Bernie Taupin wrote all his lyrics for years and Elton would compose music to go with them. It was a perfect match that is often hard to believe. Taupin has explained that a lot of the imagery is inspired by Elton almost getting married when he was 20 and getting drunk with two musician friends who told him it was a bad idea. But Taupin usually mixes things up to not be specific.
I've heard that story before. I thought that might be the inspiration.
@@leighsaldivar4439 Uhhh I don't think that's right.
@@mickeykmiller my bad. I must’ve confused him with someone else
"Sugar Bear" refers to Long John Baldry, one of the people who talked Elton out of getting married.
Long John Baldry is also inspiration for his stage name Elton JOHN.
This reminds me so much of my Dad. He was a massive Elton fan - saw him five times in concert. I was raised on Elton. Dad died far too young at the age of 48 - I was 24. This was played at his wake. Just love it...even though it kind of makes me sad. x
Lovely memory of your dad. :)
I feel for you as my parents both went young too. Hang in there.⚘
What a beautiful song to play for your Dad. So sorry for your loss at a young age x
So sorry for the loss of your dad ❤
Thank you Karina. It's sad to lose them so young. I was 16 in 1975 when this came out on the Captain Fantastic album. High school memories as well. I truly wish the best for you and yours.
According to Song Facts, Sugar Bear was the nickname of the guy that talked Elton out of getting married.
Long John Baldry
Sugar Bear is Long John Baldry, an English musician who along with Bernie Taupin, the lyricist, told Elton not to get married back when he was twenty.
But gay marriage wasn't legal back then! 🤔
I was born in '70. Three older siblings and the oldest, a sister, used to play Elton incessantly. When I hear this song I can smell the fresh air blowing through our small but loving home. I can see the shag carpet, and colorful posters, and hear the hushed laughter of my siblings as we tried not to wake Mom and Dad. It's like we are young again. 😥
One of the other commenters mentioned that Taupin had said the song was inspired by Elton's decision to call off a planned wedding. That makes sense to me -- especially based on the line "you almost had me altar bound, hypnotized, [but] sweet freedom whispered in my ear, you're a butterfly and butterflies are free . . ." I was in bed with someone for the first time once and suddenly had a strong impression that I was about to get stuck in a manipulative relationship. I left and rode my bike home in the sleet and snow, with the lyrics from this song running through my head.
I’ve read the same story about the origin of the song.. in fact I think he said as much once when I saw him live in Baltimore 🤔
Sounds like something a guy would do
That's true.
Brad & Lex, you'll love his "Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding" and "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me!!!
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
The song is about a time when Elton John was young and about to get married. Bernie Topin and another friend John Baldry told him it was a huge mistake and he took their advice and broke off the engagement. Linda Woodrow is the woman. She wasn't very pleased with the song.
Sugar Bear is a term of endearment.
Yes, he felt suicidal, he says, but "saved my life", think it was like talked him out of this marriage. (I also think sugar bear was her knick name maybe?)
@@gogi682 Elton John was literally suicidal over the whole situation because he didn't see a way out of the engagement. He didn't want the marriage and also didn't want to hurt Linda Woodrow. This was a time when he was a heavy alcoholic.
Bernie Topin walked into the kitchen one night and physically pulled Eltons head out of a gas oven. "Someone saved my life tonight" is a reference to Bernie physically saving his life and also Bernie and Johns advice to break the engagement before he committed his life to someone he didn't love that deeply.
Sugar Bear was Long John Baldry’s nickname.
@@andreivolkov1237 lol
One of Elton's greatest cuts. Such thought provoking lyrics. Taupin and Elton had a unique gift with brilliant song writing and musicianship.
I've been an Elton John fan since the 70's. I've seen him live 3 times. The ultimate showman. This happens to be my favorite Elton John song. I have a very, very dear friend that lives in London and this is kind of "our song". She came to visit me in LA for the summer when I was living there back in the 70's. There wasn't a day that went by that we didn't play this song. To this day we'll text each other when the song comes on. Brings back so many wonderful memories for me. Love you Sara.
That’s an awesome story. Great artist!
my favorite too, not sure why, it just hits me
Elton wrote ALL the music. Bernie Taupin wrote ALL the early lyrics. This song included.
as a kid I asked my mom how come someone so gay writes alot about woman and seems to like them.....
@@danw2276 And.....? What did she say?
@@danw2276 Elton was the first male performer I remember to come out as bisexual. And his personal history seems consistant with that declaration.
@@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax LOL. she said it was to sell more albums.
The real hero on this track is the drummer, Nigel Olsson... The restraint he shows and the drag time he plays coming out of the bridge is so dynamic and perfectly played. This is one of my GOAT tracks for the production and musicianship.
I don't disagree except that all of Elton's production work was impeccable.
One of Elton's greatest songs...Nigel Olssen is absolutely killing the drums here.... incredible.
“…just a pawn outplayed by a dominating queen…” -one of the greatest lyrics ever written
This is from an autobiographical concept album ‘Captain Fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy’ Elton John writes all the music. Bernie Taupin writes the words. All of the songs were about both of their experiences, throughout their musical career to that point (1975) so yes, Elton puts all of his feelings into this song because he lived the painful experience
John was in a relationship with a woman he didn't love and felt trapped. He attempted suicide in a half-hearted way, and lyricist Bernie Taupin found him. Taupin then wrote the song to be more about John's friend John Baldry, who had been trying to talk John into ending that relationship with the woman.
Long John Baldry! "Don't Try to Lay No Boogie Woogie on the King of Rock and Roll"
I remember seeing Bernie being interviewed about that suicide attempt by Elton, strangely it was kinda funny when he told it. Bernie said it was a dramatic halfhearted attempt, that Elton had the windows wide open when he stuck his head in the oven.
True story 😮🥲🥲🥲
Baldry's nickname was Sugar Bear. Brad nailed it.
Wrong. Elton John is gay. It's about a male suitor.
This is my absolute favorite Elton John song
Lex. I have always had the same idea about the words that Elton sings. I feel that its because Elton and Bernie had such a close artistic feeling , so the words and the music and the singing were SO good.
This song is super powerful because he put so much emotion in to making the song because he wanted to let you feel like he felt almost milking himself and his friend saved him
This is such a haunting and beautiful song - something about the melody and Elton's voice brings me chills every time I hear it. I am sure there are many who can relate to the lyrics at some point in their life. Thank you guys for posting this! Great reaction🧡🦋
It's all about when Elton nearly married a woman in 1970, his friends talked him out of this marriage Elton didn't want. Lyrics always written by Bernie Taupin, music by Elton.
@@gogi682 Yes, I had heard this story. Another example of life experiences creating wonderful songs:)
One of MANY Elton songs that hold sooo many memories of back then for sooo many people...Alot of Elton's 70's and some 80's.
Elton John is a huge part of the soundtrack of my childhood/adulthood. You can’t beat 70’s Elton.👍
One of my favourite songs by Elton. Reminds me of mom as she actually liked Elton John . R.I.P Mom.
Elton John and Bernie Taupin really wrote some masterpieces. This is one of their best.
This is a passionately felt and performed song, not just beautiful but powerful.
The band's backing vocals are amazing.
When i started buying records in the early 70's, i devoured damn near everything this man put out. Love Elton.
Ohh this song just brought a tear to my eye, I’ve always loved it. I can tell by other comments this song is really strong for bringing up memories from that time period. I remember a lot from that time in my childhood, my parents were still together, my best friend was always with me, and everyone, EVeryone loved Elton John.
Brings me back to my first girlfriend in high school. My first true love. She shattered me. I wrote these lyrics and sent them to her. I was angry and hurt. Pain still lingers today... 46 years on.
Yep, the first one really does cut the deepest.
I remember my first true love in high school. We kissed (made out really) after school on friday, and as she got on her bus she swore our love would be forever and she would call me when she got home from her church retreat.
She did call too, to tell me she was too tired to talk and she wanted to talk to me before school - which she did.
She had her friend with her when we met, standing with her with her arms folded across her chest.
My GF proceeded to tell me it was over and she didn't want to see me anymore. I was shocked and trying to process it as she walked away.
Found out from a mutual friend she met another guy at the church retreat, and that was it for me.
It effected me in relationships after that. I never wanted to be caught so off-guard and vulnerable again, and usually pulled the pin at the first sign of trouble to avoid being dumped like that.
So I can related to your comment big time, except I never thought this song was about that kind of breakup.
It sounds like Elton was the one going after his freedom and doing the dumping.
@Kala 80 We occasionally used to send each other written lyrics to songs that were meaningful to us. I remember her handing me the lyrics to "When Will I See You Again." Teenage drama. Still impactful.
@@nealm6764 Understood. But she was my first-- for everything. Worst age to get hooked in like that. Yeah, you're right about Elton doing the dumping, but I was just angry and lashing out. Made me feel better to think I was the one saying "get lost."
I have never been fortunate enough to go to an Elton John concert, but anyone I speak to who has seen Elton live, tells me it was the best concert they've ever heard.
Yes, in 1974 best concert ever!
I might be one dissenter. Only saw him once, when Eric Clapton opened for him at Shea Stadium in NY around 1990, and it was Clapton that blew me away. Elton came on and seemed flat, or at least my expectation of him being even better than Clapton disappointed me. Not a big Clapton fan, but a huge Elton fan, excited to finally watch him Live.
If you have Disney +, I believe the last show is still available via streaming. I watched it live Sunday night.
@@MoMoMyPup10 A legend like Eric Clapton would be a hard act to follow for any performer! 👍
I did and it was! It was at his height after Goodbye Yellowbrick Road can out, Madison Square Garden
Love this tune, one of my favorites by Elton and Bernie. Thanks Brad and Lex
The first song that I remember listening to as a child. I might have been 5 years old, but this song has the word DAMMIT in it and I couldn't get enough of it, dammit.
It has one of the BEST DAMMITs I've ever heard in a song too, DAMMIT lol
One of his best vibe songs. Pure 70’s nostalgia for me. His old stuff is his best.
One of my favorite Elton songs, such a talented duo of him and Bernie.
The whole of Captain Fantastic album is written beautifully with Elton and Bernie's story told with wonderful songs.
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. This was a double album if I remember correctly with Elton and Bernie represented on each cover.
I don't think it was released anywhere as a double album. I'm pretty sure the only two studio double albums were Goodbye Yellow Brick Road released in 1973 and Blue Moves in 1976.
There's no question that Captain Fantastic was one of Elton's (and Bernie's) greatest achievements, l still have my original vinyl copy with all the 'extras' intact.
I have to say that l do prefer side one of the album with the wonderful title track, Tower of Babel and Tell Me When the Whistle Blows, those are a few of my favourite Elton songs.
Damn Brad, you totally nailed it. When you played the sampled version at the end it's clearly exactly the same thing but they speeded it up so it raised it in Pitch about a minor third and therefore it's a bit higher and a bit faster but yeah wow that's a great catch. And Lex? You just kill me over and over again with your perceptiveness and your intuition and whatever else. It's pretty amazing. What a great reaction.
❤️. Your loved and respected kiddos. I'm just scrolling and watching both of you. So many of your followers giving you all the backstories and writing nuances about Bernie and Elton. I'm so happy for both of you. I really enjoy watching you guys vibe the song's like you do. It seems to me you let the song take you away immediately. That's the right way to listen. Let the song tell you it's story. Remember not every song is trying to be "Stairway to Heaven". Simple....fun...catchy...poppy...dance...electronic...rap...regge...punk... etc. The artists just wants you to listen and hopes you enjoy the experience.
Absolutely great song and probably my favorite song by him. But people don't ever give much credit to his band. They were GREAT at doing the backing vocals and choruses and of course playing the music.
i love his piano playing; its really distinctive.
Elton John had a way to make his listeners feel like he was singing about them
The music and lyrics of this song are so powerful you just feel it. I have loved this song for more than 40 years.
I was in the 8th grade and this song and Bohemian Rhapsody were always on the radio. Golden era. What a time to experience music.
This is my fave Elton song by far. Also IMO, the drum snare sound here is the best audio recording of a snare sound I've ever heard in any tune.
I was just thinking that it's not only fantastic, it's *really* out of character for a 1970s recording. That "fat" snare sound became more of a common thing in the 1980s, especially with certain producers and performers, but I feel it was extremely rare in the 70s.
Pop was in such a great place when he ruled the airwaves. I always wanted to rock harder than what I heard on the radio, but now I realize it was a damn good hit parade.
It's about almost marrying the wrong person!!! My favorite Elton John song of All Time!!! Those drums rule!!!
I remember the first time I heard this song. Probably 16, 17 yrs old? San Bernardino, CA. Already a die hard fan! I was lounging around the pool (yes we had a pool) when the radio announced this new song! I'll never forget it.
Most definitely musical theatre for the ear and the heart. So many layers and sounds and words coming together to make a symphony of sorts. Elton John reaches the listener on so many levels. Excellent reaction.
Just another great song by the Greatest Ever.
Brad's spot on about "Good Morning" by Kanye. That song, which is also excellent, credits Elton John and Bernie Taupin for the sample from "Someone Saved My Life Tonight."
I grew up with Elton's music, saw him in concert in my 20's. I absolutely love his music with the album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" being my personal favorite and from that album the song, "I've Seen That Movie Too" for me, is the best. What an iconic artist!!
You can never go wrong with Elton John. Such a beautiful song.
I had always enjoyed Elton's songs, I had always like Elton John.
Then one day I heard this song, and I went from a passive "i lie Elton John" to OMG I love it! I went from i enjoyed his music to wow this is amazing.
And has been my favorite since!!!
He played this as like the 4th song or so on his Farewell tour I just saw a month ago, and I got emotional hearing it live. Such a beautiful and haunting sound and powerfully performed.
"Sugar Bear" is likely just a pet name in the relationship that this song is meant to represent. If I had to guess that was "her" name for him, and he was mocking her by saying it in that line
This is exactly what I always thought that lyric was.
Bernie Taupin, who wrote the lyrics to this song, explained: "It tells a story that actually happened. For the most part, most of the things I write are an amalgam of several subjects or feelings that I then cut and paste to create one entity. Not always, but a lot of the time, I mean, I guess you could even say that with this song, the crux of its meaning is sort of surrounded with visual props that are intended to help set the scene for the main event, which was Elton saying adios to this woman who was pushing him into a marriage that he knew deep down in his heart would be a lie on a multitude of levels.
It's packed with imagery, like most of the songs from that album. I was most definitely trying to conjure up an atmosphere and project a moment in time when we were struggling with the mundane areas of life, the everyday struggles to make ends meet. So when I hear that song now, it really makes me think of grey skies and wet streets, smoky pubs; in all, that fragile feeling you just kind of get inside when you're unsure of the future."
This song deals with a time in Elton's life when he was going to get married to a woman named Linda Woodrow, which would have been a big mistake. In the 1991 Two Rooms tribute project, Elton explained: "I was going to get married once when I was younger, and I went out and got drunk with Long John Baldry (Sugar Bear) and Bernie and John said I shouldn't get married. I knew he was right but I didn't know how to get out of it so, I just got drunk and went home and said I'm not getting married."
Despite the epiphany in this song, the first time Elton got married, it was to a woman, Renate Blauel. They married in 1984 and divorced in 1988. Elton's next committed relationships were with men: in 2005 he and David Furnish were joined in a civil union. They got married 2014, the year gay marriage became legal in England.
I'm glad you guys finally got around to this one. It's by far my favorite Elton John song.
My absolute favorite of Elton's hits. I was pretty young when this came out, and it made an indelible impression on my young mind as a fantastic song. The Sugar Bear reference also made an indelible impression that lasts until today, of the animated character of that name used in Sugar Crisp Cereal, whose ads were all over tv at that same time. Grown up I now understand the real meaning behind the reference, but the imagery of that cereal cartoon bear remains. lol But in spite of the goofy memory I just shared, this masterpiece stands the test of time for the past 4+ decades as a moody, ethereal classic.
Ha, I always think about the cereal also.
Yeah!!! Finally someone reacted to this amazing song from the Captain Fantastic album! Thanks.
The genius of Elton John is that he composes music to the lyrics that Bernie Taupin provides to him. And the end result was always spectacular.
I read that he almost married someone and at the last minute he didn't. Someone saved his life. He's awesome in concert. I love Elton John.
Sugar bear was a friend who had given him advice....and Elton put the music to the lyric. A beautiful song.
Sugar bear was singer Long john Baldry
I used to play this song endlessly when it first came out many years ago. This is the first time I have known what the words are !!
Wow, you all picked a hit to listen to. That's an all time favorite of mine.
But, Elton John has written MANY songs of his. He doesn't just have someone write and he waits to sing.
Songs like, Your Song, Bennie and the Jets, Candle in the Wind (his biggest hit actually) and other hits. Now, he may have had co-writers on some of those song too. But, he's a SKILLED song writer and known for that. Not just his piano skills.
Great songs👌A joy to listen to 👏👏
Thank you for reacting 💛💗💓💞
In my mind's eye, I can see my dad's Elton albums among the many others. I always loved this song. Wanting so badly to escape how and where I was growing up. I cried when I witnessed Elton perform this song on his farewell tour.
It’s a True Story, and tied with Bennie and the Jets for my favorite Elton John song ❤
Thank God my music is still alive 🤘🤘
Bernie Taupin + Elton John = Some of the greatest music ever written, hands down. TOGETHER they wrote and composed. This is one of those songs that every man and woman should memerize the lyrics and sing to each other just because.
Always a favorite - although I never understood the lyrics. Now I know it's about calling off a wedding at the last minute. When the song is so good, the specific words don't matter
This song brings back a lot of memories. The summer of 1975 brought a lot of change in my life. My older brother left for the Marines in June and I got my driver license in early August. Big events in a 16 year olds life.
Elton wrote this!! He's an absolute genius and this is a masterpiece. There is so much going on in this song it's ridiculous. And yes it's his experience, but also Bernie's, they were both involved.
Not sure if you're familiar with Elton John's unique song writing process. His collaborator since the late '60s is Bernie Taupin. He writes the lyrics, then sends them to Elton John who composes the music and vocal arrangements to Bernie's lyrics. They're a legendary team!
Also, Elton John is one of the best performers in rock history and his '70s music is some of the best out there.
This is my all time favorite Elton John song! Thanks for playing it! His songs are so easy to sing along with.
Bernie Taupin wrote most songs WITH Elton Johns collaboration, they wrote a team for a long time when writing what Elton put on his own albums. Enjoy the content, keep up the good work.
Thank you for sharing this with me 😊
Fantastic song. Glad you checked it out.
Congratulations, you just listened to one of the greatest songs ever recorded
As others have pointed out, this was about a relationship that Elton almost got "stuck" with. To follow up to this one, you should hear how happy he is in "Philadelphia Freedom". Also, you should hear Can You Feel the Love Tonight or The Circle of Life from the original Lion King (the better version). If you see the movie, Rocket Man", you will learn a lot about Elton and will see the Bernie Taupin/Elton John partnership last from the beginning through the decades.
i think one of the most meaningful songs in his catalog. who at some point in their life could not have benefited from having their life saved.? A true sentiment.
👍👍great work! I really like your reactions. Hope all is well with the little one coming along. My first grandson came last monday. Three granddaughters and now a grandson. I’m a blessed man.
You have such a joyous smile Lex...good to see people embrace happiness like that.
masterclass in songwriting & composing. his songs are like epic stories.
This song always received great concert responses; everyone would raise their voices as the song grew.
In 1968 Elton John was engaged to be married to Linda Woodrow (his girlfriend). They lived together in London (I believe), the story I heard was that he felt trapped in this relationship and Bernie Taupin lived in the same apartment and wrote the song. Sugar Bear is Long John Baldry who talked Elton into breaking the engagement. This is the story as I know it.
💗 I ADORED this song from the first moment it came out on the radio.
Happy Thanksgiving ‼️😁
You guys are great!
Oh man, good stuff. Most excellent!
BEAUTIFUL!!
THIS is from ELTON JOHN's BEST album: CAPTAIN FANTASTIC & THE BROWN DIRT COWBOY. Brilliant from beginning to glorious end.
John l agree it is a brilliant album, but for me the first side is better I've still got my original vinyl copy l bought on release. Those first five songs are some of my favourite Elton John tracks, the second side not quite as good, Better Off Dead is a tad repetitious, We All Fall in Love Sometimes not a strong one either.
My favourite album of his has been Madman Across the Water for years, just love it, I've got hundreds of albums and that one is in my top ten favourites.
@@keithjones7390 "Madman" is probably my second favorite. Love that one. I adore "Better Off Dead" and "Curtains" might be his best album closer ever. ...so while I think "We All Fall In Love Sometimes" might be the weakest song on the album, it's still pretty good. I have the original album, as well... (was there ever a better package of stuff to come with an album? Poster. Lyric booklet. Scrapbook. Fan page flyer... it was an AMAZING experience getting that album. Cheers!
This whole album is a fantsatic journey thru Bernie and Elton's early career. My favs just above this one are We All Fall In Love Sometimes/Curtains. ❤❤
Loved, Love.... Bernie n Elton!!!!
This is just perfection.
this is one of my favorite Elton John songs, just for the sound.
Brad has a good musical ear. Well spotted with the Kanye sample. 😎
I love vintage Elton John
Elton John & Bernie Taupin just made magic together . I'm not always sure that the lyrics actually tell a story more than the lyrics fit so well with the rythm perfectly ..
He is so lucky she is beyond beautiful.
Philadelphia is a fantastic vacation destination, lots of perks in the city and surrounding area, tins of historical sites, great food, used to be a big city for music as well.
As drummer, I totally love when the drums come in with a strong hit on cymbals and snare......good stuff, you really can hear the drums beat in this song.
Nice job Brad 👏 That does sound very similar.
Heard this gazillion times but wow what a great song and the drums!!!’
He composed music for others, also. He was a great composer and unique at the beginning of his popularity in the early to mid 70s.
Good catch (and sharp ear) on that (slightly altered) sample Elton-to-Kanye, Brad! 🔥🎶👂🏾
