But most of all please free me from this aching metal ring and open out this cage towards the sun.”Įnjoy my rendition of Skyline Pigeon, and please leave your feedback as you see fit.Dionne Warwick Uses samples from Luther VandrossĮver Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)? When Elton played this song for Ryan, I believe that is what he was describing as he sang the line “I want to hear the pealing bells of distant churches sing. Ryan dealt not only with the disease itself but also with a great deal of biggotry and hatred from the community around. As many of you know, in the late 1980’s Elton had befriended the young Indiana boy who had been infected with HIV by way of a blood transfusion. Elton played this song at the funeral of Ryan White in 1990. I think it can also be intrepreted as a song about death it could be about someone who has struggled with an illness and is finally being released from their illness by death. I think it could be intrepreted as breaking free from youth. Its a great song to vary volumes and intesities of playing. This song lent itself very well to emotive playing. I used pieces of his version from the Here and There album in London, the Empty Sky album and the B-Side to Daniel. I kind of modeled my version after a few different versions of Elton’s recordings. Once again, I decided not to use the harpsichord sound in my version. On this version, Elton brought in the band and instead played the song on piano. The song was again recorded in 1972 as a B-Side for the Daniel single. The album was recorded at Trident Studios, London, England in March 1970 and released in October of the same year. All songs are written by John and Bernie Taupin, with the exception of Love Song by Lesley Duncan. There is an echo on Elton’s vocal track providing even more hymnal quality to the song. This was Elton John’s third album release, following the success of debut Empty Sky and his self-titled sophomore LP. All instruments and vocals on the track are done by Elton (the only other instrument being an organ). Written by the fledgling partnership of Elton John and Bernie Taupin, the song is quite long, at 8 minutes 28 seconds. In the recording that is featured on Empty Sky, he chose to use the harpsichord again. Songfacts®: The title track of Elton Johns debut album is about a prisoner lamenting the loss of his freedom. The song is written like a hymn, which I mentioned before became a very signature Elton John style. Every single Elton John album that has been officially released since his debut album in 1969 entitled Empty Sky to his latest release entitled Diamonds which was a compilation album released in 2017. The melody is true Elton John style and moves beautifully through the chord changes. To be fair, we have also included Elton John’s live albums as consideration for our Top 10 Elton John Album Covers list.
I agree with Elton and think that this song is truly the first song with genuine credibility that Elton and Bernie wrote. Today’s post is Skyline Pigeon, track eight (or track four from side two) of the Empty Sky album. Its strange beacuse this is the first video I’ve recorded for the blog that I really feel excited about. In concert Elton John often declares Skyline Pigeon to be the first song that he and Bernie ever wrote that they actually felt excited about.
