East End Lights - Elton Exp06!

Bring Only Love
Charity Single Exclusive to East End Lights

Davey Johnstone’s voice still strains with emotion, and he knows the pain of losing a child first hand, having lost his 9-year old son Oliver 5-years ago. Davey can relate to the hurt and anguish a family goes through when something like this happens. So moved by his experience, and wanting to help out another family who’s children were suffering from cancer, Davey sat down and wrote a song that expresses a hope and faith in the face of tragedy. Bring Only Love exemplifies that every child is a gift of love.

“I just sat down and wrote a song about this kid (Max Buelow) from my kids school who developed cancer, and when Oliver died, Max’s sister, had a form of cancer, and she is now in remission and doing great, but unfortunately Max contracted another strain of cancer (leukemia) and he was gone in 3 months, he just recently passed, he was 11. It meant a lot to us, so we showed our support for the family and I wrote a song, it’s probably the first song I’ve written in five years and basically I wrote it for the school and the family to help pay for their medical bills.” Said Johnstone.

Bring Only Love is a single recorded specifically for Max Buelow, a friend of Johnstone family. East End Lights is offering a limited supply of the single to help raise money for the Buelow family. This is an exclusive offer and all proceeds from the sale of the single will go directly to the foundation set up for the family, the Max of a Million Dreams Foundation. The cost of the single is $15.00 and it is available through our website at www.eastendlights.com.

The song was written and composed by Davey Johnstone, and other Elton John and Warpipes band mates Bob Birch and Steve Trudell. Jay Bolan provides lead vocals. The song is a moving tribute to Max Buelow, a little boy who passed away at the tender age of 11.

“Maximillian (Max) was an extraordinary young man who had a natural sense of justice, quiet dignity and a wonderful, albeit unconventional, sense of humor. Max was full dreams and schemes for his future and had an unbridled enthusiasm for life. He had a deep love of children and planned one day to work at a day care center, but what he wanted most in life was to be a daddy. Max was also the only and deeply beloved son of Tracey and David Buelow and dear brother to his sisters, Emily, Ilsa and Lena. Max’s young life ended after a four-year battle with a rare form of bone cancer. In honor of Max and out of deep love and respect for him, the Max of a Million Dreams Foundation for Cancer Research has been established to fund research into Ewings Sarcoma and other rare forms of cancer. It is the Buelow family’s greatest wish that a cure can be found for cancer. It is for this reason that the foundation which bears Max’s name is such an appropriate commemoration.” (Song liner notes)
