"Daniel" lyrics
"Daniel"
Daniel is travelin' tonight on a plane
I can see the red taillights headin' for Spain
Oh, and I can see Daniel wavin' goodbye
God, it looks like Daniel
Must be the clouds in my eyes
They say Spain is pretty, though I've never been
And Daniel says it's the best place he's ever seen
Oh, and he should know, he's been there enough
Lord, I miss Daniel
Oh, I miss him so much
Oh, Daniel, my brother, you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?
Your eyes have died, but you see more than I
Daniel, you're a star in the face of the sky
Oh, Daniel, my brother, you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?
Your eyes have died, but you see more than I
Daniel, you're a star in the face of the sky
Daniel is travelin' tonight on a plane
I can see the red taillights headin' for Spain
Oh, and I can see Daniel wavin' goodbye
God, it looks like Daniel
Must be the clouds in my eyes
Oh God, it looks like Daniel
Must be the clouds in my eyes
Writer(s): Bernie Taupin, Elton John
Bernie Taupin was inspired to write this song after he had read an article in a newspaper about a Vietnam War veteran from Texas who just wanted to return to normal life after war without too much attention he was receiving when he went back home and everyone treated him as a hero.
This song was written and recorded in one day at the the Chateau d'Herouville in France, where Elton John and his team gathered to create an album, because that environment provided a creative atmosphere free from distractions.
Elton John had to persuade the recording company to release this song as a single, because they thought it was too long and somber. The song became a hit in spite of a very little promotion.
