I agree with what you said about "Your Song" and I do think it's one of the best love songs ever written. I also think it's the only reason anybody still cares about this album. <BR/><BR/>"Take Me To The Pilot," is the only other really good song on here. Other than those two songs, this album is either bland and dull or just okay like "The King Must Die". Bernie Taupin's lyrics here are good in a few spots (as with the aforementioned "Your Song") but mostly they're hoakey and pretentious and they don't add much to the album.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371838407458930719.post-43486155924388530072008-04-24T13:12:00.000-04:002008-04-24T13:12:00.000-04:00I think you really nailed what makes a great love ...I think you really nailed what makes a great love song.
