Song |
"Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" is the opening song on the double 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. The whole piece together is just over eleven minutes long.
Covers
- The song was covered by Dream Theater, and appears on the EP A Change of Seasons.
- "Love Lies Bleeding" was covered by the Clearwater, Florida based band Très bien! on The Next Great American Band.
