I would like to thank sir Elton John for writing this lovely piece of music. I was a ballerina. My husband was a music man. I used to live near the boulevard and loved it. Danced in the sand at the beach. My husband sang this song to me lots before he passed. And now I'm still his tiny dancer in the sand.
@@tomgirard3491 true she can still have her memories. But give the credit where it belongs lol Eltons a good musicians but the true poet is behind the spotlight
As a child growing up in the late 70's, my Dad loved listening to Elton John. My Dad passed away back in 2009, January 13th was his Birthday. I was pretty bummed out just wishing he was here. As I walked into a gas station to pay for gas with my Dad deep on my mind, "Tiny Dancer" is playing over the gas station radio intercom. Goosebumps, a tear, then a smile across my face. Thank you God, Dad, and everyone else watching from above, it let me know you are still watching me. I love you and miss you Dad.
I lost my voice several years ago, can still talk but cannot sing anymore--it really kills my spirit 'cause I loved singing. So when "Tiny Dancer" comes on, I know when the song reaches the chorus I'm not going to be able to sing it--but my mouth opens anyway, LOL. What comes out may be a croak, but I can't help it, I MUST SING IT! My dogs ran outside, but I sang it, dammit! Thank you Elton John!
@@katylepetsos7512 Oh I don't mind, it's no secret. I developed a tumor on my thyroid, it grew aggressively and was invading the vocal chords. They did surgery to remove the tumor, but it was too late, it had killed my chords. Thank God the tumor wasn't cancer, I'm grateful for that. It just still rankles that I can't sing anymore. Surgeon told me I was lucky I could still talk (most of the time, anyway, LOL) so I'm grateful for that too.
@@Doxymeister oh no, that’s awful, I’m so sorry that happened to you, but at least it wasn’t something that could’ve been fatal. But I don’t even wanna know how I’d feel if I couldn’t sing anymore, cus I do it all the time. But I’m so so sorry that you went through that.
Lmao I listen to chorus less songs that range from 6-11 minutes long. If you think waiting for a chorus is really that hard to call it a "true test of patients" I think you might have some problems to work out.
@@pup1008 Don't be ab elitist ass. A fan is simply someone who appreciates the music, and newsflash, it IS possible to appreciate an artist for two songs.
I bought concert tickets for my wife,well ex. She had a broken foot and I was carrying her into the huge stadium. A security guard saw us and offered to help us to our seats.he took her crutches and headed toward the stage.i showed him our tickets and seat location. not the best seats but all I could get.he took us to the stage where there were about twenty chairs and a couple folks in wheelchairs. He sat us directly in front of Sir Elton John's piano.twenty feet at best.I obtained a whole new respect for the mans music that night.I listen closer now. Maybe I should have listened closer to the wife lol.remember the great times !
@@rejcreem3890 around 2000 thanks for the sentiment. We think we have everything under control at times but most of us are stumbling in the dark .silly humans.if we did not have bad times we could not fully recognize the great ones .
My first date song with my wife of 50 years. We have been singing it for all 50 years. The song captures the essence of that uniquely early 70's vibe. Thank you Elton John for such a masterpiece.
50 years? Wow! I bet you have some great stories. Would you mind sharing any special memories from your younger days in the 70s and 80s? And where are you from? I would love to hear them!
How is Almost Famous not mentioned?!!! The scene where they are on the tour bus and start jamming to Tiny Dancer is so epic. Legendary. It's been over 20 years and I still haven't seen a movie where in just one scene makes the whole movie shine.
I’m 35 and as a child I had every word to Eltons greatest hits memorized by 1st grade. I use to sing his songs at a restaurant as a little kid maybe first or second grade. The waitress would take me to the back and make me a ice cream Sunday and let me pick all my toppings! Vivid memories like this you treasure as you get older
This song comes on in an elevator or somewhere quiet.. everyone goes about their business.. then the chorus hits.. Everyone: HOLD ME CLOSER TINY DANCERRRR
my dad recently found out I was listening to Elton John and I could tell how emotional he got because that's what he used to listen to when he was my age and he couldn't imagine I would follow his steps he's so adorable haha
Even though I wasn't alive then, this makes me nostalgic for 1970's southern California. Conjures imagery of people on the beach, maybe in bell bottoms, warm days smoking outside of a record studio, etc. Music is a crazy thing, man.
I've always liked older music, even as a kid. Not that I didn't get caught up in the current stuff, all music has value and speaks for generations. Elton John is one of a kind.
Same I'm a kid right now and I listen to some current pop songs but I have a deep love for Elton John, Beatles, Queen, stuff like that. I'm an old soul. There are only few of my kind that are my age
Depends on your age, I was luck enough to grow up in the 90's. The new music that decade was amazing! Still, no denying my fandom of Sir Elton! The mans a master of the craft!
Im 33 and i lost my 75 yr old bf on august 28,22. 9 yrs together. This reminds me of walking in the house and him bumping his tunes really loud. Walking in and see him dancing singing along would make me smile. And made my heart quiver with joy. Miss u my Commander Of Chief Navy Officer James A Wyatt. I forever will miss u so much.
This brings me goosebumps everytime I hear "hold me closer tiny dancer" I'm 22 and this song still keeps me happy till this very day no matter sad or depressed this song helps me and I'm sure everyone get three the rough days in all of our lifes...much love everyone.😌🤠
When they told him about RBG this was playing in the background at Trump's rally. What a classy response he gave. No rehearsal, no teleprompter, just raw emotion and compassion. She was unusually vocal about her dislike of him, but he kept it classy. Nice job, Trump, well done.
pnut3844able Not necessarily. He showed class and respect to a genuinely great person who did nothing but hate on him. He chose the high road, rather than use her death for political advancement or a jab at revenge.
I read a Reddit post that said, people who have the ability to feel music enough to FEEL the music in their emotions and all, that not everyone has that. And you should be grateful bc we don’t experience music the same everyone else:)
Fun fact: In the new Rocketman movie, Taren Egerton plays Elton. Coincidentally, Egerton also played Johnny the gorilla in the movie Sing, where he sang the song, Im Still Standing. Also an Elton song. How cool is that?
Apparently tarpon singing I’m still standing in sing is why he landed the spot, the director saw it and auditioned him because of his role in sing, pretty neat
Also Elton was in Kingman 2 the golden circle in which taron is also in it lol these two seem destined to be linked in films one way or another and I love it
Bruh I noticed that like a year ago and wondered that they’re related. To my surprise they weren’t related. Also ur forgetting that Elton John was in the Kingsman: The Golden Circle with Taron Egerton.

She just died?...... Wow. I didn't know that, you're telling me now for the first time. She led an amazing life. What else can you say? She was an amazing woman...I'm sad to hear that. I'm saddened to hear that. Thank you
Two songs I will always listen to... Tiny dance and landslide. Both, in my opinion, equally bring out every possible emotion with pure style! They don't make them like this anymore 😔
My ex and I used to have this as 'our song'.. When we had broken up, he sent me this song of course saying "I want my tiny dancer back" ... We never could go back, we tried, but this song always reminds me of the love we did share way before it was time to move on. **A shout out to all those who have just gotten over a break up or going through one feeling and are feeling a bit lost xx There is light at the end, just keep searching peeps ☺️✌️ ☀️
+Jonathan Dickey hang in there John, it's really hard, but we'll get there hey.. It sucks breaking up, it really does. But now it's time for you to be the best YOU can be ☀️✌️
this is the song I listened to driving my wife to the hospital to deliver my first daughter . always loved the song that moment made it part of my life forever .
This song was playing as my daughter was born, still can't listen to it with out getting choked up, every time it plays a montage of her growing up plays in my head
The best part for me is when he says "Jesus freaks out in the streets, handing tickets out for God". True Christians don't hate people for being gay. And when was the last time we ever saw a Christian handing out flyers? Lol. But I live in a different time so I can't assume what they lived back then. Bad ass song though! ♥️♥️
Every time I hear this song I think of my grandfather he was an amazing piano player due to polio when he was born his talent was truly amazing he idled Elton John for his talent he would always try to teach me to play his songs. Me grandfather recently passed on R.I.P Ralph 1952-2019
@bloxys im sorry to hear about your grandpop, ironic my grandfather is also Ralph and he is in a nursing home and has dementia he only remembers me and my name none of my other family members not even his own children, tears in my eyes 😢 grandpa is proud of you my friend
One of the most incredible songs of all time. ...music and lyrics are so strictly connected to create a deep sense of missing someone you love, without feeling any need to be sad about it but only really nostalgic....thanx elton
but everyone knows and loves Bernie, well atleast I do. With rocketman movie coming out he had a big part and Elton very much shows us how much he loves him.
People who only view music on a surface level don't really know Bernie. But we true music fans of which there are many appreciate his genius... Of course along with Elton, together they crafted masterpieces!
God this song brings me such deep feelings of long ago. I literally get goose bumps listening to it. You know it has to be a great song to do that. One of his best. Ageless, timeless, pure emotion evoking, perfectedness. Thank you Elton ♥️
I was 7 or 8 when this hit the airwaves. It enhanced my childhood to have great songs like this providing the soundtrack. The best songs were brilliant. Masterpieces that get better with age. With lyrics that grab you later in life. Saturated with nostalgia. But meaningful in their own right.
I had not heared this song but ed sheeran on his song ' castle on the hill ' lrycs mention this song so i came here and found it and i love all these coments and the song .
this song came on the radio when I was with my mom and I started singing along. she looked at me shocked and was like "How do you know this song!" and I responded "who doesn't know Elton John"
my history teacher played this in class and it just gave me a massive nostalgia hit that I hadn't been able to hear in years. I was like holy crap I haven't heard this song in years, and so this just hit me really hard and powerfully. I miss the good ol' days.
@Elton John Are we really meant to believe that you are really Elton John? Your RUclips account was opened just a couple of months ago, it has no videos, no "about" info, and the email address you have provided is a Gmail address when the real Elton John would have an address associated with his actual domain name. And your comment, yeah...Elton has been doing his thing for decades, I'm certain that he's not browsing this comment section just waiting for an opportunity to tell "Mango" how much his comment means to him. You, sir, are a complete tool, nothing but a foolish fool.
him and his songwriter? You're talking about the legendary Bernie Taupin. And, by the way, Bernie was never in the studios. Wrote lyrics and Elton took it from there to put music in the words.
F. Dietrich So wasn't Freddie Mercury. Wgaff. Queen is my favorite band. Arguably best harmonizing group as well, only one's who come close is maybe.. Beatles and I'm not a huge fan. This is when Elton was pure gold. Bowie is up there too. Then 'Disturbed' is greatest current generation band, hands down.
For some reason, the "ballerina, you must've seen her-- dancing in the sand." line always chokes me up a bit. My daughter pretended to be a ballerina when she was 4 or 5 while at the beach one summer. I've never forgotten that moment. She's 22 now...😭

@@velvetthunder1628 like thats cool and all. i want the president of my country to do a good job. but like. do you actually feel good putting that just to try and be an asshole? like be genuine with me for a second.. you probably are a young teen who hasnt ever voted and also has a very limited view on the world. i hope you grow as a person and stop trying to troll online.(i know you are disliked irl man its ok. but this wont make people like you)
john booker you sound extremely close minded to those who think differently. I believe he’s referring to his classy remarks regarding her passing, and this is coming from a woman in her late 30’s, who certainly has voted before. Not sure how any of that comment makes him a troll, just seems you have emotional reactions to those who don’t agree with you, odd to be insinuating someone else is immature.
Elton and Bernie had the best written songs of the 70s! Even to this day they all stand up to the test of time. The talent of Elton is so underappreciated in today’s musical world. I remember listening to his songs on the radio and then by buying the albums. Even if you didn’t like the song if you listen to it a few times you still realize it was awesomely great. Elton is a true icon and in a very small group of legends. Not unlike Tom Petty or Edward van Halen. I think I’m going to go listen to my Goodbye Yellowbrick Road album now. Which happens to be the first album I ever bought when I was around 12 years old. I bought it for Bennie and the jets. And what a jackpot that album turned out to be as far as great music. Thank you Elton for the hundreds of great well written songs.
MY WIFE LOVED THIS SONG FIRST TIME WE HEARD IT ON A BUS TO NEW YORK NEVER HEARD OF ELTON JOHN BUT HE SOUNDED GREAT NOT LONG AFTER SHE WAS KILLED BY A DRINK DRIVER BROKE MY HEART THE LOVE OF MY LIFE WAS GONE THE SONG BRINGS HER BACK NOT LONG BUT BACK I LOVE YOU TINY DANCER AND I MISS YOU. R.I.P. MAYBE SOME DAY WE WILL BE TOGETHER

Wow. I didn't know that, you're telling me now for the first time.
She led an amazing life. What else can you say? She was an amazing woman...I'm sad to hear that. I'm saddened to hear that.
Thank you
Best President ever
me and my mom used to dance to this when i was real young takes me back to were i was free of all worries and sadness thank you elton john
Bro you can still be free from every worry and sadness:)
2:32 "hold me closer, tony danza" LOL
GODDAMN IT, PHOEBE! XD
Two songs I will always listen to...
Tiny dance and landslide. Both, in my opinion, equally bring out every possible emotion with pure style! They don't make them like this anymore 😔
I agree but I think Pianoman also does the same
R.I.P. Grandma Betty. You were taken too soon 3 years ago today, this was your favorite song. Always was a pure soul and always in our hearts. 💜🕊️
God, I feel so bad. Sorry for your loss
I’m sorry for your loss. May she be in a better place now, may god be with you two❤️
may she rest in peace ❣
I'm so sorry for your loss,I can't imagine dealing with that.
Aah..RIP and god bless
My ex and I used to have this as 'our song'..
When we had broken up, he sent me this song of course saying "I want my tiny dancer back" ...
We never could go back, we tried, but this song always reminds me of the love we did share way before it was time to move on.
**A shout out to all those who have just gotten over a break up or going through one feeling and are feeling a bit lost xx There is light at the end, just keep searching peeps ☺️✌️ ☀️
Oh my gosh. I was just thinking of my girlfriend who I just broke up with and your comment encouraged me greatly
+Jonathan Dickey hang in there John, it's really hard, but we'll get there hey.. It sucks breaking up, it really does. But now it's time for you to be the best YOU can be ☀️✌️
omg you seem to be a very good person
Just get back together .happy ending for everybody
Fuck you on behalf of all men with broken hearts due to cold blooded whores
this is the song I listened to driving my wife to the hospital to deliver my first daughter . always loved the song that moment made it part of my life forever .
I love how music sticks with us in our memories and makes such an impact. Thank you for sharing this! ❤
If here in 2021 your a LEGEND!
thank you!~
Thank.you very much
♥️
@@heathergardiner6030 u r a legend
This song will live forever among all of Eltons music!
The Lyrics:
Are on the damn screen
Lol
Ha.
Nice
This is exactly how I feel with this types of comments
😄😄😄😄 good one
PEOPLE DON’T PAY TO SEE REG DWIGHT
THEY PAY TO SEE ELTON JOHN
_I was thinking of changing my name to elton_
*_but thats my name_*
_i know_
"Hiw dies a fat boy from nowhere... become a soul man
You have to kill the person you were born to be to become the person you want to be.
Elton do you remember the Andersons
*oh yeah the Andersons how could you forget the Andersons*
Elton: Do you even care how much pressure I am under?
John Reid: Not really. I'll still be collecting my 20% long after you've killed yourself.
My dad is a huge fan of Elton John. Found this song through him. Now I’m a huge fan of Elton John.
Still enjoying this masterpiece in Feb 2022. Thank you, Sir Elton.
I remembered that one episode from "The Office" and had to come back.
I literally did the same just now!
Me too!
yOu HaVe WoN a TiNy DuNdEe
I once had love but he was bad evil we loved music together will I ever love again
As much as it was a comedy, it was also pretty touching in quite a few episodes
This song was playing as my daughter was born, still can't listen to it with out getting choked up, every time it plays a montage of her growing up plays in my head
Did u name her Tiny??
beautiful! you and your daughter rock on my friend
That's real nice, great song to be born to lmao
The song is about Bernie Taupin's wife. L.A. lady, seamstress for the band.
:'(
The best part for me is when he says "Jesus freaks out in the streets, handing tickets out for God". True Christians don't hate people for being gay. And when was the last time we ever saw a Christian handing out flyers? Lol. But I live in a different time so I can't assume what they lived back then. Bad ass song though! ♥️♥️
I don't consciously sing "So hold me closer tiny dancer" every time the song comes on. It's an involuntary reaction, but a welcome one.
I’m trying to memorize this song for my mom for Mother’s Day to sing it to her because it’s her favorite!❤️
Did you sing it and if so did she love it?
^
Chandler Birchield yeah I did she really loved it we went to get ice cream afterwards
Nice, also I decided to come back to this song because i'm upset learning that grumpy cat died
Bella Perez that’s actually so sweet
Every time I hear this song I think of my grandfather he was an amazing piano player due to polio when he was born his talent was truly amazing he idled Elton John for his talent he would always try to teach me to play his songs. Me grandfather recently passed on R.I.P Ralph 1952-2019
Subscribe Or Your Gay I am your 100th subscriber can you sub to me
@bloxys im sorry to hear about your grandpop, ironic my grandfather is also Ralph and he is in a nursing home and has dementia he only remembers me and my name none of my other family members not even his own children, tears in my eyes 😢 grandpa is proud of you my friend
Elton John and Kakashi?? Take my like noble stranger! Have a great day!
One of the most incredible songs of all time. ...music and lyrics are so strictly connected to create a deep sense of missing someone you love, without feeling any need to be sad about it but only really nostalgic....thanx elton
I love coming to the comments of music like this because there are so many beautiful, sad, and heartwarming tales.
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin. He never gets credit. He's the hidden star behind Elton John.
but everyone knows and loves Bernie, well atleast I do. With rocketman movie coming out he had a big part and Elton very much shows us how much he loves him.
yes he is i agree
People who only view music on a surface level don't really know Bernie. But we true music fans of which there are many appreciate his genius... Of course along with Elton, together they crafted masterpieces!
@@pabz3389 why can't we all just enjoy the song instead of being like "only true music fans"?
@@nathanrail-road9662 all elitists are like that, they're a hopeless case
Almost Famous is such a great film
Griffin Jurisson OMG IT BROUGHT ME HERE :D
Griffin Jurisson THATS MY SHIT
Griffin Jurisson Favorite scene in the movie
Griffin Jurisson Agreement.
Griffin Jurisson Hahah beautiful movie !
God this song brings me such deep feelings of long ago. I literally get goose bumps listening to it. You know it has to be a great song to do that. One of his best. Ageless, timeless, pure emotion evoking, perfectedness. Thank you Elton ♥️
💯
I was 7 or 8 when this hit the airwaves. It enhanced my childhood to have great songs like this providing the soundtrack. The best songs were brilliant. Masterpieces that get better with age. With lyrics that grab you later in life. Saturated with nostalgia. But meaningful in their own right.
2020 who’s still listening? What a beautiful tune 🎶🎵
I am!!
Febuary 16th me and my fiancee are listnening to it. We absolutely enjoy sir elton johns music.....
I had not heared this song but ed sheeran on his song ' castle on the hill ' lrycs mention this song so i came here and found it and i love all these coments and the song .
Me!
Meeeee 💜💋
Can anyone imagine how fun it would be if all 10 million of us could sing this together?kl
"I have to go home."
"You are home"
i didnt know this song i came here cause britney spears, i cant wait to hear her and elton jhon
Amazing how when this was released, it was just good music, now it's memories of past times when things seemed brighter.
A great song by one of the greatest writers ever. Nothing left to say
He didnt write this.
He didn’t write this dawg
Ty for the reassurance dawg
@@Track1productions I didn't know that. I thought he wrote most of his own lyrics
this song came on the radio when I was with my mom and I started singing along. she looked at me shocked and was like "How do you know this song!" and I responded "who doesn't know Elton John"
my history teacher played this in class and it just gave me a massive nostalgia hit that I hadn't been able to hear in years. I was like holy crap I haven't heard this song in years, and so this just hit me really hard and powerfully. I miss the good ol' days.
the same thing happened to me, not with this song but with age of Aquarius it was actually insane 😭
Not sure if there has even been a better song than this. This is an absolute gem of a song & one that will be known for ages.
I came here because of ELTON JOHN.
That's it. No further thing to explain.
Sameee
Same here🥰
uh ok
@Elton John Are we really meant to believe that you are really Elton John? Your RUclips account was opened just a couple of months ago, it has no videos, no "about" info, and the email address you have provided is a Gmail address when the real Elton John would have an address associated with his actual domain name. And your comment, yeah...Elton has been doing his thing for decades, I'm certain that he's not browsing this comment section just waiting for an opportunity to tell "Mango" how much his comment means to him. You, sir, are a complete tool, nothing but a foolish fool.
Honestly I've been obsessed with this song for three months I listen to it when I'm sag,mad, or happy it's my life.
Anna Friend , who used to listen to it that is no longer with us? Ask someone older if you can't think of anyone yourself. Shalom.
Anna Friend .. Check out Lay lady Lay by Dylan.
@@robbieunderwood8349 yes I love Bob Dylan x
Bernie Taupin was a Power as a song writer to Elton's musical talent. What would you do without this type of chemistry! Has to be unique.❤
Waiting for the Britney Remix!
Elton John is a genius. He creates beauty in sound.
he never wrote he songs him and his song writer had been doing the music since he first atarted
Jeremiah Points yes he did bernie taupin was his lyricist, elton wrote the music
him and his songwriter? You're talking about the legendary Bernie Taupin. And, by the way, Bernie was never in the studios. Wrote lyrics and Elton took it from there to put music in the words.
never could have done it without bernie taupin...
He does
I wanna do everything to this song - cry, run, dance, make love, shower, get married, and die. Is that so much to ask for?
Si
Not at all :)
Love that song. Also love his songs Philadelphia freedom, Levon , Friends, Momma can't buy you love, etc
Yes please shower
That isnt much to ask at all! FINDING that one on the otherhand can/is THE consumate Chore!
How many Britney fans are here listening when the new remix of the great Elton John with pop princess Britney Spears comes out? ❤️🥳🤟
Britney sucks, original shits on this one
Me
Who said Britney can ruin a great song
Leaving to the marines soon this song is gunna play in my head while I’m saying goodbye to my parents and loved ones
The hook on this song is amazing
yeser it is !
1,700 idiots
But Elton John is amazingly GAY. Disagree?
F. Dietrich So wasn't Freddie Mercury. Wgaff. Queen is my favorite band. Arguably best harmonizing group as well, only one's who come close is maybe.. Beatles and I'm not a huge fan. This is when Elton was pure gold. Bowie is up there too. Then 'Disturbed' is greatest current generation band, hands down.
Love IT!!!!
This was my parents wedding song ❤️
For some reason, the "ballerina, you must've seen her-- dancing in the sand." line always chokes me up a bit. My daughter pretended to be a ballerina when she was 4 or 5 while at the beach one summer. I've never forgotten that moment. She's 22 now...😭
I don't have a reason but this song keeps me from self deletion. I play it when I need to just feel life and remember.
And i feel... god in this chilies tonight...
HOLD ME CLOSELY, TONY DANZAAAAAAAAA
TONY DANZA IN MY HAAAAAANDS
"Hold my clothes and tie me down, sir" is one of my favorite mondegreens. ;-D
I WAS SINGING THAT THIS MORNING (idk why don't judge)
J Baugh BEASLY!!
Hooold me closer dr. danzer
I'm convinced Elton john is a piano.
Here after watching the video where Trump found out RBG is dead. Fitting song.
Waiting for the credits to roll on 2020
Yeah looked like a scene out of a movie
Sir Elton John's music is like butter to my ears
Trump 2020
Same
This was playing in the background when President Trump found out RBG died. I had to hear the words, they seem so accidentally appropriate RIP RBG.
came from that video aswell RIP RGB. Also Elton John is a treasure
john booker same 😢😢 May she rest in peace.
I AM HONOURED TO SAY DONALD J TRUMP IS MY PRESIDENT🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@velvetthunder1628 like thats cool and all. i want the president of my country to do a good job. but like. do you actually feel good putting that just to try and be an asshole? like be genuine with me for a second.. you probably are a young teen who hasnt ever voted and also has a very limited view on the world. i hope you grow as a person and stop trying to troll online.(i know you are disliked irl man its ok. but this wont make people like you)
john booker you sound extremely close minded to those who think differently. I believe he’s referring to his classy remarks regarding her passing, and this is coming from a woman in her late 30’s, who certainly has voted before. Not sure how any of that comment makes him a troll, just seems you have emotional reactions to those who don’t agree with you, odd to be insinuating someone else is immature.
@@johnbooker6936 You're the only troll here for shetting on someone simply because they are proud of their president.
Who's here because... COME ON, GUYS I AM HERE BECAUSE I F*CKIN LOVE THIS SONG AND NOT BECAUSE ANY FILM SCENE
SAME!
Myself!!
Same
Calm down
Good on you mate.
My grandma H A T E S Elton John but I love him! Lol her face is priceless when I blast Bennie and The Jets. Love you Granny
Ashleigh won't be mentioned in Granny's will. Not in the way she was hoping... ;>
Lol my granny doesnt have will too much debt
Ashleigh M.W. Then you have no ear for piano or good music
um elton john is a classic i love his music if that means i have bad taste who cares its my opinion
whoever is here listening to this masterpiece of elton john.... you have great taste in music.
Elton and Bernie had the best written songs of the 70s! Even to this day they all stand up to the test of time. The talent of Elton is so underappreciated in today’s musical world. I remember listening to his songs on the radio and then by buying the albums. Even if you didn’t like the song if you listen to it a few times you still realize it was awesomely great. Elton is a true icon and in a very small group of legends. Not unlike Tom Petty or Edward van Halen. I think I’m going to go listen to my Goodbye Yellowbrick Road album now. Which happens to be the first album I ever bought when I was around 12 years old. I bought it for Bennie and the jets. And what a jackpot that album turned out to be as far as great music. Thank you Elton for the hundreds of great well written songs.
Why are little kids stating their age like they are seeking some approval for liking older music? Who cares, just enjoy the song.
I'm 23 and I totally agree with you. :D
+Ainne Blackwood I know right im 15 and I feel like everyone my age does that shit jeeez
+Hollie Bleasdale as a fellow 15 year old I agree
***** Irony, dude ;)
+Bcomes THANK YOU
I don't care what anyway else says I like Elton John he has a lot of good songs

This song was out many years before I was born, but I can’t get enough of it.
No one could of sung this song better. Angels would take a listen and say nope can't get better than that what a musical icon Mr. Elton John is❤
when clay and Zach sang this, I kept replaying it 😭😭❤️
Who tf is here because they actually like the song?
Slum Entertainment_ me
why else would one be here, if not to listen to good music(not crapping on modern music, please don't start with that)?
@@victorsuarez9424 Amen

Me and because it's a song I've been listening to all my life
Im here cause E.J.'s music makes everything better. My anxiety is flying mighty high. Thank you sir Elton for your music!

So sorry for you Joseph. Hope the drunk driver was sent away. It's amazing how music can stir our hearts and show us what's in them.
I love this song when I was little my mom would play this song when I was going to sleep and in the car I still love it
I always loved this song, but Almost Famous brought me back. What an awesome movie!
