"Electricity" is one of the songs Elton John and lyricist Lee Hall wrote for the musical "Billy Elliot," a play based on the movie of the same name. Elton recorded a demo version, which was released as a downloaded single, and tied into a mobile text message competition. The song is a power ballad, featuring Elton's moving vocal and powerful piano playing. The lyrics deal with Billy's feelings when he's dancing.
"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."
The second song on this CD single is "Indian Sunset," which was originally on the 1971 album "Madman Across The Water." It's included because Eminem recently remixed Tupac Shakur's song "Ghetto Gospel" and added a chorus from "Indian Sunset." The first thing that stood out was Elton's voice, which was noticeably higher and stronger in his younger days. The piano and bass playing are outstanding, although the strings occasionally overpower them. The lyrics about the plight of the American Indian are heavy handed, which is understandable, given the subject matter. The two songs make for a unique CD single in Elton John's discography.
