Theme & Lyrics ✍
“I’m Still Standing” features a quick tempo, which bodes well in its favor. Furthermore, it’s an incredibly groovy and infectious record from the onset. Elton John serves up enthusiastic vocals. The melody is rhythmic – incredibly quick. Furthermore, musically, John concocts some nice harmonic moments, playing between major and parallel minor keys. Of course, it’s those exceptional lyrics by 🎼 ✍ Bernie Taupin that Elton masterfully brings to life. “I’m Still Standing” features one of the catchiest, most recognizable choruses of all time:
“Don’t you know I’m still standin’ better than I ever did?
Lookin’ like a true survivor, feelin’ like a little kid
And I’m still standin’ after all this time
Pickin’ up the pieces of my life without you on my mind.”
Also, it’s worth shouting out the brief but ear-catching electric guitar solo. Another also – the music video is a treat itself!
