Just felt like posting this thread as an excuse to post this song i listened to today! I've always thought it was one of his best:

Beautiful, thank you. Is there a favorite for me? They are all favorites. I have them on cassettes to show how long I've been a fan. Liked him way back with his parade of hats.

He suffered so when young. Like many others he could not be who he was, how nature made him. He has since become a staunch advocate. There is a long, long way to go for others like him.

Um, that one about Marilyn Monroe?  I wasn't gonna leave you hangin' here on your own fam since I noticed the topic/thread/i still dont know the correct term lols. But tbh, I really don't know many of his songs.

"Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled..."

These lyrics and others make me think of those I've met in the short duration I've been here. 

And tho it may seem some have overcome their issues, they still voluntarily and graciously stick around and gently help other when they can.  While many of us are still crawling..trying to get back on top of life like we deserve2b without these irrational fears or physiological disorders that remain untreated, these shining beacons of selflessness made Candle in the Wind the fav E. J. song that came to mind.

Even tho none of us have likely met, or likely will, similar to how Norma Jean came and went but made an impact enough in E.J.'s life to write a song about her is why this song came to mind in response to your topic, bc to me, it could directly relate to my experience so far with those I've met here.  Kinda lame, but there u have it Gen.

Hi JW2BW, kind thanks for the input.

Yeah, you're referring to the song 'Candle in the Wind'. Originally he sang it about Marylin Monroe, but in the UK its more associated with the late Princess Diana when he re-released it after her untimely death.  Like you i'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to E.J.'s songs, but as you suggest his songs do seem to strike a cord with people generally regardless.

Here's another one i was thinking of recently that i may as well take the opportunity post here!

Heartfelt video bro.  Made me think of the following video I'm going to try and add but idk if it will work like yours did or just show a link x.x 

The Lion King was the first of any Disney movie that kinda nipped my heart a bit. Well it and probably Fievel.  I felt so bad for lil' Simba in the (hopefully) following clip if it shows up all nice like yours did.  Not that the video has ANYTHING at all to do with E.J. lol but still... ej video with lionking=lionking and old memories....sorta.

After seeing what apparently is the real Lion King, I had to go back to EJ and the loving portrayal there. Thank you, GS.

My mom loved Elton John, and she always used to play "Your Song" in the car. That would by my favorite, too.

Sad Songs (Say So Much) used to play at work when I was working at a fast food restaurant in 2001, so I seem to have it ingrained in my brain
