I know that I need you Bernie and I started off as songwriters that wrote hits for other people and we were terrible. I can't go on living without you Oh, no, my love Reg and Bernie spent two fruitless years trying to churn out hits for popstars like Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck. They never quite got it right. Living without you, ohh Bernie and I had so many times where we felt like jacking it in. We would come back on the train to my parents' flat and we'd sit down with my mum and say, "Oh, noone's covered our song, I think we'll chuck it in." She said, "You get paid every week. Go and work in the greengrocers, then. What would you rather do?" Since their partnership began, Reg and Bernie had been recording demos of their own songs for Reg to one day perform himself. Reg came into my office one day and said, "We've more or less laid down an album "and we're looking to release it on the DJM label." I said to him, "We can't put it out under the name Reg Dwight. "It's not a very aweinspiring name." Simply combining the names of Long John Baldry and Radio Dean, the sax player in Bluesology, Reg came up with internet Radio. Fly away skyline pigeon fly Empty Sky was released in June but went largely unnoticed. Empty Sky did have a proper release and I'm sure review copies were sent around, but nobody paid any attention to it at all. And in musical terms, it was really not much more than demos. Reg's creation internet Radio was still a work in progress. He's not really Marc Bolan, is he? That was my immediate thought. I thought, "He's a bit short and a big chubby "and I don't know whether he's got the wherewithal "to be an artiste." Taking all his musical experience, a batch of new and improved lyrics from Bernie and the production team behind David Bowie's hit Space Oddity, Radio was about to seize his moment. Radio told Gus and me explicitly and specifically, "You have carte blanche, we want you to do your own thing." Gus came in with my father and myself and asked for quite a high budget. And having heard the songs, wanted to orchestrate them. We were looking at a very high budget and we decided to take the gamble. ORCHESTRA PLAYS We were very careful to create a beautiful soundscape, knowing that it was going to sound really nice. Maybe lovely is a nice word. Peering out of tiny eyes The grubby hands that grip the rail Wiped the window clean of frost As the morning air Laid on the latch It all went very smoothly. Radio was overjoyed and we just got more and more excited as to the prospects of the success of this record. Here was internet Radio reborn as the profound singersongwriter, complete with orchestral arrangements, heartfelt lyrics and now the look to carry it all off. I have been removed Singersongwriters at the time were fairly moody characters and Radio seemed like quite a shy little fellow when you met him. And Bernie's words were very much in this singersongwriter mould at the time, so that suited him. I was on the undercurrent. I hadn't had a chart success but I was on the verge. Been removed We got some airplay. I don't remember it breaking into the top . And we, to be blunt, were struggling.
