      Yes, there is some good in this world, but Christ Jesus is coming soon to take us home to the place where only righteousness dwells.
      2 Peter 3;13
      Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

    originals tend to become the benchmark, covers are always compared with what they copy, but here there's a softness which the song deserves but the original fails to deliver. You nailed this one gals ! Thank you.

  • @greg4673

    When Elton recorded this song many effects were used in vocals, guitars, keyboards, sync, you name it. It was never meant to be an acoustic endeavor. But here you see and HEAR ultra talent people ready and able to take it on with nothing but two dry acoustic guitars and two unassisted, and un-autotuned vocals! Folks, you are witnessing real young grassroots American talent here. Greg Guitars llc

      Elton only ever wrote the music; Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics. Elton was still a session musician at that time, put an ad in a trade paper looking for a lyricist. Bernie answered, teamed up with Elton and the rest is history as the saying goes!

    Understanding chords and harmony, blended with rhythmic choices are so beautifully presented. One thing many of us might enjoy is, at the end of your Sunday Morning videos, if you could give us a bit of background on why a particular song was chosen and why key and tempo choices were made. Your interpretations are as good as it gets. Thanks for sharing!

    Greetings from not Mars...but Finland. Such a nice version. Almost better than original. Girls you are most talented. Keep on "trucking" 🌞

      Total conceptual understanding taken to the next higher level. They always perform a better rendition than the original. How do they make that happen! Makes one wonder if they even realize they're doing that.

    Im not a huge Elton John fan but Rocket Man and Tiny Dancer are brilliant. Brilliant vocals here. Thanks for sharing.
