Elton John Singing “If The River Can Bend” on the Des O’Connor Show

Elton John Tribute Act — Sun, 12 Aug 2018 14:38:44 +0000

Elton John – “If The River Can Bend” Lyrics

I don’t know what to say
I don’t know where the light shines
It’s a grey dawn rising on a green hill
And there’s so much behind us

I don’t know where we go
I sure feel there’s something out there
There’s a great awakening and a new morning
And your spirit’s pounding loud and clear

If the river can bend
I’ll find you waiting
Home at last from the wild sea
All the twists and turns
We’ve made together
All the boats you rocked
With your harmony
If the river can bend
If the river can bend
If the river can bend
If the river can bend

Come and embrace the struggle
But win or lose we live here
Build a new beginning on an old rock
Breathe deep of the sweet fresh air

Songwriters: Bernie Taupin / Elton John

Video: Elton John’s Rocket Man (With Lyrics)

Continuing our journey down the greatest hits of Elton John, here’s Rocket Man – possibly one of the most famous Elton John songs of all time.

Note: This is the REAL Elton, NOT Elite Elton.

If you’re an Elton John fan, and don’t have the budget for the REAL Elton, why not book Elite Elton for your next event?

“Rocket Man” (officially titled “Rocket Man (I Think It’s Going to Be a Long, Long Time)“) is a song composed by Elton John and Bernie Taupin and originally performed by John. The song first appeared on John’s 1972 album Honky Châteauand became a hit single, rising to No. 2 in the UK and No. 6 in the US. On 21 October 2016, the song was certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry for sales of 200,000 digital downloads.

Rolling Stone lists it as No. 245 of its 500 greatest songs of all time.

Rocket Man Lyrics

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine AM
And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It’s lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
‘Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s cold as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time

Video: Elton John’s Tiny Dancer

Building on Elton John and Bernie Taupin’s Californian inspiration, Max Weiland filmed a video for “Tiny Dancer” that reflects on life in Los Angeles from a dozen different perspectives. The Cut, proudly supported by YouTube, invited filmmakers to create the first official music videos for three of Elton’s most famous songs: http://eltonjohn.com/thecut

Tiny Dancer Lyrics

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you’ll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she’s in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

Songwriters: Bernie Taupin / Elton John

Behind The Lyrics

The lyrics were written by Bernie Taupin, John’s writing partner. They were inspired by Taupin’s first trip to America. John and Taupin are from England, and this was the first album they wrote after spending time in the US. Taupin and John spent a lot of time together in the ’70s; Bernie traveled with the band would usually stand by the soundboard during shows.

The “Blue jean baby, LA Lady, seamstress for the band” sure sounds it’s Maxine Feibelmann, who was Bernie Taupin’s girlfriend when he wrote the song and who became his first wife in 1971. She traveled with the band on their early tours, often sewing together the costumes and fixing their clothes. Plus, on the Madman Across The Water album, it says, “With love to Maxine” under the credits for this song. Elton John even said at one point that Bernie wrote it about his girlfriend.

Well, Taupin says that the song was not about Maxine. Here’s the story he tells: “We came to California in the fall of 1970, and sunshine radiated from the populace. I was trying to capture the spirit of that time, encapsulated by the women we met – especially at the clothes stores up and down the Strip in L.A. They were free spirits, sexy in hip-huggers and lacy blouses, and very ethereal, the way they moved. So different from what I’d been used to in England. And they all wanted to sew patches on your jeans. They’d mother you and sleep with you – it was the perfect Oedipal complex.”

Taupin adds that the “tiny” was poetic license, although these women were all petite. And “Tiny Dancer” sounds a lot better than “Small Dancer” or “Little Dancer.”

Video: Are You Ready For Love? Elton John Official Video

Elton John Tribute Act — Wed, 08 Aug 2018 11:33:16 +0000

“Are you ready for Love?” is such a happy song, and of course it features in the Elite Elton Elton John Tribute Show.

The video for a 2003 remix of Elton’s 1979 song “Are You Ready For Love”, directed by Kate Dawkins, uses archival film clips of Elton in his heyday, as well as a 1977 playback session with Elton, the Spinners, and other Philly Soul artists.

“Are you Ready For Love” by Elton John – Lyrics

Catch a star if you can
Wish for something special
Let it be me, my love is free
Sing a song to yourself
Think of someone listenin’
One melody, you’re all for me

I’ll write a symphony
Just for you & me
If you let me love you
I’ll paint a masterpiece
Just for you to see
If you let me love you
Let me love you.
[Chorus]
Are you ready, are you ready for love
Yes I am
Are you, are you ready,
Are you ready for love
Yes I am
Are you, are you ready
Are you ready for love
You’re the one, like the sun
Shine your love around me
You’ll always be, the one for me
Say the world, and I’ll be there
Loving you forever
Don’t let me go, just say it’s so

We’ll hear the music ring
From the mountain tops
To the valley below us
We’ll serenade the world
With a lullaby
So the angels will know us
Angels will know us

Elton John & K.D. Lang – Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word

Elton John Tribute Act — Sun, 05 Aug 2018 17:35:19 +0000

Here’s a wonderful performance from two amazing performers.

Interesting fact; Elton wrote this song in Canada, and K.D. Lang is Canadian.

The audio quality isn’t the best, and the video looks a little dated (the performance was in 2007), but two incredible singers coming together like this is something to be celebrated, even when the audio might be a bit ropey.

K.D. lang and Elton John perform “Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word” at “An Enduring Vision,” a benefit for the Elton John AIDS Foundation – September 25th, 2007.

This video share is brought to you by Elite Elton.
