You have to admit us “ older crowd” grew up with the most fantastic singers and musicians ever‼️ Thank goodness I was fairly young in this great era. Thanks for playing our memories.
I went to Spain at about the time this single came out! It made my mom cry, because I was in love with a Spaniard named Alberto and almost went to Spain to live with him!
I still, vividly, remember the first time I heard "Your Song" on the radio, while standing in my best friend's kitchen, looking out the window. I fell in love with it, and it's still my favorite EJ song nearly 50 years later. It's perfect.
Jay- you need to watch a few documentaries on the Bernie/Elton duo. How they got together is an interesting story, and the fact that they never even occupy the same space while writing a song is mind blowing...
My daughter chose this song for the bride portion of the photos video at her wedding. Hearing it always brings back wonderful memories. I was blessed to see Sir Elton perform this masterpiece in person!
Almost 50 years listening to this song and will never get tired of it. Elton John is my favorite artist and Tiny Dancer my favorite song. Thanks for doing it. "Border Song" has the best verse that I think Taupin ever wrote. Its even more important today than its ever been. PLEASE.
You might also like Elton's songs "Your Song," "Goodbye, Yellow-Brick Road." "Daniel," "Philadelphia Freedom" and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart." (And that's just some of his bigger hits between 1970 and 1976! :-) )
Marcus Oh-really-yes Some good choices though you missed the best like, Burn Down The Mission, Come Down In Time,Madman Across The Water, Sixth Years On, Levon, Indian Summer,Daniel , And much more before he went and sold out and later due to an operation lost the high range of his voice!
You have only touched the outer boundary of Elton John's huge catalog of songs that received significant air time on the radio. The number is more than you probably believe it can be. It is a very, very deep rabbit hole.
SO true. I saw him three times in concert. Two solos and one with Billy Joel. They were transcendental! The first concert was with three different pianos; the second one was at the time he did Yellow Brick Road and he was very flamboyant. They were all so phenomenal!
Some of Elton John's hits are : 1. Sorry seems to be the hardest word 2. Goodbye yellow brickroad 3. Sweet painted lady 4. Someone saved my life tonight 5. Rocket man 6. Daniel 7. Nikita 8. I guess that's why they call it the blues 9. We are fall in love sometimes. And many many more grear song's
Rocket Man 🚀🚀🚀🛸🛸🛰🛰 Also, Candle in the Wind (Lyrics by Bernie Taupin with music by Elton John). It is a tribute originally written in 1973 for Marilyn Monroe who had died 11 years earlier. Elton also sang a rewritten version of the song in 1997 for Princess Diana at her funeral. R.I.P. Marilyn and Diana. ❤
@@benclarke8500 That is my favorite scene in the movie cuz it rang so true for me. When I was young I was a member of a very active and successful marching music organization. Every summer we spent 15 hours a day practicing only to jump on a bus and wind up in some strange city hours later ready to perform. As in all musical "families" we didnt always get along but no matter how deep the riffs they always seemed to instantly dissolve under the weight of our shared love of the music.
Me. It was the first time I heard it! And it gets bigger, when it reach the chorus and the guitar player is completely in the mood, and when the kid says:I've gotta go home, and she replies: you're home. And then I can't stop but think: music is home, wherever we are. The good one
In a movie full of memorable scenes, the scene where this song plays stands out. "I have to go home." "You ARE home." I think that's what we are all looking for, "home".
Elton John hits my #2 favorite band/artist of all time. That brings to mind that the soundtrack for the movie, Almost Famous is excellent, has a lot of great bands from that time period.
you arent going to get this kind of feeling from hip hop or rap music, this shit gives me chills its so good, wonderful reaction I can see the joy on your face bro
@@spider-man6088 Aloha Bobby and Rose was the movie i knew it was in a movie i remember seeing the movie. It came out in 1975. Three of his songs were in it "Bennie and the Jets" "Your Song" and "Tiny Dancer"
Elton John... so many amazing songs ... saw him in concert in 2014.... best concert ever. Benny and the Jets... great song... whole arena was singing it with him. He played his piano for 3 solid hours... with only 1 break for 5 minutes.
Out of all the “music reaction” videos people do you, by far, are the best! You can tell what a sensitive, soulful person you are. Keep up the fantastic work, I just can’t get enough!
This song will always have a special place in my heart. When I was young my dad would put this on the record player and dance around the living room with me and my younger sister. Always brings the nostalgia.
"Count the headlights on the highway"...So glad that you are savoring the songs of my childhood in the 1970's! Bernie Taupin and Elton John, one of the greatest songwriting partnerships.
Team Elton John up, w/George Michael & watch the outcome! George Michael sings in concert (Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me), an Elton John song & then Elton joins him on stage. AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE!!!
One of my favorite songs. Again, love watching your reaction to these songs. You might like these - "Goodbye Yellow Brook Road", "Daniel", "Someone Saved My Life Tonight", "Levon", Elton John's tribute to Freddie Mercury - "The Show Must go On".
Any of these will do... 1. Candle in the Wind 2. Saturday Nights Alright For Fighting 3. Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word 4. I Guess That’s Why They Call it the Blues 5. Sad Songs Say So Much 6. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road 7. Don’t Go Breaking My Heart 8. Crocodile Rock 9. Circle of Life 10. Can You Feel the Love Tonight? 11. Daniel 12. I’m Still Standing 13. Your Song 14. I Want Love
Just gotta say, There Will Be No Another "SIR, ELTON JOHN" HE'S BRILLIANT, AND SUNG WITH PASSION AND SOUL.. EVERY SONG IN THE 70'S...WERE HITS "MAD MAN ACROSS THE WATER"..✌
Elton John was asked one time, how is this transition made between you and Bernie Taupin when it comes to the lyrics and the music you write to them. He was asked if him and Bernie got together and discussed the lyrics. He said Bernie hands me the lyrics and I write music to them, no discussion. He said most of the time I don't even know what the lyrics mean. I just write music.
I am sure that this is true for all generations...there are artists are so talented and so iconic that it is hard to understand how the next generation has never heard their songs. This song is just one of the many Elton John songs that are just as amazing today as they were 40 years ago. Thank you for appreciating it. Just a magical sound.
Biggest E.J. fan here. I believe he recorded his best songs in his early days. SKYLINE PIGEON..YOUR SONG..DANIEL..GREY SEAL..LEVON..SOUTHERN COMFORT..ETC. SOME OF HIS BEST SONGS WERE THE NON HITS. THE DRUMMER WAS AMAZING. LATER IN HIS CAREER HE SANG SOME SUPER HOT SONGS LIKE...NIKITA..SACRIFICE..A WORD IN SPANISH(great video to this one and to I DONT WANNA GO ON WITH YOU LIKE THAT). Plz plz J, do a react to EMPTY GARDEN. It's a tribe to the death n life of John Lennon. Be the 1st to do this one. Thanks for doing this one. Nice react J.
Tiny Dancer from the Madman Across The Water album, one of his best. The track "Levon" was released on single in the US c/w "Goodbye". on UNI records and later on DJM. "Tiny Dancer" was also released on UNI records in 1972 c/w "Razor Face" but no singles were released in the UK from this iconic album. Why the track Holiday Inn was not used by the hotel chain as an ad rift is beyond me. A great great album.
Great reaction!! Other great songs by Elton include Your Song (warning - it's short!), Philadelphia Freedom, Crocodile Rock, and Someone Saved My Life Tonight. Many more, too!
One of my favorite Elton songs that I haven’t seen anyone mention is “Skyline Pigeon.” It was one of the first songs he and Bernie wrote together in 1968 and was on his first album, Empty Sky. (First one recorded and released in Europe, the second album released in the US.) He plays the harpsichord instead of piano.
Thanks for the Elton John reactions! Some favorites of mine are Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Levon, Crocodile 🐊 Rock, Saturday Nights Allright for Fightin', Daniel.
Great to watch your reaction to this classic song! Elton, the Beethoven of our time. Hope people will still be discovering him in 300 years time. Lucky enough to see him live in Feb this year, just before he got sick, then the world got sick. A great concert, hope there are plenty more! New subscriber btw👍
I think that I first heard this song on a tv show called WKRP in Cincinatti, and I loved it right away. And still do. I liked the comment that you made about the great transitions...you're absolutely right. I'm going to have to go back and really listen to this again.
YES!!!!!! It really is a masterpiece!!!!! You have picked up on all the elements that make his music so special. If you want to continue being moved emotionally listening to Elton John, PLEASE listen to the studio versions of: "Someone Saved My life Tonight", "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" (some reactioners listen to only one or the other but both songs were designed to flow right into each other), "Levon"... and if you really want to rock out, Elton's version of "Pinball Wizard"... which is one of those rare covers that absolutely blows the original away. You can't go wrong with these 4 songs.
One of my absolute favorite songs, unfortunately, the only time I saw him in concert it was the one song he didn't play =(. He even got under the piano and played without looking at the keys. Truly awesome talent!
Please react to "Someone saved my life tonight" by Elton John. If I remember correctly, the song was based on a dark time in his/personal life. Listen to the message carefully. Such a beautiful, sad, touching, and emotional song. A true masterpiece. Thank you. OleHead
I never used to hear this, but once you do it's amazing. The steel guitar from B.J. Cole on this track is extraordinary - it makes the song once you know it's there.
Great reaction Jay! You’re right there’s so many transitions and complex arrangements on this track and what’s unusual is that the chorus doesn’t kick in until about half way through the song. I’m not a huge Elton John fan tbh, but he has a few real gems. I think much of the credit must go to his lyricist Bernie Taupin, who wrote Your Song when he 17 or something
This used to be my favorite EJ song until I discovered “Funeral for a Friend,” which is his real “masterpiece “ IMO. He’s a truly gifted musician. I didn’t realize just HOW gifted he was until I saw “Rocket Man.” That reminds me to watch some documentaries about him.
I just watched the Elton John movie, very sad story, you should check it out. Get ready to have your heart broken though, his dad is a piece of work. Candle in the wind was huge in the late 90s since he changed it to honor princess diana. "Your song" is beautiful too
You have to admit us “ older crowd” grew up with the most fantastic singers and musicians ever‼️ Thank goodness I was fairly young in this great era. Thanks for playing our memories.
Brockhampton's Saturation albums 1-3 in 1 year would like a word.
Elton John & Bernie Taupin were a musical combo well beyond their time
Timeless.
Timeless indeed!!!
Made it seem effortless, too. In my all time top ten artists.🥰💕
Elton John and Bernie Taupin = Global treasures :))
Geniuses for sure
“Daniel” makes me cry every time
I think of my son's when I hear Daniel! It made me cry before I had kids, now, I just can't help it... One of my all time favorite songs!
@@jesswebb588 😍
I don't know if this is true or not but Daniel is about the Spanish civil war...
My eldest son...is called Daniel....for that self-same reason.
I went to Spain at about the time this single came out! It made my mom cry, because I was in love with a Spaniard named Alberto and almost went to Spain to live with him!
I still, vividly, remember the first time I heard "Your Song" on the radio, while standing in my best friend's kitchen, looking out the window. I fell in love with it, and it's still my favorite EJ song nearly 50 years later. It's perfect.
You summed it up perfectly...”Elton John sings right through you” 💯❤️😘
Elton wrote all his songs within 1 hour of getting Bernie Taupins lyrics. Musical genius
Jay- you need to watch a few documentaries on the Bernie/Elton duo. How they got together is an interesting story, and the fact that they never even occupy the same space while writing a song is mind blowing...
Indeed! No question!
amazing colab between those 2. AMAZING
Elton wrote all the music for the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album - perhaps his greatest album - in one weekend.
@@tektoniks_architects e;ton is amazing in every way. love the guy
This is from the album 'Madman Across the Water' and nearly every track on that LP is golden.
Probably my favorite album of all time.
Has anybody here seen Razorface?
@@domeshine69 He was laying down when I saw him.
@@domeshine69 Yes, Razor face, and Rotten Peaches are both underrated songs.
definitely
Elton John "Philadelphia Freedom" I know you'll bop to that one! It was so good he was invited on Soul Train to perform it and rocked the house!
'
Love that song
Yes, I agree♥️♥️
My daughter chose this song for the bride portion of the photos video at her wedding. Hearing it always brings back wonderful memories. I was blessed to see Sir Elton perform this masterpiece in person!
Elton will put you in the zone. His lyrics paint a picture every time. 🕊💖🕊
Someone Saved My Life Tonight,LOVE!
Almost 50 years listening to this song and will never get tired of it. Elton John is my favorite artist and Tiny Dancer my favorite song. Thanks for doing it.
"Border Song" has the best verse that I think Taupin ever wrote. Its even more important today than its ever been. PLEASE.
Gallery 96 incredible song!
Ditto
Elton wrote this about Bernie Taupin's wife. And she was the "seamstress for the band".
I love Elton John’s voice. Tiny Dancer is my favorite.
There's a man over there. What's his color, I don't care. He's my brother. Let us live in peace.
You might also like Elton's songs "Your Song," "Goodbye, Yellow-Brick Road." "Daniel," "Philadelphia Freedom" and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart." (And that's just some of his bigger hits between 1970 and 1976! :-) )
Candle in the Wind? Marilyn Monroes song...
@@BritishFreedom and reworked for Lady Diana.
Levon, Madman Across the Water, Indian Sunset
Marcus Oh-really-yes Some good choices though you missed the best like, Burn Down The Mission, Come Down In Time,Madman Across The Water, Sixth Years On, Levon, Indian Summer,Daniel , And much more before he went and sold out and later due to an operation lost the high range of his voice!
mark tuchscherer I love LEVON. The words tell a sad story, but not depressing.
You have only touched the outer boundary of Elton John's huge catalog of songs that received significant air time on the radio. The number is more than you probably believe it can be. It is a very, very deep rabbit hole.
So true
Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding, Levon and Daniel...epic.
Oh yes !!!! Forgot about that one. Great song
Excellent choice.
I Feel Like a Bullet in the Gun of Robert Ford is another not so popular one.
I love Kevon too!
M May All excellent choices!
Classics, man doesn't get better than this
His catalog is SO deep you could be listening for days! This is one of my favorites of his! I love when the drum beat drops!
"I guess that's why they call it the blues"
K C NO!
Yes!!!!!
Bernie wrote the lyrics. He was a genius. And Elton's voice and piano playing are unlike any other.
SO true. I saw him three times in concert. Two solos and one with Billy Joel. They were transcendental! The first concert was with three different pianos; the second one was at the time he did Yellow Brick Road and he was very flamboyant. They were all so phenomenal!

9. We are fall in love sometimes.
And many many more grear song's
JV, the light is bursting out of your soul tonight! Elton does that to people. Thanks for making my evening. Love you!
The 4 guys in the Elton John Band are sooooo underrated. They really were extremely talented and creative.
Rocket Man 🚀🚀🚀🛸🛸🛰🛰 Also, Candle in the Wind (Lyrics by Bernie Taupin with music by Elton John). It is a tribute originally written in 1973 for Marilyn Monroe who had died 11 years earlier.

Someone Saved My Life Tonight you would love. His library is deep! Another rock icon!
Who besides me can't help but see a scene from the film Almost Famous in their head anytime you hear this tune??
Yes! Every single time.
I can’t. I see him onstage which I have. Twice. He’s a genius as is Bernie Taupin as a poet.
@@benclarke8500 That is my favorite scene in the movie cuz it rang so true for me. When I was young I was a member of a very active and successful marching music organization.

This song was a hidden gem for awhile, then it was used in a key scene in the movie Almost Famous and then it became popular again.
You are home
Elton John is so good! Extended version of “SOMEONE SAVE MY LIFE TONIGHT” would draw another great reaction I’m sure!
you arent going to get this kind of feeling from hip hop or rap music, this shit gives me chills its so good, wonderful reaction I can see the joy on your face bro
There’s no end to his talent. Great singer/songwriter and a living legend. Unique voice you recognize right away. Thanks for your reaction.
I had the pleasure of seeing Elton John in 1999 in NC! Just him and his piano!! No words!
Bennie and the Jets is a brilliant Elton John song. It's my favourite too
Great video! 👏👌
Good song
What movie is Bennie and the Jets from ?
@@peterkelley4346 I don't think it was in any movie.

From his show in 1974 to his tour last year! Were so lucky to have seen him play live! Watching the master at work is like nothing else
This was from Elton's singing/songwriting heyday! Yes, he is a world treasure!!
An underrated song, in my opinion, from Elton is "Levon".
LEVON!
Another quite underrated song is Sartorial Eloquence
Out of all the “music reaction” videos people do you, by far, are the best! You can tell what a sensitive, soulful person you are. Keep up the fantastic work, I just can’t get enough!
This song will always have a special place in my heart. When I was young my dad would put this on the record player and dance around the living room with me and my younger sister. Always brings the nostalgia.
Your Song, by Elton definitely my favorite! Glad you enjoy him too. :D
Also if you want watch "Almost Famous". Fantastic.*chef's kiss*
"Count the headlights on the highway"...So glad that you are savoring the songs of my childhood in the 1970's! Bernie Taupin and Elton John, one of the greatest songwriting partnerships.
This man is such a master. An awesome song. YOU GOTTA REACT TO: Elton John and George Michael singing, "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me".
God yes. He would LOVE that.
That’s a great version. I also like Roger Daltry’s cover on the lost boys sound track.
1,000% YES!! Best request EVER
I've requested that a few times
Great song! The violins are so fine to elevate the emotion.
Team Elton John up, w/George Michael & watch the outcome! George Michael sings in concert (Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me), an Elton John song & then Elton joins him on stage. AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE!!!
One of my favorite songs. Again, love watching your reaction to these songs. You might like these - "Goodbye Yellow Brook Road", "Daniel", "Someone Saved My Life Tonight", "Levon", Elton John's tribute to Freddie Mercury - "The Show Must go On".
My vote goes to Madman Across the Water" and "Someone Saved my Life Tonight".
lona burgess Definitely Madman.
I wish I would have scrolled here first, Thanks for reminding me the name of the song I was trying to think of, Someone saved my life tonight.
Someone Saved My Life Tonight is the one I have been asking for.
I can see, very well, there's a boat on a reef with a broken back...and I can see it very well.
Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding is a masterpiece
Another great reaction. I forgot how great Elton John's voice was, I love the orchestral bits too.
One of hist best Albums.....Madman Across The Water. Saw him in November WOW!
Any of these will do...
1. Candle in the Wind
2. Saturday Nights Alright For Fighting
3. Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word

Once again Thank You for bringing back so many memories . All my girlfriends would sing this as loud as we could 😊
My favorite song of Elton's. Thanks. Made my night.
Elton John was asked one time, how is this transition made between you and Bernie Taupin when it comes to the lyrics and the music you write to them. He was asked if him and Bernie got together and discussed the lyrics. He said Bernie hands me the lyrics and I write music to them, no discussion. He said most of the time I don't even know what the lyrics mean. I just write music.

This song is just one of the many Elton John songs that are just as amazing today as they were 40 years ago. Thank you for appreciating it. Just a magical sound.
Oh I love Elton John. All his songs are W0NDERFUL and BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for playing Jayvee

Tiny Dancer from the Madman Across The Water album, one of his best. The track "Levon" was released on single in the US c/w "Goodbye". on UNI records and later on DJM. "Tiny Dancer" was also released on UNI records in 1972 c/w "Razor Face" but no singles were released in the UK from this iconic album.

Also, Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word and Empty Garden are some of my favorites!!
I had goose bumps from the opening notes!!! Haven't heard it since the movie. "Almost Famous". Also Mona Lisa a nd Mad Hatters.

Not on this one. This would be Roger Pope on the recording. Nigel didn’t play on the Madman album. Did play the promo tour however.
@@javamusik Ok....thanks for the correction Jeff. I had no idea.
Elton John
Someone Saved My Life Tonight
Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me, Someone Saved My Life Tonight.
Love this in "Almost Famous"
You know real talent you make me smile Thanks in this time we need Music & A Smile
And hearing Elton John singing this live makes it even better.
Elton John & the Who..Pinball Wizard ..This is amazing.. You need to watch his movie..
Such a great singer love his songs. Daniel is so lovely 😊😊💖
I love how in concert, he always knows that girls love this one. But now this song always makes me think of "Almost Famous"
This used to be my favorite EJ song until I discovered “Funeral for a Friend,” which is his real “masterpiece “ IMO.
He’s a truly gifted musician. I didn’t realize just HOW gifted he was until I saw “Rocket Man.” That reminds me to watch some documentaries about him.
Elton John must really love Tony Danza...
Ha!
😃
I love this song but I hear Pheobe say Tony Danza every time I hear it now! 😂
Ay Yo, AAAnGela?
Hey, MOna?
Hey, SamanTa?
Ay Yo, JonaTin?
I loved Tony Danza, in "She's Out Of Control".
Don’t Go Breakin My Heart is an awesome song.
And Kiki Dee !
From the album
MAD MAN ACROSS THE WATER
lots of amazing songs on this album
Came out in the 70s
Your pick for tonight's line up was excellent. Elton is one of the finest musicians we have. Thanks
I saw Elton and Billy Joel tour together. Elto was Ill but he was still incredible. What an epic pairing!
Elton - modern day Chopin and Bernie Taupin's writing, what a duo, very hard act to follow
You reminded me of why I liked this song in the first place.
“Lay back and take it in”..... it’s how I always listen to Elton’s music. The musician notes are awesome. CROC ROCKING
I just watched the Elton John movie, very sad story, you should check it out. Get ready to have your heart broken though, his dad is a piece of work. Candle in the wind was huge in the late 90s since he changed it to honor princess diana. "Your song" is beautiful too
Sometimes there,s just no words to describe your feelings just beautiful.peace to you😇🙏
One of the very best from 1970 to 1974 at his pinnacle! Please react to Levon, Madman Across The Water, Indian Summer, and Burn Down The Mission.
