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.
Harry was only 12. It was 2 weeks before his 13th birthday. A milestone day. I feel things would be so different now if she were here. With Diana's support perhaps Meghan would've stayed in the UK. The book definitely would never have been written. Diana was so good with people, especially her children. She would've helped Harry & Meghan through that crisis. This song makes me cry every time I hear it. For everything that was lost.
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.
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.
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.
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 ...
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.......
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.
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 🤍😭🤍
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....
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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
Mummy was 18 too, she’s now 45 and Princess of Wales. Mummy, Princess of Wales was 43 when Woody.EXE gave her the title ahead of Princess Diana’s death anniversary
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.
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
EM prepare for this one. God Bless Your Soul Happy New Years Eve thank you for being an amazing sponsor to him. You are very special to Marshall thank you for the wizdom you gave him
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...
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! She will be remembered as the biggest princess of all lands of the Commonwealth,mother,wife and humanitarian ambassador.
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!

2024, piango ancora.
Idem ❤
Sono passati 27 anni sembra ieri, quando morì Lady diana stavo tornando dalle vacanze al mare
2025 ciao Principessa ❤
Lady Diana fu una donna inimitabile e molto umana!!!!
E vero meravigliosa💖💖💖Stefano da Roberta de
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.
Getoppt wird der Moment aber als die 2 Prinzen hinter ihrem Sarg hinterher liefen.
Genau Elton John war genau der Richtige für diesen Historischen Song der ins Mark geht.
You are right. 😢
Harry was only 12. It was 2 weeks before his 13th birthday. A milestone day. I feel things would be so different now if she were here. With Diana's support perhaps Meghan would've stayed in the UK.

I never knew Diana personally as I was 4 when she died. If I was at her funeral, I would be crying my eyes out.

Straordinario.come si può dimenticare la bellezza ,la semplicità della principessa Diana
I was there sitting in the square listening to Elton play 1997. Such memories. That was the hardest song Elton ever played that day.
Indeed!

HE SAID HE WOULD "NEVER BE ABLE TO PLAY IT AGAIN" AND HE HAS NOT. NOT EVEN AT THE CONCERT FOR PRINCESS DIANA.
FIBRO WARRIOR He has said he will only ever sing this version again if Prince's William and Harry ask him to.
Questa bellissima canzone mi fa piangere il cuore
