Well, I feel this song meant everything to Bernie Taupin...his way of expressing how he felt to finally escape from the Dick James music contract of "chunring 'em out think and fast" (from "Bitter Fingers" lyrics) and before they recorded "Empty Sky" in '69. On the orignal album, EJ played this song on the harpsicord. If you get either the "Rare Masters" cd or the "Don't Shoot Me....." remastered cd, you can hear where EJ recorded a piano verion of this song, which is so much more expressive than the original!!!! (well, personally, this version evokes and extracts more feelings than the original) And, agreeing with "NatilesADDICTION", absolutely one of their best-but-least-known songs! To me, this song has nothing to do with suicide, but rather, perhaps, of a love or a relationship that is not mutual ("but most of all, please free me from this aching metal ring"). Please let me go and see the world that's out there! Thanks, NataliesADDICTION for posting the lyrics! |
