Another possibility was that there was a big event happening in the US. I think that Elton heard David sing Star Man somewhere else or that both Elton and David got the inspiration from the book, that was mentioned above, which I'm not sure. 1972 but David started recording from 1971. According to Wiki, Elton started recording the album, including this song, Jan. I think that the first idea of the lyrics of the song, Rocket Man, came from the song, called Star Man, written and sung by David Bowie in early 1972 as same as released Rocket Man sung by Elton John early 1972. Most Elton John songs are about religion.
#ROCKET MAN LYRICS ELTON JOHN CODE#
The piso used Pythagoran number six as their code in biblical writings. That's Sumerian polytheistic god El with Pythagorean number 6, which is called the perfect number. They created a messiah, mashiak, to end the Jewish squabble. When getting to Mars being cold as hell, lyrics are saying pisos were cold hearted. This then accidentally created Christianity. Then they created another mashiak to end Judaism. The mars reference in the song is referring to arrius piso. Lynn from UsaRocket man is about science destroying religion.I think David Bowie' hit, Star Man and Elton John's Rocket Man, were big influence to Roger and The Dark Side Of The Moon. So Roger had spent enough time to plan to target the listeners in the country and produed the album called The Dark Side Of The Moon in 1973. Because everyone in the world knew about this and the band, Pink Floyd, was not known in the US. I think that this remarkable thing made people surprised including musicians a lot ! Pink Floyd was one of them so Roger, the leader of the band, was so interested in this and got the idea form this, I think. The US sent the men on the moon for the first time in 1969 that was a groudbreaking event of the human history. Thank you for a great article, and for understanding what this great song is really about. DSotM uses it again in "The Great Gig in the Sky".Įlton John became such a prolific hit-making artist that many rockers of the time sort of dismissed him as a pop star, and not a real rocker, but his way of playing the piano influenced all the piano players who came after him, including Richard Wright of Pink Floyd. The first two chords of Rocketman-a Gm7 to a C9, with the upper part of the chord staying basically the same, while the bass moving from G to C changes the chord-is the exact same chord movement used in Pink Floyd's "Breathe" from Dark Side of the Moon. I wanted to add something to what Kawa from Tokyo says below here. Bob Zilla Devore from ChicagoThis is a great in-depth article about a great song.It's quite sad thinking it will be a long long time until he returns to himself. "Mars" could refer to the music business or Hollywood as "no place to raise your kids" being "cold as hell" without real love. It's lonely out in "space" at the top of pop culture, but everything in your life looks spectacular. TxI think Rocket Man is a lament about stardom. Maybe one of them is an artist or musician and another is a "normal" person. JonasI think its about a difficult relationship where people lives in separate worlds.

Instead, Howard's mother asks him(at voice volume 11) if he wants some Froot Loops - that's the moniker that stuck, much to Howard's chagrin.
