Elton John - Candle in the Wind (Yellow Brick Road 2 of 21) video free download

I just watched the Grammy Tribute to Elton John last night.....and I'm here because I hadn't felt this inspired by music for some time. I was so excited to have my heart remember what real music is about. .....Elton John/Bernie Taupin. The likes of which we may never see again ;) I'm 50 this year, and have felt lost musically ....and all I had to do was click my heals and 'go home!' Lol /

Does anyone notice on the album cover, that Elton is tearing away the poster to Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player?

Goodbye Norma JeanThough I never knew you at allYou had the grace to hold yourselfWhile those around you crawledThey crawled out of the woodworkAnd they whispered into your brainThey set you on the treadmillAnd they made you change your nameAnd it seems to me you lived your lifeLike a candle in the windNever knowing who to cling toWhen the rain set inAnd I would have liked to have known youBut I was just a kidYour candle burned out long beforeYour legend ever didLoneliness was toughThe toughest role you ever playedHollywood created a superstarAnd pain was the price you paidEven when you diedOh the press still hounded youAll the papers had to sayWas that Marilyn was found in the nudeAnd it seems to me you lived your lifeLike a candle in the windNever knowing who to cling toWhen the rain set inAnd I would have liked to have known youBut I was just a kidYour candle burned out long beforeYour legend ever didGoodbye Norma JeanThough I never knew you at allYou had the grace to hold yourselfWhile those around you crawledGoodbye Norma JeanFrom the young man in the twenty second rowWho sees you as something more than sexualMore than just our Marilyn MonroeAnd it seems to me you lived your lifeLike a candle in the windNever knowing who to cling toWhen the rain set inAnd I would have liked to have known youBut I was just a kidYour candle burned out long beforeYour legend ever didYour candle burned out long beforeYour legend ever did

I always thought of Elton John as my soul brother since we share the same birthday. He was borm March 25, 1947 and I was born March 25, 1957. It is so cool to share a birthday with an amazing singer and pianist as Elton.

As a Kid back in the Early 70's I did not know this Song was about Marilyn but felt Sad for Her, who ever she was. It made me Cry before I even know what Heartbreak was really all about.

Elton and Bernie are every bit as much a genius as any musician you can name in the modern era.

Many people think of this song as a tribute to Marilyn Monroe since the lyrics begin with “Goodbye Norma Jean.” However, Bernie Taupin was originally inspired by a quote he read about Janis Joplin and he describes the lyrics as more of a take on fame and celebrity than an ode to Marilyn. He has said that the song could have just as easily been about James Dean, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Sylvia Plath, or Virginia Woolf. The essence of the song is about any “writer, actor, actress, or musician who died young and sort of became this iconic picture of Dorian Gray, that thing where they simply stopped aging. It's a beauty frozen in time.”

A poignant song about a misunderstood actress.
