Lyrics Dear Elton - Commentary - Delta Goodrem

When bringing dear Elton to live sonically
You'll hear how important the piano sound was
It was about going to different studios and choosing a piano
This piano to be able to play that bridge that, the instrumental
Was so important, on what notes were played, having an ode Elton John
But still being very much who I am as a piano player, so there was a mix between the two

If you listen closely to the track, you'll hear
Layers upon layers of my friends who were in the studio and us doing a vibe track
Now vibe track is when there's just a bit of music playing
But you just start like cheering and "woo, yeah"
So between Mark, Renee, Marla, myself, we were all in there
Just whistling and in the bridge you'll hear us all cheering like it's complete chaos
And one of my favourite memories on this song

Actually was when Marla and I were sitting there
Doing the very last part of the bridge, the "ooh-ooh-ooh"
We were doing these Opera sounds, and every time we'd have to hold it
Honestly, I laugh thinking about it now, because we were layering upon layering
And we'd go, "Should we do another layer?", it goes "ooh-ooh-ooh"
And we'd both have to hold and if one of us didn't we'd have to do it again

So, it made us laugh so much
So have a listen to the chaos in that there's order but there's
I loved the amount of chaos with the tempo changes leading into that bridge
And then just having my friends all a part of it, us just making a lot of noise
