Elton John, Rocket Man Rocket Man is a song from Elton John. It was released on September 17, 1997 as the lead single from his album The Single Factor. It peaked at number two in France and reached top five positions in many other countries including the United Kingdom, Canada, Sweden and Norway. In the US it peaked at number six on Billboard Hot 100 and became his second consecutive Pop Airplay number-one hit following Candle In The Wind 1996 –1997: The Greatest Hits Album. The lyrics were written by Elton John as an expression of his feelings about U2's Bono as well as a sympathetic response to those who have been involved with war or conflict during their lifetime. The music was written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. The song is based on the science fiction novel "Rocket Man" by Walter Tevis. It tells the story of a man who escapes from his spaceship's bombsight to hide in a space station one million miles above Earth, all the while dodging space debris. The protagonist of the novel does this so he can avoid being martyrised by those who have died or are dying in recent wars. He is powerless to prevent them from drifting away into oblivion, but he would rather be dead than let them down. The song was inspired by this story. A live version of the song was available on a CD single released in 1999, and a live version from one of his concerts in 1999 is also included on the album "Here and There" from 2003. The track is also included on the "To Be Continued..." box set from 2006. This song has been used many times in American television, mainly during significant events such as Hurricane Katrina and following 9/11. It has been used by NBC to promote their late Friday night programming including "Friday Night Lights" and "Life". It was also used by CBS to promote their series finale of long-running drama "ER". The song was featured in the movie "Iron Man and Hulk: Heroes United". It was also used as a tribute to the Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia crews who all lost their lives to space exploration. This song has also been used as an introduction for The X-Files episode "Nothing Important Happened Today" as well as the opening scene of the first episode of season 3 of Prison Break. Release Date: September 17, 1997 On April 19, 1998, Celine Dion recorded an English-language adaptation of "Rocket Man" entitled "You and I", which appears on her album, These Are Special Times. Despite already having released an English-language version of "The Greatest Love of All" (entitled "Moment of Truth"), on her 1996 album, Let's Talk About Love, Celine Dion recorded another English-language version the same year entitled "All The Way... A Decade of Song". Although the latter was already included on her first greatest hits album, also titled All The Way... A Decade of Song, released in November 1997, it had a different arrangement and lyrics. Both versions are included on Canadian maxi single CD/MC release which went on sale in October 1997.
