#86
THE LAST SONG
“…Tonight we touched on
the things that were never spoken,
that kind of understanding
sets me free....
"The Last Song" is one of Elton John's most moving tracks. It was included on his 1992 album 'The One'. His regular songwriting partner Bernie Taupin penned the lyrics. 
The ballad deals with the relationship between a man and his father. Relations between the 2 were strained. Now, as the younger of the 2 is struggling with an A.I.D.S. related illness, the father has come to be by his gay son's side. Faced with the reality of what is happening, the 2 are finally reunited.
As new songs are covered on this blog, a definitive version will be added to a spotify playlist. Find it and the other Caffé Latté playlists at:
