Wholy crap this is what music is all about.

Still sounds like the studio version vocals here, so this must have been before his vocal surgery. If he hadn't had surgery, he could probably still sing like this.

Laughing like children, living like lovers, rolling like thunder under the covers:). That's some sick shit! Song has got groove in spades!

Dearest Sir Elton, I am the "SAINT" you once wrote of , back when I was composing songs in BLOOMINGDALE'S , wishing to be fun enough, forgiving enough, skinny enough, talented enough, and generously loving enough for the wrong dude... Well, I WAS REAL GONE, but I'm back again... / I only had to walk into The Madison YMCA in Madison New Jersey to hear the bloaks exclaim : " Oh, NO, WE know why he loved her, she's THE HOLLY GRAIL, she sound like Faith Hill and looks like Shania Twain, tell her he still cares for her, that this one only reminds him of LuAnne, that it won't lasst long, tell her to WAIT, how long did she wait? , SHE just has to be willing to fight for him, and than she can get in , she is really good, but she has no idea of how much she is worth ; SHE'S going to start a war" / Like a TRUE BONE HEAD, I showed up at his door in BALTIMORE asking if he was doing o.k., begging , for them to believe that I was, and could be a friend, asking to talk to him , before just going home to PLEAD with my EX-step MONSTER to help him, stating that there was going to be a war, that the girl he was living with was not sure if he was doing that well, and I was afraid that I WOULD NEVER SEE HIM ALIVE AGAIN / The EX-Step MONSTER who gave all my music away, stated that this guy is a CANCER, FORGET HIM , thought I forgot of how they wished me ruined, with a kiss of death at my Mother's Second Wedding, " to be forced , hard, into a wheel chair, and to ruin my blood with a DEMAND to RUIN HER FOR ME YOURSELF" , with a KISS OF DEATH, directly after taking wedding vows and PROMISING to LOVE AND PROTECT my Mom , My Sister and myself... / I KNOW YOU KNOW I Loved and only wished that Love was Love enough for EVERYONE / How do I THANK YOU for writing "SAINT" for me and probably "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues" : My Godfather Anthony Piraneo was Gay, had a forever thing with his Walter, we were all accepting, life long, whenever they came for the Hollidays. Uncle Tony, a TOUGH MARINE SARGENT, who always went back to train his boys, when The U. S. Government needed him, for Korea and Viet Nam, after serving in World War Two, always wore these great Get Ups too : One Christmas he showed up looking like The Czar of Russia, coat and hat matching and I LOVED that he usually gave me a BIG BEAR HUG wearing TOO MUCH of his favorate scent... ( Hind Sight is 20 -20, those BLOAKS at The YMCA said : "OH NO She's like PUDDIN", meaning my Uncle Tony, and I NEVER STOOD A CHANCE ! ) , ( HOW he MUST HAVE died BROKEN HEARTED, for the SAD SHAPE of the world condition , and I KNOW he would have pulled together any HUMAN EQUASION he could muster to SAVE ! The Bloaks heard me say that I wanted him to walk me down the isle at my wedding, but I needed to have two fybroids removed from my uterous, because one exclaimed : "Does she know WHAT that would mean to her Uncle; TELL HER TO WAIT" ( On the FLIP SIDE of my Lifes CALLAMADY, I ONLY PRAY we MIGHT start a tradition, at least, in times of war, of dedicated and donated Music Royalties, enabeling children to FUSE LOFTY ideals of their Gods, from all parts of the world, that GOODNESS and INNOCENCE MIGHT PREVAIL OVER EVIL, where Soldiers Struggle winning HEARTS AND MINDS / I also wish THE BRITS MIGHT look inside my heart, for "REDEAMABLE QUALITIES", and let me be enabeled to be in a decent band and perhaps be worthy, like Photographer Annie Levowitz, and with Modern Miracles In Medicine, become worthy of the title "FUN FIT PROLIFIC WIFE AND MOTHER", as IT is all I ever wanted and IT IS ONLY EVERYTHING !!! / PLEASE, My VERY Goof Ball Grandfather made me promise to forgive and forget and to JUST BE A REALLY GOOD TIME, just before he passed on , and I KNOW it is ALL ABOUT CAPASITY ! / I WILL hear it again, one little phrase at a time, and be GENEROUS, for it WAS as though WE BLESSED ONE AND OTHER's VERY AIR : With EVERY Good Thought, Lyric, Memory, Deed and Quest, and With ALL MY LOVE, THANKS ELTON ++++ Sincerely, Lu Anne Moran aka "Teen Angle", or as The Marines once called me : "THE MOOSE". but thats another Goof - Ball Story...

And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide...
I cry at night but it doesn't help... -
Ok Elton started as a session player. Billy Joel has employed session players fact!! However Billy Joel is a solo artist. Elton only writes the music his partner writes the lyrics. In conclusion who's better is dumber than blue is better than red!
-
I think comparing elton and billy is like comparing flowers - its pointless!!! Both are amazing musicians!!!
-

-

-

-

What makes Billy joel a minor, is that he doesnt write his own music, while Elton John wirtes his own music
-
Avicii rocks
