In fact, the first Elton John song I heard was "Candle in the Wind", which was arranged and sung for the late Princess Diana. At that time, I was still in the lower grades of elementary school, so I didn't understand English, but I thought the song sounded good, so I looked up the meaning of the lyrics after entering junior high school and found that there was an original song The piano and singing are very good🎹✨
Yes the first time I heard it was when it was for princess Diana and then I realized that it wasn't for her it was actually for Marilyn Monroe and they rewrote it and I still sing it as if it is her song. I guess the first time you hear something is what you want it to be all the time. I still listen to the one from Maryland but I find myself singing the lyrics to Diana's version
I don't know how anyone can listen to this song and not end up in tears. Elton was the right man to sing this tribute to Diana. He really makes you feel the pain of her loss. You can feel his pain through his singing, as well. Such a terrible loss at that time, and still today.
This is, simply, one of the most beautiful and meaningful songs I've ever heard in my life. Elton John originally composed this song in honor of the memory of Marilyn Monroe, but as you can see by this video, this song can be applied to many lives, like Princess Diana's and also the life of Ryan White for example. It can also be applied to so many lives cut short. Our lives truly are like candles in the wind. That's why we should let people know while they are living how much they mean to us.
LadyDianaIsMyQueen93- Sto usando un traduttore, non parlo italiano. Grazie per questo distacco, si produce ricordi di quanto è buono lei era davvero, e come questo è triste. Eltons performance è qui immacolata e si può vederlo combattere le lacrime. Il mondo ha perso un angelo quel giorno ...
Ce jour là j'étais dans un bus quelque part sur la planète, il y avait un soleil magnifique, des sourires sur tous les visages, je descends et passe devant les vitrines des magasins et je vois et écoute cette tristesse qui émane d'un poste de télévision, Elton John qui chante avec un énorme chagrin parsemé d'émotion et de tristesse, je ne peux retenir mes larmes, et ce souvenir me marquera à jamais.
From what I read online he has never performed this song ever since the funeral. I commend him he pulled it together at such a sombre moment in history.
He even refused to play it at the revealing of Diana's statue because her sons didn't ask for it, even when the Queen agreed to it, this was a personal goodbye of Elton to a dear friend, that he never played it again speaks of his love and respect for her.
Never knew you did this Elton John. This is why I love you, my hero. A great man, and I am sure Lady Diana was an amazing woman, but I was too young at the time. There is much hope for humanity.
Both versions are beautiful and powerful. This was the one of the saddest times in the world and he still gave a damn good performance and knocked it outta the park. Beautiful, beautiful song.
Sir elton john I'm a broken man in tears listening to this version I've lost all my family. I have the upmost respect for you. Keeping your cool and delivering such a heartfelt song toward your friend. Your so strong God bless you. Absolute hero.
I Just Turned 19 years old When Diana Died It was the Most Tragic Funeral I had To Witness on TV i Cried throughout the Entire Service Diana's Beauty and Grace Is never forgotten I see So much of it in Will and I'm Blessed that he's Found it in his Love of Catherine I Cried so Hard When Diana died It's so Weird almost 16 Years Later She's Always Remembered and Never Forgotten Diana Was a Wonderful Princess... Rest In Peace.......
Rest In Peace.... You were one of the best woman in the world... you were and you are.... we love you so much. Elton John is so professional to interprated that song....
Bellissima canzone....ricordo che vidi il funerale in televisione...e dopo aver sentito la canzone comprai il cd ( il ricavato se non sbaglio era in beneficenza...)una grande donna....mi piaceva molto....la vera principessa e' lei....non ce ne sarà mai più nessuna come lei....Kate e' bellissima e umile ma mai come Diana ....non a la sua magia.
I was on Holiday in Mexico . Early Sunday morning August 31 1999 Unforgettable !!! Arrived at the Resort Lobby where l was to meet up with a tourist guide. To my surprise there were many employees from housekeeping to The Resort’s executives , guests many people all were ONE in mourning many crying and others in complete shock! I asked a young woman that was holding a newspaper to her chest. What had happened, apparently she didn’t speak English just showed me the news ppaper. Headline showed a picture of princess Diana and a mangled automobile! Then a desk clerk said to me in English “ Our Princess Diana has Died “ Me an American woman that grew up loving and admiring Diana learned for the first time that Diana was in fact THE PEOPLE’S PRINCESS!! All people!! Rest in Paradise beautiful soul! 27 years after in it still hurts 🤍😭🤍
grande Diana, mai ti dimenticherò. Quel giorno ero a Milano, una bellissima domenica, la sera a cena e fu pure l'ultima volta che vidi il mio compagno di allora. Quando tornai a casa a mezzanotte, accesi la tv, non potevo credere a quella notizia, dopo una cosi bella giornata che però fu funesta, 16 giorni dopo se ne andò pure il mio di a quei tempi compagno, cosi all'improvviso. Non aveva ancora 50 anni....doveva compiere i 50 a novembre. Che tristezza, che nostalgia. RIP entrambi
This Tribute to dear Lady Diana was so heartbreaking.. Never will I forget her and the loss we all share in her untimely passing. May she rest in peace forever.
You a true friend and faithful for ever she is the true queen for ever she had the biggest heart burning full of love for the suffering and poor .that is a true queen. Thank you Elton God bless you for ever.
This can be the worlds most demanding performance! Playing and sing a new text solo live broadcasting to the hole world at one of the most known and beloved funeral due to an early death and preforming a world's musical hit without losing it. True professionalism. As a musician I am very impressed. RIP Diana!
I was in Glasgow when Princess Diana died and I found out this terrible piece of a news coming back to England 2 days later. I cryed all the time along the road reading the newspaper while my beloved husband was driving. It was not "general hystery" like someone said. With my collegues in Compton I cried during her funeral, broadcasted worldwide on TV. We were sincerely upset and moved. She was a marvellous and sensible person. I will love her forever even if she didn't know me. After her death I thought everything could happen and this was a shock for me. 25 years ago my husband and I were both 32. He unlackly died in 2011 for a GBM which is a letal brain cancer.
Encore merci LadyDianaIsMyQueen93 pour cette vidéo. A regarder et écouter sans modération en 2024 comme en 1997. 27 ans et toujours pas une ride (sauf sur mon visage) ! Ce morceau est sur ma playlist depuis 1997 et n'est pas prêt d'en sortir.
non dimenticherò mai il giorno in cui ci lascio,era il quarto compleanno di mia figlia e dalla gioia,sono passata al pianto, non so perchè,ma mi è rimasta nel cuore
Before she died in a car crash in Paris tunnel in 1997. she went on a health mission in Bosnia and Angola for AIDS! What she was indeed a diva of the twentieth century and humanitarian ambassador!
Him being one of the Princess' closest friends i cannot even imagine how hard it was to sing that song. I was 5 when I watched this live in America and of course at the time I didn't realize who she was. I just knew she was a princess of England. Now I understand and my heart still breaks for her family and for her as a person for all the crap the royal family and press put her through. God rest your soul Diana
I remember watching this funeral on television. So very sad. An unecessary passing. Princess Diana was a wonderful mother and an advocate for England. Rest in peace. You gave your sons great values. You did your best overcoming great adversity. Watch over them!
Blue Winters She was indeed very loved by everyone. She cared much for starving children and helped alot with charity in Africa. She was humble, kind and very beloved... Hence, such a sad loss...
to think that he had the same heart crushing sorrow like all of the visitors and still managed to deliver them some closure to this melody. This remains unforgotten
With all due respect to Kate, there is absolutely NOBODY that will fill Lady Di's shoes. To the world, she was Jesus in a skirt. RIP Princess, we miss you, your candle still flickers and your legend lives forever. 💓💓💓
I still remember How my mother started crying when when saw the newspaper in the morning. I was a little child and did Not understand it , but now as grown- up is really heart-touching and very sad,Not only for England ,for the whole world
Mi sembra di vedere La principessa Diana che cammina a passo svelto con i capelli biondi che le incorniciano il viso e guarda con i suoi begli occhi azzurri cielo da sotto di un ciuffo

Getoppt wird der Moment aber als die 2 Prinzen hinter ihrem Sarg hinterher liefen.
Ascoltando questa meravigliosa canzone la commozione è talmente tanta che basta chiudere gli occhi e rivedere il bellissimo volto di Diana.
2024, piango ancora.
Idem ❤
Sono passati 27 anni sembra ieri, quando morì Lady diana stavo tornando dalle vacanze al mare

Lady D principessa di tutto il mondo e perché questo va ricordata per la sua umanità e umiltà
Never knew you did this Elton John. This is why I love you, my hero. A great man, and I am sure Lady Diana was an amazing woman, but I was too young at the time. There is much hope for humanity.
Straordinario.come si può dimenticare la bellezza ,la semplicità della principessa Diana
Adoravo la Principessa Diana anche se non la conoscevo questa canzone e bellissima
Questa canzone mi fa piangere il cuore adoravo Diana anche se non la conoscevo era bellissima ma semplicissima ho scritto una poesia per lei💖💖👍😍

FIBRO WARRIOR He has said he will only ever sing this version again if Prince's William and Harry ask him to.
bellissima canzone,impossibile dimenticare la grande principessa DIANA
linda missione BELLISIMA
linda missione hai ragionr
Ho appena guardato il suo documentario... in tutta onestà non mi sono fatto una bella idea di lei
+Giulio Costa e perché? Cosa ne andava sono curioso...
Giulio Costa era una vittima in mezzo a quei VOLPONI
Bravissimo
Merci pour cette vidéo à écouter et regarder sans modération en 2021 comme en 1997. La France aussi adore.
Stupenda è bellissima stupenda emozionante
i love this song...and with elton john's voice it's the perfect combination!!!!!!!
Cette chanson me donne des frissons, chère Dame Diana, pour toujours dans nos Cœurs ❤
grandissimo elton in quella interpretazione....
Legends never die ❤
Grande. Commovente. Il talento in UK è la cosa più importante. Oltre Manica non ci sarà mai un Lorenzo qualsiasi.
I'm french but I know this cover is the most of his career. Love this song. This cover is the best of the best.
Eri e rimani un grande
non dimenticherò mai il giorno in cui ci lascio,era il quarto compleanno di mia figlia e dalla gioia,sono passata al pianto, non so perchè,ma mi è rimasta nel cuore
La princesse Diana c'est une femme extraordinaire il faut pas oublier ❤️ reste dans nos cœurs ⭐❤️
Questa bellissima canzone mi fa piangere il cuore
August 31, 1997 August 31, 2023 Rest in peace Lady D you are always in our hearts ❤
Before she died in a car crash in Paris tunnel in 1997. she went on a health mission in Bosnia and Angola for AIDS!
What she was indeed a diva of the twentieth century and humanitarian ambassador!
Love this song!! I remember when I was little watching this live on tv. It was such a sad moment:(
I have to proclaim this man the King of England. Definitely royalty with his talent. I wish him a happy retirement.
Him being one of the Princess' closest friends i cannot even imagine how hard it was to sing that song. I was 5 when I watched this live in America and of course at the time I didn't realize who she was. I just knew she was a princess of England. Now I understand and my heart still breaks for her family and for her as a person for all the crap the royal family and press put her through. God rest your soul Diana
One of the most significant moment in my childhood: a genius in the Abbey playing for a myth. Glorious.
I remember watching this funeral on television. So very sad. An unecessary passing. Princess Diana was a wonderful mother and an advocate for England. Rest in peace. You gave your sons great values. You did your best overcoming great adversity. Watch over them!
So tearful .. beautiful tribute !
Una favolosa canzone 🦄
Tears to my eyes
Edit January 2021
Still brings tears to my eyes
me too.....
I don't know that much about her story but as I see everyone loved her, she must have been a lovely person!
Blue Winters She was indeed very loved by everyone. She cared much for starving children and helped alot with charity in Africa. She was humble, kind and very beloved... Hence, such a sad loss...
She is the reason the Royal Family are now more down to earth.
Ela, transmitia uma doçura, e passava essa Doçura para os filhos,.
to think that he had the same heart crushing sorrow like all of the visitors and still managed to deliver them some closure to this melody. This remains unforgotten
With all due respect to Kate, there is absolutely NOBODY that will fill Lady Di's shoes. To the world, she was Jesus in a skirt. RIP Princess, we miss you, your candle still flickers and your legend lives forever. 💓💓💓
