Music Sheet

Short Info

“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. Elton said this in the sleeve notes of the 7-inch 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.
