Original Sin (Elton John song)
"Original Sin" is a slow song with a sweet and melancholy melody focused on Elton's piano playing and featuring Rusty Anderson on guitars and producer Patrick Leonard on keyboards.The singer implies the relationship as an original sin because even though he loved his wife very much, he wasn't being true to himself and his attractions.[1] As John stated on his marriage to Blauel, "She was the classiest woman I’ve ever met, but it wasn’t meant to be."[2] Released in 2002 (on a promo-only basis in the United States), the single had limited commercial success; it reached #39 in the UK and #18 in the US adult contemporary music chart.The storyline of the video talks about a lonely girl who daydreams about seeing Elton John in concert during the 1970's where she meets an array of celebrities from that era.
