His new album is beautiful, the way Gone to Shiloh conveys the atmosphere of men going to war anticipating death is a masterpiece of lyrics and melodic music

[HyperboreanBrew]

This is one of many buried treasures by Captain Fantastic.

This song is in the movie "Oh heavenly dog" 1980 with Chevy Chase and beautiful Jane Seymour. I love this movie.

Hi You Tube, You certainly do have the best of the best....beyond the shadow of a doubt!!!!!!!!!!!

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

anyone remember or knew there was a picture disc releas of this album?

[doubts]

@TEMPmichaelhansen My mother was friends with the Watford [later England] manager Graham Taylor. He sent us a signed copy of the picture disc. It had Eltons and all the Watford team names on the sleeve. They were becoming a good team... and i took up the piano. Lovely song brings back great memories.

[downhomesunset]

And this is my fave Benji movie...I would sing this song all the time

[NamathTheLegend]

I had this album back in the fall of 1978 and THIS was my favorite song on the album. What memories.

[chuckmach1]

One of my favorite Elton John songs.  Very nice arrangement. It feels like on a tropical paradise island.

[downhomesunset]

same as me I was introduced to this song by "Oh Heavenly Dog"-I love Benji and Elton John

[thomsete777]

@downhomesunset exactly this is my story too ;-) - heard it first in the Benji movie...

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

@downhomesunset

Benji? did elton write a song for a benji movie?

[downhomesunset]

@TEMPmichaelhansen -he didnt write this specifically for "Oh Heavenly Dog' but it was used in it as well as "Song For Guy"-search for the film and watch the video that mentions an Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Veloce. The song starts about halfway through the video-it also plays "Song For Guy"

[Sarriesguy]

My favourite song from my childhood!

[angievedder]

Elton is part of a happy moment of my life, my teenage days !!! God bless him !

This album marked the beginning

of a decade long swoon for Elton as an

artist. Nowhere near the brilliance of

previous albums, he began to comeback

upon reunion with Taupin culminating with

"Songs from the West Coast", considered

by most critics (and discerning music

fans) to be his best album since Goodbye

Yellow Brick road.

[chapaev36]

@17865329 Meh, I don't much care for Elton's supposed "comeback". His new albums still have no soul; none of that energy his music used to have, none of that complexity. A Single Man, for me, is Elton's last good album. After that the real swoon began and never really ended.

[Msdistarr]

@chapaev36 I agree with you. Although you lasted longer than I did. He pretty much lost me after "Madman Across The Water". He had maybe 2 songs on each of the following 6 or 7 albums that I liked but it just wasn't the same. His albums "Elton John" and Tumbleweed Connection" were Masterpieces. It seemed to me that after those albums, he began to stray from the musical path he was on, which I find very sad. That music was brilliant. He is talented, just went a different direction.

class, absorlutely class

[dpurves28]

I remember hearing this song in the movie "Oh Heavenly Dog" years ago, and absolutely loving it. It took forever to find out what album it was on pre-Internet, but I finally did, and am happy to hear it here as well.

[jrbkkatl]

"oh heavenly dog " had another beautiful song by Elton called "song for guy." Parts of it play throughout the movie but I especialy love when it plays in the scene where Benji jumps in Jane Seymor's red convertible and they drive through the french countryside.

[wendys120]

@dpurves28 I second that!

[iminlovewtu09]

@dpurves28 it took me umpteen hours today to find who sung this song

[italianfl]

@iminlovewtu09 Shoulda just asked me, I knew lol

[shielakay]

@dpurves28 I loved that movie!

[Carguy2526]

nice song

[frensb]

love it

[thespermdonor]

Not classic Elton but still good to hear.
