A night under the stars with Elton John

After sitting for hours in the blazing heat, a black chopper emerges over the horizon.

"look! He's waving at us!" shouts an excited female fan. The crowd waves at the chopper as it settles down.

The bitch himself struts on stage, resplendent in a black velvet coat embroided with multihued flowers (ooo so pretty) to begin the concert, but not before having a (right royal?) whinge about this is the earliest he's ever started a concert.

Then he sits at the yamaha concert grand and weaves his magic.

2.5 hrs non stop, one man, one piano and nothing else but the weave of a master story teller and the musical genius that is Elton John.

Sure he may be an old, man loving he bitch, but boy can he sing and play that piano.

Wish you were there with me.

Electricity - Billy Elliot the Musical

I can't really explain it,
I haven't got the words
It's a feeling that you can't control
I suppose it's like forgetting, losing who you are
And at the same time something makes you whole
It's like that there's a music playing in your ear
And I'm listening, and I'm listening and then I disappear

And then I feel a change
Like a fire deep inside
Something bursting me wide open impossible to hide
And suddenly I'm flying, flying like a bird
Like electricity, electricity
Sparks inside of me
And I'm free I'm free

It's a bit like being angry,
it's a bit like being scared
Confused and all mixed up and mad as hell
It's like when you've been crying
And you're empty and you're full
I don't know what it is, it's hard to tell
It's like that there's a music playing in your ear
But the music is impossible, impossible to hear
But then I feel it move me
Like a burning deep inside
Something bursting me wide open impossible to hide
And suddenly I'm flying, flying like a bird
Like electricity, electricity
Sparks inside of me
And I'm free I'm free
Electricity, sparks inside of me
And I'm free, I'm free
I'm free. Free I'm free

I couldn't hear the song properly.
