Between Seventeen And Twenty

Elton John

Transposer:

Author’s Note - Great track from the double album "Blue Moves" 1976 - https://youtu.be/mlIxJlgkLf4 [Intro] x8 [Verse 1] I wonder who’s sleeping in your sheets tonight Whose head rests upon the bed Could it be a close friend I knew so well Who seems to be so close to you instead close to you instead [Verse 2] I’m blue tonight I’m red when I’m mad I’m green when I’m jealous yellow when I’m sad I guess I cannot have everything So much has flown between the years when I was twenty and you were seventeen [Chorus] So out of choice I chose rock and roll But it pushed me to the limit everyday It turned me into a gypsy kept me away from home From there on there seemed no use for you for you to stay [Verse 3] And if I shower around 3 a.m it’s just to wash away The trace of a love unwanted. Oh in the times I went astray the times I went astray [Chorus] So out of choice I chose rock and roll But it pushed me to the limit everyday It turned me into a gypsy kept me away from home From there on there seemed no use for you for you to stay [Instrumental] x3 [Verse 4] I’m blue tonight I’m red when I’m mad I’m green when I’m jealous yellow when I’m sad I guess I cannot have everything So much has flown between the years when I was twenty and you were seventeen [Outro] Wha-oh wha-oh wha-oh wha-oh wha-oh wha-oh So much has flown between the years When I was twenty oh and you were seventeen Wha-oh wha-oh wha-oh wha-oh wha-oh wha-oh So much has flown between the years When I was twenty oh and you were seventeen Wha-oh wha-oh wha-oh wha-oh wha-oh wha-oh So much has flown between the years When I was twenty oh and you were seventeen

Cette chanson évoque la nostalgie des relations tumultueuses, entre amour perdu et choix de vie. Le protagoniste se demande qui partage sa vie maintenant, se remémorant des sentiments d'attachement et de jalousie, tout en reconnaissant que ses choix, comme celui de poursuivre une carrière musicale, l'ont éloigné de ceux qu'il aime. Le passage entre la jeunesse et l'âge adulte est marqué par des émotions vives, montrant combien les années peuvent transformer une simple connexion en un souvenir lointain et douloureux. Les couleurs mentionnées symbolisent ses états d'âme, reflétant la complexité des sentiments traversés.
