Candle in the Wind is one of the many Elton John songs that can be played in multiple keys - This particular song sounds somewhat more somber when played in the b flat key, but in its original key of b major, it actually is as uplifting as it is sad. Like any great song, it spans the emotional ranges and has a very memorable melody. It is the prototypical singer-songwriter ballad of the early 70's.
Elton's playing incorporates many piano techniques, which is why he is so popular. He can write music in any style, which allows him to resonate with many different types of listeners. He uses straight rock&roll, classical, honky tonk, and in the latter part of his career, a lot of what would be considred in the blues genre. His playing is very smooth, soulful and refined, and instantly recognizable by most piano players. A once-in-a lifetime talent.

It is a song picked not made by Elton John for Princess Diana after her death. But it relay the message intended and dedicated for her memory.
His piano technique as usual is unique as it is Elton John.

I don't know how you can describe a song but I can tell you what I feel: it's a very emotional song.
I don't know anything about piano, I'm sorry!
