Well based on everyone's comments it looks like I'm the only Ledgie who loves this song.

What is the meaning of this song? Is it about an affair?

Anyone know if Stevie recorded her vocals in the studio with Elton?

I'd be very doubtful on that. Especially during these Covid times.

I have a friend in Nashville(he's in a band, so his name isn't a name you would recognize) who recorded a duet with Dolly Parton. When he told me, I was all, "oh god, what was she like in person?", etc...

Him- I didn't meet her. We recorded our parts at our own respective studios. What a let down. I always want to picture them singing into the same mic....

Did your friend play for Stevie when she recorded in Nashville April of 2014?

Eddie Vedder recorded with Elton in LA for this new Elton album. Maybe Stevie did go into a studio with Elton since she did go to Chicago in May 2020 to edit and all for her concert film.

No. He plays in a bluegrass band. That's something Dolly understands. I surely doubt Stevie does.

Maybe she did. Lord knows she's old school on this stuff.

Dolly put the time and effort in to become a musician. Dolly's a fine guitar player.

Stevie may be old school but she's got a staff

Dolly's the whole package. Stevie couldn't be bothered learnin' all them danged insterments. Seems like dating was her priority, back in the day.

Don't f*ck with her, she'll sick Karen on you!(I don't think there's ever been a Karen more appropriately named)

I haven't really studied this song to attempt to figure out its meaning.

My guess is the vocals were recorded separately. He at his studio, she at hers, or at home. It doesn't sound to me like they were in a room at the same time.

It talks of crime, secret, never tell, calling at 3 am to kill me one more time, and tattoos

I don't think Elton writes the lyrics, right?

I didn't love it but I do like it.

Just listening again this Lockdown Sessions album after long time, and remembered there was this duet. Cool song, not a favorite of mine but I liked it more than The Lighthouse or Show Them The Way. I suppose it would have sounded better with Stevie's 1997 voice. It was in good shape for The Dance, not to mention hers from the 70s or early 80s.
