Candle in the Wind

“Candle in the Wind” (Live version)

🕯️ Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" - the 1973 ballad that became the ultimate tribute song! 🌟 This isn't just a pop song - it's Elton's heartbreaking ode to Marilyn Monroe that touched millions. That piano? Pure emotion. Bernie Taupin's lyrics? Poetic perfection. Fun fact: The song was originally written about Marilyn Monroe but was famously reworked in 1997 as "Candle in the Wind 1997" for Princess Diana's funeral, becoming the best-selling single of all time. When Elton sings "Goodbye Norma Jean," you can feel the raw emotion. The original version helped establish Elton as one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Plus, that melody? Pure ballad perfection. 💔✨
