Elton John is one of the most successful solo musicians in modern times. A virtuoso pianist, his songs are well written and the hit singles are unforgettable from the times when i heard them as a child. Some of my favourites are Nikita, I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues, Daniel, Sad Songs Say So Much, Sacrifice, Healing Hands, The One, The Club At The End Of The Street and Empty Garden.Sacrifice must go down as one of the best ballads i have ever heard. Meaningful and soothing, a classic song no less.
Empty Garden is a song written for John Lennon at the time when he was murdered. A poignant song that evokes so much emotion whenever i hear it.
Abbey my car turns one month old today and i have been listening to a lot of Elton John while driving since. The songs makes for a great listen driving through the streets in the quiet morning to work and cruising through the highways under the street lights at night.
I am having the time of my life.
'And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate world' - Sacrifice
