Madman across the Water (оригинал Elton John). Сумасшедший среди вод (перевод Алекс). I can see very well, Я очень хорошо вижу. There's a boat on the reef with a broken back. Лодку на рифе с пробитой кормой. Another glimpse of the Madman across the Water. Сумасшедший снова среди вод? The ground's a long way down but I need more, Земля далеко, но я хочу ещё. Is the nightmare black. Это мрачный ночной кошмар. Or are the windows painted.

Like its two predecessors, Madman Across the Water is driven by the sweeping string arrangements of Paul Buckmaster, who gives the songs here a richly dark and haunting edge. And these are songs that benefit from grandiose treatments.

Madman Across the Water barely reached on the UK Albums Chart, spending only two weeks there. It has been the lowest-charting album of his career to date. The album fared better in North America, peaking at on the US Billboard Top Pop Albums and placing at on the year-end list of 1972.

Described by Elton John himself as the very last album of its kind we’ll do, ‘Madman Across The Water’ continued his North American domination. Published on. May 23, 2019. Exponential success brought no let-up in Elton John’s diary in 1971. By November, it was time for the release of his fifth album in 18 months, and this after the little matter of a live album (17-11-70) and a film soundtrack (Friends) in the previous eight. But still the timeless melodies poured out of him, and trenchant lyrics from Bernie Taupin’s pen, on another vital entry in their early work together, Madman Across The Water. The album was – and to some extent remains – underappreciated in the UK, where its chart performance was inexplicably brief.
