what is the song don't let the sun go down on me about
Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me In the song, Elton John sings to someone he has helped and from whom he is now experiencing rejection:
Just Give Me a Reason The song is about the desire to hold on to a relationship even when it appears to be breaking down.[1]
Eleanor Rigby The song is often described as a lament for lonely people[16] or a commentary on post-war life in Britain.[17][18]
Little Lion Man It's a very personal story, so I won't elaborate upon too much. Suffice to say, it was a situation in my life I wasn't very happy with or proud of... and sometimes when you can't describe a feeling with your own words, it's almost easier to express in a song. And then, when you get asked about the songs, it's quite difficult to explain. It's a conundrum – you don't want to seem self-indulgent explaining yourself; it's always awkward. Which is weird again, because it's never awkward actually singing them. I suppose the song should stand on its own and people draw their own interpretation from the words. But for me, personally, it's the lyrics that I listen to again and again in a song. I place specific importance on them. I can't write lyrics unless I really feel them and mean them, which can sometimes be quite frustrating – because if you're not feeling much at the time, you're stuck.
A Hazy Shade of Winter The lyrics recall the transition from fall to winter, as suggested by the repetition of the final chorus of the song:
98 Degrees After rejecting a series of names (including Just Us and Next Issue), the group decided on "98 Degrees" describing body temperature and their music.
