Álbum The Captain and the Kid de Elton John - Canciones
The Captain and the Kid
Reseña
El álbum The Captain and the Kid, de 2006, es la secuela conceptual de su legendario 'Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy'. Por consiguiente, en este trabajo, Elton John (The Captain) y Bernie Taupin (The Kid) continúan narrando su historia autobiográfica, esta vez abarcando sus treinta años de carrera desde que alcanzaron la fama. De hecho, es un disco de una gran carga nostálgica y emocional.
Por lo tanto, el sonido del álbum es un regreso a sus raíces de los años 70. La producción es orgánica y se apoya en el piano, las guitarras y los arreglos de cuerda, buscando recrear la magia de su época dorada. Como resultado, es uno de sus discos más aclamados de su etapa de madurez.
Además, las letras de Taupin son una reflexión sobre la amistad, el paso del tiempo y las luces y las sombras de una vida dedicada al rock and roll. La canción que da título al disco es un ejemplo perfecto de esta mirada al pasado.
En resumen, 'The Captain and the Kid' es un broche de oro a una de las historias de amistad y de colaboración artística más importantes de la música. Es un trabajo conmovedor que deleitó a sus seguidores de toda la vida.

[X]letra de And The House Fell Down
The sun is up and the shades are all pulled down
I'm more paranoid with every little sound
Like the leaf blower blowing the leaves around
And a siren wailing on the other side of town
Oh the tvs on and the colors really hurt my head
If I could think straight I'd wish I was dead
Or curled up naked in my lover's bed
Instead I'm hanging over Hell suspended by a single thread
[chorus:]
And I don't recall who said it at this time
That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind
I built it up and the wolf he came around
He huffed and puffed and the house fell down
With a rolled up note I'm hovering on that line
Three days on a diet of cocaine and wine
And a little weed just to level me sometime
I put the clock in the drawer 'cause I've cancelled out the time
[repeat chorus]
So don't knock on my door, don't try to call
I'm holed up in this room talking to the wall
When you're high as this you think you know it all
When you're this deep in there's no place else to fall
[repeat chorus]
And still that saying gets inside my mind
That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind
I built it up and the wolf he came around
He huffed and puffed and the house fell down - Blues Never Fade AwayVer letra 4:45
[X]letra de Blues Never Fade Away
He wasn't famous but I sure did love him
I've got his picture in a little frame
He lost his life to a big disease before it even had a name
But there's so many more and I've lost count
The hows and whys aren't important now
All that matters is they came around
And brightened up our lives
She was twenty one with her life ahead
You don't need to know her name
She breathed her last on the cold stone floor of a Hollywood arcade
But fate's right hand isn't always just
Puts a lot of pressure on your faith and trust
She was just a little girl ain't that enough
To rage against the day
[chorus:]
And how did we get so lucky?
Targets on the rifle range
Who makes the call and who gets to choose?
Who gets to win and who gets to lose?
It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues
And blues never fade away
Hey hey the colors run when the rain falls
But blues never fade away
He shone so bright with a lust for life
Like the Sun King that he was
His passions hung upon his walls and were printed onto cloth
And for reasons I never understood
About the choices made between the bad and good
I've tried to figure out but
The pain never goes away
[repeat chorus]
And there's marble markers and little white crosses
Along the beaten path
And I've spread their ashes on the wind
And I miss John Lennon's laugh
[repeat chorus] - The Bridge 3:38
- I Must Have Lost It On The WindVer letra 3:53
[X]letra de I Must Have Lost It On The Wind
I'm no longer counting I'm not keeping score
I could say my list of lovers doesn't matter anymore
But some are always in my heart
And some I'm not so sure
Either way they all left their mark
And for some I found a cure
[chorus:]
From one you learn something
Another you learn, nothing
And there's one who might teach you everything
But before I learned to listen
And if indeed someone said it
Then I guess I must have lost it on the wind
Back when I was younger each one was a prize
Love just came along and hit you right between the eyes
And one was just a trophy catch
And one was like a curse
Some would want to bleed you dry
Some might quench your thirst
[repeat chorus]
In cold water I went fishing in warm seas I cast a line
And swore the heart I was reeling in was perfect at the time
You couldn't tell me I was wrong, you couldn't tell me anything
And if you did then I guess I must have lost it on the wind - Old '67 4:01
