------ About the song The Measure Of A Man performed by Elton John

Its an expression of a million feelings,both of the victim and the on-looker. The measure of a man, a song like a legend worthy of being handed down from generation to generation;especially at those ceremonies/rituals whereby teens are turned to men. Dignifying song!

------ About the song Ticking performed by Elton John

The Elton John song "Ticking" haunted me for days when I first heard it almost forty years ago. The Sandy Hook massacre of 20 children brought it back into memory. So I listened to it on U-tube, and felt it as deeply as long ago.
In reading the lyrics "....oh you danced in death like a marionette on the vengeance of the law", I saw that I'd always heard it as "...in the vengeance of the Lord..."
Both are powerful images:
'The vengeance of the law' is deep and final.
'The vengeance of the Lord' is eternal._

------ About the song Ticking performed by Elton John

when i first learned of the tragedy at Sandy Hook elementary school and information about the shooter started to unfold I thought about this song. The people that commit this type of violence have managed over time to disconnect from society and reality. "You slept too long in silence momma said" is a chilling description of a sick mind in need of help that never arrived.

War weary Soldier's Lament! | Reviewer: Falk Krause

------ About the song Sixty Years On performed by Elton John

My readings and collections of Civil War books, relics, weapons and other memorabilia allows me to place this particular Soldier into that post Civil Civil War setting - to recall and recite his captivating tale of encounters and experiences countless times over and over. To a question someone asked of him, he just mused:
Who'll walk me down to church
When I'm sixty years of age,
And the ragged dig they gave me
Has been ten years in the grave,

And Seorita play guitar,
Play it just for you
My rosary has broken
And my beads have all slipped through,

You've hung up your Great Coat
A d you've laid down your gun

Tinderbox interpretation | Reviewer: Anonymous

------ About the song Tinderbox performed by Elton John

Is Elton John referring to the WTC event when he says "Godzilla came in disguise. Tore the building down right before our eyes". This is a brilliant song. The challenge for all of us is not to become "the spark" or act in a way that could set off "the spark" in others while we live in a fragile world society. The aim being that we no longer live in a tinderbox in the future

Great feel good music | Reviewer: Anonymous

------ About the song The Captain and The Kid performed by Elton John

I love this song. In fact I love this whole album. This is a bit of a retrospective of Elton's career in the music business and his relationship with Bernie. There's fragments of the themes from Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy as well as a tiny bit from Rocket Man, and probably more I'm either missing or not remembering. There's clever use of words from earlier songs to describe their memories of those times. The music is a return to the earlier sound, but with all the complexity and polish of someone who's been doing this for 40+ years. Good stuff!!

WoW! This song is just so good..... | Reviewer: Louise
