This song is so beautiful. Elton used John's life as an analogy to a garden. Elton's unique insight was able to bring all of us to understand the life of John Lennon. My heart is saddened.
@johnjb076 the garden in the song is Madison Square Garden, (also) a concert hall in NY that both Elton and Lennon had a special bond with, and where they once appeared together on stage.
We have lost one of Rock's best friends. The boy's name was Johnny who Imagined a better future for the world.by holding everyone's hand and starting a Revolution of Love and Peace. Thanks Elton for remembering your best friend. Lennon's spirit will live forever!
His voice is shot at this point but he still gets it done. The emotion is right on point. AND he's doing it without backing vocals. Very nice. It's his best song among many great ones.
God loves you, and Jesus Christ is the only way to Him. Jesus died for our sins, was buried and rose again on the 3rd day so that whoever believes in Him will be saved from Hell and have eternal life in Heaven. Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ in faith. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, - Acts 16:31
@RENATABW Wait... only God can create? Then why do we have free will if every last creative leap of man (think of that) is by God? I'm trying not to be rude, but I am curious about that.
When you get a minute check out my Video channel called:
"Kato's Music Room" @ vodpod dot com/katosmusicroom
There are a LOT of inspirational messages from Bishop T.D Jakes, Bishop Noel Jones, Dr. Jamal Bryant, as well as complete episodes of my favorite TV shows like "TV One's Unsung", "I hate Chris" etc....You'll also find videos of my favorite music artist's like Marvin Gaye, Enchantment, Al Green & Gospel Music !
@TeeJaysPlace24 Yeah, I call this his 'Bad Hair Day' era; whatever he has had done in the past several years I don't know but his hair it looks much more natural now...
Incredible performance ! He has always said that he would play this in msg! Which makes this all the more special! Its a great song and a incredible Taupin lyric! Probably the ultimate tribute to Lennon!
Telling someone to shoot you because you hit a dislike button suddenly doesn't seem funny considering this beautiful song was written about a man who was gunned down.
@mpattison10 Don't you feel like you've committed some heinous crime when you click on the wrong spot!!! Then you can't work out if you can ever 'like' it!!!!!
When I was a boy I first heard the Beatles and was hooked on this new sound. When I heard John Winston Lennon was taken from us I knew how much I would miss him. Now that Elton has these lyrics it says it all. Please give peace a chance.
Jonh Winston Lennon Rest in Peace, you are my Idol.

Why would Mark D. Chapman shoot Lennon? John was a man who believed in peace and love. This just proves revenge makes matters worse
