“I’ve seen them, I’ve been there with them, I can tell you all you want to know, something touched meeee and I was only sleeping, wouldn’t you, would you like to go” such a great album. I 💯 agree with you ✌️💜🎵😊
@@soul4music79 Exactly! Caribou was a profound sonic statement, especially for its day -- and still stands up. Elton and Gus went along with know-nothing press critics (who are not musicians) because the album was recorded so quickly under time pressure, IMHO.
As a song writer, Bernie is the one who makes the most since to me as a lyricist. I love all his subliminal lyrics. Even though he probably doesn't always know what they mean. But I'm sure he's happy so many sing along.
Wow! Never thought I would get to hear Bernie. Loved him, through Elton since I heard his lyrics through Elton in the 1970s. When I heard "Your Song" I was hooked on Elton John. I really like "Someone Saved My Life Tonight."
He’s so talented & interesting to listen to..just love these interviews. I’m so glad he lets interviews pick his brain. He seems like he’s doing very well. ❤
Really enjoyable interview featuring one of my heroes. Bernie’s honesty makes him a great interviewee and I really enjoyed listening to him. I will definitely buy the book!
I’m just about to finish Elton John’s autobiography, and would very much like to read Bernie’s book to compare. If he has as much as half the sense of humor of Elton John, I’m in for a treat.
Right. And seems like this guy can't get past GYBR, he keeps bringing it up even as Bernie is trying to speak about the albums in chronological order, starting from the first of EJ's albums but he kept jumping in with that. He was getting on my nerves. I was like shut up and let Bernie talk 😒
48:00 Oh I beg you, Bernie, please don't blame the music fans that they don't understand what good music is 🤣I grew up listening to Sacrifice and hated Elton John. Now I'm watching your interview because it was only after the Rocketman movie that I discovered that Elton could play the piano. I searched for Elton John Live on RUclips and found Bennie and the Jets Live. Since then I've been listening to Elton John's classic albums every day and these are his albums from 1970 to 1976. I love Elton Naw more than anyone in this world. Your lyrics were good until you started writing the so-called "songs". And Elton was able to write special melodies on it.
Wow you didn’t know EJ played the piano you must be very young. Thank God I grew up during the 1970s the music started taking a down turn in the 80s now it’s just a lot of noise to me.😢
One of the greatest lyricists ever.
Ticking, Mona Lisa’s and Mad Hatters, The greatest discovery…. All master pieces.
Those are my top two Elton John songs.
Their lyrics are so beaautiful.
The Brown Dirt Cowboy in the flesh. Great interview. One of the best writing teams of all time! Philadelphia Freedom!
This man helped me through my formative years with his inspirational lyrics ❤
learned english with his songs
Caribou should get more love. It's between two masterpieces but I see it as a essential bridge.
Amen ❤
Caribou is an excellent album.
My first album.

The greatest ❤
So glad he mentions "Sacrifice' it hardly ever gets a mention but I have to agree I think it's one of their great songs!
Really enjoyable interview featuring one of my heroes. Bernie’s honesty makes him a great interviewee and I really enjoyed listening to him. I will definitely buy the book!
don't recommend it, really underwhelming, writing books isn't the same job as lyrics
It is easy to see how he and Elton meshed so perfectly...
Always loved Bernie and what him and Elton have done!
*he
I think "Hercules" is a great song and never gets mentioned or played as much as it should. It's a great Rock & Roll song.
I only have one EJ album - Captain Fantastic. It is fantastic, Bernie’s lyrics on it are wonderful. A very talented writer.
Love this interview. All about Bernie, an intelligent, prolific and sincere poet.
he speaks in song #a
love this guy...have an autographed copy of Scattershot and love his prose!
From the end of the world to your town
Levon is the song that I remember as a classic.
What a trill to meet my idol and brown dirt cowboy @bernie taupin 🎼
trill??
I was a teenager when GYBR was released. As a long-time fan and lover of BT's lyrics, that was great - thank you!
Superb❤
I would absolutely love to sit and have a convo with Bernie Taupin. I really enjoyed his memoir.
I’m just about to finish Elton John’s autobiography, and would very much like to read Bernie’s book to compare. If he has as much as half the sense of humor of Elton John, I’m in for a treat.
My favorite Taupin John song is the one without a title. "Just words and a tune.."
This Song Has No Title😊
Such a gentleman
The book was a great read. A very interesting life Bernie has had. Very talented in more ways than one. I can recommend this book. A must read.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing the vid!
Bernie Taupin just recently named to the Rock Hall of Fame!
This song has been with me since I got the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album back in the early 70's and it still feels the same today.
Roy Rogers...
I wish someone would have asked if Bernie is ever surprised by the melody Elton writes to his lyrics.
Great interview. A friend of the flag.
You don’t have to announce him by name just Mr. Lyrics works
Thank You🙏🏽🏄🏽♀️❤️💯🔥
Great, but the interviewer needs to stop talking over him!!! Jesus, let the man speak!

Off topic, even though I find his talent brilliant, since I was a child I have always found him HOT 🔥

I will reserve judgment, but would like to ask what everyone thinks….On a scale from 1 to 10 how would you judge the interviewer?
5...don't care much for the interviewer. Love listening to Bernie
In the thumbnail, is that Marlon Brando on the right? (wink)
He deserves to win the NOBEL as robert ZIMMERMANN
