yeah i think those partying days caught up with him....the eighties really did him in...i love la album was a powerhouse .....he had everybody on it....paul simon etc. he's definately a unique soul....im a big fan
Playing the finishing chord seems to come like a relief to him. His shortcomings as a vocalist always had some charm and brought out the sarcasm in his songs, but at this poin it's rather distracting and painful.
@TheGamerAtheist3 not only that you perhaps not exist for as many people as him, but also you don't even have the right to clean his shoes. So if there is a poor guy here... that one is you. And don't take this the wrong way, I have nothing against poor guys nor short people.
2)one thing that always saddens me about artists that have been performing for 25-30+ years -- they lose their voice. newman, elton john, dionne warwick, james hetfield, the list goes on. i know it's a part of life, whether by wear n tear or by drugs, but it still saddens me.
To hear a live version today of "short people" without all the short notes and straining, or "goodbye yellow brick road," high notes and all, would be kick-ass...
@TheOriginalGrumpster Well, his voice was never classically lovely, it was all about the character and texture. And he clearly still has that in spades. Not significant to a song such as this to have a beautiful voice. Its far more significant to infuse it with personality.

ランディ・ニューマンの曲の中でたぶん一番有名な曲だと思うのですが、なぜか日本ではこの曲すらあまり知られていないのが残念・・。言葉の問題ですかね。
