My favorite Elton John song. It is interesting that you bring up the talking aspect. Elton John said that Lou Reed talks his songs in pitch rather than actually singing them. I think he was speaking about Perfect Day that he did a version. The line "are they green or are they blue" is kinda English. I wonder how African American artists deal with this line. I love the emphasis you place on the meaning of the words. Great video Freya
Had the idea that I’d like to sing and play this to my future wife at our wedding. Piano comes to me really easily, but singing is a little more difficult for me. Thank you!! Good advice!
Hi Evan, I'm an expert at these types of things. You can foul up the singing as bad as humanly possible and it will sound the best singing in the history of the stuff to her.
I find this song pretty hard to sing somehow. Don't know Elephant Medley from Moulin Rouge goes pretty well, but this one, have hard time to hit it right.
@@mm-ss8lv hi! i didn’t actually end up singing this one, i sang ‘yesterday’ by the beatles instead and got second place. but i continue to LOVE this song!!! i’m still singing and have improved lots since then:))) thank you for your comment, hope you’re doing great.
I can't sing to save my life..... honestly... but your help in the video above stopped me from sounding like a cat was being throttled. Thank you.....

You can listen to Heather Headly doing a masterful performance of it on TH-cam,in which she souled the "or they're blue" line up.
