Elton John – "Your Song" (1970)

2010/04/22


I'd like to dedicate this one to The Illustrious G. I'm still chuckling from the other day when she was yelling at me about the laundry baskets. An insufficient number of baskets were in the basement to receive the clean laundry because I had moved some of the empty ones upstairs to collect the dirty laundry. I went out the next day and purchased three new shiny baskets to alleviate her laundry woes. What is funny about it is later when I said she didn't need to "yell" at me about it she said "I was not yelling… I was explaining loudly." Too funny!

PS: If you haven't heard it, the cover version from the movie Moulin Rouge, sung by Ewan McGregor, is well worth a listen!

Steve Sharples – "Bolero (Closing Credits to Moulin Rouge)" (2001)

2009/03/30


This is my bonus song of the day from the closing credits of Moulin Rouge. When I first heard this I was very impressed and left wanting for more, but thus far there has been little I have heard similar to this sort of "industrial orchestral" sound. I love the two beat feeling created by the percussion, the way it speeds up as it progresses, and the build to the climax. Brilliant!

Unfortunately I cannot even find anything else composed by Steve Sharples. Googling produces 5,000,000 links to this song and nothing else. He is a ghost. If anyone knows of anything else composed by Steve Sharples, please let me know via the comments below.
