| Elton John – Candle In The Wind Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think that while this definitely applies to Marilyn Monroe, Bernie Taupin is much more subtle than that. It can apply to anyone who was 'hounded by the press' or in other ways destroyed by their own fame, but that Marliyn was obviously in mind when the song was written. "your candle burned out long before your legend ever did" can be taken to mean that while her life ended very abruptly and tragically, she will endure as a legend for much longer than her life lasted. and that goes for other such legends as well. | |
