I don't think the drugs helped his music. His addiction really started at the time of the 1974 Caribou album- he was already a superstar by then, with lots of brilliant music under his belt. The next album was the, er. fantastic album Captain Fanatstci and the Brown Dirt Cowboy but his music and career declined from 1976.
They didn’t adopt a child. Their two children were born to a surrogate mother but years after Blessed was released. Their children are biologically theirs. David is named as the father on the birth certificates.
Sir Elton John is an icon in the music industry starting his career back in 1962 and doing a farewell tour starting this year. With his career doing rock, soft rock, glam rock and pop rock. I just love to hear him sing having grown up with this amazing talent from preteen to modern day. He has an amazing voice and just a pure talent for connecting with his fans. He is just amazing doing soundtracks for Disney. He and his music will live on forever because he has touched so many generations. With him being only 74 and having a net worth of 5 million dollars his 2 kids won't have much to worry about.
I am sorry Jayy, I have a hard time listening to this particular Elton John Song. This song stirs up alot of sad memories. Someone I was very closed to used to play this song.
I was around when Elton John first got started and i got to hear all this wonderful music when it was new...it still sounds just as good today. You might try the whole Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album...everything on it is good. The Madman Across The Water album is another favorite.
This is from the last album Elton recorded before he went in for drug treatment. He lost a lot of weight and he looked at least 20 years older than he actually was. But he has reportedly been off of drugs since 1990.
One of my favorite is his, I saw him in concert 4 years ago and he was still fantastic. His album, captain fantastic and brown dirt cowboy is one of his best.
This classic song just got the 2021 dance treatment in a brand-new Elton John version called "COLD HEART" -- so be sure to check it out!! It's an amazing mashup masterpiece of 4 Elton songs (Sacrifice/Rocketman/Kiss the Bride/Where's the Shoorah) cleverly brought together by the stupendous production of Pnau and the perfectly-matched collab with Dua Lipa!
I have not heard this in forever. I used to have this on a mix tape I made. Actual tape, lol. I would record, then cut and spice by hand. Then, record the whole thing on one tape so it wouldn't fall apart. Clear tape doesn't last that long. Good song.
My Elton favourites: Curtains Candle in the Wind (1973) Someone Saved my Life Tonight Rocket Man Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding Tiny Dancer High Flying Bird Your Song Original Sin Indian Sunset Daniel The Last Song Captain Fantastic We all Fall in Love Sometimes Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Bennie and the Jets Come Down in Time Skyline Pigeon (1972) I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That The One Believe Sacrifice Levon Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters Tonight Gone to Shiloh Where to now St Peter Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word I've Seen That Movie Too Empty Garden Madman across the Water (Tumbleweed Connection bonus track version)
He is the all-time most successful solo artist on the Billboard charts in USA, has sold well over 300 million records, and with 2 big hit singles now in the last couple of months.
One of my favorites too.. I had it on 8-track!😁. Saturday Nights Alright For Fighting is a real rocker... But the best is Honky Cat...so funky and love those horns!
@@studio6880 To me around 5:16 it showed the woman leaving.. or living her own separate life. Then the man is left happy living and dancing with the child.
@@elianapit0099 No she left him and the child. To me she wanted glitz and glamor she leaves the “ regular life”with him in the daughter in the loft. Then you see her later in designer clothes, silk and satin, fancy house. She left them for what she considers the “highlife”.
Without sacrifice and love, relationships tend to struggle moving forward in time and space. When things start to fail between individuals, it's hard to continue moving forward when things seem to change. Yet. Sacrifice and love should not be that difficult when each person truly loves one another.
His voice is amazingly beautiful. I like his earlier music which had less production and more of Elton’s gorgeous piano playing. Would love to see you react to his performance of “Your Song” dressed like Donald Duck live in Central Park. You can find it on RUclips. It’s just good fun. 🥰
Nice react ✌🏼 could u do him singing "Saturday night its alright for fighting" live in Central Park?? Its really funny and u can see what an amazing Entertainer he is
Even if you don’t record a reaction video to it you must listen to his song Whispers. It is my favourite Elton John song. I have yet to see anyone react to it.
First solo #1. He had many big hits before this in UK, of course, including Rocket Man, #2 in 1972. His first #1 single in UK was Don't Go Breaking My Heart, a duet with Kiki Dee, his first in USA was Crocodile Rock in 1972. From 1972-75 he had 7 consecutive #1 albums in USA!
Okay here we go, it was about the love of him for his daughter but it started off with a love between him and his lady that he tried to save ,but the temptation crawling was not through the man’s eyes it was through the ladies eyes and she left them and through the man’s eyes there was no sacrifice because the love of him towards his daughter there was no sacrifice ...... and that’s it .... That’s what I think anyways
Come on, the guy simply cheated on his wife..some other woman seduced him and he fell for it. Maybe the baby is from the other woman.. You misunderstood the whole thing.
@@studio6880 Song facts says: "This song is about how hard it is to stay faithful and devoted in a marriage, challenging the worn-down mantra that a successful union requires "sacrifice." Elton sings that it's no sacrifice at all, it's just "two hearts living in two separate worlds." Why do people always go to its the man who was cheating, plenty of cases where it was the woman who did the cheating and she leaves because she wanted to be with her lover.
The woman left her husband and child -rewatch, you’ll see it… the father continues to raise the child alone saying to her, it’s no sacrifice, I do this because I love you
@@elianapit0099 jealous or maybe resentful that she had to live the life she made with her husband and child Jealous other get to live the life they want not what they think their expected to so
@@gregoryreed4866 so she wasn’t jealous of her husband just jealous that she wasn’t living the life she wanted so she left for a different life?can you explain exactly?I appreciate it
she wanted her career more than her family. He wanted family and a life with her but after she left he realized it wasn't really a sacrifice loosing her. He loved her and felt jealous and hurt when she left to pursue her dreams without them (he and their daughter).
I've been an Elton John now for probably about 50 years or so. I have to say that for me it's not one of his best, and a tad boring . I can think of a hundred of his songs that are better than this.
Elton has that endless beauty in his voice💙
Hey
@@amandamccool5478 Hey !
Elton’s internal struggles and emotion,along with his addictions,made for some tremendous music.This one is great.
I don't think the drugs helped his music. His addiction really started at the time of the 1974 Caribou album- he was already a superstar by then, with lots of brilliant music under his belt. The next album was the, er. fantastic album Captain Fanatstci and the Brown Dirt Cowboy but his music and career declined from 1976.
The Elton John/Bernie Taupin partnership was Heaven sent. What incredible lyrics and music they have created.
Couldn’t have said it better!
As important as Lennon/McCartney
@@gilesfamily2653 Maybe not as important but in their prolific golden period of 1970-76 even better.
Thank you for doing this song and I feel the same way about Elton John I'm a huge fan and this is one song of his that makes me cry.
That is true about his voice for me as well. Never get tired of it. So much emotion. Lifelong fan. 55 years anyway.
"Blessed" is a beautiful song written when he and his partner adopted a child. ❤️
Blessed was on the excellent 1995 album Made in England: when did they adopt a child? Later they did try to adopt a Ukrainian boy.
They didn’t adopt a child. Their two children were born to a surrogate mother but years after Blessed was released. Their children are biologically theirs. David is named as the father on the birth certificates.
I guess that's why they call it the blues,. Girl this song is a must you will love love love it
Gotta check out blues eyes
one of my favorite songs by Elton John.
I got so happy when I saw Sir Elton John's name in the title 🔥✌🤘❤
Sir Elton John is an icon in the music industry starting his career back in 1962 and doing a farewell tour starting this year. With his career doing rock, soft rock, glam rock and pop rock.

Elton John is just... amazing. And I LOVE listening to this song when I'm alone and feeling contemplative and maybe a little melancholy. ❤
I am sorry Jayy, I have a hard time listening to this particular Elton John Song.
This song stirs up alot of sad memories. Someone I was very closed to used to play this song.
Elton’s voice is like a warm blanket.
I was around when Elton John first got started and i got to hear all this wonderful music when it was new...it still sounds just as good today. You might try the whole Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album...everything on it is good. The Madman Across The Water album is another favorite.

" circle of life " will move you ❤️
One of my favorite Elton John
Il y a tellement d'émotions dans cette chanson ❤. C'est magnifique ❤.
One of my favorite is his, I saw him in concert 4 years ago and he was still fantastic. His album, captain fantastic and brown dirt cowboy is one of his best.
My three favorite songs by him are "Sacrifice", "The One" and "The Last Song".
All three from the same period, late 80s/early 90s. The Last Song deserves to be better known
I guess why they call it the Blues is a good song as well
One of my favorites from Elton and there are many is "Empty Garden" about John Lennon.
My favorite; thank you !!
This classic song just got the 2021 dance treatment in a brand-new Elton John version called "COLD HEART" -- so be sure to check it out!! It's an amazing mashup masterpiece of 4 Elton songs (Sacrifice/Rocketman/Kiss the Bride/Where's the Shoorah) cleverly brought together by the stupendous production of Pnau and the perfectly-matched collab with Dua Lipa!

Elton was the highest selling artist of all time 20 years ago. I don't know about now, but he's legendary in music
He is the all-time most successful solo artist on the Billboard charts in USA, has sold well over 300 million records, and with 2 big hit singles now in the last couple of months.
Healing Hands is a very underrated song from Elton John. Give it a listen.
I absolutely love that one!
A totally different vibe to this but another Elton classic - you should react to Crocodile Rock. That was one of his first major hits
One of my favorites too.. I had it on 8-track!😁. Saturday Nights Alright For Fighting is a real rocker... But the best is Honky Cat...so funky and love those horns!
It's funny how most comments mention his more well known songs, when there is a wealth of lesser known fantastic album tracks out there! 🙄
For truly powerful vocals try Sinead O'Connor's version of Sacrifice
The guy didn't 'step out' the woman did, leaving him to raise their daughter alone
Why did the woman "step out"? wasn't that he was cheating on her?
@@studio6880 To me around 5:16 it showed the woman leaving.. or living her own separate life. Then the man is left happy living and dancing with the child.
@@busgal2887 It was confusing as what was the story?
@@busgal2887 He didn't cheat on her?
@@elianapit0099 No she left him and the child. To me she wanted glitz and glamor she leaves the “ regular life”with him in the daughter in the loft. Then you see her later in designer clothes, silk and satin, fancy house. She left them for what she considers the “highlife”.
When things go wrong
Cold Cold heart
Check out "Nikita".Beautiful production.Also "Danie"l and "The Last song"
One of his best song maybe on his top 3
Hi Jayy🖐️,can i recommend you The Last Song(official video) by Elton?, It's a beautiful and sad song about a guy with AIDS and his father...
Roxette- Must’ve been love (Live Santiago and Studio Los Angeles)
Without sacrifice and love, relationships tend to struggle moving forward in time and space. When things start to fail between individuals, it's hard to continue moving forward when things seem to change. Yet. Sacrifice and love should not be that difficult when each person truly loves one another.
Startling to think this was his first solo UK No. 1 single (although he topped the chart in 1976 with Kiki Dee).
"You gotta love someone" and "Measure of a man" by Elton John.
Please react to Nikita by Elton John.....now that is a story to music.
Please review Blessed, Little Jeannie, Circle of Life, The One, Blue Eyes, and Philadelphia freedom.
Nice choice! One of his lesser famous songs but still an example of an excellent songwriter, lyrics and melody. 💕
Beautiful song
Another great song from this album is Healing Hands
Great song!
Love the song, love the album.
yes it is a fine album.
candle in the wind from australia
It's not a bautiful world, is a human sign, when things gone wrong, but now are sacrifice, people are sacrifice in the world.
His voice is amazingly beautiful. I like his earlier music which had less production and more of Elton’s gorgeous piano playing. Would love to see you react to his performance of “Your Song” dressed like Donald Duck live in Central Park. You can find it on RUclips. It’s just good fun. 🥰
Songs from the West Coast album is excellent, as is the Union, with Leon Russell- his best of this millennium probably
Beautiful song , request for the Judds , Grandpa tell me about the good ole days. Thanks
Try Sinead O’Connor’s cover of “Sacrifice”.
Honey, listen to "High Flying Bird" off the album "Don't Shoot Me", his vocals are heart-wrenching.
Legend nuf said
Nice react ✌🏼 could u do him singing "Saturday night its alright for fighting" live in Central Park?? Its really funny and u can see what an amazing Entertainer he is
Please do a reaction to Elton John All that I’m allowed. I think you’ll love the song and video.
Please react to his song Daniel, I bet you cry.
"Club at the end of the street" by Elton John
Could you react to "Losing your memory" by Ryan Star
Or "it is what it is" by Lifehouse
Or "this is your life" by switchfoot? ❤❤
Nice react
Even if you don’t record a reaction video to it you must listen to his song Whispers. It is my favourite Elton John song. I have yet to see anyone react to it.
One of my favourites as well
Lovely song 😍👍😁
Jayy, could you react to the song God Shuffled His Feet by The Crash Test Dummies? Thank you xoxo
Believe it or not, this song was Elton's first #1 hit in his native UK in 1990.
First solo #1. He had many big hits before this in UK, of course, including Rocket Man, #2 in 1972. His first #1 single in UK was Don't Go Breaking My Heart, a duet with Kiki Dee, his first in USA was Crocodile Rock in 1972. From 1972-75 he had 7 consecutive #1 albums in USA!
Robert plant. Big log
Try staind (it’s been a while) you will thank me!

Check out: Faster Pussycat-House of Pain.
You should listen Sinead O'Connor version
Okay here we go, it was about the love of him for his daughter but it started off with a love between him and his lady that he tried to save ,but the temptation crawling was not through the man’s eyes it was through the ladies eyes and she left them and through the man’s eyes there was no sacrifice because the love of him towards his daughter there was no sacrifice ...... and that’s it ....
That’s what I think anyways
Why did she leave them?
Come on, the guy simply cheated on his wife..some other woman seduced him and he fell for it. Maybe the baby is from the other woman.. You misunderstood the whole thing.
jajajajaja cool
She cheated on him and they had a kid but she left and he raised the baby and it wasn’t a sacrifice at all. He was happy to just be a dad
I think the he cheated on her.
No. The guy cheated on his wife
If your liking Elton John... you have to react to crocodile rock.
It's funny how most comments mention his best known songs, when there is a wealth of lesser known fantastic album tracks out there! 🙄
The video was that the woman walk out from her man leaving to bring up their child.
Why did she walk out from her man? was he cheating on her?
The video is that the guy was cheating on his wife. The video is nonsensical tho cuz she left the baby to him.
I seen the video of that with the song
@@richardworonowicz9076 yes.. but can you tell why she leaves the child ?
The daughter is from the man’s previous relationship and his wife can’t accept his daughter
This is about the mother leaving and the father bringing his daughter up as a single dad
Why the mother left ?I thought he was cheating on her.

@@Westcountrynordic I can't understand this video and what exactly it is about..why this woman leaves her daughter?
@@niloofarchegini8855 The song never really says but it happens sometime where the mother would leave and its the father who brings up the children

Why she left them?
@@elianapit0099 selfishness and jealousy-song implies and says it
@@gregoryreed4866 you mean she was jealous of her husband so she left her child? That makes no sense.

she wanted her career more than her family. He wanted family and a life with her but after she left he realized it wasn't really a sacrifice loosing her. He loved her and felt jealous and hurt when she left to pursue her dreams without them (he and their daughter).
She became a successful model
Finally someone understands the story.
He was cheating on her. That’s why she left him. You got it all wrong
@@lilycole9445 nope. she left for her career. If he was in the wrong how did he windup with the daughter? She would have took her.
@@fragman21 ok, how do you know she left for career?
I've been an Elton John now for probably about 50 years or so. I have to say that for me it's not one of his best, and a tad boring . I can think of a hundred of his songs that are better than this.
Underratecd song, for sure.
