Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (Cover Version of George Michael and Elton John)

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me ...

The song caught my attention when I was semi-homeless in London. I was staying in the abandoned factory with those rascals mostly from Poland, Bulgaria, etc Some other of them from Portugal, Sweden etc. One of the Swedish friend and another was from Portugal having a nice conversation. This song was one of the topic we discussed and I was wondering what this song about. Then I was in Sunderland, I often sang this song on the beach around 10pm onward till 12:30am in the early morning. As my visa was caught up in the tri-angle Bermuda situation. This song was so suitable for me to expressed my feeling at that time.

"Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" is a song written by English singer-songwriter Elton John and his lyricist Bernie Taupin. It was originally recorded in 1974 by Elton John for his studio album Caribou and was released as a single that peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and reached number 16 in the UK Singles Chart.

Lyrics and music[edit]

In the song, Elton sings to someone he has helped and from whom he is now experiencing rejection:

I took a chance and changed your way of life

but you misread my meaning when I met you

closed the door and left me blinded by the light

don't let the sun go down on me

although I search myself, it's always someone else I see.

I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free

but losing everything is like the sun going down on me.

It was written with the other songs on the album during a ten-day period in January 1974.

The chorus of the song is supported with a horn arrangement by Del Newman, and features backing vocals of the Beach Boys' Carl Wilson and Bruce Johnston, and Toni Tennille. Also on the song are percussion accents provided by Ray Cooper and a mellotron played by Dave Hentschel.

"Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" charted on 1 June 1974 in Great Britain, making it to number 16 and reached the Top 10 after four weeks. On 10 August, the song's two-week stay at number 2 ended. In the U.S., it was certified Gold on 6 September 1974 by the RIAA. In Canada, it reached number 1, becoming his fifth chart topper in that country.[1]

Don't Let the Sun go Down on Me

I can't light no more of your darkness

All my pictures seem to fade to black and white

I'm growing tired and time stands still before me

Frozen here on the ladder of my life

Too late to save myself from falling

I took a chance and changed your way of life

But you misread my meaning when I met you

Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me

Although I touched myself, it's always someone else I see

I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free

But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can't find the right romantic line

But see me once and see the way I feel

Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm

But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal
