I like both versions, but this one...in the context of the scene it just hits so much better. The original became a theme song for me after my first marriage, because my ex consistently tried to tear me down and break me beyond my will. The fact that they blended this with the original music video just...I get chills every time.
While I’m upset Taron didn’t receive an Oscar nomination I’m VERY happy he won the golden globe for his incredible performance! He should do more musicals
@@MrChaotic4 I think it was because of the wrong timing this movie was released. 2019 was the year for many fantastic movies and yet these days studios saved their Oscar baity movies by the end of the year. And since Rocketman was released in the summer, Taron was seriously facing some tough competition against movies that came after that, one of them was definitely Joaquin Phoenix in Joker

@@MoejiiOsmanTV I bought a collection of his songs and this is by far one of my favorites to jam out to in my car, I feel so happy when I listen to it :)
"I'm Still Standing" was the perfect way to end this film, it showed that after everything Elton went through, the struggles, the torment, the ups and downs, then slowly recovering. After all of that, he's still standing, better than he ever did. Genius
My youngest nephew was born not long after I saw the film with my mother. He first heard "I'm Still Standing" in 2020, when Elton was shown on the TV singing the song at the piano, and he just started clapping his little hands together and bounced up and down in his highchair. That was the first time I'd seen him react like that to any music.
If you notice in the beginning, he's dressed like Satan/The Devil as well as singing "The Bitch is Back", and here Elton is dressed in all white like an Angel. He's finally accepted that his parents won't agree with who he is (being gay etc) but Elton also accepted that he is both Reginald Dwight AND Elton Hercules John as well as being clean when he sings "I'm Still Standing"
And thus ended the Taron Egerton Elton John trilogy *Sing*- taron egerton sings an elton john song (this one) *Kingsman 2*- taron egerton Saves Elton John *Rocket Man*- Taron Egerton IS Elton John
@@mitkel5426 Jesus Christ, who hurted you ? Being defensive about something like a movie shows how depressive/harmful a person can be. You're one of those persons. It's just 2 movies with the same songs. You can't argue with that. It's not about how bad or non-childish a movie is.
I'm sure many people noticed but for those who didn't, as he was divulging about his past he was slowly taking off pieces of that costume until he was wearing nothing but a robe, metaphorically shedding all of his barriers, as well as the facade that his theatrical personality was.
Amazing way to close a character arc... I was really was hoping that it will end with a concert, but i am glad that they made something More personal for Elton. 🙂
I saw this opening weekend and when the shot panned from current HDR+ to the original Panavision film from the early 80's, the crowd began clapping. I will be dumbfounded if this gets no Oscar.
xdmexican memes Ok so basically when Elton/Taron is singing in a slow tone in the white room the camera quality is the current, modern quality, but when the beat picks up and the it transitions outside, the camera quality goes back to the camera quality that was used in the 80s, when Elton was the age shown in this movie. Since this is the ending of the film, it was supposed to create senses of nostalgia from the early days of Elton to convey the feeling of happiness to end the movie off.
@@connorlove9149 What about Joaquin Phoenix? It's not because the guy has some pointers that he has to be present every time a movie is released. Some new blood is good, you know.
I had no idea what an absolute hero Elton John was until I saw this film. I thought he was just that cool singer and pianist who wore crazy clothing. His story is so damn inspirational.
This scene touched me so much. Three years ago, after watching Sing, I decided to join my country's local talent show, singing I'm Still Standing because I related to Johnny so much. Then yesterday I went to see Rocketman, in the same theatre/cinema in which the talent show was held. First of all, I am not having a good time at all, I'm struggling with mental issues and social anxiety. When this scene came out I almost cried, and at some point I had the impression Taron looked at me in the eye, with his face that said "I'm proud of you", while singing that song. MY song. Like he perfectly knew what I did in that stage even though he isn't even aware of my existence. It was one of the best experiences ever. If I ever got the chance to see him, I would hug him tight and thank him so much for what he did for me.
Good for ya bud. Hope ya meet him, Also Keep singing. Cause you made it sound like your a good singer so rooting for ya. - A random Guy from the internet
By far the BEST scene in the entire film. The song is much more powerful after knowing whats he's been through and considering its at the end of the movie, it makes it even more powerful.
I want to thank this movie for helping me I was 200 lbs and had tired for years to improve my weight and this scene as well as the yellow brick road scene taught me just accept you have a problem and face it I’m now in the 170lb range and I’m working out and eating healthy thank you Taron for this scene that helped me so much I’m still standing now and forever
The fact that some people still don't believe the music video is the original, just with Taron pasted in and Elton taken out, amazes me. i mean, you can literally see a 20 something Bruno Tonioli dancing near Taron!
It's funny you should say that. I wasn't sure if it was the original or if they had re-filmed it. Knowing that Bruno was in it when he was very young, I looked for him. Once I saw him, I knew that they had digitally placed the actor in the original music video.
William Darkhölme I remember being on the theatre and this scene really got me. I’ve rewatched this scene many many times at home and I get me every times I love love the way it’s acted and the way he sings it’s perfect. I think it’s perfect until he opens the door. Instead of having like a music video moment on the beach. I would have use that moment to show the highlights of his life like: doing the soundtrack for the lion king, getting kids, getting knighted, etc. I feel to have all those beautiful epic moment with the show I’m still standing would have had a bigger message and impact. Things will get better.
@@devijohnson2404 well, yes and no. Bohemian Rhapsody finished off grand and epic, but it was a little rushed (biopic continuity was all over the place in that film). With Rocketman, the time we get to this point of the film, we feel like he has redeemed himself as both a person and a character. Bohemian Rhapsody, even though quite colourful, it was a black and white representation of Freddie, which made the ending seems "fine" at best, while with Rocketman, we see Elton go through heartbreak and torment throughout his entire life, without holding back. Showing him in a colourful, obscured world, having to see him go through drugs, alcoholism and sex addiction, then coming out pure and free. But by the end of the day, Rocketman gets the +1 up on Bohemian Rhapsody as it was rated R and was a musical/ fantasy based film (which would've been a better fit for someone like Freddie Mercury).
No! Me too! I just like how Taron emphasises every "I'm still standing" lyric differently, Eltons version he doesn't do that it sounds a bit plainer, this one is more energetic, but obviously we should respect the original still! But I understand I love this one more too.
No not at all, these version ar bastly different, this sounds more like a "redemption song" like you go from a dark path to a better one, thats why I think this version feels more engaiging than the original. We shall never forget that without Elton none of this would exist in the first place.
You could never know what it's like Your blood like winter freezes just like ice And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use And did you think this fool could never win Well look at me, I'm coming back again I got a taste of love in a simple way And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah Once I never could hope to win You starting down the road leaving me again The threats you made were meant to cut me down And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now You know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
From singing it in the movie Sing, saving Elton John in Kingsman movie to finally become Elton John in a movie. Life came full circle for him. So happy for him!
As someone who’s struggled with mental health self harmed, attempted suicide twice this song has a lot of meaning for me and I always think of this song when I think of the dark times in my life. I’m still standing 💪🏾
Taron Egertson did an amazing job playing Elton John!! For anyone who hasn't seen this movie yet I would highly recommend it. It was so good, start to finish:)
My favorite scene from any film this year. So memorable and powerful and a nice nod to Elton for overcoming his drug problem. Also love how in the beginning he comes in the rehab center with dark colors and horns showing his negativity then at the end comes out with white colors showing he is clean.
This movie amd Elton's music has helped me get through a very rough year. A break up, academic problems. Mental health problems. The death of my uncle. The death of my grandfather. Its been rough but i got through it and yeah im still standing better than I ever did 😊😊😊😊❤
I remember when I first started listening to Elton in 1970 and just missed meeting him whilst he was touring Western Australia in 1971..., and became a HUGE part of my life in 73' and 74'..., especially with Crocodile Rock and Benny and the Jets. Here I am now turning 65 and STILL loving his music..., thank you Sir Elton John. 😍🤩
I love how it shows how hesitant he was at continuing on with his life, taking the first steps in a new direction then building on himself which is what I'm going through right now, but yes the beginning of this video does make me cry a little with hopes of things getting better and hopefully uplifting in the near future, so yes it does give me a little hope
I just went through a really tough breakup I honestly didn’t want to do but I had to for my own health. I found this song after briefly remembering it, this is helping me through it massively. It makes me remember that even though she abused and manipulated me I’m still standing.
How in the world Taron didn’t even get an Academy Award nomination for “Best Actor” will always be a mystery… I also think this is absolutely the best “biopic” movie based on a singer, I like how surprisingly mature it is
They make it seem like this was the very moment Elton got sober, when in reality, he got blackout drunk with Duran Duran after the video shoot, and trashed the place. He walked in and asked "What happened?" and his personal assistant replied with: "You happened!"
thatonedrewguy i was thinking the same thing. But tbh, the whole movie takes so much creative license i dont really consider it a proper biopic anyway. Its better to just treat it like fiction.
Duran Duran came out in '83. This came out in 2019, right? 2019 from 2000 would be 19 years. Then from 1991 to 2000 would be another 9 years which makes 28. So he must have gotten sober around 1991 or so way after Duran Duran first came around.
I'll never forget the Story my Dad tells me that shows truly how humble and kind Elton is. My Dad used to work for Disney and he was an early Director for "Gnomeo and Juliet" before it was passed to another Director and Dad started on a different project. While he was on the project though he and my Mom, whom had Breast Cancer, got to see Elton John at a concert in Las Vegas and had dinner with him and his partner afterward. Mom and Dad had a great time at the Concert but it was the Dinner that was extra special. Elton saw my Mom with her fragility and loss of hair and understood what she was going through. So when everyone was taking their seats around the table he made sure he sat next to her and he had many conversations with her and made sure she was comfortable. When Mom and Dad came back they told the story and she says it was one of the best nights she ever experienced. She passed away a year later. It was hard to go through but I'm happy that Elton was able to give her and the rest of us a lasting memory that she was treated like royalty by Elton John himself. If I ever get to meet him myself, I would tell him that story and tell him thank you for giving our family that gift.
I feel like the energy of this last song is a love letter from Taron to Elton’s overcoming of his addictions (save for shopping) and triumph of finding happiness and peace. And I love it. 🥰
In this part I literally screamed, cried, and clapped I loved that they added this song to the ending. I also woke up my parents and got in trouble. What did I learn? Even when things are like a unstoppable nightmare there is always victory! And also not to watch amazing movies at night when you're parents are sleeping.
I'm in rehab rn and we put this movie on the other night...I never got into Elton John but I LOVED the movie and now I'm obsessed...this song hit hard 😭❤️
Some Musicians, artists, and entertainers sour after to much time in the lime light. Mostly due to things we never see. Elton never did. He almost burnt out but he came back shining brighter than ever.
I loved this version. But it took me a while as to why I love this version so much. It’s because the way they portray it into the crescendo is the true meaning of this classic of how Elton overcame his demons and survived (or still “standing”) after all of it. Great cover to a great song and a great movie.
When I saw the movie, my friend and I were sitting in the back..We hardly sat down for the fast songs and sang every song..I think Taron Egerton did an amazing job and for sure made Elton John proud...
I'm so happy Sir Elton John and Bernie were still alive to see this amazing biopic of their achievements and how they inspired millions of people, in and out of the music industry
The notes on the piano are: -B flat with F Then a octave or two higher B flat with D -B flat with G then a octave or two higher B flat with E flat -C with F then a octave or two higher A with C -B flat with F Then a octave or two higher B flat with D Or for more excitement you can play the full chords with both hands which are B flat major: Bflat D F E flat major: Bflat Eflat G F major: A C F B flat major: Bflat D F You’re welcome, also if it is incorrect let me know!
I love the acting in this. Taron pours all he's got into those lyrics. But did everyone just skip that they added him into the original music video like it's nothing? Incredible ending

@@misspriss2482 they pasted taro s body into the original 16mm music video from the early 80s
I thought so.
And somehow it works.
Best ending ever.
William Darkhölme I remember being on the theatre and this scene really got me. I’ve rewatched this scene many many times at home and I get me every times I love love the way it’s acted and the way he sings it’s perfect. I think it’s perfect until he opens the door. Instead of having like a music video moment on the beach. I would have use that moment to show the highlights of his life like: doing the soundtrack for the lion king, getting kids, getting knighted, etc. I feel to have all those beautiful epic moment with the show I’m still standing would have had a bigger message and impact. Things will get better.
Bohemian Rhapsody ending was soooo much better
@@devijohnson2404 well, yes and no. Bohemian Rhapsody finished off grand and epic, but it was a little rushed (biopic continuity was all over the place in that film). With Rocketman, the time we get to this point of the film, we feel like he has redeemed himself as both a person and a character. Bohemian Rhapsody, even though quite colourful, it was a black and white representation of Freddie, which made the ending seems "fine" at best, while with Rocketman, we see Elton go through heartbreak and torment throughout his entire life, without holding back. Showing him in a colourful, obscured world, having to see him go through drugs, alcoholism and sex addiction, then coming out pure and free. But by the end of the day, Rocketman gets the +1 up on Bohemian Rhapsody as it was rated R and was a musical/ fantasy based film (which would've been a better fit for someone like Freddie Mercury).
@@devijohnson2404 NO way...
Is it a crime that I like this version better than the original Elton John version?
No! Me too! I just like how Taron emphasises every "I'm still standing" lyric differently, Eltons version he doesn't do that it sounds a bit plainer, this one is more energetic, but obviously we should respect the original still! But I understand I love this one more too.
I felt terrible to! Now I'm happy to see that I am not the only one!! 😂
I'm from the original video generation, but I love this version so much. Taron really got us, didn't he?
No not at all, these version ar bastly different, this sounds more like a "redemption song" like you go from a dark path to a better one, thats why I think this version feels more engaiging than the original.
We shall never forget that without Elton none of this would exist in the first place.
No, i like this version too
The way Taron sings "I'm still standing" in the hall it's like so fkn satisfying. I could here it a million times
Egerton deserved an Oscar for this role. He was robbed.
You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
And did you think this fool could never win
Well look at me, I'm coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
Once I never could hope to win
You starting down the road leaving me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now
You know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
thx u sooo much
Wow
oh man, Reid is probably getting egged everytime he leaves his fucking house since this movie came out.
Thanks for this; I'm still learning the lyrics and sometimes I mess up the words.
The man has been through so much, he chose to prove to everyone why he was great, instead of highlighting the negativity. Such an inspirational guy.
Taron's performance and vocals in this movie is just outstanding.
this was probably the best moment in the entire movie for me, and his acting just hit it's peak in this song
One of the most underrated performance of all time
The direction is so good. Every shot is designed soo well. Expecially the shot at 2:07. The close, intense view fits the lyrics.
I miss songs that don’t use autotune. This man just uses his pure voice and the flaws in his voice honestly compliments the song more
Taron Egerton basically sang this song this song twice, in two feature-length films. Dang, wow!
Don't know if we will have a third time. Maybe he sings it with other people along with him and not as a solo.
And used the original elton John music video which is amazing how they imposed tarons body into the 80s music video
From singing it in the movie Sing, saving Elton John in Kingsman movie to finally become Elton John in a movie. Life came full circle for him.
So happy for him!
As someone who’s struggled with mental health self harmed, attempted suicide twice this song has a lot of meaning for me and I always think of this song when I think of the dark times in my life. I’m still standing 💪🏾
This song is how I feel I have been through a dark time in my life when I just wanted to end it all and this song really gives me hope.
Taron Egertson did an amazing job playing Elton John!!
For anyone who hasn't seen this movie yet I would highly recommend it. It was so good, start to finish:)
I second that!
I took my cousin who's 11 and.. yeaaaa that was a mistake
@@imthegoldensun9186 😅🤣I know which scene you're talking about Isaac....
@@imthegoldensun9186 Whoops. Does she/he like Elton John's music or is she/he a fan of The Lion King?
I wonder if the fact that Taron also had I'm Still Standing as his climactic song in Sing helped his casting.
It certainly proved to everybody that he could do Elton if he wanted.
Could be, all I heared was that after recording Kingsman: The Golden Circle he was asked to play Elton Hercules John in the biopic/musical fantasy
Andrew Harding ¡Pensé lo mismo!
Actually - Matthew Vaughn came in as a producer of Rocketman and essentially brought Egerton in to replace Tom Hardy
@@admiralrooster I had assumed Dexter Fletcher had Taron in mind from the conception phase, since they've worked together before.
My favorite scene from any film this year. So memorable and powerful and a nice nod to Elton for overcoming his drug problem. Also love how in the beginning he comes in the rehab center with dark colors and horns showing his negativity then at the end comes out with white colors showing he is clean.
Singing Elton John
Meeting Elton John
Being Elton John
This movie amd Elton's music has helped me get through a very rough year. A break up, academic problems. Mental health problems. The death of my uncle. The death of my grandfather. Its been rough but i got through it and yeah im still standing better than I ever did 😊😊😊😊❤
Great!
1:49 when I heard this I was like wtf but then realized that it was to show Elton's journey of change from rehab onto his next single.
I love it.. he turned his pain and agony into a beautiful song and he got back up from drugs.
You know that's not how it happened in reality, right?
Sam Trotter Not exactly, no, but the statement still stands.
I remember when I first started listening to Elton in 1970 and just missed meeting him whilst he was touring Western Australia in 1971..., and became a HUGE part of my life in 73' and 74'..., especially with Crocodile Rock and Benny and the Jets. Here I am now turning 65 and STILL loving his music..., thank you Sir Elton John. 😍🤩
I love how they blended the original video and the new footage together so seamlessly!
I love how it shows how hesitant he was at continuing on with his life, taking the first steps in a new direction then building on himself which is what I'm going through right now, but yes the beginning of this video does make me cry a little with hopes of things getting better and hopefully uplifting in the near future, so yes it does give me a little hope
The, not one of, THE MOST POWERFUL moment is him striking that first note! A TRIUMPH and a show of how far he's come!
That expression of sheer determination and the smile forming when those first chords hit is such a beautiful subtle moment ❤️
Taron sang it all himself throughout the movie. What a talented guy! Great actor and performer
I just went through a really tough breakup I honestly didn’t want to do but I had to for my own health. I found this song after briefly remembering it, this is helping me through it massively. It makes me remember that even though she abused and manipulated me I’m still standing.
I'm so in love with Taron's voice it's ridiculous and this scene is my favorite!!
I watched Rocketman for the first time today, and man... It's a hell of movie!! I loved it so much!! Taron is perfect being Elton!
How in the world Taron didn’t even get an Academy Award nomination for “Best Actor” will always be a mystery…
I also think this is absolutely the best “biopic” movie based on a singer, I like how surprisingly mature it is
The build up is soooooooo good. It’s like he’s picking himself out of the rubble, dusting himself off, and carrying on. It really inspires me!
His mum was wrong. He is loved now, properly.
Two different versions of Im Still Standing from taron and im in love even more
With the original music video of elton John, taro s body is oatdd into the original.... Don't forget
Taron did such an amazing job singing Elton’s songs! I loved it!
Elton is honestly such an inspirational person, he's gone through so much and he's still standing
Director: how good can you sing taron
Taron: *Y E S*
Taron singing this song twice and they sound so different. The fact he can sing this song differently proves he is a great actor
Singing the same song in 2 different ways has nothing to do with acting.
It's incredible seeing that even after the impossibly low lows, Elton was still able to be truly happy by the end
Anyone else wondering how many takes it must’ve taken for Taron to grab the cane?
Actually he did that in one take
it not that fuckng hard
Airsoft da Zueira
im just kidding
What an original comment
Jack go fuck yourself.
No words can even explain how much I love this film best film of 2019
wow Elton trained Eggy to sing after saving him from the virus
They make it seem like this was the very moment Elton got sober, when in reality, he got blackout drunk with Duran Duran after the video shoot, and trashed the place.
He walked in and asked "What happened?" and his personal assistant replied with: "You happened!"
thatonedrewguy i was thinking the same thing. But tbh, the whole movie takes so much creative license i dont really consider it a proper biopic anyway. Its better to just treat it like fiction.
Duran Duran came out in '83. This came out in 2019, right? 2019 from 2000 would be 19 years. Then from 1991 to 2000 would be another 9 years which makes 28. So he must have gotten sober around 1991 or so way after Duran Duran first came around.
I'll never forget the Story my Dad tells me that shows truly how humble and kind Elton is. My Dad used to work for Disney and he was an early Director for "Gnomeo and Juliet" before it was passed to another Director and Dad started on a different project. While he was on the project though he and my Mom, whom had Breast Cancer, got to see Elton John at a concert in Las Vegas and had dinner with him and his partner afterward. Mom and Dad had a great time at the Concert but it was the Dinner that was extra special. Elton saw my Mom with her fragility and loss of hair and understood what she was going through. So when everyone was taking their seats around the table he made sure he sat next to her and he had many conversations with her and made sure she was comfortable. When Mom and Dad came back they told the story and she says it was one of the best nights she ever experienced. She passed away a year later. It was hard to go through but I'm happy that Elton was able to give her and the rest of us a lasting memory that she was treated like royalty by Elton John himself. If I ever get to meet him myself, I would tell him that story and tell him thank you for giving our family that gift.
This song helped me get through A LOT of bullies man I’ll tell u that
Rocketman was a great, great movie. Taron Egerton did a REALLY good job playing Elton, one of my favorite musicians of all time.
He was robbed of this oscar
they managed to insert taron egerton into the original music video via visual effects but still made it convincing. mad props.
I feel like the energy of this last song is a love letter from Taron to Elton’s overcoming of his addictions (save for shopping) and triumph of finding happiness and peace. And I love it. 🥰
He deserved a Oscar for this movie.
He's one of my favorite actors.😃
The fact Taron wasn't even nominated for an Oscar let alone win it- is a travesty.
This scene only proves that Elton Hercules John is “Still Standing”😁
Amen brother
Well nahhhh
This film had me crying or on the verge of tears the whole time. This part had me full on crying joyful tears. So good!!!!
Loooove the rainbow hatband and pink sunglasses they added. We get it!
I like the blue glasses Elton is wearing at the end of the video, credits
In this part I literally screamed, cried, and clapped I loved that they added this song to the ending. I also woke up my parents and got in trouble. What did I learn? Even when things are like a unstoppable nightmare there is always victory! And also not to watch amazing movies at night when you're parents are sleeping.
I'm in rehab rn and we put this movie on the other night...I never got into Elton John but I LOVED the movie and now I'm obsessed...this song hit hard 😭❤️
Some Musicians, artists, and entertainers sour after to much time in the lime light. Mostly due to things we never see. Elton never did. He almost burnt out but he came back shining brighter than ever.
He saved Elton John
He sang Elton John
He Became Elton John
I loved this version. But it took me a while as to why I love this version so much. It’s because the way they portray it into the crescendo is the true meaning of this classic of how Elton overcame his demons and survived (or still “standing”) after all of it. Great cover to a great song and a great movie.
When I saw the movie, my friend and I were sitting in the back..We hardly sat down for the fast songs and sang every song..I think Taron Egerton did an amazing job and for sure made Elton John proud...
I'm so happy Sir Elton John and Bernie were still alive to see this amazing biopic of their achievements and how they inspired millions of people, in and out of the music industry
I fought meth , crack, weed, alcohol addiction but I'm still standing thank you God above. praise be to the heavenly creator GOD
Only the heavenly creator an allow our blessings
I can totally see this guy releasing a brand new album of his own, his voice is just so good
Dexter Fletcher and Taron Egerton packed the film with full energy from start to finish.
HOW HE DID NOT GET NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR? GSHSJSBSJ
I know right
Małgorzata Rumowska the movie came out too early.
@Adam Tatti it was a diversity nomination, film was crap
@@elektra81516 get out was great
The notes on the piano are:
-B flat with F Then a octave or two higher B flat with D
-B flat with G then a octave or two higher B flat with E flat
-C with F then a octave or two higher A with C
-B flat with F Then a octave or two higher B flat with D
Or for more excitement you can play the full chords with both hands which are
B flat major: Bflat D F
E flat major: Bflat Eflat G
F major: A C F
B flat major: Bflat D F
You’re welcome, also if it is incorrect let me know!
Humanity after the pandemic:
I love the acting in this. Taron pours all he's got into those lyrics. But did everyone just skip that they added him into the original music video like it's nothing? Incredible ending
