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)

To me, one of the most underrated songs ever. Kinda one of those times where Elton and Bernie just got it RIGHT. Undeniable chorus and melody.
Just a properly great song. Personal and meaningful. One of those songs everyone takes in their own unique way.
One of Elton's greatest songs.
