On August 31st, 1997, a very famous women dead in a car crash in Paris. She was Prince William and Prince Harry’s mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. So Elton John wrote a song called “Candle In The wind 1997” in honor of Diana. I chose this song because this song is very famous in the world. The first time I heard the song was on YouTube. And I was attracted by the beautiful melody and the impressive lyrics.

Elton John is an English singer-songwriter, composer. He is one of the best-selling music artists in the world. And he received six Grammy Awards, five Brit Awards, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Tony Award and the Kennedy Center Honors in 2004. His song, ”Can you feel the love tonight ”, is also very famous in the world. It is a song from Disney's 1994 animated film “The Lion King”.

Actually，there have another version of this song, it called Candle In The wind, its different with Candle In The wind 1997, they have same melody, but their lyrics are different. It was written in 1973，in honor of a very famous American actress, Marilyn Monroe. The Diana’s death shocked Elton John, as they had been very good friends for many years. So Elton John re-written and re-recoded the “Candle in the wind ” in honor of Diana.
