Elton John - Song For Guy

Oct 22, 2011 - What a beautiful tune. I love the simplicity of it. Upper chordal dominant 8th, dominant 5th and ...... I play this on guitar the same way, and I can't work it out 100%!! Elton has a particular formula. He is a musical and vocal genius. My wife and I named our Chihuahua after him.

Nov 24, 2011 - Perhaps the lyrics were "Life, is a temporary thing". Perhaps Claude, since there, can clarify the lyrics. G'head. The music is wonderful; all you guys so "tight" with Elton, do tell. Whatever the end lyrics are are Elton's, and seriously, girls, get over yourselves. Many interpretations of few lyrics; and seriously, nothing has a thing to do with you.

Jan 1, 2012 - @HendrucIf not it can be classed as the longest intro to a song ever.I;m not being pedantic,But the 18th of August 1978, fell on a Friday,The reason I say is that it was 7 Days before My 18th birthday,What a Weekend that was.Nowadays I celebrate My birthday;s with much more sobriety!

Feb 10, 2012 - This song was about a messenger boy called Guy who died on his way to work at the time Elton was writing this melody. Amazing piece of music.

Feb 29, 2012 - Eddie, a good friend, had a drug and drink problem, sorted himself out, got a job, was accepted to a course for pilots, and then lost at sea with his four shipmates on his last fishing trip, his parents and all of us buried and empty coffiin. Always loved this piece of music and will always be remembered as long as his friends remember him.

Mar 6, 2012 - Well that only goes to prove that you shouldn't let a drug addict become a pilot. I could have told you that would happen...

HarrysSecret Says:

Mar 6, 2012 - I have to agree, but must point out that risk takers are usually the most interesting people to know (if only for a short while)Do you feel like you lost out by not going to pilot school?

HitMeQuick Says:

Mar 7, 2012 - It could never happen. I have a heart condition that prevents me from doing anything remotely stressful. Right now in fact I am being gently fanned by a be-panted Indian youth to prevent a bout of the vapours.

HarrysSecret Says:

Mar 7, 2012 - Oh I used to have one of those. Have you tried putting your aching feet onto their bellies as you sleep? It's a tried a tested cure for all manner of ailments.

HitMeQuick Says:

Mar 7, 2012 - I just have. That was 8 hours of wonderful rest, thankyou.
