"Song for Guy" is a mainly instrumental piece of music by Elton John. It is the closing track of his 1978 album, ''A Single Man''. ==Musical structure== Elton said this in the sleeve notes of the 7" single: : ''"...As I was writing this song one Sunday, I imagined myself floating into space and looking down at my own body. I was imagining myself dying. Morbidly obsessed with these thoughts, I wrote this song about death. The next day I was told that Guy (Burchett), our 17 year-old messenger boy, had been tragically killed on his motorcycle the day before. Guy died on the day I wrote this song."'' The song opens with an octaved solo piano, which is then accompanied by a looped Roland drum machine, with occasional shaker and wind chimes alternating; other keyboards are often layered in shortly after, with a bass guitar mainly accompanying this. It is instrumental until the end, in which the line "Life isn't everything" is repeated over the primary melody. It stands as one of the few songs written by John alone. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Song for Guy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
