Elton è sempre in piedi


Ieri sera abbiamo visto "Rocketman" il film uscito nel 2019 sulla vita di Elton John da quando era bambino al 1983, anno in cui si chiuse in un rehab per abuso di tutto... sesso, droga, alcool, farmaci e.... pazienza di chi gli stava accanto. Un bel film, a tratti anche triste sull'inaffettività dei genitori che ha avuto ripercussioni nei suoi rapporti con gli altri anche a causa di un ego che cresceva a dismisura col successo e con qualche perla tipo la scelta del nome d'arte guardando una foto dei Beatles e in particolare Lennon nell'ufficio del produttore. "Elton... come?" "Mmmmm.... Elton John" Il film si chiude con "I'm still standing" (Sono ancora in piedi), scritta dopo l'uscita dalla comunità di recupero che è la canzone del giorno. Buon ascolto e a domani!!!I'm still standing (Elton John)You could never know what it's likeYour blood like winter freezes just like iceAnd there's a cold lonely light that shines from youYou'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you useAnd did you think this fool could never win?Well look at me, I'm a-coming back againI got a taste of love in a simple wayAnd if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade awayAnd don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did?Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kidAnd I'm still standing after all this timePicking up the pieces of my life without you on my mindI'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)Once I never could hope to winYou starting down the road leaving me againThe threats you made were meant to cut me downAnd if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by nowAnd know I'm still standing better than I ever didLooking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kidAnd I'm still standing after all this timePicking up the pieces of my life without you on my mindI'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)Don't they know that I'm still standing better than I ever did?Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kidI'm still standing after all this timePicking up the pieces of my life without you on my mindI'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)
