Beyond comfort zone 人生的初期別太任性

一首小時候就聽過好幾次的曲子，卻一直不知道名字，
只記得從頭到尾都是純鋼琴演奏，在我聽來總有一股淡淡的惆悵，思緒總會飄到某些情節故事上；
如果音樂有顏色，那這應該是灰色的吧～

直到數年前的某天下午，在溫州街的某間咖啡店，放著這首曲子，
一切是如此偶然與巧合，
我衝到吧台去問，希望能看一下專輯背面的曲目，
像是歷經千萬尋覓後，終於找著童年的某塊時光碎片。

（不過一般坊間收錄的似乎是經過變奏的版本，顯得較為輕快～跟Youtube連結上Elton John演唱的版本略有出入）


以下是Wiki對這首曲子介紹及典故，原來是Elton John為了紀念一條早夭的年輕生命所譜寫：

"Song for Guy" is an instrumental piece of music by Elton John. It is the closing track off his 1978 album, A Single Man and is the best known song from that album.

Elton said this in the sleeve notes of the 7" 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."

The song opens with solo piano. Shortly after the intro, a percussion section comes in, with additional wind chimes and synthesizers layered in as the melody repeats. The song is instrumental until the end, in which the line "Life, isn't everything" is repeated over the primary melody line of the song.
