Some "Elton" That's Hardly Heard Anymore, If At All.

It used to be common practice in popular (and classical) music to give the listener a reprise of what they just listened to (i.e. a brief sampling). Look up reprise on Wikipedia.

The song "Empty Sky" also fades out and then back in, and then back out.

I had that same question. There's no obvious delineation between the two. I hear a lot of fading in and fading out. Confusing.

Ok, someone please explain to me what's going on at the end of the song as we fade in and out, in and out, in and out?

Genius. You know, they sure don't make music (like this) anymore. But I could live in a world where music like this was produced each and every single day and die a happy camper. Thank you for posting this classic.

Great CD great idea to represe

Same intro sound with Rihanna's Russian Roulette :)

I also think the "Hay Chewed" segment, besides being merely a pun on "Hey Jude," is a continuation of the "Gulliver" chorus, only in jazz-bebop fashion.

@hooeybrown Thank you.

@ClassicTVMan1981X I think "Hay Chewed" begins at 3:09 and the "Reprise" begins at 4:42

@ashleyh81 Maybe it was because the songs on it weren't strong enough.

ClassicTVMan1981X

Is anyone able to break down when "Gulliver" transitions into "Hay-Chewed" and when "Hay-Chewed" transitions into "Reprise"?

Primi semi del talento infinito di Sir Elton.Che tocco vellutato, incedere che riassume tutto il pop degli anni 60 e dei primi anni 70 insieme, anticipando certe soluzioni armoniche che altri tenteranno inavno di realizzare negli annia venire.La fame è tanta, la fama verrà qualche tempo dopo con i coccodrilli e il loro rock simil anni 50....

@forloveoffilm hehe so do I. I cry whenever I listen to this, its my favourite off the album, great melody and heartfelt lyric.

@forloveoffilm I totally agree - and think Empty Sky was his best work (gotta luv that jazz section, too, plus harpsicord for Skyline Pigeon). One of my top favorite albums!
