Hello.
Hello.
Hello, I said hello.
Is this the only place you felt to go?
Am I the only man you ever had?
Or am I just the last surviving friend?
Hello.
Baby, hello.
Open up your heart & let your feelings flow.
You're not unlucky knowing me.
Keeping the speed real slow.

Hello.
You know what I mean. Have your eyes really sen?

From News.Com.Au: (July 2008)
"Elton John has proved to be more than a vocal champion for Sydney dance pop duo PNAU, earning his Rocket Man tag by blasting into action and signing the band to the London management company which oversees the superstar."

From The Guardian:  (July 2012)
"Australian dance duo Pnau have been mentored by Elton John for five years, and it's with his blessing that they have re-imagined his early '70s output by splicing together snippets of songs to create something wholly new and oddly affecting..."

 
Good to know.  Thanks Proclivities.  
 
Dance synth-pop that has me thinking of Pink Floyd.....    Why not?   
interesting enough
I want to hear it again.
 
Not bad.
Different, but still acceptable

Meh. How about actually playing Harmony?

 
How about them writing their own original music? 
I was just about to say "meh" too. San Franciscans must think alike.


Meh. How about actually playing Harmony?

Well, actually, two songs (Harmony and Love Song). I like both EJ songs and this one too. I'm really starting to appreciate this whole subjectivity thing. : )

 


Not for me . I`ve never really liked John .
MASHUPS ARE AWFUL
I'm okay with it. Wouldn't buy it, but it's interesting.
What a brilliant update on a classic!!

Indeed.
nope, it don't work, John was singing at a faster and different  tempo than the music and it became comical

Yes, it is:

Anything with a vs in the title will be quickly ignored by moi.  I abhor mashups, but to each their own.

I like it!
Questions abound: Do my eyes deceive me or do the reflections in his glasses vaguely resemble the design on Captain America's shield? 
Who in hell is Pnau?  Is this a mash up? Why is it "vs"? 
I began to feel comfortably numb when I heard the intro of this song ... {#Whisper}
EJ does Pink Floyd?

Safe to say "opinions are varied"?  ; )
Soon we will be dancing to Elton John at electronic music festivals, and the End of Times will be upon us.
i like it
Absolute butchery.
So much better than the original.
agree!
Well done. love the darkness conveyed in this version

Sorry, the original was much too good for this.  That was Elton's most amazing period.


No.
Thanks for ruining a fabulous song.
I love remixes generally speaking . This  remix mangles a truly great Elton John song .
Love this. {#Music}
Caught my attention right away... love really well done mash-ups. I tried uploading a bunch of (what i consider to be) really good ones a couple years ago, but they all got rejected and i gave up.
Love love love Harmony.  Been a huge fan since Don't Shoot Me came out.
And then 'do you know what I mean, Have your eyes really seen" from Love Song.

Interesting 
Sounds nice, but I can't stand the whole "vs." thing.  Dang kids these days.  
Wow..  haven't heard this song for a long time.  Interesting take on an old favorite from Yellow Brick Road.   Still prefer the original.
 The song is called "Harmony" and it's from the Yellow Brick Road album.  I wore that album out when I was in the 6th grade and it's because of this song that I swore if I ever had a daughter, I would name her Harmony.  Well, my sister-in-law beat me to the punch and I have a beautiful niece named Harmony!

cool take on this old classic..{#Cool}
It's a riddle:

I hate extended remixes,
and yet I love mashups.

Yes, remix.
I'm rather neutral about Elton's work.  But I find this interesting. I can't place the original tune but I like the treatment here. A little dark but overall well done.

Let's begin the rating of this Elton John song with a 10
from across the room my ear caught something I'd never heard before.. although it had a hint of familiarity ..   I had to look at the playlist, then smiled.   That was kinda cool !
