1. Does Elton John have a new album out? Lately, they’ve been playing a song with the chorus saying “And sometimes, you find the answers in the sky…” Sounds new to me. I’m pretty familiar with his stuff from A-Z…

2. What kinda-recent Elton John song talks about the love between a father and his son? On what CD would I find it?

Thanks,

- Jinx

I can’t answer your first question, but the song you’re talking about is The Last Song and can be found on the album The One.

Apparently Elton has a new album scheduled for release in November called _Peachtree Road_. _Answer In The Sky_ is one of the songs on the new album.

Also, if you’re not already familiar with it, you might find more information on the album at Elton’s web site: [http://www.eltonjohn.com](http://www.eltonjohn.com)

I thought you might have heard the Scissor Sisters and their extremely Elton John-y song “Take Your Mama.” I was wrong! I’m glad someone else had a clue. Mine went missing.

In 1973.
