You found someone to guardian,- to guardian from a distance (one step behind them). You saw their enthusiasm for life, yet watched as they fell into despair. And you say to yourself." you (the other person) is a long way from the happiness, that I know of them;" I can see this.But how do they learn to recover from the despair into which life may cast us, if we are supply to much intervention Can I help you from a distance, yet, we can not rely to much upon the DIVINITY (Divine Intervention).
I love this. A better and more fitting arrangement, I think, than the studio version. I really think Elton needs nothing more than himself and his piano to shine, but of course I may be a bit biased, seeing as my Elton playlist is called "Elton John is God!" :-D
He is also one of the few who's albums are not dubbed to hell and back. He sounds the same and usually better in concert. I've seen him 14 times. Concert ticket prices are outrageous these days, and even more so with the likes of TicketMaster.
Elton is the only person I will pay a couple hundred to go and see. He turns out a 3+ hour concert and ALWAYS doing an encore. Never lip syncing and always amazing on that piano!
Awesome song, one of my fave Elton ones. Also, great to hear from Bernie Taupin and hear some insight into his great lyrics :) going to see Elton in Manchester later this month!!! WOOOOOHOOOOO!
Oh, never saw this video before, thank you very much!!! The most beautiful song from the "Big picture" album

@Demonboy121 it means that you think you've got what makes you happy in life, but you're wrong: you're a long way from happiness.

This song and Recover Your Soul are two of the best Elton songs I've heard. The Big Picture's by far the best album.

No you're dead on!
Elton is one of very few who can do that.
He is also one of the few who's albums are not dubbed to hell and back. He sounds the same and usually better in concert. I've seen him 14 times. Concert ticket prices are outrageous these days, and even more so with the likes of TicketMaster.
