Actually, it would be interesting to see John reissue Elton's Song as a single as I feel it would be well received and finally receive the credit it deserves for not only its subject matter, but its simple, yet complex, composition. However, if the song was released today I dare say it wouldn't receive the same level of pushback and negative press. Heels Of The Wind is an enjoyable B-side that works well within the album format.Įlton's Song was rather controversial at the time of release. While much of The Fox is a missed opportunity, this recording, in particular, is a hit and deserves to be heard. It just proves that despite the incredible collaboration efforts of John and Taupin, not every song they wrote together was a hit.Ĭarla / Etude / Fanfare / Chloe is a lovely song, or collection of songs, that is truly worthy of being a part of John's back catalogue. Nobody Wins is one of the best songs on the album.įascist Faces is average at best. Nobody Wins has a compelling beat that is stuck in the 80s, yet I love it as I lived through that era and the music expression of the time was certainly unique. Although, as with many of the tracks on the album, the musicality and mix are excellent, making for a rather enjoyable listening experience. Just Like Belgium is a solid pop-rock tune. It gets better the more you listen to it and in many ways, that’s a sign of a good song. It reminds me of some of John's earliest recordings and it's a great song with yet another excellent mix. Heart In The Right Place has a moody rhythm that I enjoy. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoy the mix and the depth of the soundstage. Breaking Down Barriers isn't a bad tune, the musicality is beautiful with an addictive beat, but it lacks the spit and polish often associated with John's recordings.
