Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Whether he's collaborating with longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin or other songwriters (such as his Lion King partner, Tim Rice) Elton John has written and performed some of the most cherished love songs in the pop-music canon. This career-spanning retrospective spotlights that particular aspect of his artistry, focusing on classics such as "Your Song", "Believe", "The One", "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word", and "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me". The album takes a rather expansive view of the concept--there are also tracks here such as "Daniel", which is less a love song than a tribute to a wounded war veteran, and a live take of "Candle in the Wind", which, kiddies, was once a song about Marilyn Monroe, not Princess Diana. John's Lion King triumphs--"Can You Feel the Love Tonight" and "Circle of Life"--are included, as are a pair of new tracks, "You Can Make History (Young Again)" and "No Valentines". The album may stray from the topic a bit, but there's little doubt that these songs are among his most essential. --Daniel Durchholz
CD Description
LOVE SONGS is a career-spanning collection that takes greatliberty with what it means to be a love song. It includes some of John's biggest, and most obvious, pop standards, suchas "Your Song" and "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word", and reels in a few songs that have never appeared on an Elton John album, including his two Grammy-winning songs from THE LION KING and his duet with George Michael on "Don't Let TheSun Go Down On Me".
It also includes several ballads that stretch the boundary of love songdom. "Daniel" is a gorgeous ballad about some sort of loss; it was written as a tribute to a Vietnam vet. "Circle Of Life", one of THE LION KING tracks, is a pop song about growing up that expresses a wondrous love for the mystery of life without being about "love"at all. And the rock ballad "No Valentines", one of two newsongs written for this collection with longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin, is a vicious breakup note. They almost all sound like classic love songs, though, because of John's gift for composing ballads and his sweet British tenor. No matter what he's singing about, it's easy to fall in love with the sound.
