What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

ELTON JOHN  "peachtree road"  cd,  2004

his twenty-seventh studio album...
and unbelievably, the follow up to his twenty-sixth album, 2001's "songs from the west coast"...
sound of the album and lyrical content are similar to that one also...
soft rock, piano ballads and hints of country.
most songs are autobiographical as he relfects on life and love...
if you love the previous album, youre going to love this one also, and i do...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM:

not a single, but my favourite:






I'm weary and I'm staying up late
And the rain hits my roof so hard
You know I'm no longer thirty
These days I'm happy to play
One or two hands of cards
I hate flies in the kitchen buzzing
Disturbing the peace I've found
Fortune and fame is so fleeting
These days I'm happy to say
I'm amazed that I'm still around.


And the weight of the world is off my back
When we fell, we got up
And crawled out the cracks
Excuse me if I take some comfort in that
Happy today, happy to play
With the weight of the world off of my back.

Humidity hangs like a curtain
Oh, it fogs up my glasses sometimes
You know I've still got my eyesight
These days I'm happy to see
A sunset instead of a line.

And the weight of the world is off my back......

There's a long list of names
That I don't recall
Even though my memory's good
The rain washed away
The lemons and weeds
When the weight of the world weighed more than it should.

I hate ugly dragon flies in the kitchen buzzing
Disturbing the peace I've found
Fortune and fame is so fleeting
These days I'm happy to say
I'm amazed that I'm still around
And the weight of the world is off my back
When we fell, we got up
And crawled out the cracks
Excuse me if I take some comfort in that
Happy today, happy to play
With the weight of the world off of my back.

Happy today, happy to play
With the weight of the world off of my back
