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.

I Believe In Love
Elton John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here am I incased inside a hallow shell
Life began, Then was done
Now I stare into a cold and empty well
Living sounds that greet our ears
The sights our eyes befall
We'll open up our merging hearts
And feel our empty souls
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
Without despair, we will share
And the joys of care will not be erased
What has been, must never end
The joys of caring will not be replaced
When the seeds of love are plentiful
They won't be hard to find
And the songs of love I sang to you
Will echo in my mind
Hey!
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever. I said.
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever.
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever. Yeah!
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever.
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever.
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever.
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever. Yeah!
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever.
You know god has answered my prayers
Won't you listen to me now
God's soul answered my prayers
Won't you listen to me now
God will answer all your prayers
Just ask him and God's soul will answer all your prayers
Oh come on and lets start and love
Your the woman I've been waiting for
Come on lets start and love
Your the woman that I adore
Don't you want to
Fall in love with me baby
Don't you want to
Fall in love with me this time, this time, this time
Oh, no no no
Don't you want to fall
Don't you want to fall in love
Oh, no no no
Yeah
This time
O.K. I want you to sing this after me
It will be forever
It will be forever
Don't you want to fall in love
Come on, Come on don't you want to fall in love
With me forever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
With me forever
Don't you want to
Don't you want to fall in love with me, baby, Yeah!
Don't you want to
Don't you want to fall in love with me this time, this time, this time
Oh, no no no
Don't you want to fall in
Don't you want to fall in love
Oh, no no no. Oh!
Whoo!
Upon first glance, the lyrics of "I Believe" by George Michael appear to be a reflection of a person who has experienced disappointment and heartache in their life, leading to a feeling of desolation and emptiness. The opening lines set the tone for this sentiment, with the phrase "shattered dreams, worthless years" evoking a sense of regret and disillusionment. The lyrics convey a feeling of being trapped in a "hollow shell" with a "cold and empty well" to stare into, suggesting a lack of hope or purpose. However, in the chorus, a hopeful tone emerges. The singer declares their belief that when they fall in love with someone, it will be forever. They express a sense of faith that they will find love that endures, and that this love will provide a deep sense of meaning and connection that was previously missing. The lyrics speak to the human need for love and the belief that it can provide a sense of healing, closure, and fulfillment.
Overall, "I Believe" is a song that speaks to the ebbs and flows of life and the human desire for love and meaning. It acknowledges that disappointment and heartache are a part of the human experience but seeks to offer hope that these experiences do not have to define us. The song suggests that by maintaining a sense of faith and belief in the power of love, it is possible to find healing and closure and to move forward with a sense of purpose and hope.

@flowerninetwoseven
I believe in love
It’s all we’ve got
Love has no boundaries
Costs nothing to touch
War makes money
Cancer sleeps
curled up in my father
And that means something to me
Churches and dictators
Politics and papers
Everything crumbles
sooner or later
But love
I believe in love
It’s all we’ve got
Love has no boundaries
No borders to cross
Love is simple
hate breeds
Those who think difference
is the child of disease
fathers and son
make love and guns
families together
kill someone
without love
Without love
I wouldn’t believe
in anything
that lives and breathes
Without love
I’d have no anger
I wouldn’t believe
in the right to stand here
Without love
I wouldn’t believe
I couldn’t believe in you
and I wouldn’t believe in me
Without love
I believe in love
I believe in love
I believe in love

Мне посчастливилось быть на его концерте! Это было 7 декабря 2013 года в Казани в «Арене». Было всего 2 концерта: в Казани и Москве. Сын подарил билет и оплатил гостиницу.
Элтон Джон - мой любимый певец и композитор ещё со школы. Обожаю его!!!
Концерт был отличный! Он выложился по полной программе! Смотрела и слушала во все глаза. Думала - это всё сон...
Сидела в партере в 7 ряду. Он был совсем рядом!!!
Какой это был концерт!
Когда вспоминаю всё это - комок к горлу...
