John was raised in the Pinner suburb of London and learned to play piano at an early age, forming the blues band Bluesology in 1962. After leaving Bluesology in 1967 to embark on a solo career, John met Taupin after they both answered an advert for songwriters. For two years, they wrote songs for other artists, and John worked as a session musician for artists. John released his debut album Empty Sky in 1969, and a year later formed the Elton John Band and released his first hit single, "Your Song".
John's critical success was at its peak in the 1970s when he released a streak of chart-topping albums in the US and UK, which began with Honky Château (1972) and culminated with Rock of the Westies (1975). John continued his success in the 1980s and 1990s, having several hit singles and albums in both decades, and has continued to record new music since then. He has also had success in musical films and theatre, composing music for The Lion King, Aida, and Billy Elliot the Musical. In 2018, John began his ongoing farewell tour Farewell Yellow Brick Road, which is scheduled to conclude in 2023. The 2019 biopic Rocketman dramatized his life and career.
Outside of music, John is an HIV/AIDS charity fundraiser and has been involved in the fight against AIDS since the late 1980s. He established the Elton John AIDS Foundation in 1992, which has raised over £300 million since its inception, and a year later he began hosting his annual Foundation Academy Awards Party, which has since become one of the biggest high-profile Oscar parties in the Hollywood film industry. John was the chairman and director of Watford F.C, from 1976 to 1987, and again from 1997 to 2002, and is an honorary life president of the club. From the late 1970s to the late 1980s, John developed a severe addiction problem to drugs and alcohol but has been sober since 1990. He entered into a civil partnership with Canadian filmmaker David Furnish in 2005; they married after same-sex marriage became legal in England and Wales in 2014.
John has sold over 300 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. He has more than fifty Top 40 hits on the UK Singles Chart and US Billboard Hot 100, including nine number-ones in the UK and US, as well as seven consecutive number-one albums in the US. His tribute single "Candle in the Wind 1997", a rewritten version of his 1974 single in dedication to Princess Diana, sold over 33 million copies worldwide and is the best-selling chart single of all time. In 2021, John became the first solo artist with UK Top 10 singles across six decades.
John has received numerous awards, including five Grammy Awards, five Brit Awards; including for Outstanding Contribution to Music; two Academy Awards, two Golden Globes, a Tony Award, a Laurence Olivier Award, a Disney Legend Award, and the Kennedy Center Honor. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1992 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and is a fellow of The Ivors Academy. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for services to music and charitable services in 1998 and was appointed a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour by King Charles III (then Prince of Wales) in 2020.

Can You Feel the Love Tonight
Elton John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the rush of day
When the heat of a rolling wind
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight? (tonight)
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight? (tonight)
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
There's a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours
And can you feel the love tonight? (tonight)
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight? (tonight)
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
Elton John’s “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” is a song that explores the feeling of falling in love and the sense of contentment that comes with it. The first verse describes a moment of peace amidst the chaos of everyday life when the singer finds comfort in the presence of their lover. The second verse speaks to the wider world: that although life can be unpredictable like a “twisting kaleidoscope,” there is a reason to everything that happens, especially when we find someone to love.
The chorus asks the question, "Can you feel the love tonight?" which acts as a rhetorical question for the listener to consider the depth of their own feelings. The lyrics emphasize that the love between the two people is enough to make them believe in the best things even when times are tough, whether they are a king or a vagabond, rich or poor.
The song is not so much about romantic love but rather the love shared between two people who have a deep connection, implying that the love between the two people is almost spiritual in nature.
Line by Line Meaning
There's a calm surrender
At times, it is necessary to retreat peacefully and accept the flow of life
To the rush of day
To the unstoppable march of time and daily routine
When the heat of a rolling wind
When the external pressures and chaos of the world seem overwhelming
Can be turned away
Can be dismissed or forgotten when one is with a loved one
An enchanted moment
A fleeting, magical experience
And it sees me through
And it helps me cope with the challenges of life
It's enough for this restless warrior
It is sufficient for someone who is always seeking more
Just to be with you
To be in the presence of someone they love and care about
And can you feel the love tonight? (tonight)
Can you sense the affection we have for each other in this moment?
It is where we are
It is the current situation we find ourselves in together
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
It satisfies someone who is often searching for new experiences and adventures
That we got this far
That we have come this distance as a couple or with help from each other
How it's laid to rest?
How the love we share is put to rest or forgotten?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
It is sufficient to move and inspire individuals of all types, regardless of status or background
Believe the very best
To trust and have faith in the positive possibilities of life
There's a time for everyone
There is a moment for each person to find love
If they only learn
If they take the time to understand themselves and the world around them
That the twisting kaleidoscope
That the constantly changing nature of life and relationships
Moves us all in turn
Affects and impacts us in unique ways
There's a rhyme and reason
There is always purpose and meaning in one's path in life
To the wild outdoors
To the unpredictable and powerful force of nature
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
When the emotional center of someone who has struggled to find love
Beats in time with yours
Aligns and synchronizes with the heart of their soulmate or partner
