MetalGuruMessiah's video: We All Fall In Love Sometimes - Elton John 1975

"We All Fall in Love Sometimes" was released in May 1975 on Elton John's ninth studio album, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. The track was the second to last track on side two....it and the final track "Curtains" combine to provide the perfect closing to one of Elton John's undisputed masterpieces of the early to mid 1970's. It's tied with Goodbye Yellow Brick Road as my favorite album, but this album in particular is maybe my favorite album of all time as far as the sound and production. Nothing has ever sounded quite like it. 96KHz/24bit FLAC 4K UHD! Still not really feeling working on new videos much (I'm just tired of Youtube suffocating my views to the point that its become almost not worth the effort)...but still get antsy if weeks pass and I'm not uploading anything...habit I suppose). I have been wanting to update my old video for "Curtains" https://youtu.be/Ch73A5Ticgw for a very long time, and I was chipping away at it when I got tired and decided to start one for this song (which has frequently crossed my mind for my "next" video for years, but I'd never even started). It was finished for several days when I learned an old and dear friend (that I deeply regret not seeing for many years) had passed on. He was maybe the biggest EJ fan I ever knew and it struck me that I was about to upload a video for an EJ song...but not until I found time to edit and render it one more time. My friend and I used to listen to this album all the time after school. That's the special thing about music....the people and places you love are always there for you to visit when you listen, and my friend is here in this song. ....For you, Ruben. Written, according to lyricist Bernie Taupin, in chronological order, Captain Fantastic is a concept album that gives an autobiographical glimpse at the struggles John (Captain Fantastic) and Taupin (the Brown Dirt Cowboy) had in the early years of their musical careers in London (from 1967 to 1969), leading up to John's eventual breakthrough in 1970. John composed the music on a ship voyage from the UK to New York. "Someone Saved My Life Tonight", the only single released from the album, is a semi-autobiographical story about John's disastrous engagement to Linda Woodrow, and his related 1968 suicide attempt. The "Someone" refers to Long John Baldry, who convinced him to break off the engagement rather than ruin his music career for an unhappy marriage. John said, "I've always thought that Captain Fantastic was probably my finest album because it wasn't commercial in any way. We did have songs such as "Someone Saved My Life Tonight," which is one of the best songs that Bernie and I have ever written together, but whether a song like that could be a single these days, since it's [more than] six minutes long, is questionable. Captain Fantastic was written from start to finish in running order, as a kind of story about coming to terms with failure—or trying desperately not to be one. We lived that story." John, Taupin and the band laboured harder and longer on the album than any previous record they'd ever done. As opposed to the rather quick, almost factory-like process of writing and recording an album in a matter of a few days or at most a couple of weeks (as with Goodbye Yellow Brick Road), the team spent the better part of a month off the road at Caribou Ranch Studios working on the recordings. Producer Gus Dudgeon was apparently also very satisfied with the results. He was quoted as saying he thought Captain Fantastic was the best the band and Elton had ever played, lauded their vocal work, and soundly praised Elton and Bernie's songwriting. "There's not one song on it that's less than incredible," Dudgeon said. In 2003, the album was ranked number 158 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. [Lyrics] Wise men say It looks like rain today It crackled on the speakers And trickled down the sleepy subway trains For heavy eyes could hardly hold us Aching legs that often told us It's all worth it We all fall in love sometimes The full moon's bright And starlight filled the evening We wrote it and I played it Something happened it's so strange this feeling Naive notions that were childish Simple tunes that tried to hide it But when it comes We all fall in love sometimes Did we, didn't we, should we, couldn't we I'm not sure 'cause sometimes we're so blind Struggling through the day When even your best friend says Don't you find We all fall in love sometimes And only passing time Could kill the boredom we acquired Running with the losers for a while But our empty sky was filled with laughter Just before the flood Painting worried faces with a smile Wise men say It looks like rain today It crackled on the speakers And trickled down the sleepy subway trains For heavy eyes could hardly hold us Aching legs that often told us It's all worth it We all fall in love sometimes Whoa, whoa, whoa We all fall in love sometimes
