Hats off to Elton for choosing to try singing in another language. He does a fantastic job. And I love his chemistry with the adorable France Gall.

Oh, my, word! This is absolutely amazing, wonderful and gorgeous! I especially love seeing Elton mucking about, as on piano stool, because around this time was a tough time for Elton so it is heartwarming to see him in a happy place

I'll love Elton's songs til the end of times. Sir Elton John. The soundtrack of my entire life since 1972. RIP France Gall...

Les Aveux

Les grands orages, de venir à moi
J'ai là dans mes poings, la force de vivre
Et le filet du temps, ce n'est que l'ombre qui passe
Et voilà le présent que je regarde en face

J'ai en moi la vie, j'ai en moi le feu
J'ai en moi la tempête de celui qui veut
J'ai en moi la vie, j'ai en moi le feu
J'ai en moi la tempête, si je sais qu'on est deux

Je suis l'eau qui dort, et le roseau qui plie
J'ai le calme tranquille de la douceur des nuits
J'ai la patience immense et le fil du passé
Et j'ai les mains tendues pour prendre et pour donner


The confession

For the great storms to come to me,
I hold there in my fists the strength to live1.
And the net of time is nothing but the passing shadow2,
and here is the present, which I look in the eyes3

I got life inside me, I got fire inside me
I got inside me the storm of the one who has will4
I got life inside me, I got fire inside me
I got storm inside me, I know we're together5

I am the sleeping water, and the reed that bends
I got the quiet quiet6 of the nights' sweetness
I got the huge patience and the thread of the past
And my hands are outstretched to take and to give

Very beautiful song, Elton and France have a great chemistry.

Merci pour cette vidéo de deux artistes que j'ai toujours aimés. Sans parler de la chanson. Je suis très émue de l'entendre, après toutes ces années.

The piano genius! Is that 'Take it to the Limit' by The Eagles!
