Which Elton John album contains the song “Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding”?

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road contains “Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding.”

The two-part opening track begins with an instrumental section titled “Funeral for a Friend,” followed by “Love Lies Bleeding,” a vocal song. Elton John composed the music, while Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics for the second section.

The album was released in 1973 and became one of John’s defining studio projects. Recorded partly at Château d’Hérouville in France, it combines rock, pop, glam-influenced sounds, ballads, and theatrical arrangements across a double-album sequence.

Listeners sometimes identify “Love Lies Bleeding” as a separate album opener, but the official track is presented as a combined title. The album also includes “Bennie and the Jets,” “Candle in the Wind,” and its title track.
