String Quartet String Quartet - Level 4 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.901024
By Elton John. By Bernie Taupin and Elton John. Arranged by Andrea Natale. Pop,Rock. Score and parts. 24 pages. Real Xmas Self Publishing #3452197. Published by Real Xmas Self Publishing (A0.901024).It comes from the 1995 album Made in England (of which it is the last track). It is basically a song from the rhythm of a bossanova, slow and quiet, well separated from the previous song (the eclectic Lies). The melody has tonal changes and is based on Elton's piano. Bernie's text talks about a man who wants to have a baby and begins to "daydream" in his head about what his father's future might be like. Specifically, it is one of the very few autobiographical texts written by Bernie (not related to the Elton-Bernie couple but only to himself), since at that time it was he himself who wanted a child.
Blessed was published as a single at the end of 1995 (in the United Kingdom it was later withdrawn); he holds a # 34 USA and a Canadian # 3. It was also included in the famous 1996 Love Songs compilation; it is therefore a quite famous piece of Elton John in the Nineties, although it has never been a standard for rockstar concerts. Among the few performances of the piece, we remember the performance at Flamengo Stadium in Rio de Janeiro in front of over 60,000 people (1995) and that at the Mediolanum Forum in Milan, during a very rare concert with Ray Cooper (2009... I was there!): on this occasion, Blessed has been united with Carla Etude.
