@@mikeguidara1262it was the beginning of a new era for him, after getting sober in 1990 along with changing his style and looking after himself physically he looked like a reborn man. The One was a more lively and exciting album, Sleeping with The Past was great but The One has more energy, Simple Life, The One and The Last Song are some true gems on the album itself.
I've been a fan since 1969 and every decade has memorable and meaningful Elton songs for me. Such a gifted musician. There will never be another Elton John.
It's nice to look back at the video's where Elton sings this song and i always thought it's one of his best songs, thou until up to ten Years ago he no longer seem to do it, in the seven times i went to see him in concert i was lucky enough to hear him sing it twice.
He's got that kind of voice whenever you hear it, you think, yeah it's pretty good. That's because we expect it from him, we're use to it and don't want anything less. Now whenever you compare his voice to other artist. It's more pleasing with wide range and incredible tempo, Harmony and perfect rhythm. That's what makes him who he is with his incredible talent. Beautiful stuff indeed.
@@dawsonvanderlugt1097 piano track is flawless, studio quality. sad to say piano's just a decoration here. but only Elton could turn a piano into a decoration
I remember the days when my brother played in a band in Mobile...and he could play the piano like Elton John .....and we would sit up in the living room until 3am....listening to music....and just putting on an albumn and saying....."Listen ...to this part..." and just be so totally consumed with the music. These were days when WET WILLY was from Mobile, Alabama too...and we all just loved music.
Pretty impressive for someone who had sobered up after battling his demons for a long time. A good way to reclaim his place as a extremely gifted artist.
Yeah quite an album release for someone going through all that.. I know what it's like first-hand, without being a famous person, a musician for a living, being talked about in the press, or any of that... I wonder how many of these tunes were in his head before he got sober.. and which kind of he began working on even in withdrawal and such, and so on.. I know Bernie has to give him lyrics first, so maybe not many were in his head at that time.
The One Elton John I saw you dancin' out the ocean Running fast along the sand A spirit born of earth from water Fire flying from your hands In the instant that you love someone In the second that the hammer hits Reality runs up your spine And the pieces finally fit And all I ever needed was the one Like freedom fields where wild horses run When stars collide like you and I No shadows block the Sun You're all I've ever needed Babe, you're the one There are caravans we follow Drunken nights in dark hotels When chances breathe between the silence Where sex and love no longer gel For each man in his time is Cain Until he walks along the beach And sees his future in the water A long lost heart within his reach And all I ever needed was the one Like freedom fields where wild horses run When stars collide like you and I No shadows block the Sun You're all I've ever needed Ooh, babe, you're the one And all I ever needed was the one Like freedom fields where wild horses run When stars collide like you and I No shadows block the Sun You're all I've ever needed Ooh, babe, you're the one And all I ever needed was the one Like freedom fields where wild horses run When stars collide like you and I No shadows block the Sun You're all I've ever needed Ooh, babe, you're the one
Gracias elthon por esta bella poesía de amor y lealtad a la única que camino libre por esa playa y como tú lo dices está echa de agua y tierra tiene fuego en las manos y cuando el hombre la conoce en esa playa se libera y ella es one la elegida por tu que la vistes cabalgar como caballos salvajes cuando vi ese vídeo único irrepetible me quedé fascinada de como la conocisteis y dije como lo sabe !!!! Y te admire también en el vídeo de Nikita como amas elthon a la mujer gracias desde argentina te lo agradezco atte Rosa!
This song is like a musical lesson on "split chords" I'd say... really demonstrates the power of moving the bass note to something not just other than the root of the chord, but a note that actually works and means something..
Few people would notice that, so thanks for that. I play Elton's catalog on piano, and the one thing he's always done is use bass notes other than root in many chord choices. It makes all the difference and gives his songs that unique sound. I get satisfaction every time I play those chords. And at the end of this song, it's a master stroke to play the D chord while holding the Bb bass before resolving to the Eb.
Just bought the album again, 30 years later I saw the concert...and bought it the 1st time. Was my first Elton John concert. In 30 years, saw him 22 times in Concert....all my love and respect!🙏❤️🙏
parabéns Elton 😂por suas canções e pela dedicação a carreira artística e profissional canções que estão no coração da gente e que Deus abençoe muito você
By miles, this is my very favorite male singer ever since I first heard "Your Song" in the early 70s! What a pair he and Bernie Taupin made!. They even look like they should be Brothers! Two amazing talents! I would be hard-pressed to name a favorite tune of mine. That's OK since I believe I have all of them! They all seem to remind me of a different girl. While going through that awful procedure, "Sacrifice" fit in perfectly!
I was at this performance! I went to many tapings of TOTP in the early 90’s and this was one, he walked through the crowd right next to me and he was so tiny! Love that this is such a good copy.
Not sure that this is totally Live, especially when you look at his hands playing at the end of the video. He stays playing the medium (middle of the keyboard) keys while the piano melody is higher.
@@rayhoward9644 He's a very professional Artist and musician. Seen him 12 or 13 times in my life and every concert was different although the set list didn't change so much
Te amo Elton, gracias por crear esta belleza de canción, mi favorita de toda la vida,q magnífica interpretación esta cantando en vivo aunque si no me equivoco la música está grabada!
The One. It has. so much meaning for me . It is like something that took place in my life years ago . It is about someone in my family . “0u” Babe . If the person that this song pertains to besides myself reads this he or she will understand where I. am coming from . Just. where are you ? Are you doing well ? Do yo know how much I and we care .? I know you are out there somewhere and I think you know where I am . You know who is typing this . Mistakes were made and it was not fair to you or any of us . We are still family no matter what heartbreak it has caused. I Pray and hope someday we could let by gones be by gones. As someone we all know would. say. “Keep the Faith “.

Que grande maestro! Lo único que me desepciono un poco es que no esta tocando el piano, ya que los punteos no coinciden la posición de los dedos y es la pista original la que se oye (soy pianista) eso sí canta y esta canción es mi favorita!! Grande maestro!
I saw “The One” tour at the Capital Center just outside of DC. Got floor seats front and center - Elton is usually off to stage right. He was dead center with that Roland 2000 ..I couldn’t see him at all🤬. Fortunately I’ve seen him 6 other times.
