With Gus Dudgeon's gorgeous production and Paul Buckmaster's string arrangements, EJ now had a team worthy of his music. "Your Song" remains the haunting love song of the ages. "Border Song" is a lush string-and-piano paean . "Sixty Years On" is a stirring narrative with frightening, sometimes unfathomable lyrics by Bernie Taupin. "First Episode on Hienton" is the only track that harkens back to EJ's first album, "Empty Sky." It is noteworthy for the eerie mellotron playing, and contains some of Bernie's most ambitious lyrics up to that time. Elton pulls some new tricks out of his hat with "No Shoe Strings on Louise", surprising listeners with an attempt at honky-tonk that only partially gels. "The King Must Die" is a comment on a monarch who is slowly but surely losing control of his reign, and frantically looks for a way to save his skin from those who are about to overthrow him.
