i heaerd three dog nights version first. it is incredible. i do like elton's too, but three dog night make it sound like it was their song all along!!!!
@samanthaEd900 I think it's about a ghost or maybe just a recluse who has had tales told about her that she's some kind of monster, but she's actually gentle and harmless.
This is was Elton John's best early work which no doubt within the next Five years Elton would conquer the music world throughout the 1970's he is still one of the best singer songwriters around but duting that period 1970-75 he was at his creative peak.
@mbrand19971 Yes that period was incredible- so many great songs in such a short space of time. If he'd condensed them into just one album a year, the albums would all be worshipped now. He was almost too prolific for his own good. His latest album The Union is superb, his best since the mid 70s
talento que não vemos mais na juventude de hoje, o que aconteceu com a musica mundial??? Elton é exemplo
mito, genio, é um exemplo pra toda uma geração. sou fã incondicional deste artista sem igual. sou brasileiro, tivemos grandes genios da musica, mas hoje ela
Not only is my name in a song, but its by ELTON JOHN!!!!
I love you mom :) Giving me this name is the best thing you've ever done for me XD

The amazing thing is that Bernie would hand Elton the lyrics and he would put music to it in less than an hour. They were amazing song writers.

When "stuff" from Elton and Bernie that most folks have NEVER ever heard of is way better than popular "stuff" from other folks...
...it just shows what genius these two blokes possessed.

One of Elton's best songs in my opinion but never sold too well. Go figure.

I agree this is a very good song. But since he was an unknown at the time this song was recorded, it never had a chance
