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 shocking news sadden my heart when it came to me on Boxing Day last year 2016, passing away of our beloved talented Musical Artist late George Michael unexpectedly.  I always wanted to meet him and when I was in England I came close to two opportunities.  2 of the human beings whom I met knew him personally and one of them was a distant relatives.  With their empty promises, the chances waned off from me.  Some of his songs still I have not record them yet and love them so much ... one of them sound like this ... do you think we have the time ?  So my dear FOLKS, make us of our time wisely and do some services for humanity ...

"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. The song found further success in 1991 in a live cover version recorded as a duet between John and George Michael, which reached number 1 in the UK and US.

"Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" was co-written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin during a ten-day period in January 1974 along with the other songs for John's Caribou album. The song was released as the first single from the album in May 1974 in the United Kingdom, and on 10 June 1974 in the United States.
The chorus of the song is supported with a horn arrangement by Del Newman, and features backing vocals by 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.

Lyrics and music

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.

"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
