Recover Your Soul

1998 single by Elton John

"Recover Your Soul" is a song by English musician Elton John, written by John and Bernie Taupin. It was released in April 1998 by Mercury and Rocket as the second single from John's twenty-fifth studio album, The Big Picture (1997). The song passed a little bit in the shadow of a huge-success single "Something About the Way You Look Tonight" / "Candle in the Wind 1997". John played this song a couple of times in between 1998 and 1999.[1]

Critical reception

A reviewer from Music Week gave the song two out of five, writing, "An optimistic follow-up to "Candle '97" will be a relief for many but, while sure to please his fans, this track is far from a classic Elton record."[2] The magazine's Alan Jones added, "An easy-paced and unforced mid-tempo AOR song, it draws a fine vocal from Elton, redolent of his superb interpretation of "Sacrifice", and its optimistic tone is ideal for radio."[3]

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Recover Your Soul" was directed by German director Marcus Nispel and shot at the Loew's Jersey Theatre in Jersey City with actor/comedian Victor Varnado as the role of the gramophone angel.
