Whispers
Look at me twice, with wildcat eyesIn Their Own Words
Elton John:
“And you know like some songs like Sacrifice, when I put the demo down to “Whispers”, they really sound…the old spine tingling feeling.” – 1989
Trivia
- Was originally announced as the 2nd single (which ended up being Sacrifice).
- One of the first songs completed on the album.
Technical Notes
- Originally demoed at Woodside prior to Puk Studios.
- Drum pattern may have originally been based on a preset pattern on the LinnDrum. If you listen closely, the hi-hat from the LinnDrum can be heard as the song fades.
