Skyline Pigeon 

"Skyline Pigeon" is a hymnal song by Elton John, Released originally in 1968, Skyline Pigeon is considered one of the first "great" songs that he and Bernie Taupin wrote, and is about a pigeon that is flying high and free having been released from a human hand. But is written metaphorically, in a way that can be related to almost any scenario, because of this, the actual topic of the song is mostly thought to be of war, although, an individual/s can make almost any interpretation of the song. With no definitive answer given by the lyrics. Because of this, Skyline Pigeon is a popular: religious, spiritual, and traditional festival tune which can be heard at various institutions. Skyline Pigeon was released in 1968 and is the only song from that era that is still performed; It is also considered a fan favorite. Two versions of the song exist, the original Harpsichord version from 1968, and a remade piano version, from 1972, the 1972 version, is considered the most known, having appeared as a bonus, collectible track on various albums and compilations although both versions are famous.

cover song for multiple artists.

The song appears first on the
