Elton John – Tiny Dancer Lyrics | 17 years ago |
okay....so i didn't really read any of these comments, so i might just be repeating someone. but on the first page, some "toast" guy says that it's about a car accident (referencing the part about "jesus freaks out in the street handing tickets out for god). i think that part is a complete satire of religion/christianity in general. it's people buying god, selling god...i don't think that god is a significant part of this song. i think he's just making the point that people are radically involved in what they believe. i guess i just hear this song and don't take any of it literally. i mean...the "tiny dancer" probably isn't really a dancer. it's just this girl....he loves her. maybe not even loves her. he just knows he needs to be near her for now. she has grace. she has beauty. this is my second favorite song of all time. i think it captures love. maybe not love when it is most pure, but definitely when it is the most free. life without an agenda. this song also has has a special meaning with me because my boyfriend is a pianist and when i hear this song, i am reminded of him by the line, "piano man, he makes a stand in the auditorium." he will change the world one day. i know it. |
