Elton John has released a new music video for the single, 'A good Heart'. According to NPR Music it is the first time in nearly a decade that Elton has filmed a music video.
The video is filmed in a London studio and features actors portraying different forms of love. The song was written by by Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
Taupin states that that the song was inspired by the feeling he receives from raising his children. "I think we have a mirror image on that because we both have young kids. Mine are a little older than his, but it's interesting. That ties us together because we're such radically different characters, but the one thing that ties us together is the kids. We can both understand the perils, pitfalls and joys of raising kids."
Elton had the following to say about the song, "At this time in all our lives, when the world is changing so rapidly and we're all trying to make sense of everything, I think it's important to remember that it's not politicians, it's not money and it's not fame which make the world go round, it's love. It's something that is so easy to forget. I wanted to reflect that in this song and video."
And he does, the rising melody and dramatics of the performances by the actors relay the message Elton John conveys with the lyrics of the song.
Note the pinned heart on Elton John's blazer. It's an accessory he created in collaboration with Lady Gaga to inspire compassion and combat prejudice.
