    I love sting but he cannot deliver like Elton does on this beautiful, mystical enigmatic song. Thank you Bernie and sir Elton.

      i agree the original track is just Elton at his very best sublime song makes you really weep it holds very mixed emotions for me back in the 70s

    Elton isn't the typical screaming solo pianist, His real genius was in the way he put notes together to create chord combinations (many arpeggiated). He developed a sound that was uniquely his and you could always recognize an Elton John song even when he wasn't singing. Well sung by Sting, too.

    • @hurleymacmaster8262

    As with all of my met heroes (of whom I have all of their catalogs) it is often the DEEP CUTS that turn out to be my favorites.
    I see them as more personal, private discoveries that few know about. Poems, that you can keep close to your heart.

    I remember Sting singing this on a documentary, and it's nice to think Elton considers him a dear friend. But this interpretation kinda...doesn't seem to get the emotional content when Sting sings it. But it's a delight to see Elton revisit this one. We cover it, too. LOVE this song. Have felt what it's all about...there was this girl named Kaya Ba-Doom once...

    "Come Down In Time"
    In the quiet silent seconds I turned off the light switch
    And I came down to meet you in the half light the moon left
    While a cluster of night jars sang some songs out of tune
    A mantle of bright light shone down from a room
    Come down in time I still hear her say
    So clear in my ear like it was today
    Come down in time was the message she gave
    Come down in time and I'll meet you half way
    Well I don't know if I should have heard her as yet
    But a true love like hers is a hard love to get
    And I've walked most all the way and I ain't heard her call
    And I'm getting to thinking if she's coming at all
    Come down in time I still hear her say
    So clear in my ear like it was today
    Come down in time was the message she gave
    Come down in time and I'll meet you half way
    There are women and women and some hold you tight
    While some leave you counting the stars in the night

      ​@@gracekenningsYou are so wrong. An anvil is used in making horse shoes. A lantern mantle is a device used to generate bright white light when heated by a flame. Sorry to burst your confident bubble but it's MANTLE. Anvil makes absolutely NO sense.

    Il testo di Bernie è forse tra i più sinceri ed esprime poeticamente e con un pizzico di amarezza le sensazioni di chi forse dava per scontato che la lei di turno ansiosa di incontrare lui a venire in orario ad un appuntamento sembra che invece lei non è mai venuta....sigh...

    Tumbleweed Connection is my favorite Elton album and Come Down In Time one of my favorite songs on it, and I love Sting's voice and a lot of his material - BUT this particular effort is a travesty and the last part where they sang in unison sounded like somebody threw a grenade into the middle of the whole thing

  • @Cartier_specialist
    @Cartier_specialist 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think Sting is a phenomenal vocalist but Elton set the bar so high on this particular song that Sting just seems like a bad fit for this song. Nothing against Sting in anyway -- I doubt Elton would sound good singing the King of Pain either.
