The 10 best Elton John deep cuts (Far Out Magazine)

Elton John has been music royalty for decades, and here we look at the musician's 10 best deep cuts featuring 'Roy Rogers', 'Elton's Song' and more.

Some musical fluff might be added to a few of his songs, but his nostalgia for his youth in ‘Roy Rogers’ is about as pure as he will ever get. Reminiscing on their days watching old westerns on TV, Taupin’s portrait of watching Roy Rogers and Trigger’s adventures makes the listener feel like they’re right next to him in the theatre, watching him discover his love for the first time. In between those sequins was a heart of gold, and ‘Levon’ was one of the first character pieces that seemed a bit close to the chest. This tune might not have been the first thing that most Elton John fans would have expected, but there’s a good chance that Bernie Taupin was trying to compete with Bruce Springsteen when writing this tune. Then again, this song almost sneaks up on the listener when it gets started, sounding like a simple happy-go-lucky tune in the beginning as John weaves in and out of the verses. Penning this ballad as a reminder of home, ‘Country Comfort’ is the kind of song anyone could relate to when pining for home. While John has made no secret about his sexuality in the past, this semi-autobiographical song is about a boy coming to terms with his homosexuality and feeling comfortable in his skin. The ‘70s was the golden age of the singer-songwriter, and he was ready to make something heartbreaking on the next album. While ‘Saturday Night’s Alright’ might be the more identifiable song of his rock phase, John kicked some ass a little earlier on the record in ‘Grey Seal’. From his enduring pop hits to some of the fiercer songs in his catalogue, nothing was ever off the table for John to try as long as he had lyricist Bernie Taupin by his side. Instead of looking back with any bitter regret, John seems content to see his life in the rearview, as if the listener is hearing him dig up some old photo albums and seeing glimpses of his past. As much as John could turn any melody into solid gold, the context of the words is enough to make any jaded music fan shed a tear.

“Can You Feel the Love Tonight” won John his first of two Oscars — he won again in 2020 for “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” from his biopic “Rocketman.” In 1998, John received his first of three Tony nominations for his work with “The Lion King,” and won three years later for his contribution to “Aida,” which was another collaboration with Rice. He’s one of the best-selling artists of all time, has received the Kennedy Center Honor, a Disney Legend Award and a Laurence Olivier Award, and has been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He and husband David Furnish founded the Elton John Charitable Trust in 2007, which has offered support to more than 100 charitable causes. Most famously, his 1974 ballad “Candle in the Wind” was re-written in 1997 as a tribute to Princess Diana, and remains the second-highest-selling single of all time. In 1994, he collaborated with lyricist Tim Rice to write the songs for Disney’s “The Lion King,” three of which were nominated for Academy Awards for Best Original Song. From glam rock hits like “Bennie and the Jets” to powerful ballads like “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” to funky upbeat tunes like “Crocodile Rock,” John proved himself a diverse and talented artist who would influence the generations who followed.
