Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding | Elton
“Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding” is the opening song on the two-part album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John. The first part, “Funeral for a Friend”, is an instrumental created by John while thinking of what kind of music he would like at his funeral. This first half segues into “Love Lies Bleeding”.
“Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding” was too long for a single release, but got plenty of airplay on FM stations that were predisposed toward rock epics, and remains a favorite whenever John performs it in concert. The whole together is just over eleven minutes long.
The song was covered by Dream Theater, and appears on the EP A Change of Seasons.
Although not officially a cover, Fuel’s “Hemorrhage (In My Hands)” contains an obvious reference to the song: “In my hands/Love lies bleeding.”
