Reseña
Con The Fox, de 1981, Elton John entrega uno de sus trabajos más eclécticos y, a menudo, subestimados. En este disco, por lo tanto, el artista continúa explorando los sonidos del pop y la new wave de principios de los 80, pero con una mayor experimentación. De hecho, el álbum es una fascinante mezcla de estilos que no siempre resulta coherente.
En consecuencia, el sonido del disco es muy variado. Por un lado, encontramos temas de pop con sintetizadores, como el sencillo "Chloe". Por otro, hay incursiones en el rock más enérgico e incluso baladas orquestales que recuerdan a su primera etapa.
Además, el álbum es conocido por la canción "Elton's Song", una delicada y valiente balada sobre el amor no correspondido de un joven hacia otro compañero de escuela, un tema muy avanzado para su época. Sin embargo, el álbum en su conjunto no tuvo un gran éxito comercial.
En definitiva, 'The Fox' es un trabajo de transición, el sonido de un artista que busca su lugar en una nueva década. Es un disco irregular pero que contiene joyas que merecen ser redescubiertas.

[X]letra de Breaking Down Barriers
I recall how it used to be
In my younger days
I built a wall all around my heart
To keep the pain away
I built it tall and I built it wide
I left no room for doubt
Your love still found it's way inside
And couldn't get back out
I'm breaking down the barriers
Making up my mind
I'm breaking down the barriers of time
I'm taking down the barriers
And loving what I find
I'm breaking down the barriers that lie
Between your love and mine
I guess you know you were not the first
You may not be the last
But you have shown me a better way
And now I'm learning fast
You gotta go where the feeling flows
I take it while it's hot
You gotta give if you wanna get
And I want all you got - Heart In The Right PlaceVer letra 5:22
[X]letra de Heart In The Right Place
I've got a good by-line, they all know my name
The queen of the sly line, I feed on your fame
But I got my heart in the right place, it's all in the game
If you're doing fine boy, you got my vote
But step out of line boy and I'll go for your throat
'Cause I got my heart in the right place, so give me a quote
I'll ask you some questions, I'll tell you some lies
You'll open your heart like a friend
I'll make up some answers you won't recognise
The you I create with my pen
But my heart's in the right place now and again
My heart's in the right place, know what I mean
My heart's in the right place on page seventeen
I'll ask you some questions, I'll tell you some lies
You don't understand, but you will
I'll make up some answers, cut you down to size
Then I move in for the kill
But my heart's in the right place
My heart's in the right place
My heart's in the right place, it's part of the skill
Heart's in the right place
I'm gonna destroy you and your reputation
Don't count for nothing with me
'Cause I'm an old bitch you see and my heart's in the right place
Don't you agree
Heart's in the right place, just wait and see
Heart's in the right place, don't you agree - Just Like Belgium 4:10
- Nobody Wins 3:42
- Fascist FacesVer letra 5:14
[X]letra de Fascist Faces
I read about how you're slow with the truth
Like any old Aesop's Fable
But when you're turtlesque, I'm a hare's breath
Into payment under the table
But some journalist got his mug shot kit
And his briefcase on his lap
But I'm tired of being linked with the K.G.B.
And all that political crap
'Cause I've seen your fascist faces
On the cover of the national papers
Staring out in black and white
From the tall gray walls on the other side
When I see your fascist faces
Then I know I've had enough
Trying to trace it or erase it
Is it foolproof or a bluff
If the boy had been blessed he'd have been arrested
On a charge of wearing red shoes
But if your pants are blue you got nothing to lose
It'll make you a patriot through and through - Carla/Etude/Fanfare 6:11
- ChloeVer letra 4:42
[X]letra de Chloe
How come you're so understanding
When I tell you all my lies
And pretending to believe them
See through all my alibis
And I need you more than ever
And I want you till the end
Chloe
How you handle what you live through
I can never hope to learn
Taking all the pain I give you
Loving blindly in return
And I need you more than ever
I will always be your friend
Chloe, Chloe
Chloe, what you gonna do about me
Chloe, what you gonna do
What you gonna do about me
You're the lifeline that I cling to
When I feel like giving in
When the dreams that I rely on
Start to wear a little thin
Then I need you more than ever
And I want you till the end
Chloe, Chloe - Heels Of The WindVer letra 3:37
[X]letra de Heels Of The Wind
Just like a broken marriage, when two people just don't care
Like when the cupboard is empty or there's no food in the Frigidaire
I'm a page from the end of the story
No closer to my hope and glory
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind
How come it gets so disturbing, when two ships pass in the storm
Who knows how high the crow flies, who knows where this refugee was born
I'm a page from the end of the story
No closer to my hope and glory
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind
And just for the sake of all these reasons
Rains wash out the fires within
Fires that help to keep you moving
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind
You don't deserve that treatment, I can't pretend I was that nice
I'm no E ticket ride to Disneyland, I'm no cushy first class flight
I'm a day behind your restless wings
You, you rather have the wealth of kings
Me, I'd rather be on the heels of the wind - Elton's Song 3:02
- The Fox 5:12
