This video was produced retrospectively and was the winner of a competition to celebrate 50 years of Elton John and Bernie Taupin writing together. Love Elton John's piano, he always does something special rather than playing plain old chords.
Of all the songs I have heard in my life, I have heard this the most. This song holds a very special place in my heart. I was blessed 2 years ago to see Elton in concert In Newark NJ. To me he is one of the top 3 greatest single artists of all time.
I’m SO glad you asked about one of my FAVORITE expressions: ‘Pirate smile.” Consider when a pirate puts to sea to do his job, to rob and steal on the high seas, what would make him smile? The sight of a ship he intends to chase down and rob. Consider athletics. An athlete is competing against another and he detects a weakness in his opponent, especially one he wasn’t aware of when the contest starts. If you know the athlete you’ll see him/her flash a smile, meaning, “Ok, I’m in a fight but I’ve discovered an advantage that makes me confident in my victory!” That’s a ‘pirate smile.’
I have hand the honor of seeing Sir Elton on 5 occasions! My favorite was when he and Billy Joel were together on the same stage, for a couple of hours! Oh, what a great night of music!
This song beautifully LA! The quality of the music. The cinematography. WOW. Very accurate. My wife who passed was all LA woman. This song with this video, totally wrecks me. She was my everything. My wife. My life. I’m not crying. I’m not. Over four decades. She was my tiny dancer. I’ve been walking alone for five years. When I watch this video, she is right next to me, one more time!!! Thank God❤️🙏🔥
One of my favorites is "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting". Elton John, released in 1973, I think. You might like it. He has so many good ones. Thanks for your usual great reaction. God bless you!
Hi, this man is a hit maker, over 300 millions records sold. a part in 70's he had 8% of all records sold in the world= WOW, a good live is with the melbourne symphonie,i think 1986, the songs arrangements are fantastic. 👏
I put off seeing Elton John in concert for most of my life and I never knew why, but I am SO glad I saw him on his farewell tour. Most expensive concert tickets of my life, but so worth it. The guy was almost 75 years old and his voice still sounds amazing! It was a bucket list event for sure.
Check out "Almost Famous Tiny Dance scene". It was featured in the movie Almost Famous, which as a music fan, you really should check out. I'll give you a quick set up for the scene. A kid wanting to be a reporter for Rolling Stone magazine is following around this fictional band called Stillwater. They are on tour and you see how the band is getting exhausted. And this scene reminds them of why they are in this business - it's about the music.
There are so many amazing songs by Elton, which is why he is my favorite artist of all time. This is definitely one of them. I also recommend Believe, Philadelphia Freedom, and Crocodile Rock. Great reaction Biss!! ❤🎹👏🔥
Elton John performed this live on The Old Grey Whistle Test, after it was released in 1971, just he and his piano. Well worth finding. Also, the movie Almost Famous uses it beautifully. I enjoyed your reaction and this "LA Centric" video, which I had never seen. 50 PLUS years after first hearing this, even more magical, with the layers of years...
Good one! There's a funny joke about this song from the TV show "Friends", that it sounds like he's singing, "Hold me closer, Tony Danza!" But, you never watched "Friends", and I'm sure you have no idea who Tony Danza is. Tony Danza was an actor that had been famous first, for being on a TV show called "Taxi", then later a show when I was a kid called "Who's The Boss", and some movies. I believe when his acting career dried up, he became a school teacher. The joke is funny though, because I used to also think that's what he was saying, and I'm sure that me and the writers of "Friends" weren't the only ones to think that. There's a lot of funny interpretations of lyrics that people thought they were hearing compared to the actual lyrics. Though I guess it wouldn't make any sense if you don't already know the songs.
The teaching stint was part of Tony's career. It was a reality series on A&E. Tony is currently acting in a role on 50 Cent's show Power. Though Tony is not currently acting in any high-profile starring roles, he still is a very active actor, recently acting in a memorable role on Blue Bloods.
@@thomastimlin1724ya or the Bitch is Back. Elton was like the Beatles in that he wrote (with Bernie Taupin) ballads and rockers. But people do tend to associate him with his ballads. Which is ironic given his outrageous stage outfits.
@@RJS1974 Yep. Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding ain’t soft rock. And some of his early stuff like “take me to the Pilot” are flat out rockers as well. His catalog is quite in line with the Beatles, yes. Billy Joel too. A little bit of everything.
The video pays homage to radio as a medium, because when you hear a song on the radio, you are never alone. Thousands of others are listening and singing along with you, all while going about their daily lives. This gives you glimpses into peoples lives around LA while they jam along with the song . Great video.
Hello! I have just seen a few of your reviews - Queen/EJ/Disturbed while looking for something else and thought that you had a good take on the songs, were insightful and stunning. Keep up the good work. "How wonderful life is, now you're in the world"
I found a beautiful singer from Brazil. She has one of the prettiest voices you could ever hear. Name is Ystefani Oliveira and shes on RUclips and tiktok. She regularly has 1.5K-3.5K views and 500K and up likes. So shes very popular and incredibly beautiful. Scroll down to the date February 19 2024 where she sings FAITHFULLY. If you don't listen to her you're seriously missing out. Thank you Bisscute.
This song & several other early Elton John creations with just him and his piano appeared on old 'Live At Top of The Pops'....a BBC produced TV series from England.... Great clips with good quality sound.... from the early 1970s. Anything from that era by him is fun to look at. His golden era.
This song was releasd, long before you were born, in 1972, I was 4 when this cong came out, but, amazing how it is still so relelvent and can spin into tday with this video.
Hi Miss Bisscute 👋 Elton John Had Many Great Hits Some as Beautiful as ( Candle 🕯️ in the Wind to as Brutal As ( Good- Bye England's Rose 🌹 💞) for the Peoples Princess the Lady Diana🕯️ ( RIP ) Still so many other remarkable Hits through His Career I will List below 1) Daniel 2) I Guess that's why they call it the blues 3 ) Good - Bye Yellow Brick road 4) Blue Eyes 5) Circle of Life 🧬 Yet there are Many more !!! As always the like button 🔘 has been Illuminated 😁👍👍😎🤗🌎🎶🎵🎹🎙️
@@650Max Thank you for your Comment Yet I Have only My Humble opinion !!! I don't think she Had put her affairs in order & that's why she was put to rest in the UK I Think she was loved By the 🌎 World way More than Her own country or the outrage toward Charles would Have been more excessive !!! Her Warmth, Grace & Charm Was even more than the Royals could portray at the Time !!! Have A great Day 😊
@@650Max Note :Come on 10 years on You Tube & 2 Subs with Nothing no Files ,No Music & A Cat for a Thumbnail Really Stop hiding in the Dark & Step into the Light 🕯️ Princess Diana was A Legend ✨☀️
@@yellowbeardjamesgibson9297 I didn't realise being a RUclips creator or having to share my viewing and tastes was compulsory, or at least neccessary for being able to comment. As a Brit, I found the Diana funeral circus extremely distaseful and a national embarrassment. And the cat? A much loved and sadly missed companion, I can't imagine many saying that about a pirate.
@@650Max Thank you for Being A Person & Not A Bot !!! You have your right to your Opinions & Feelings & I will never Force you to be anyone other than who you are !!!! It's nice to see people respond to truth & Facts over propaganda !!! I look forward to any Facts & thoughts you may Have for debate & communication is the only way to move forward ( IMHO ) 🤗
Not sure anyone comented on it yet but the guy with the snake is Marilyn Manson. A famous 1990's shock rock god. If you want to look him up try out Sweet Dreams. A cover from Eurithmics.
As others have said, this song was featured in a movie about a teenage boy who loves rock music and hustles a job at ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine and is assigned to follow this band. The lead guitarist and the boy go off to a party, the guitarist takes too much LSD and the band has to come collect them at some house party. The song shows the redemptive power of music to bring people (back) together. ruclips.net/video/_qW9wqUI4Lg/видео.htmlsi=Sh3L8XPBwDI94pgB
Candle in the Wind. Benny and the Jets. Don't Go Breaking my Heart. Circle of Life. Something About The Way You Look Tonight. Sad Songs. Levon. Rocket Man. Daniel. I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That. Here's just a sample of Sir Elton John's song library. There are many, many more.
Seen the look on your face, with the one line I have always questioned myself. "And now she's in me, and will always be with me", I've always wondered if he was a cannibal right at that moment 😂😂😂😂
This song is so beautiful. For me (and I'm not saying I'm right or wrong about it) it's showing individuality. No one on Earth is exactly alike. Some people like certain things while others dislike the same thing. It can be music, lifestyle, fashion, animals, politics, religion, food, drink, social activities, etc, etc, etc. No two people are exactly the same yet we all have one thing in common. What is that one thing? We're all just trying to get through life living it the way that helps us best deal with it. The message is: Please don't judge anyone, because you don't know what they've been through or what they're dealing with. Just try to live the best life you can and be compassionate to others and hope they are to you as well. Biss, PLEASE react to Elton John's "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me". I looked it up and saw you previously reacted to Putri Ariani singing it on AGT, but trust me, you'll absolutely LOVE listening and reacting to Elton John's performance. You'll get to hear the instrumental part, which in my opinion really takes the song to a different level, and you'll get to hear Elton's magical singing and piano with his emotions as well. You'll love it, I know you will. One last thing, as many others have mentioned already, this song is played in a wonderful movie called "Almost Famous". The scene in which this song is played is the best part of the movie in my opinion. I realize this channel is for song reactions and not movie reactions, but it somewhat coincides since I can never not think about this song without thinking about that scene in the movie. You should check it out. If not, no worries, I love this song, I loved your reaction, and "liked" it of course. Thank you Biss.
Grab any album of Elton John's and be ready for some of the best music you'll ever enjoy. There is no end to the list of great songs. I was in my early 20 in 1970-71 time frame when Elton hit the air waves for the first time. Soon we all understood greatness had arrived in the form of this new guy from England that could melt us with one song and then blow up a 50,000 seat stadium with some of the best rock n roll you'll ever hear. I heard or read once, Elton put the lyrics of Your Song to music in 15 minutes. Bernie would hand Elton a sheet with lyrics and Elton's mind would say, oh, these words sound like this and away he'd go and brilliance would be there when he finished. Bernie and Elton can and should share the top of the mountain with Paul McCartney and John Lennon as the greatest creators of modern music.
For more Elton song suggestions: Rocket Man (studio or live...both are amazing) Someone Saved My Life Tonight (the top of Elton and the original band, before things fell apart in the mid-70s) Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding (his classic Epic he almost always opens his concerts with...and 11 minutes + long) All the Girls Love Alice (Something a bit away from the typical melodic Elton love song) The Bitch is Back (a funny hit from 1974)
I'm not sure why this comes to mind (maybe you mention that you LOVE to sing along), but the song "I Got a Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas, seems like a perfect fit for you! It's on my going out on the town play list. Make sure to watch the official video! Cheers Biss, and thanks!
Hello Bisscute, beautiful melody and even more so in the interpretation of the maestro Elton John, I thought you were going to refer a little more to the lyrics, I understand that it was composed by his great friend Bernie Topin, while Elton was in charge of putting it to music and to interpret it. The girl referred to in the song really existed, her name is Maxime Feibelman, whom they met in Los Angeles, she was a seamstress for Elton's band when they toured the United States in the 70s, which later resulted in the marriage of Topin and Feibelman, hence the multiple references in the song's lyrics to all these experiences. Greetings and a hug, dear friend, and thank you for continuing to present such interesting material to us. It would be nice if one day you could react to Mon Laferte.
Great! Others to try: Rocket Man, Someone Saved My Life Tonight, Candle in the Wind (1973, Marilyn Monroe version), Your Song, Daniel, Curtains, High Flying Bird, Original Sin, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Sacrifice, Bennie & the Jets, The One, Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word, Nikita...so many. For upbeat I'm Still Standing, and for heavier atmospheric rock with instrumental opener Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding (classic album track).
I think Elton John is one of those rare performers who’s live performances are always as good as the studio recordings, and in my opinion more enjoyable than the official videos.
I love this song and have for decades! Good music very often means any song from Elton John or Billy Joel. So hard to pick something from them that isn't great.
HIGHLY recommend the whole "Caribou" album, but particularly the haunting song "Ticking", it's a real serious song. Followed up by "All the Girls Love Alice".
The "Almost Famous" use of this is the best.
This song was immortalized in the movie.
On the tour bus, yeah? Cracking scene. Credit to whoever visualised and wrote it.
My favorite movie!
It was incendiary! Biss ought to watch the uncut version of the film on her other channel! She'll be all the better for it!
Good movie. I own it on DVD. Old school my a**..... William s
Fine, I'll point it out. That was Marilyn Manson with the snake, if no one noticed.
Yeah, I'm surprised no one brought that up. He's got a pretty unique look, it would be nearly impossible not to recognize him.
@jonlate4581 This is the first time I've seen this video and I recognized him.
The older I get, the more teary-eyed I get listening to music of my youth. Because now I listen alone. Thanks for your channel.
I'm listening with you.

the song 'madman across the river' - IS his best..and one of the best ever
@@blueboy4244 agreed.

Elton John and his buddy had a ton of good tunes.

Funeral for a friend,is another song by him you should listen to
The song is from 1971, the music video from 2017.

Elton started out as a concert pianist. However, there was no money in it and turned to soft rock where he succeeded.
Yes soft rock songs like Saturday night's All Right For Fighting lol

This song is so beautiful. For me (and I'm not saying I'm right or wrong about it) it's showing individuality. No one on Earth is exactly alike. Some people like certain things while others dislike the same thing. It can be music, lifestyle, fashion, animals, politics, religion, food, drink, social activities, etc, etc, etc. No two people are exactly the same yet we all have one thing in common. What is that one thing? We're all just trying to get through life living it the way that helps us best deal with it.

Just try to live the best life you can and be compassionate to others and hope they are to you as well.
Biss, PLEASE react to Elton John's "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me".
I looked it up and saw you previously reacted to Putri Ariani singing it on AGT, but trust me, you'll absolutely LOVE listening and reacting to Elton John's performance. You'll get to hear the instrumental part, which in my opinion really takes the song to a different level, and you'll get to hear Elton's magical singing and piano with his emotions as well. You'll love it, I know you will.
One last thing, as many others have mentioned already, this song is played in a wonderful movie called "Almost Famous". The scene in which this song is played is the best part of the movie in my opinion. I realize this channel is for song reactions and not movie reactions, but it somewhat coincides since I can never not think about this song without thinking about that scene in the movie.

Just a beautiful song.

Someone Saved My Life Tonight (the top of Elton and the original band, before things fell apart in the mid-70s)
Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding (his classic Epic he almost always opens his concerts with...and 11 minutes + long)
All the Girls Love Alice (Something a bit away from the typical melodic Elton love song)
The Bitch is Back (a funny hit from 1974)
9:15 'Drop by, say hi ,don't be shy'. That could be your slogan 😅👍
The music always comes alive on your channel.
Love this song.
You have to love Elton John. He's a legend 😊
And I love the song, one of my favorites. And the new-ish music video goes great with it.
I'm 68 and clearly remember intimately dancing to this with a girl in the hallway of my school, by ourselves, during a school dance in the gym.
295K subs Biss. I've been subbed since under 150K, now you're almost DOUBLE that. Congratulations 🎊
This song gets better everytime you hear it.
Enjoyed your reaction bisss as usual. Awesome
Biscutte, you are the pretty eyed, ballarena, Tiny Dancer ❤❤❤
Hi Bisscute, I hope you're doing well.
Reaction avenged again sir 🔥
what a perfect little movie about L.A. - just perfectly shows LA
MY FIRST ALBUM FROM ELTON TY FOR UR REACTION HUN!!!!!
Duet with Kiki Dee “ Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”. Two great voices.
This was the song I played for my daughter to help her sleep she is gone now I think of her ever time I hear it 😢
I'm not sure why this comes to mind (maybe you mention that you LOVE to sing along), but the song "I Got a Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas, seems like a perfect fit for you! It's on my going out on the town play list. Make sure to watch the official video! Cheers Biss, and thanks!
Hello Bisscute, beautiful melody and even more so in the interpretation of the maestro Elton John, I thought you were going to refer a little more to the lyrics, I understand that it was composed by his great friend Bernie Topin, while Elton was in charge of putting it to music and to interpret it. The girl referred to in the song really existed, her name is Maxime Feibelman, whom they met in Los Angeles, she was a seamstress for Elton's band when they toured the United States in the 70s, which later resulted in the marriage of Topin and Feibelman, hence the multiple references in the song's lyrics to all these experiences. Greetings and a hug, dear friend, and thank you for continuing to present such interesting material to us. It would be nice if one day you could react to Mon Laferte.
Great! Others to try: Rocket Man, Someone Saved My Life Tonight, Candle in the Wind (1973, Marilyn Monroe version), Your Song, Daniel, Curtains, High Flying Bird, Original Sin, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Sacrifice, Bennie & the Jets, The One, Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word, Nikita...so many. For upbeat I'm Still Standing, and for heavier atmospheric rock with instrumental opener Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding (classic album track).
I think Elton John is one of those rare performers who’s live performances are always as good as the studio recordings, and in my opinion more enjoyable than the official videos.
Great choice, another Elton John sleeper is "Gray Seal"
This was an awesome song to see in Vegas at the Bellagio fountains. I'm sure there's s youtube video somewhere
I love this song and have for decades! Good music very often means any song from Elton John or Billy Joel. So hard to pick something from them that isn't great.
HIGHLY recommend the whole "Caribou" album, but particularly the haunting song "Ticking", it's a real serious song. Followed up by "All the Girls Love Alice".
