Elton John – Candle in the Wind
Candle in the Wind is a tribute to Marilyn Monroe, reflecting on her life and her untimely death. The lyrics express the idea that despite her immense fame and success, she was alone and never found true solace. The singer expresses a sort of regret for never having the opportunity to get to know her. The metaphor of the candle in the wind represents the fragility and transience of life, and how Marilyn’s life was extinguished too soon, before her legend ever lived up to its potential.
