SONG The song's main character, Daniel caused a lot of theories, mostly incorrect. A rumour was created that it was about Taupin's brother. This was wrong, and in the end, people discovered the song was about an entirely fictional Daniel, a blind Vietnam veteran. In an original plan of the song, more lyrics would have revealed more of a past to Daniel. But some say the mystery surrounding the song made it all the more enjoyable and it quickly reached #2 on the Pop charts and #1 on the Adult Contemporary charts for two weeks in the Spring of 1973 . COVERS "Daniel" was covered on the '' by Wilson Phillips . "Daniel" was covered on the 2005 album ''The Brave and the Bold'' by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & Tortoise . |
