    It doesn’t get much better than 1970’s Elton John! His compositions are breathtaking! And the amazing Taupin lyrics just ice the cake perfectly. Thanks Harri and DJBilodeau. 🌺✌️

      You're right, his early albums are phenomenal his last great album for me was Captain Fantastic. His earlier brilliance did appear on a couple of later albums in my view, The One and Songs From the West Coast. Madman Across the Water has been my favourite for years, and again with many of his albums it's the 'deep cuts' l love the most, songs such as Holiday Inn, Razor Face and Rotten Peaches.

    If nothing else in my life...music is in my DNA....I'm 70 yrs old and grew up thru 50's-70's...loving all music then and see it lasting to next generations warms my heart❤ I was lucky to attend dozens of concerts and saw almost every big group from 60's thru 2000's. Still have ticket stubs for over 40 years old.❤

    Now this is music. I'm 64. My favorite Elton John songs never made the radio. This is one of them. Ending lyrics, " There are women women and some hold you tight, while some leave you counting the stars in the night". Great lyrics Bernie 😊 This music rabbit hole is deep and full of music like this.

      Elton John is among so many artists/bands who's deep cuts' l enjoy the most. Madman Across the Water has been my favourite Elton John album for years, everybody knows Tiny Dancer and Levon, wonderful songs, but it's Holiday Inn, Razor Face and Rotten Peaches which l love just as much.

    How do you make music better than this ? As well as the melody and lyrics on this song, the arrangement is exceptional. I think people at 25 back then, were a lot more mature and wiser. None of The Beatles were even 30 when they broke and look at the music they made and their impact on the world and Elton and Bernie’s early song writing was right up there.

    Ok…never thought I find you reacting to this song. I have loved Elton & Bernie for fifty three years. And this is still my favorite. You should listen to the entire Tumbleweed Connection album. It’s truly something special. Another early song you will love is called Michelle’s Song from the FRIENDS movie soundtrack. (Not the TV series).
    You can thank me later.

      "So clear in my ear" [three notes on a French Horn] like it was today" I am pretty sure that there is an oboe in the instrumental break in this song, and I believe the three notes I mentioned are french horn. I clearly hear both instruments throughout this beautiful haunting masterpiece.
