Elton can indeed make people cry. Is there any other requirement?

“Song For Guy” is a six-minute instrumental piece that closes Elton’s 1978 album, “A Single Man”. It is preceded by a short introduction which is named “Reverie”. If you have “A Single Man”, you will be able to read in the credits that the song is dedicated to Guy Burchett, a seventeen-year old boy that worked at Rocket (Elton’s record company) as a messenger. He died in a motorcycle accident. There are two common misconceptions surrounding “Song For Guy”. The first is thinking that Elton wrote the song after Guy had died. He did not. He had a strange inspiration the night before the accident, and he wrote it right then. He named it upon learning the devastating news the following day. Guy Burchett Guy Burchett The other misperception involves the sole lyric of the song. This is often transcribed as “Life is a delicate thing”, when Elton is actually singing “Life isn’t everything”.

Hi Chris thanks for your AMAZING information. I've been trying to find out about that pre play to song for guy and where it came from. I just assumed Elton was improvising. It's called Reverie? Wow that's great. Has it been heard anywhere else before if so could you let me know thanks.

**Update** So I've just googled Reverie and saw that it was a 54 second track but it does not sound anything like Elton's introduction. Thanks
