Walk With Elias: A Review 

#3 Nothing I Can't Do

The song that reveals that Elias is more a musical virtuoso than simply a guitar player

The piano is haunting akin to something that may be played on a Type O Negative (respect to the late Peter Steele) album. It doesn't sound like anything we are used to from Elias and that's a good thing. He wants to keep us guessing and although he reveals himself more so than ever on his debut EP, he still shrouds himself in a veil of mystery.

Every great album has a song that takes the listener elsewhere, as an obvious departure from the rest of the record. The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band has A Day in the Life. Queen's A Night at the Opera has Bohemian Rhapsody.

Walk with Elias has Nothing I Can't Do, a song that reveals that Elias is more a musical virtuoso than simply a guitar player.

At first, listen, I thought that someone else likely played the piano; but, a recent WWE special documented that Elias indeed played piano revealing himself to be a multi-instrumental talent.

Nothing I Can't Do is Elias's great proclamation. He believes he has single-handedly changed the world of professional wrestling. If Elias' star continues to ascend this is a possibility; but, this lyrical revelation of self-importance once again reveals Elias' flirtation with the delusional.

With a Bon-Jovi-eque melody, Elias sings,

"I wrote this just to show you, there's nothing I can't do."

He's right. He's actually beginning to convince this listener that there is nothing he can't do, at least not musically.

The song comes to an abrupt halt; but, in typical heel fashion, Elias returns with,

"Bet you thought this song was over; but, it's over yet. In the presence of Elias, you will always be in debt."

The album, which is $2.99, is available via ITunes.

Then things get really weird. Elias goes into Ultimate Warrior territory with the following lyric,

"I hold the power of the wind in my fist, the keys to heaven and hell."

He is an artist with an obvious Messiah complex and that is revealed extensively in Nothing I Can't Do.
