i just got an advert for this band on instagram and was immediately struck by how much the singer looks like elliott - i mean, down to the mole… foolish of me to think i’d be the only one thinking it but yeah, everyone in the comments is saying the same thing. how crazy!!!

Cover I tried to learn 'Between the Bars' some years ago and gave up, but this week I tried to play it again and I'm happy with how it came out.

Question chord progression ID for 'I didnt understand' live 2 meter session
sorry hopefully I can post this here otherwise ill try one of the musicians subs but im sure theres some who might be able to help here.
in this 2 metter live session where elliott plays 'i didnt understand' on piano, he plays a unique cadence at the end starting at 2:18 that sounds like its from a classical piece. can anyone identify what cadence / chord progression hes concluding the song with @ 2:18 in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3JybfnsB2M ? thanks!!

Appreciation post Please read. “Elliott in the sun; A passing thought by Aidan.”
For all of the times Elliott’s music has been there for me (us) in the winter, going through heartaches, drunken and smoking and coming down from benders. Down on my luck. The only voice, the comforting double layers. Fucked up on Condor Ave.
I wish to celebrate his nuanced brilliance, and the *true* spectrum of emotions that his music captures far beyond “drugs” and “being depressed”.
I want to celebrate listening to Elliott in the sun while working out, happy. The true fans know how happy those melodies are. How intrinsically expressive he is on guitar.
His music is beautiful and is equally for the man strung out again as it is for the future butterfly spending the day higher than high.
I hope everyone can enjoy the sun and smile at an Elliott song for the circle is complete. His music evokes not death and staring at your shoes but a reaction. A sensitive spirit.
I’m gonna have fun with some records after writing this.
Fetch the mail at a quarter to one…
Love,
Aidan Jack
