I'm still standing

Elton John 80's

"I'm Still Standing" by Elton John is originally in the key of B flat major. Released in 1983 as part of the album "Too Low for Zero," this upbeat pop song was a collaborative effort between Elton John and his longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin. Known for its lively melody and inspiring lyrics about resilience and recovery, the song became one of Elton John's iconic hits. The music video, featuring Elton John in vibrant settings around Cannes, France, added to its popularity. Trivia includes that the video was directed by Russell Mulcahy and features creative use of animation. The melody is energetic and catchy, with a strong, driving rhythm that complements its message of perseverance.
