The singer who previously won an Oscar with Sir Tim Rice, for “Can You Feel The Love Tonight”, also had this to say. “Scarecrow will always have a very special place in my heart, and I know that Bernie feels the same way too”, Elton John said. The other tracks include, “Keep It A Mystery”, “Smokestack Children”, “Two Of A Kind”, “Conquer The Sun”, and “Holiday Inn”. The last six tracks that were released from the box set including “Scarecrow”, mean that the collection is now fully available for the first time on digital platforms. The song is included in a collection of 148 tracks called “Elton: Jewel Box” from a career spanning from 1965 to 2019. Scarecrow was the only track that did not go to auction however. In 2018, Taupin sold his lyrics to manuscripts. That track contained the line “I used to know this old scarecrow, He was my song, My joy and sorrow”. This collaboration was mentioned in Taupin’s track “Curtains” from his 1975 album “Captain Fantastic”, as well as “The Brown Dirt Cowboy”. Taupin had already written the lyrics, but this is the first time that John put music to Taupin’s words.
