Saw an interview of Sir Elton where he was talking about his time at the Royal Academy. Said he was never good enough to play in the orchestra, he did sing in the choir. His talent was his ability to play back a piece of music he’d only heard once & play it identically, at a very young age. His music writing ability is phenomenal, he’s stated many times that when he gets lyrics from Bernie, he “sees the music like a movie” and it happens very quickly for every song they’ve written.

@jordan69885 жыл бұрын
its very easy to understand lol Elton has real Acoustic Yamaha grand its modified with pickups so he can use MIDI the MIDI cords run to a rack of digital piano modules in the back off stage. His sound engineer is off controlling the layering and sound levels for each song. Everything is Eltons playing its running thru a the rack and to the stage the rack has its a Roland MKS-20 (rack version of RD-1000), an old Technics module called the WSA1R, and Yamaha Motif ES units. Its easy to achieve the sound! I dont own a Technics unit I have the Yamaha Grand and the MKS-20 from a program called Keyscape. Its a computer VST software that has pulled the sounds from the MKS and TONNNSSSS of other pianos and sampled them into this software so I can now layer the MKS with the Yamaha grand preset and achieve Eltons sound its insane!!!!! If you havent checked out Keyscape I recommend it to everyone who cant get their hands on the older musical instruments. Its the best of the best and the sounds are the purest most beautiful thing Ive ever heard. heres a vid on it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ28k6CulqeiY6s

"I Cry At Night" This house that I live in has no reason This house that I sleep in has no purpose It has a bed and a few old chairs Three flights up, two flights of stairs But it has no reason Then someone shot through the tyre swing The dogs barked and bayed in the winter and spring And the ivy that hung now sadly clings To a dying season And I cry at night when the lights go out And the green eyes fuse and the full moon shouts From road maps and red lines to lipstick lies And when the lights go out it's tought to survive This man holds a hand that shows a tremble This man that I live in bears his faults He has a heart and a well worn soul Ten years a slave to Rock And Roll But he has to tremble For the yellow grass on the sun burnt lawn Sleeps in her seeds from the sunset to dawn And just like your love that's come and gone It goes on breathing
