g_b Someone Saved My Life Tonight
Sooo, on the topic of rock & roll piano players. Who do you think is the best? Personally, I think the best rock & roll piano player is Sir Elton John. SO I decided to post my favorite song from him, "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" which was recorded in 1975 on his album "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" Musically, the song is driven by Elton John's signature piano playing. Very melodic in style. I say it is his best piano work, along with his song "Bennie and the Jets". Hard to decide between the 2 of them as they are both excellent songs. The lyrics refers to the time before Elton John was a popular musician. It concludes side one in the album's telling of the history of John's and his lyricist Bernie Taupin's struggles to find careers within the music industry. John was distressed over whether to marry his girlfriend and he almost committed suicide over it. We all know he came out as gay later in his life. His friend, blues singer Long John Baldry, told Elton John to give up the marriage chance so his musical career could continue. So "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" began on that moment as a song written by Bernie Taupin to show his respect and gratitude for Baldry's advice. I always enjoy listening to this song. I hope you do too!!! Artist-Elton John Song-Someone Saved My Life Tonight Album-Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy When I think of those East End lights, muggy nights The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs Prima Donna lord you really should have been there Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore We've all gone crazy lately My friends out there rolling round the basement floor And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear You nearly had me roped and tied Altar-bound, hypnotized Sweet freedom whispered in my ear You're a butterfly And butterflies are free to fly Fly away, high away, bye bye I never realized the passing hours of evening showers A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams I'm strangled by your haunted social scene Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen It's four o'clock in the morning Damn it listen to me good I'm sleeping with myself tonight Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river Clinging to your stocks and bonds Paying your H.P. demands forever They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight Someone saved my life tonight So save your strength and run the field you play alone
