This is an interesting time for Elton. He was promoting The Road to El Dorado, so he was performing "Someday Out of the Blue" everywhere, including playing El Dorado songs he doesn't normally play with the band - some he likely hadn't played since he wrote them. Here, he's promoting Aida again - a year after the concept album - to coincide with the Broadway debut. So he plays this track, which I believe is the ONLY time he ever played it live. And he wrote this in 1996, so he probably hadn't played it in 4 years. Yet, vocally, he's perfect and you'd assume he'd been doing it for years. The upshot is he was doing so many songs this year he normally doesn't do, but he nails them all. (Search his great cover of Free Man in Paris which he also did this year, not to mention the obscure tracks done at One Night Only shows in October '00).
This is the only Elton John song I've ever heard where I can understand every word he sings.......and it is a great song I can associate with on a personal level.
@@davidhallahan1928 I've been a fan for 27 years...and seen him in concert 5 times! But still, lyrics dont always sound very clear to me...especially Taupin...because his poems are very sophisticated.
How have I come to this How did I slip and fall How did I throw half a lifetime away Without any thought at all This should've been my time It's over, it never began Facing a world, for once not on my side I simply turned and ran I try to blame it on fortune Some kind of shift in a star But I know the truth and it haunts me It's flown just a little too far I know the truth and it mocks me I know the truth and it shocks me It's flown just a little too far People have faith in me I once did too I promise whoever has a hold on our lives I'll see the bad times through This should have been my time It's over, it never began Facing a world, for once not on my side I simply turned and ran I try to blame it on fortune Some kind of twist in my fate But I know the truth and it haunts me I learned it a little too late I know the truth and it mocks me I know the truth and it shocks me, Oh oh yeah- I learned it a little too late I try to blame it on fortune Some kind of twist in my fate I know the truth and it haunts me I learned it a little too late
Excelente. Pena que não obedeça a Deus. Gostaria muito que realmente soubesse a verdade... Poderia usar de maneira maravilhosamente melhor seu gênio e vida.
@@davidhallahan1928 Thought he,ad lib it really well. My piano teacher always said if you make a mistake keep playing,it will probably turn out better than what you were meant to play.
