If not it can be classed as the longest intro to a song ever.
I;m not being pedantic,But the 18th of August 1978, fell on a Friday,The reason I say is that it was 7 Days before My 18th birthday,What a Weekend that was.
Nowadays I celebrate My birthday;s with much more sobriety!

Always loved this. I always seem to listen to it round Christmas time, don't know why

It's clear you think this is amusing. One would wonder why. Ask your Mom and Dad. They created your miserable self.

Perhaps the lyrics were "Life, is a temporary thing". Perhaps Claude, since there, can clarify the lyrics. G'head. The music is wonderful; all you guys so "tight" with Elton, do tell. Whatever the end lyrics are are Elton's, and seriously, girls, get over yourselves. Many interpretations of few lyrics; and seriously, nothing has a thing to do with you.

What a beautiful tune. I love the simplicity of it. Upper chordal dominant 8th, dominant 5th and ...... I play this on guitar the same way, and I can't work it out 100%!! Elton has a particular formula. He is a musical and vocal genius. My wife and I named our Chihuahua after him.

Le piano est le plus bel instrument de musique.

Guy Burchett was a messenger for Elton's label, Rocket Records. According to reviewer Claude Bernadin, Elton wrote and recorded this piece on the afternoon of Sunday, August 18, 1978. He had felt it was a song about death, and only learned the next day that Guy had been killed that very afternoon in a motorcycle accident.
Although it has words - "Life... Isn't ever-y-thing" - this Elton John composition can rightly be classed as an instrumental.
