Oceans apart, day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
 
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever?
 
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
 
I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
 
Oh, can't you see it, baby?
You've got me going crazy
 
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
 
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end, if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
 
Oh, can't you see it, baby?
You've got me going crazy
 
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you.

GENRE: BALLAD
YEAR: 1980
 
           Sir Elton Hercules John (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight; 25 March 1947) is an English singer, songwriter, pianist and composer. Collaborating with lyricist Bernie Taupin since 1967 on more than 30 albums, John has sold over 300 million records, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. He has more than fifty Top 40 hits in the UK Singles Chart and US Billboard Hot 100, including seven number ones in the UK and nine in the US, as well as seven consecutive number-one albums in the US. His tribute single "Candle in the Wind 1997", rewritten in dedication to Diana, Princess of Wales, sold over 33 million copies worldwide and is the best-selling chart single of all time. According to Billboard in 2019, John is the top solo artist in US chart history (third overall), and the top Adult Contemporary artist of all time.
           Raised in the Pinner area of Greater London, John learned to play piano at an early age, and by 1962 had formed Bluesology, an R&B band with whom he played until 1967. He met his longtime musical partner Taupin in 1967, after they both answered an advert for songwriters. For two years, they wrote songs for artists including Lulu, and John worked as a session musician for artists including the Hollies and the Scaffold. In 1969, John's debut album, Empty Sky, was released. In 1970, his first hit single, "Your Song", from his second album, Elton John, became his first top ten in both the UK and the US. His most commercially successful period, 1970–1976, included Honky Château(1972), Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player(1973), Goodbye Yellow Brick Road(1973) and his first Greatest Hits compilation — the latter two among the official best-selling albums worldwide. John has also had success in musical films and theatre, composing for The Lion King and its stage adaptation, Aida and Billy Elliot the Musical.
           John has received five Grammy Awards, five Brit Awards; including for Outstanding Contribution to Music; two Academy Awards, two Golden Globes, a Tony Award, a Disney Legends Award, and the Kennedy Center Honor. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked him 49th on its list of 100 influential musicians of the rock and roll era. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1992 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, and is a fellow of the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for "services to music and charitable services" in 1998. His music career was dramatised in the 2019 biopic Rocketman.
        "Skyline Pigeon" is a ballad composed and performed by English musician Elton John with lyrics by Bernie Taupin. It is the eighth track on his first album, Empty Sky. It was originally released by Guy Darrell and Roger James Cooke simultaneously as a single in August 1969. 
Turn me loose from your hands
Let me fly to distant lands
Over green fields, trees and mountains
Flowers and forest fountains
Home along the lanes of the skyway
 
For this dark and lonely room
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
And my eyes are mirrors
Of the world outside
Thinking of the ways
That the wind can turn the tide
And these shadows turn
From purple into grey
 
For just a Skyline Pigeon
Dreaming of the open
Waiting for the day
He can spread his wings
And fly away again
 
Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly
Towards the dreams
You've left so very far behind
Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly
Towards the dreams
You've left so very far behind
 
Let me wake up in the morning
To the smell of new mown hay
To laugh and cry, to live and die
In the brightness of my day
 
I want to hear the pealing bells
Of distant churches sing
But most of all please free me
From this aching metal ring
And open out this cage towards the sun
 
For just a Skyline Pigeon
Dreaming of the open
Waiting for the day
He can spread his wings
And fly away again
 
Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly
Towards the dreams
You've left so very far behind
Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly
Towards the dreams
You've left so very, so very far behind.

GLORIA TELLS
SONGWRITERS: SANNE STENBECK & SEBASTIAN WINSKOG
COUNTRY: SWEDEN
ALBUM: FLY BACK TO ME
LABEL: EPIDEMIC SOUND
GENRE: R & B
YEAR: 2020
 
       We are proud to introduce the album 'FLY BACK TO ME' by Gloria Tells.
       When it comes to experimenting with the perks of anonymity, soul music has the right prerequisites. This is something that underground band, Gloria Tells, takes advantage of.
        Not much is known about this freshman incognito band — neither the number of members nor faces. Signed to the Swedish production music label, Epidemic Sound, Gloria Tells released their first EP Out Of Control last year. Their latest release, a double A-side single ‘Love! / Tell Me Now‘, is a sweet blend of neo-soul, synthpop, future bass, chill trap and deep house.

I would say we were good together
I would say we have fun
But our trains will, never run forever yeah
Something new is on your mind
 
Like everything that's good in life
Always come to an end
We're letting go drifted apart
Is no use trying to pretend
 
And I know that it's over
Got that look on your face
It's too hard to explain
But the words is the pay
When you plead’s now my name
 
You say gloria please
Don't cry for me, oh
Gloria please
Don't cry for me yeah
 
I can hurt you
Like you hurt me too, yeah
Then we make love
When we are done, uh
 
Break and open then get back together, oh
You're the trigger to my gun
Like everything that's fair in life
Is come to an end
We're letting go drifted apart
Is no use trying to pretend
 
And I know that it's over
Got that look on your face
It's too hard to explain
But the words is the pay
When you plead’s now my name
 
You say gloria please
Don't cry for me
No gloria please
Don't cry for me yeah
 
Why do everything that's good in life
Always come to an end
Letting go drifted apart
Is no use trying to pretend
 
And I know that it's over
Got that look on your face
It's too hard to explain
But the words is the pay
When you plead’s now my name
 
You say gloria please
Don't cry for me
(No) oh gloria please
Don't cry for me
Don't cry for me oh, yeah
