His undeniable talent aside, I'm of the opinion that a lot of his material on albums from 1986 up to and not including "Songs From the West Coast" all tend to sound vaguely similar. They're certainly "good" songs, but nothing about them is particularly remarkable and they all tend to come off as sounding like formulaic generic "late Elton John" material. He's made an earnest attempt at recapturing the magic of late, but there's no denying his salad days are behind him.
This song should have been included on an album and released as a single - it's one of Elton's best.
One of my favourite Elton songs. He's so amazing. His voice is so unique that nobody else can sound like him.
I just discovered this song. thank you for posting. Sounds like a mid-seventies Elton.
this is an absolute gem of a song,its so beutiful,just like everything he does.
I like the arrangement of this song - perfectly arranged to emphasize the lyrics.
Great work by Ray Cooper, it gives resonance and depth, love it! It is a wonderful arrangement.
This is another gem by the master
One of my all time favorite EJ ballads
Good tune. I miss the B-sides. Peachtree Road was the last record that had many great B-sides.

Another great non-album-B-side by Elton John. Also available on some copies of the "I'm Still Standing" single.

Lyrics by Taupin. US B-side of "Chloe".
this is a very nice song..
love elton
Great song.
one of the best of the rares
I never knew this song existed.
around the time of blue eyes
@sheebaridgeback Most of Elton's b-sides were that way.... Hey Papa Legba, Piano Version of Skyline Pigeon, Conquer The Sun.......
hello and thank you for sharing your expertise.
anyone know what album this one's from?
Actually recorded in 1979, during the "21 at 33/Fox" sessions. The verse melody's a bit awkward, but it's still a cool track.
If elton loses the weight he would look skrawgly
This song does absolutely nothing for me
sam powell you can't be a elton john fan if you don't like this song
