The poll results obviously indicate that the human brain - even the vastly superior minds that are WAS fans - could not conceive of how good a WAS PB would be, and rejected the notion out of fear of the unknown. Now that we have this magnificent proof of concept, a revisit to the polls would surely yield the correct response of 100% in favour.
I admit to being a little surprised that this song holds up reasonably well in stripped down form. Of course, now I want to hear Keith sing it when he has a cold....
Yeeaah, loved that! Concerned by the poll results though; 88% think power ballads don't suck, but 56% don't want you to record some? Whaaat? I'd take that as a challenge to prove them wrong, don't give up on "these dreams" 🙏to Crom
Wow! That narrative took some surprise turns! Great song though. If you are going to cover a power ballad, this is a strong choice imo. It’s definitely perked up what has been a pretty dank day so far. I had never really considered Bernie Taupin’s existence outside of his writing partnership with Elton John so that was interesting. I also particularly enjoyed the knifed tyre illustration and accompanying caption. Thank you for making me laugh.
This is another one that honestly gets better with each listen. It’s a beautiful version of the original. Thank you.
I think maybe more of this series should feature songs by female vocalists. Other than the REM cover, which I will never stop raving about, those have definitely been my favourites.
Incase you're conducting research, I read this bespectacled.

It is indeed lugubrious in London. Thanks for the aural tea. And for teaching me a new word.

Another excellent Ape; one of the best yet! Bravo!
This missive is particularly unhinged and I thank you for it from the bottom of my Heart.
