Usually I hear the drum machine and the flanger effect and the percussion and think the song is overcooked.
Last night though, I was able to feel more absorbed in my drawing and for a brief moment forgot where I was.
Interesting to read just now that Elton wrote in the liner notes for the single:
"... As I was writing this song one Sunday, I imagined myself floating into space and looking down at my own body."
Last night I had a dream about having an out of body experience.
