Elton John is one of my favorite artists; and I'm in awe of the brilliant duo of Elton John the musician and Bernie Taupin, his lyricist.
"I'm Still Standing" is a cut from Elton's 1983 Platinum-selling album "Too Low for Zero". "I'm Still Standing's" lyrics include the lines "I'm still standing after all this time" and "looking like a true survivor". Elton said the song was "my reaction to still being relevant and successful in the early 1980s, post punk and with the New-Romantics creeping in".
The video below was shot in Cannes and Nice on the Cote d'Azur in France. I hope you enjoy it.

He does have a ton of good songs. People that know me best can't believe I like Elton John, I'm more of a Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd kind of person, but hey when someone has good music and talent I have to admit it. I would say my top 3 favorites from Elton are Tiny Dancer, Candle in the Wind and Someone Saved my Life Tonight.

I am the same, people look at me funny if I sing something other than rock.

@andriaperry Yep, but sometimes you just have to appreciate good talent even if it is not what you normally listen too.
