Well if Elton John can do it, why not you?

Actuallly, you should do it BECAUSE Elton John did it. Because I'm sure you won't:

a) be making lots of money out of it despite what he told the press.

b) be singing it just to say, hello, I'm here on TV being emotional in public to show what a great and caring guy I am and I was really her best friend you know.....

c) have made such a syrupy, saccharine-loaded, self pitying load of shite out of it as he did.

If you think it's a little personal, just have a look at some of the other songs doing the rounds... they are just as personal and some as tragic as the one you have. Only the passage of time and familiarity have really made them less painful; but do you remember how you felt the first time you heard something like 'He Fades away' (There's a man in my bed, I used to love him), or 'Rosemary's sister' (Rosemary came out crying but her sister never did)? Those are deeply personal and very tragic songs, but they are still being sung.

Sometimes, turning an event into a song or a poem is the only way it will be remembered, and sometimes, it needs another person to do it.
