I ain't no Elton John of course! But i tried my best.

I know they say this song is not trying to be a metaphor for anything, but to me, the rocket man can be easily an artist that needs to leave and be on mars alone and that knows that the way home is really long. And that while there (LA, London, NY) is really hard to raise a family, to plant roots, to find real warmth, and that often back home everyone looks at us not really knowing what we're capable of.
And the costumes in this case are both an homage to Elton John's dresses and glasses and a way to point out the different transformation we go through in the big show biz cities to survive and open doors.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hey dude. Is there a plug in you use to thicken the vocal in the chorus, or is it just a perfect doubling?

[giuliocarmassi]

@yellowmegavidz / it's just good old actual doubling in the chorus!
