Written in the stars?
Back in 1999, Sir Elton John released a track with Lean Rimes, called ‘Written in the Stars’. The song spells out the deep poignancy of what it is to be human.
John Benton
It is a song about love and death. It speaks about finding true love. But then, having found this wonderful, precious affection, we realise that soon it will all be over. Life is temporary. Death will inevitably come and the person or people you most treasured will be snatched away. Life seems so cruel and spiteful. It can leave you wishing you had never loved in the first place.
