Song For Guy - Elton John (1978) FLAC Remaster HD 1080p

Song For Guy was release by Elton John on his 12th studio album, A Single Man, in the fall of 1978. This was one of those records that very little ever stuck from (even today as a fairly huge Elton John fan, I would be hard pressed to recall the melody of any track besides the three that I know well ("Part-Time Love", "Song For Guy"...and the b-side "Ego"). However though it did have some forgettable music, it very nearly completely redeemed itself with it's closing track. This incredibly moody, mostly instrumental track was one of those songs that you just wanted to go on and on....I know I did more than my share of picking up and droppin' down back in the day.

I have a big chunk of started videos for Elton John tracks and decided to try and get a couple out. The two I've finished are more obsure tracks, but they've always been special for me. I hope they are for you as well!
FROM WIKI:
Elton said this in the sleeve notes of the 7" single:

"...As I was writing this song one Sunday, I imagined myself floating into space and looking down at my own body. I was imagining myself dying. Morbidly obsessed with these thoughts, I wrote this song about death. The next day I was told that Guy (Burchett), our 17 year-old messenger boy, had been tragically killed on his motorcycle the day before. Guy died on the day I wrote this song."[1]
The song opens with an octaved solo piano. Shortly after the intro, a percussion section comes in, with additional wind chimes and synthesizers layered in as the melody repeats. The song is instrumental until the end, in which the line ' "Life isn't everything" 'is repeated over the primary melody line of the song.

It stands as one of the few songs written by John alone.

As always HUGE THANKS to everyone who's art contributed to this new art....THANK YOU!!!!
