Skyline Pigeon
"Skyline Pigeon" is a ballad by Elton John with lyrics by Bernie Taupin. It is the eighth track on his first album, ''Empty Sky''. It was originally released in August 1968 as a single on the Pye label by Guy Darrell and simultaneously by Roger James Cooke on Columbia Records. It was also recorded by Deep Feeling, a band of which Guy Darrell was a member, in 1970, Dana, and Gene Pitney on his ''Pitney '75'' album.
==Musical structure==
The original recording from the ''Empty Sky'' album has Elton John on harpsichord and organ. It is the only song on the album with John without other musicians. He wrote the song in the style of a hymn. The lyrics of the song are metaphorical - describing a pigeon that is flying high and free having been released from a human hand, with the line in the second verse, ''but most of all please free me from this aching metal ring'', possibly revealing a human longing to be released from a broken marriage and set free to pursue new, truer dreams and ambitions - a theme that would reappear in 1975's ''Someone Saved My Life Tonight'', using a similar metaphor of a butterfly flying free. Though there exists also the more literal interpretation of a war pigeon, as they were most commonly used to carry urgent messages in a small capsule affixed to the leg with metal bands, and carried on the backs of soldiers in small cages with a single wire door for the pigeon to look out of.
