Elton John - Reach Out To Me (never released)

Elton shared this during a TV interview sometime in 1980. I apologize for the very poor quality. At the end, Elton says, "Rough stages, but we'll get there in the end."

Thanks for posing this again! I remember this being posted on YouTube and it got taken down. :[ BTW, aren't we LJ friends? ;D It's Adri!

[mearen]

Hey you! Yeah, luckily I got it before it was taken down. I would have lost it forever. :C

Beautiful song. One of his best. This version, the one just played above should be released. No overdubs, nothing. Just a clearer version of the audio. Love it.

[mearen]

Yes! I wish it had been released on an album. I really do love the emotions behind this song.

You are mistaken about the song never being released. Elton recorded the song in the French language. It was released only in Europe.

The melody later resurfaced as Les Aveux, yes. But this is the english version.

So sweet

@recordsmanukrnet "Les Aveux", the b-side to Donner Pour Donner.

[recordsmanukrnet]

@thespermdonor ok, so plz tell me how France Gall's song is called then if he used this melody? I mean it must be renamed by them I guess then

[recordsmanukrnet]

I need this song badly! Can anyone tell me, where I can get it?

[thespermdonor]

@recordsmanukrnet The song wasn't complete but it would be in time. The melody was subsequently used for Les Aveux, his collaboration with French singer, France Gall.

@judmurph Hung drawn & down. And it might be the seed is broken, or maybe the scene.

[recordsmanukrnet]

What did he mean by saying "Rough stages, but we'll get there in the end"?

[cadetleader]

Sounds good to me. [Im hung drawn and down]. Beautiful song.

[judmurph]

Trying to figure out the lyrics for the 2nd verse and could use some additional ears. Here's what I've got so far:

There's no need to please me

I'm [h***] down

We suffered the silence

with feet on the ground

[The seed] is unbroken

so speak out your mind

We can seek our own counsel

and weep as we find

[sacmjr]

Elton is so modest at the end, I think sometimes he has trouble believing in himself; he needn't, this song is beautiful, and so are many more of his, thanks EJ for everything!
