    I have always been a fan of Elton and I must say. Your version of Ticking is simply amazing! You obviously are a gifted pianist. Thank you for sharing your interpretation of this classic tune

    As an avid fan of Elton's music since the late 60s, early 70s, and beyond...I have to say, your skills on the piano are amazing. As a vocalist, I'm constantly on the lookout for karaoke versions of my favorite songs. I play acoustic guitar but have absolutely no aptitude for playing the piano. I sang along with this version and have to say, I couldn't have asked for a better piano version of this particular song. I'm truly impressed...Thank you.

    For years I was hoping to hear the piano only version of this wonderful song, and after a request for it last week, you've done it. Thank you so much. Love listening to your work.

    I love this song and I'm so glad to have found this. As someone who struggles with some severe mental health issues and has lived in silence for far too long, it really speaks to me and so with this I can do a cover of it with my bandmates. Thank you so much :)

    This is one of Elton's best songs imo. This song is beautiful and Elton's playing is wonderful. You've matched that with your brilliant performance. Thanks

    How poignant that this song is more relevant now in the USA than it was in '74 when written. To all those lost since then, the thousands, it's within the next generations power to bring it to an end and make laws you want from your country for the future. I will always have a deep love in my heart for Americans..

    as a matter of interest, what do you think of Ticking? Where would you place it in the pantheon of rock ballads?

    • @LimeCovers
      @LimeCovers  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for asking! It really is a hidden gem. The song highlights how Elton is able to interpret Bernie Taupin's word into a song, where the melody really emphasizes the songs spirit and atmosphere. It's one of the greatest tracks they ever made lyrically and musically in my humble opinion. Too bad it never really got any recognition due to its length, although I realize that a lot of people do seem to appreciate the song. Definitely a highlight on one of Elton John's lesser great albums. What do you think?

    People always tell me I play like Elton John a lot. I always think I wish. I think I just accent my chords a bit like him. You on the other hand play like Elton Lol. For the last week I’ve been putting your tunes on my play list. Wish you listed an email. I’d love to talk music with you. I’ve never met anyone under 50 who knows this stuff. It’s awkward crocodile rock lol

    I wanted to do this song for a long time. But I lack the fine muscle control for this (due to an error during my tonsil operation so I didn't get any breath for several minutes).
    So I downloaded this (yes, there are tricks for that), I lowered it from F to D digitally to match my voice and I added drums, bass, a bit of extra piano and vocals to it. I hope to have the videoclip finished today. You can find it on my channel: the title is "bedtijd" (Dutch translation).
    PS I always mention credits on my videoclips. Who shall I put there as the pianist? I can't put "LimeCovers" there, can I?

      The piano that you see there is really a piano that Elton John played on (downloaded from the internet). The pianist is a ventriloquist dummy disguised as Elton John (glasses).
