Listen to this song with headphones; so many layers of guitars I never heard before.

I remember listening to this song in a CD store years ago .
It kept playing in my mind for days and sometimes I would return to the store just to enjoy listening to this song
until I had money to buy the album.

“The room’s so distorted and filled with bad shadows, oh I feel like a carcass, white like a marrow bone”. The best lyrics ever. So dark

The chord changes are exquisite, with much credit to the bassist.

Bernie did say he often tended to write a lot of somber lyrics. This song, "Ticking, " and "Where to Now St. Peter?" come to mind as ones that really stand out in that category. Elton sometimes would set these lyrics to an upbeat or moderate tempo melody, but Bernie could really write the sad songs!

Se não estiver falando sobre cocaína essa música, deve estar falando de crise psicótica.
