Sitting here in my (little) 'man cave come office I am really appreciative of the quiet (people-less quiet) before the festive family and friends onslaught from Monday onwards. So I put on some relaxing tunes from yesteryear and I choose to share a few with my Hivian friends.
Love him or loathe him, Elton John's music has depth .... for me hard to explain what I mean. Even the simple melodies seem to have substance. (HELP 
I was a mere lad of thirteen years old and was still mourning the sudden passing of my mother when this next track. Has very strong emotional memories .... I can listen to it over and over...
What a voice, what a composition...
I know every generation thinks their music was 'the best decades' ...but to my mind late 60's to late 80's ... maybe even into the 90's (think Nirvana, Green Day U2 ) the music was phenomenal. A far richer diversity in genre's , exploring boundaries than previously and thereafter
Just my 5c worth.
For me the only version of this song ...... love it.
{sigh} Okay, off to the real world now... have some gifts I still need to wrap.
Happy holidaze all .... may it be a blessed time with your loved ones and close friends.
