Goodbye yellow brick road - ELTON JOHN

Các bạn nghe thử bài này của ELTON JOHN. Trong bài EJ đã sử dụng chuyển cung xa và kết tránh (Deceptive cadence) để chuyển đoạn, vì vậy khi nghe bài nhạc, chúng ta có cảm giác đầy màu sắc. Nhạc thì đã vậy, còn lời thì rất sâu sắc. Các bạn nghe thử.

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
