"She was a kind, soft, and very sensitive lady" - Though evidently had such sound morals that she had an affair with the US President? Oh but hang on, that never happened. Yeah, right !! - And so sensitive that she posed nude. - These and numerous other things are not stacked in her favour.
This song was played at my mums funeral she died when I was 3 years old so the line " I would have liked to know you but I was just a kid" breaks my heart as it is true
man that fucking blows :( that's how I was with my grandpa I was like 9 when he passed he is the one that gave me my name he did everything and one day I got notified that cancer took his life
Mollie I am so sorry! I have a similar story with my uncle who passed away when I was 12. I looked at him like a father and this song was played at his funeral. bless ur soul and feel free to message me if you need to talk I feel a similar pain
it's true for me as well. my mom's father died of natural causes when I was 4 years old back in June, 2002 according to mom. Now, I shed a tear thinking about that. I would've loved to getting to know him, but he's long gone now. I lost him at a young age and he wasn't even fifty yet now that I think about it.
RIP Elijah Cumming. You were the candle in our darkest hours. I personally have been deeply affected by the corruption of our government and you restored my faith, made me believe that I still have a chance to change this world. You said "Our children are the living messages we send to a future we will never see", this will be my truth and belief that I will hold close to my heart until the day that I take my last breath. You impacted me in ways that I will never be able to fully express or explain. You set the standards in politics and into our society in a way that should shake All of us to the very core of our Nation and people. You will be GREATLY missed.
This song hits different today. My mom idolized Marilyn Monroe her whole life. She looked uncannily like her too. The same hair, eyes, smile. She was compared to her a lot. My mom endured an incredibly hard life filled with abuse, tragedy, addiction, and loss... three years ago she got cancer and passed away in my arms when I was only 20. This song always made her emotional, and hearing it now, the lyrics remind me of her so much too. It hurts twice as much now...
Sad. I'm sorry about what happened to your mom. My grandmother died of cancer. I liked her very much. She fought it for a year. And it was a difficult year for me and the whole family. I wish you much happiness and love in your life. ❤️
We played this at my dads funeral. He died just a few months ago. Only 41 years old. He was my rock and I miss and think about him every day. I love you dad
This was the number one song on the day I was born, pretty fitting considering my mom had to leave his concert to give birth to me. This song holds a special place in my heart.
The brilliant lyrics of Bernie Taupin, the Elton John warm voice and his elegant music composition, and enhanced by awesome background vocals - made a timeless masterpiece, as a salute to one of the most beautiful women who ever lived. I never tire of hearing this song.
RIP Marilyn Monroe, Robin Williams, Michael Jackson, Kurt Cobain, princess Diana etc. They were all just human beings like all of us, who needed love, who needed something or someone to believe in, and media took that them away. But, their souls will never be forgotten and their works will always be something to look up to for the new generations.
You would've been proud, your highness. You would have shed so many tears of joy and felt the warmth of your first grandchild in your bosom had you been with us just a bit longer...We miss you, Princess Diana. After all these years, we have never forgotten your compassionate heart, glowing smile, and your efforts to make the world a better place.
Marylin pursued the industry she rise to the top of a tough and ruthless business she was incredibly intelligent and street smart. She was hurt by her upbringing and never healed. I hope she is with God in heaven.
Bernie toupin is a hell of a writer! Elton being able to write music to his lyrics is amazing! Great tribute to the great Marilyn Monroe. Your legend will live for a long time to come!
Marilyn was my mother I was the daughter born on 15 may 1957. I used to fly from Australia to stay with her in between films and we went swimming and camping together and she loved me. She is an angel and is with god now and I will one day be with her. She loved me with all her heart. I miss her badly! My life was so empty when she left.
May her soul keep resting in peace. That's the way to heaven. God bless u. Happy to learn she left a child. That means she is alive as she lives in you. To me that's resurrection.
I think this song truly captures the essence of Marilyn Monroe .. "never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in" ... tragic but perfectly articulated ❤❤
@@emmsss8934 this song was originally for Marilyn Monroe. The lady Diana one was sung many years after the songs release. Elton has never performed the lady di version after singing it at her funeral
@@dinobarros5257 It was originally written for Marilyn Monroe. Her birth name was Norma Jean, hence "Goodbye Norma Jean" and even the obvious line in the song about the press saying how "Marilyn was found in the nude" which makes it pretty clear that this song has everything to do with her
I was in a train listening to this song and when I closed my eyes I saw the love of my life standing in the rain, crying. I hugged her as tight as I can. My heart beat like drums and I could feel hers beating the same way. She hasn't said 'yes' yet. Hope she does someday!
Thank you ! This was played at my father's funnel. Requested from my mother in witch it held special meaning for.But we all know it held special meaning for a lot of people I love my father still as if he is living . All tho he isn't passed away in 2004 early in the year at his and my mom's place in witch is special meaning special in my heart . Thank you dad for all you did for your children and you friends and sibling's and students you taught in Jr high school . I wish I was as smart as you were . I got some of you when I look in the mirror and I miss you more everyday . I didn't take advice I regret that dad but all is forgiven I held your hand on the way out of your life and I'll always remember that feeling I hope you rest in peace we all love you for what you did and ment to us much love daddy, love molly.
They played this song at my great grandmother's wake and she herself chose this song to be played for her own wake. Every time this song comes on, I have to cry!
The morning of Diana's funeral, I went to my favorite point at Grand Canyon National Park and sat thinking about all the sadness. A hiker who had been camping in the inner Canyon stopped and asked why I looked so sullen. I simply said: Lady Diana was laid to rest.
A sad teenage girl sat in her room at her first foster home. Through the windows she heard this song being song by one of the best male voices she ever heard. Instantly she felt calm. It was my foster father, Donny, singing. That day he was my angel.
Lost my mum in 1997 n met my wife Joana lived n loved for 21 years with our only Son Benjie n 2 adopted daughters Susie n Lisa...till God called her to her resting place.2018... It's not easy to handle the cirmstances .But I believe God's plan applies no matter what plans we have😢😢 This was our favorite song together😢😢😢 Candle in the wind😢😢
I never got bored hearing candle in the wind. Reminds me my mom who's left me when I needed her too much I would have liked to know you but I was just a kid. And in fact I never met her and she's left the world now is dead forever. If you'd loved me you would take care of me.
I’m so sorry that this happened to you, sometimes moms love their children very much and deeply but circumstances arise and they do what they think is best for their children. Pray and ask God to remove any negative feelings if there are any and forgive her if you haven’t. Open up your heart if u haven’t and ask Jesus to come in. Ask him to forgive your sins and iniquities. I understand your hurt, my grandmother basically raised me, so I know the feeling. Jesus can come in and be that mother, father, sister, brother, friend and anyone else who you need him to be in your life. I would never tell you this if I hadn’t experienced him for myself. He is our precious savior who sacrificed his life for us. Pray and read your Bible everyday. If you don’t understand it (the King James Version) Try reading the NIV New International Version. Don’t ever let anyone keep you from experiencing the freedom of having the love of Our lord in your life. He who stand strong will inherit eternal life. Jesus wants me to tell you that he loves you. Idk you or why God had me write this to you but, he’s let me know that you’re struggling. Repent the day of the Lord is at hand. I love you❤
She was a beautiful soul who was lost in the crowd. A child who wanted to feel wanted loved and cared for but never did. RIP Marilyn I'll always remember you .
This is one of the three songs (so far) that reminds me of my son. He had leukemia and died when he was six years old. This song, Funeral for a friend and this is my fight song (which came about twenty years to late).
She should’ve lived longer, she should’ve had better treatment while she was alive and should’ve been given a chance at happiness. Rest In Peace Marilyn Monroe ❤️
Who searched for this song in time of Quarantine? It made me go back to the core. Princess Diana, you remain in my heart forever. Imagine how you influence me even when I was just 5y/o when you passed away.
I guess very few can withstand the pressures of being famous because the demands are high, gossips abound and there is no privacy. Plus the constant need to do better and be better. Most exhausting.
Philo, I've just heard this song when sung for princess diana. Somehow I don't like Diana too much. Today, I heard it for the first time about MM and somehow the words resonate. The more I see of stardom, the more I wonder why anybody wants to be a star. The adulation of millions cannot be a stand in for your privacy.
Congrats mate. My mom loved elton, shes been gone 2 years and I still can't make it without crying. Many millions of wishes for you and your family to continue strongly.
We buried our first born brother yesterday . truly he was a candle in the wind and he never bothered any of us always giving his whole.truly I would have liked to really know him.
They played this at my Grandma's funeral and I'm crying right now listening to it now omg I miss you Grandma R.I.P. My king and queen I miss you both so much😔💘
I enjoy Marilyn Monroe's movies. She was a great actress, and a singer. She will always live in our hearts forever. She is and will always be a true icon. Nobody will ever take that away from her either. I will always be a fan of hers no matter what some people will say. I love her smile; her voice; and the way she presented herself.
My daughter died at 13 days when i was 17, in my arms. "I would of liked to you know you but I was just a kid" makes a grown man cry while at the wheel every time , Tony soprano style
Heart hurts for what marilyn had to go through just because men thought she was beautiful and women hated her for it. She was hunted down and put on display and watched and hounded and was completely alone. Heartbreaking
This is a beautiful song performed by the super talented Elton John. This is not a proper place to judge others. Live your own life to the best of your ability and don't knock others, especially when you don't know them.
An old song but still touches my female soul,sung so well and under the control of powerful lyrics, candle in the wind dedicated to MM,a beautiful superstar
In the ealy 70s, I had a transistor radio. I would surf between stations like BBC, VOA, Radio Australia, Radio Kuwait and many others looking for their music programs. Elton john was such a staple around the world, no program was complete without one of his songs. He became my second favorite after Elvis and I guess he still is.
🥀Amazing Song! I love the way he thought about this before he released it all time consuming about her and the hell they put her through years of tearing her apart inside and out. Media can be so cruel they can't let her rest in peace! Thank you Sir Elton John for remembering her for a Beautiful Woman with a heart. God Bless you🥀☝️🥀🎹☝️
This was my grandad favorite song he listened to it everywhere ileven in the shower it was his song for his funeral he died of canser 4 months ago I lived with him for 2 years
You have my condolences, Princessleah..... i just finished singing to this song.....couldn't help but to cry, while singing....hopefully, he's in a better place....... :'(
Can I dedicate this to my wonderful father, civil engineer a strong man that lived life disable for 12 yrs in a nursing home.. my Dad passed 2 days ago after suffering from a heart attack and stroke. He is my hero my idle! He passed away at the young age of 63. Life is like a candle in the wind. I'll never forget you Dad because you've taught me to be strong! RIP
My uncle lost his battle to cancer this morning and my mom was very heartbroken. As I was getting dropped off at school I told my mom "Stay strong" and right as I leave this song played. My mom was in tears and her coworker said it was a sign he is in heaven and safe and sound with his daughter. I understand why after I listened to the song my mom was crying when she listened to this.
I remember being a little girl, and Elton played this at Princess Diana's funeral...I hear this song and never think of Marylin....always, always Princess Dianna. She was something special and had good energy, yet sad
Sir Elton with this song you have capture me. I live my life like a candle in the wind. This song is written for angels. And you owned this song with your voice. I love this song sir Elton John. And this song reminds all of us we live our life like candle in the wind. 🥂💎 💃🕺🍾💎
It's been 13 years, and I miss you more than ever. R.I.P. Ruslana, oh, the things you could have done if you didn't jump so soon out of the window that was your life. 😔💔👼
Saw him in concert a few times. All at MSG in NYC. RHE BEST Part of this song is the electric guitar. Live….he never used the guitar. Just piano. Drove me crazy!!! Yeah. She was an Elvis type to me. Just not a normal life. The public took it away from them. Very sad. Both were awesome & will never be forgotten!!!
It’s my birthday month and I’m a Gemini , as Marilyn Monroe . I always play this on my birthday! Because It so beautiful, and I do feel like it has captured Norma Jean’s essence, often us Geminis are misunderstoood. I love you Elton John, you are really smart and we’re able to understand Marylyn.She would have loved you , a lot!
I don't know why but...I got reminded of Michael Jackson as I listened to this. This song is so relatable to Michael. I was only 3 when he died and was not introduced to him since my parents made me listen to the music they liked. If I knew a little earlier....just a little bit .... I'm tearing up!!!
Thurday 23rd January 2020. What a great song by Elton John. R.I.P Norma Jean and Princess Diana. Both of you will always be in our hearts. Thank you. From Virginia Clark.?! :( ;( :)
I came here because of that mass shooting at that nightclub in Florida. I dedicate this song to everyone who died or was harmed directly or indirectly by that terrible tragedy and act of terror.

This was played at my Nana's funeral when I was 8 years old God I miss you so much and I understand this song now why it was played I will always love 😘
+Brit Dear I just started watching Parks & Rec over a last week and just watched that episode last night. "I have cried twice in my life. Once when I was 7 and I was hit by a school bus and then again when I heard Li'l Sebastian had passed."
Omg as a kid I never noticed the lyrics of this song but now I’m older I realise the meaning behind them and it’s making me sad especially watching the crown 😔😔
***** lmao you really need to read more of that book wrote by man for man..Might I suggest you also read Cinderella. I mean the story is so much better for the brain.
***** STFU Marilyn was very depressed and was basicly doing it for her career and she got f***ing murdered and all u people who say she's burning in hell then go f*** yourselves
Norma Jean was the candle in the wind. Marylin Monroe was the fire. The candle burned out. The fire destroyed the crawlers and she flew in the wind by being the ashes as the legend forever...
My sense is that Marilyn would have loved this song. She was a kind, soft, and very sensitive lady. This song is a masterpiece.
❤️
"She was a kind, soft, and very sensitive lady"
- Though evidently had such sound morals that she had an affair with the US President? Oh but hang on, that never happened. Yeah, right !!
- And so sensitive that she posed nude.
- These and numerous other things are not stacked in her favour.
I don't really know about Marilyn being necessarily kind
@thepsychologist8159 wow... Hopefully you don't work with people as a psychology

Cody Collender We are all very Sorry to hear that. Everyone have a moment of silence for this fella and his father
Love from here.
So sorry Cory! Hope times healing.
This was the number one song on the day I was born, pretty fitting considering my mom had to leave his concert to give birth to me. This song holds a special place in my heart.
My middle name is Daniel because my mom was an EJ fan. Love his music.
Wow
So you were a partycrasher from the day you were born, you say? xD
We share a birthday or at least close to 😂
That is fabulous!!!!
That fact that this song was not only a hit once by twice with different lyrics shows just how amazing Elton and Bernie really are.
Also how enduringly popular and loved Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana are
the song's melody itself is just that good to listen to
The brilliant lyrics of Bernie Taupin, the Elton John warm voice and his elegant music composition, and enhanced by awesome background vocals - made a timeless masterpiece, as a salute to one of the most beautiful women who ever lived. I never tire of hearing this song.
"Hollywood created a superstar, and pain was the price you paid." That sums up her whole career.
And Judy Garland’s
💯💯💯💯💯
RIP always, Marilyn AKA Norma... 🙏💔
no it sums up Hollywood
Wasn’t it “Loneliness was the price you paid” ?
RIP Marilyn Monroe, Robin Williams, Michael Jackson, Kurt Cobain, princess Diana etc. They were all just human beings like all of us, who needed love, who needed something or someone to believe in, and media took that them away. But, their souls will never be forgotten and their works will always be something to look up to for the new generations.
Michael Jackson got his love. From little boys.
Don't forget Freddie Mercury
Can’t forget Freddie mercury, Dean Martin and Elvis Presley! RIP to those legends
And Freddie mercury
They were ALL murdered by the cabal. Please do your research
It certainly one of the best songs from Sir Elton. A true classic in memory of a beautiful person Marylin Monroe.
So true which is why it sucks that so many now think of it as Diana's song even though the two are completely different.
@@shellcI believe Elton John originally didn't want to do it for Diana but royals orders of course
You would've been proud, your highness. You would have shed so many tears of joy and felt the warmth of your first grandchild in your bosom had you been with us just a bit longer...We miss you, Princess Diana. After all these years, we have never forgotten your compassionate heart, glowing smile, and your efforts to make the world a better place.
RIP MM. An American original. Thank you elton jon, for this masterpiece
Marylin pursued the industry she rise to the top of a tough and ruthless business she was incredibly intelligent and street smart. She was hurt by her upbringing and never healed. I hope she is with God in heaven.
Bernie toupin is a hell of a writer! Elton being able to write music to his lyrics is amazing! Great tribute to the great Marilyn Monroe. Your legend will live for a long time to come!
Marilyn was my mother I was the daughter born on 15 may 1957. I used to fly from Australia to stay with her in between films and we went swimming and camping together and she loved me. She is an angel and is with god now and I will one day be with her. She loved me with all her heart. I miss her badly! My life was so empty when she left.
I think you're lying. Why you do it?
May her soul keep resting in peace. That's the way to heaven. God bless u. Happy to learn she left a child. That means she is alive as she lives in you. To me that's resurrection.
I think this song truly captures the essence of Marilyn Monroe .. "never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in" ... tragic but perfectly articulated ❤❤

I’m so sorry that this happened to you, sometimes moms love their children very much and deeply but circumstances arise and they do what they think is best for their children.
Pray and ask God to remove any negative feelings if there are any and forgive her if you haven’t. Open up your heart if u haven’t and ask Jesus to come in. Ask him to forgive your sins and iniquities. I understand your hurt, my grandmother basically raised me, so I know the feeling. Jesus can come in and be that mother, father, sister, brother, friend and anyone else who you need him to be in your life.
I would never tell you this if I hadn’t experienced him for myself. He is our precious savior who sacrificed his life for us. Pray and read your Bible everyday. If you don’t understand it (the King James Version)
Try reading the NIV New International Version. Don’t ever let anyone keep you from experiencing the freedom of having the love of Our lord in your life. He who stand strong will inherit eternal life.
Jesus wants me to tell you that he loves you. Idk you or why God had me write this to you but, he’s let me know that you’re struggling.
Repent the day of the Lord is at hand.
I love you❤
I’m sorry you had to go through life, without a loving mother. You didn’t deserve to be abandoned like that.
She was a beautiful soul who was lost in the crowd. A child who wanted to feel wanted loved and cared for but never did. RIP Marilyn I'll always remember you .
Thank you. I will remember you too

Everyone wanted to "f--k" Marilyn Monroe, but no one loved Norma Jean.
Zinah G how do you know that actually?
+JohannaMueller57 she was an orphan
I love me some Marylin
This is one of the three songs (so far) that reminds me of my son. He had leukemia and died when he was six years old. This song, Funeral for a friend and this is my fight song (which came about twenty years to late).
Bye, bye 'lil Sebastian - you're 5000 candles in the wind.
Parks and Recreation anyone?😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
+K Roberts yeah boi, I fucking love that show :)
+L1ghtN1ngStr1k3VFX me too😀😀😀😀

Rip Marilyn Monroe. You are the evergreen young actress and golden girl of Hollywood.
She should’ve lived longer, she should’ve had better treatment while she was alive and should’ve been given a chance at happiness.
Rest In Peace Marilyn Monroe ❤️
Who searched for this song in time of Quarantine? It made me go back to the core. Princess Diana, you remain in my heart forever. Imagine how you influence me even when I was just 5y/o when you passed away.
Somehow, this song brings out so deeply the loneliness of stardom.
I guess very few can withstand the pressures of being famous because the demands are high, gossips abound and there is no privacy. Plus the constant need to do better and be better. Most exhausting.
Philo, I've just heard this song when sung for princess diana. Somehow I don't like Diana too much.
Today, I heard it for the first time about MM and somehow the words resonate.
The more I see of stardom, the more I wonder why anybody wants to be a star. The adulation of millions cannot be a stand in for your privacy.
Stardom is a quest for immortality
and that's why it's an illusion Sam. :)
Abigail van Rooyen i liked the diana one too. But i think MM is a more richly deserved tribute.
this song was played at my mom's funeral almost 4 years ago and I finally made it thru it without crying
I feel you your pain mums are great god bless
Congrats mate. My mom loved elton, shes been gone 2 years and I still can't make it without crying. Many millions of wishes for you and your family to continue strongly.
So sorry for your loss I lost my dad at 13 losing a parent is so hard 😭
When you don't cry thats when you know you have accepted and grown
I'm sure you meant a lot to her.
I cry every time. I'm wearing a Marilyn shirt right now. Her candle may be burnt but the legend will never burn out.
We buried our first born brother yesterday . truly he was a candle in the wind and he never bothered any of us always giving his whole.truly I would have liked to really know him.
... may he rest in peace with many angels around him -
my condolence to his family .....

The wat he sang this at Princess Diana's Funeral with of courses changes to the song was incredible. Very heartwretching
One of the greatest songs of all time. I must have sung this 100 times or more myself.. Love it..
They played this at my Grandma's funeral and I'm crying right now listening to it now omg I miss you Grandma R.I.P. My king and queen I miss you both so much😔💘
I enjoy Marilyn Monroe's movies. She was a great actress, and a singer. She will always live in our hearts forever. She is and will always be a true icon. Nobody will ever take that away from her either. I will always be a fan of hers no matter what some people will say. I love her smile; her voice; and the way she presented herself.
My daughter died at 13 days when i was 17, in my arms. "I would of liked to you know you but I was just a kid" makes a grown man cry while at the wheel every time , Tony soprano style
I love to sing, however, I can't make it through this song without breaking down. Sir Elton John, is epic, amazing, and breathtaking.
Same about my husband! I can’t make it 5- min if I think about it
Heart hurts for what marilyn had to go through just because men thought she was beautiful and women hated her for it. She was hunted down and put on display and watched and hounded and was completely alone. Heartbreaking
So true
Does hearing this song make anyone else cry?
This song makes me cry everytime, soo sad too many women looking for a man to cling to when the rain sets in.. Love Marilyn Monroe 💛💙💜💚
He sang this for Diana. Gone to soon....Princess of HEARTS. A Blessing to humanity.....Thank you for being so very BRAVE.
that song has been writen in 1973... 45yo !! and so talented !!! one of my fav of Sir ELTON
This is a beautiful song performed by the super talented Elton John. This is not a proper place to judge others. Live your own life to the best of your ability and don't knock others, especially when you don't know them.
An old song but still touches my female soul,sung so well and under the control of powerful lyrics, candle in the wind dedicated to MM,a beautiful superstar
No matter what he is singing, he always sends chills. :,)
Every budding superstar should listen to this at the start of their career
In the ealy 70s, I had a transistor radio. I would surf between stations like BBC, VOA, Radio Australia, Radio Kuwait and many others looking for their music programs. Elton john was such a staple around the world, no program was complete without one of his songs. He became my second favorite after Elvis and I guess he still is.
🥀Amazing Song! I love the way he thought about this before he released it all time consuming about her and the hell they put her through years of tearing her apart inside and out. Media can be so cruel they can't let her rest in peace! Thank you Sir Elton John for remembering her for a Beautiful Woman with a heart. God Bless you🥀☝️🥀🎹☝️
A beautiful voice and a talent on the piano has my full respect.
This was my grandad favorite song he listened to it everywhere ileven in the shower it was his song for his funeral he died of canser 4 months ago I lived with him for 2 years
@princessleah I am so very sorry for your loss
You have my condolences, Princessleah..... i just finished singing to this song.....couldn't help but to cry, while singing....hopefully, he's in a better place....... :'(
Can I dedicate this to my wonderful father, civil engineer a strong man that lived life disable for 12 yrs in a nursing home.. my Dad passed 2 days ago after suffering from a heart attack and stroke. He is my hero my idle! He passed away at the young age of 63. Life is like a candle in the wind. I'll never forget you Dad because you've taught me to be strong! RIP

Thank you Elton, this song helped me win well over a million u.s. in Kareoke prizes. Love Always Yeshua
My uncle lost his battle to cancer this morning and my mom was very heartbroken. As I was getting dropped off at school I told my mom "Stay strong" and right as I leave this song played. My mom was in tears and her coworker said it was a sign he is in heaven and safe and sound with his daughter. I understand why after I listened to the song my mom was crying when she listened to this.
I always cry when I hear this song. Elton John was my grandma’s favorite singer. I miss her so much
Katy Lepetsos Shes in heaven looking down on you and smiling she wants you to be happy and for you to stay strong. 😊❤️
Today my grandma was laid to rest and Elton John was one of her favourite singers ❤
one of the most beautiful songs ever
What is 5000 times better than "candle in the wind" ? "5000 candles in the wind".

The first song of Mouserat that I enjoyed, which subsequently motivated me to check the original song out.
slumanythingsiro this made my day
The office is better
I remember being a little girl, and Elton played this at Princess Diana's funeral...I hear this song and never think of Marylin....always, always Princess Dianna. She was something special and had good energy, yet sad
Sir Elton with this song you have capture me. I live my life like a candle in the wind.
This song is written for angels. And you owned this song with your voice. I love this song sir Elton John. And this song reminds all of us we live our life like candle in the wind. 🥂💎 💃🕺🍾💎
my favorite part is the vocal harmony at 2:45. absolutely gorgeous.
It's been 13 years, and I miss you more than ever. R.I.P. Ruslana, oh, the things you could have done if you didn't jump so soon out of the window that was your life. 😔💔👼
Beautiful song, Elton John's voice is absolutely stunning, makes me feel fillings deep inside that I never knew were there ♡♡
Saw him in concert a few times. All at MSG in NYC.
RHE BEST Part of this song is the electric guitar. Live….he never used the guitar. Just piano. Drove me crazy!!! Yeah. She was an Elvis type to me. Just not a normal life. The public took it away from them. Very sad. Both were awesome & will never be forgotten!!!
This song always gonna remind me of princess Diana, a legend whose candle light was blown, but still lights in our hearts.
there is something to pay for becoming a Hollywood superstar....
I listen to this song everyday...
#RIPMarilyn
The poetry of this song is amazing, much love!
It’s my birthday month and I’m a Gemini , as Marilyn Monroe . I always play this on my birthday! Because It so beautiful, and I do feel like it has captured Norma Jean’s essence, often us Geminis are misunderstoood.
I love you Elton John, you are really smart and we’re able to understand Marylyn.She would have loved you , a lot!
Is it ok to cry when one listens to this song? Cause I do, I love this song!! Goodbye My beautiful Queen Elizabeth II
Thanks to my English teacher. Now i love this song
Godspeed, Nick and Griffin. Godspeed.
Who's still listening to this in 2019?
Right here bro this is real music, real music never dies
Meeeee
me
I am!
Me
I don't know why but...I got reminded of Michael Jackson as I listened to this. This song is so relatable to Michael. I was only 3 when he died and was not introduced to him since my parents made me listen to the music they liked. If I knew a little earlier....just a little bit .... I'm tearing up!!!
Thurday 23rd January 2020. What a great song by Elton John. R.I.P Norma Jean and Princess Diana. Both of you will always be in our hearts. Thank you. From Virginia Clark.?! :( ;( :)

To all those who ever lost loved ones. Life is too bloody short to be worried about what others think. Strive to be happy and don't hurt others..
This was played at my Nana's funeral when I was 8 years old God I miss you so much and I understand this song now why it was played I will always love 😘
I miss you Grandma. My candle in the wind.
I am sorry for your loss. I lost my grandmother 3 years ago, and a friend like a grandmother last week suddenly.
@@violeteyes814 hugs ❤
Only thing 5000 times better than a candle in the wind is 5000 candles in the wind
TRUUUEEEE
+Brit Dear I just started watching Parks & Rec over a last week and just watched that episode last night.
"I have cried twice in my life. Once when I was 7 and I was hit by a school bus and then again when I heard Li'l Sebastian had passed."
That show is pure gold aha
+Heather what grow some balls
valkor73 it's a quote from the show stupid
On October, 16, 1997 The Princess Diana version of this song hit number one on the Billboard chart.
+Stephanie Trim Not only that, the RIAA recognized it as the best-selling single of all time, in terms of certified sales.
Omg as a kid I never noticed the lyrics of this song but now I’m older I realise the meaning behind them and it’s making me sad especially watching the crown 😔😔
My personal favourite Elton John song. So heartfelt and beautfully written. I am also a huge Marylin Monroe fan.
1997 first year high school. Rest easy, Princess Diana ❤
This goes out to Nick and Griffin. Your sacrifice will not be in vain. May Elton serenade you forever.
What the BNP man?
This song was for Ms. Marilyn Monroe- I wish for that not to be forgotten. However, my sympathies go out to Nick and Griffin.
RIP Marilyn you will be remembered forever...
***** lmao you really need to read more of that book wrote by man for man..Might I suggest you also read Cinderella. I mean the story is so much better for the brain.
***** STFU Marilyn was very depressed and was basicly doing it for her career and she got f***ing murdered and all u people who say she's burning in hell then go f*** yourselves
rockstar4737 Right on!
***** do us all a favour and go fuck yourself, woops, send me to hell bitch
Demi Andrews lol Oh he will try :)
Out of all of Sir Elton John and his songs this is the most favorite!!!😊❤🎼🎵🎶
Norma Jean was the candle in the wind. Marylin Monroe was the fire. The candle burned out. The fire destroyed the crawlers and she flew in the wind by being the ashes as the legend forever...
Some of E.J finest work.was at the top of his game & Fame.
