the fox is actually better than goodbye yellow brick road and captain fantastic. the only reason that the fox overlooked is because of the "gay issue" of the time and the change of lyric writer.
The Fox is such a sad gloomy album. It has haunting tunes: Heart in the Right Place, Breaking Down Barriers, Chloe, to name justa few. Still, I enjoy it very much.
This song probably got lost in the shuffle when Elton's career slowed a bit in the late 70s/early 80s. Of course, Elton fans who go back and listen to his music from this period can easily see that there were plenty of gems he recorded during this time and this is one of those.
When I think of all the garbage that has sold millions of copies, it baffles me how this extraordinary song was barely a top 40 hit. I love this song as well as The Fox. The title track from The Fox was a great album cut. Other great songs of Elton's that were not big hits include Sartorial Eloquence, In Neon, Ego, and The Last Song.
anyway i plan on singing this to her when i learnt all the lyrics which shouldn't take really long, i will also sing fireflies by owl city to her , just the way you are by bruno mars , who baby i love your way , lots of boyzone love songs , your gorgeous by babybird plus lots and lots and lots more romantic love songs to her lol. :-)
i love a girl at college called chloe bailey and i just want to make ger so really happy and feel the most loved and only girl in the world (another song i plan on singing to her - the only girl in the world),
I've loved this song from it's conception,but I've never felt that it has been done justice. I hope EJ does justice toward this masterpiece before he, too has to retire from this boring lot (of us).
I'm now in a bitter custody battle for Chloe and I take great solace in this song. And hope that she will forgive me my transgressions one day and realize I will always be her friend.
I named my daughter Chloe, after this song. My husband, now ex, could not agree on any name and then I remembered this song. I didn't tell him and we agreed on Chloe. About the only thing we ever agreed upon. Anyway, My daughter is thrilled to be named after a song and not a perfume.
Interesting observation. I'm big on production and song structure and I never really noticed this. It is a little long, but once the chorus kicks in the song starts to move along better.
Well, it's about 1:50 until the chorus starts. Listen to the full version with the Carla Etude intro. It makes much more sense tempo wise in that song, even though the musical structure doesn't exactly segue THAT well.
omg i think thats one my favourite eltons song ..... with levon. ive been looking for this video for soo long!!! thank u very very much!!! eltons the best!

Can't understand why this wasn't a huge hit - not even sure it was released as a single - just one of his many gems.
