Elton John had pretty simple instructions for Bernie Taupin, telling Rolling Stone: "I just said that I even wanted the slow songs to be optimistic. I wanted to make a happy record. 'Joyous' was the word I chose. Not happy, joyous. I said I want it to feel joyous from beginning to end, and even the slow songs should be joyous."[1]
