Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 83.5/100, a mean average of 83.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.0.

One of my favorite Elton John Songs and it features in the 2Pac song Ghetto Gospel. I like the story about Native Americans, and the kind of the story about a american indian lost his tribe and his leader is dead.

Very interesting song, and an excellent way to follow the incredible title track. Say what you will about the lyrics themselves, but Elton narrates the story brilliantly.

Quite probably my favourite Elton John's song. So beautifully told.
