I can still see him playing it at Diana's service.

To me he is possibly one of the greatest musicians that has ever lived.....I could listen to him everyday and sometimes do. When I am in my stamping studio I listen to his smooth mellow voice...it makes a difference in the way my cards turn out! I swear it does!

"Daniel" is my favorite. I also like the songs he sang for The Lion King, "Circle of Life" and the duet he did with Leann Rhimes, "Written in the Stars".

Daniel would be my favorite song, but I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues runs a close second. I've always been a big fan of Elton John. Unfortunately, there aren't many musicians today that can actually be called artists when it comes to their lyrics, like Elton John and the rest of his generation of musicians could be.

my favorite has to be tiny dancer...i have no idea why, but i can't help but wanting to sing along...
Here are the lyrics for it:
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums
But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can't hear me
When I say softly, slowly
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

"Your song" I think that is my favorite one in my heads.

"We All Fall in Love Sometime" off the Yellow Brick Road album. It is such a beautiful song and my thought is that it is somewhat auto biographical. When Elton and Bernie were colaborating, Elton admitted that he had a major crush on Bernie. Bernie is straight, but I'm thinking that he might have known of Elton's feelings. Then again, it might just be my romantic nature. Unrequited love and all that. LOL
"Did we
didn't we
could we
should we
I'm not sure cause sometimes
we're so blind
struggling through the day
when even your best friends say
don't you find
we all fall in love sometimes"

I love the video for "I'm Still Standing". It was so fun.

That's certainly one of my favorite; you described it perfectly and I agree totally. There are so many good Elton John songs and they're not all the same, like with some artists where if you've heard one you've heard them all. I have to say two of my favorites are two of the older songs - "Your Song" and "Blue Eyes". "Your Song" is one of the most beautiful simple love songs ever written, in my opinion.

My favourite is "Your Song"...I'm moved by its simplicity and heart-felt words...the best line - "how wonderful life is while you're in the world"....

I love Elton John's songs. Circle of Life from the movie Tarzan; the song he's written for Princess Diana, Candle In The Wind; "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" always brings me back in the old times when i used to hear that song in our old house every Sunday afternoon, and Daniel, one of his best song ever.

My favorite is Skyline Pigeon and the lyrics below will tell you why.
Turn me loose from your hands
Let me fly to distant lands
Over green fields, trees and mountains
Flowers and forest fountains
Home along the lanes of the skyway
For this dark and lonely room
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
And my eyes are mirrors
Of the world outside
Thinking of the way
That the wind can turn the tide
And these shadows turn
From purple into grey
For just a Skyline Pigeon
Dreaming of the open
Waiting for the day
He can spread his wings
And fly away again
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
Towards the dreams
You've left so very far behind
Just let me wake up in the morning
To the smell of new mown hay
To laugh and cry, to live and die
In the brightness of my day
I want to hear the pealing bells
Of distant churches sing
But most of all please free me
From this aching metal ring
And open out this cage towards the sun

Yellow Brick Road. When I first heard it as a kid I played it over and over and over again til I got sick of it! i don't know what it is about it but it just carries you. I also love Your Song. It's so beautiful. Elton's songwriter Bernie is such a talented composer. And Elton is a great artist too. That's real quality music there.
