“Border Song” – Elton John
[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bLLbJfwbCQ]
Gospel-influenced ballad about alienation and a plea to “let us live in peace”, released as a single by Elton John in 1970.
People sometimes say a piece of music is “underrated” when the evidence suggests otherwise. But in the case of “Border Song”, it does appear to be true. At least it was underappreciated in its time, failing to chart in many countries, including John’s native UK. In the US, the record only made it to #92 on the singles chart. It was a modest success in the Netherlands (#25) and Canada (#34).
