I remember this song got a lot of airplay when it came out back in early 1993 but now you never hear this song on the radio anymore which sucks, I thought this was a great song, it didn't get quite as much airplay as the Lion King soundtrack tunes
The ether of brilliance and freedom that fills the upper regions of space flows freely from a liberated heart and a razor sharp mind. Beautifully expressive, a talent this remarkable represents a detour from the mediocre and the mundane. Elton John makes great music as effortlessly as most people breathe. Give this gift as freely as Elton does - give it to your children - give it to all the people of the earth!
I agree this is not only his best song but also he provided advice at a time I had massive stress and was looking for an answer. I always find it amazing that I find the best advice in music when I am looking for it.
@garycalgary Amazing world. You had massive stress and found the answer in Elton John. Some find the answer in God. I found mine in Grey Goose with a twist!
hello seems to be drawn to this type of music is a sin but anyway i wrote about this at a point when there was nothing but sin around the words are touching but too crontradictarary hope it was understood today seems to be a very complicated day and to look back on this type of music is pissing me off so anyway just thought id say that goodae

oh fk up andreaycarol!! Speak in english - no-one knows what the fk your saying.. ! BoiOla! and wot u talkin bout gay so much for..? you got 2 names that are womens names.. andrea.. and carol.. Ya fag! lol
This was one of his best. He had a bad period in the late 70's and 80's when his songs sounded forced and some of them were just plain awful. But his early work, and then THIS -- this was a terrific comback for him in terms of reminding me how good he really was.
this is the far most #1 c d he ever made and i love all his music too . he has more talent in one finger than most artist have to day. long live Elton John.
hi pretty touchy the issue of homosexuality i believe gay people must like it but for me it reminds me of northern exposure tv show kind of indian and sort of peacful to sleep to haha
I would say that this is the most awesome song ever, but that would fall shot of the fact that every and any song Elton John every wrote is the most awesome ever.
exllent exellent elton john really imiss his days but now adays no body seeing him or playing in channels any more any way ihope to see him again , always in my dreams .
why do i like this song???????????!!!!!! two of my buddies were in England and walked into a McLaren dealer to look at the F1 McLaren car back in 96? and this song was playing in the dealership, they videoed it.
and ELTON IS STILL SO YOUNG AND COOL. gianny versace designed the cover for the album and you can see his design elements on the background of the cube
it's been a long time since he made a MAJOR hit, songs from the west coast was somewhat close to be a hit album. Peachtree road was ....not that good really, cowboy and the kid is boring AND GUESS WHAT - MAY BE U R RIGHT AND THE ALBUM "THE ONE" WAS HIS LAST MAJOR HIT
Not that I'm one to judge how good a song is by how much it sells, but one could say that the last mega seller was "Goodbye England's Rose", along with the accompanying single, "The Way You Look Tonight", which is from the album "The Big Picture".
I thought Elton John had some great songs during the late 70s to the 80s but his work from that era wasn't as consistent as his early/mid 70s work
