A lovely piece of music. Elton John plays it beautifully and it's sooo relaxing to just close your your eyes and let your mind drift while his plays quietly in the background.

I first heard this as a teenager and forgot about it for a few years until I caught it on the radio one day and then went out and bought the vinyl (yes I'm that old) and I still play this when I just need to let stress drift away. Awesome image to go with it too. Nice post Chester Thanks

The song was written for Guy the Gorilla who lived his entire life in captivity in a zoo, but it was dedicated to the employee who died in a car accident. Still a beut of a song.

I knew a chap, Matthew and he played this on his accoustic guitar and won a prize in a music contest. I plyed this on my trumpet a year later in another music contest. I was told not to compete again.
