
Dancing in the end zone
And you can go dancing
You can go dancing
You can go dancing
Dancing in the end zone
Did you ever pray you could stay away
Company excluded
From the curse of the family circle
In a big round room on the edge of the moon
There's a shooting star
In a race for the final hurdle
You can go dancing
You can go dancing
You can go dancing
Dancing in the end zone
And you can go dancing
You can go dancing
You can go dancing
Dancing in the end zone
No need to worry, no need to worry
No need to worry when you dance alone
You already made it, you already made it
When you're dancing in the end zone
You can go dancing
You can go dancing
You can go dancing
Dancing in the end zone
You can go dancing
You can go dancing
You can go dancing
Dancing in the end zone
You can go dancing
In the end zone
You can go dancing
In the end zone
You can go dancing
You can go dancing in the end zone
You can go dancing
You can go dancing in the end zone
You can go dancing
You can go dancing in the end zone - Love Is A Cannibal
