Crocodile Rock "had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own". The gold paint was Chevy Autumn Gold and I owned a hold 1962 Impala.Listened to Elton on a 8 track car tape player blasting with windows down
Saw his final concert in the states. Dodger Stadium was packed...He came out and performed non-stop for 3 hours...no opening act, no intermission...just BAM BAM BAM hit after hit after hit. There was still not enough time for all of his great music (Lion King, etc.) Fabulouso!!!!
My brother used to sing this song whenever I would get deployed in the Army.. I am Daniel.. lost my brother to liver cancer 5 years ago.. fly on my brother in heaven
Boa noite! Tudo bem? Elton John ! Não sei se você ler ....Se você soubesse o quanto sou seu fã...Me atenderia...Um dia quem sabe iremos nos ver....Mas, agradeço de coração...Você fez parte com suas canções da minha infância, juventude....Que ao ouvir...minhas lágrimas descem... Infelizmente,você parou de cantar...Mas, agradeço muito por tudo meu amigo e irmão... Gostaria muito de dar lhe um abraço... Deus te abençoe sempre...Onde quer que você esteja... Parabéns!!!
I lost my oldest daughter almost two years ago..all I do is listen to different sad songs until I ran into this song.for some reason I smiled when I heard it. The lyrics I can relate too ..Does this sound crazy??
I HAVE A GOOD FRIEND WHO COULD DANCE TO THIS SONG UP UNTIL HE GOT STABBED 47 TIMES HE LOST HIS ABILITY TO SPEAK EAT WALK AND DANCE I SAVED HIS LIFE ON 13/7/89 I HAD BEEN OUT OF SCHOOL A LITTLE OVER A MONTH HE STILL TEXTS ME AND WE HAVE A TEXTING WAR HE WINS HE IS THE FASTEST TEXTER HE CAN TEXT WITH HIS THUMBS
Same here! Usually a mix of Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Joel, Air Supply, The Bee Gee's etc! Every Saturday morning when it was time to clean the house! I'm mid 40's .... so this was early 80's for me. We still had the huge heavy wooden console stereo's at first, where the top opened up to reveal a turn table, am/fm tuner and 8 track player. Then they finally bought a Sony rack system with dual tape decks and they went to TOWN dubbing mix tapes from their hundreds of albums!
My Aunt Kathy adored Elton John. After her funeral back in November 2014 all of us cousins got together, got drunk, and blasted Elton. This is my favorite of his.
I saw him last week, and I'm sad it's over. He said up there in the microphone that in 50's, and 60's when he was growing up he thought that one day world will be a better place, but instead, it's now full of hatred, people killing each other etc. So he dedicated his next song "I Want Love" to all the victims of those horrible events in the last few years. And said that he still hopes because love is stronger than hate. What a man!
Mario Škof yes I agree. We need to spread love to all theses victims including police officers who have been killed due to faulty illegal immigration. Lord knows those families need much love and caring this time of year
What I love about this video is that what little movement Elton does is done so crisply with a lot of energy and passion that comes through in the song very well. He was 38 years old when he did this video and he stood out like a bright light among all those 20-something professional dancers without needing his 70s huge glasses and sequin suits.
He admitted that he is not a good dancer and the people choreographing his videos had to work to get him to try and not look so awkward lol Billy Joel had the same issue when he was filming his videos.
A youth here. Grew up with parents listening to these songs, and my mum with her parents listening to 40s and 50s and 60s music, but pat a cake pat a cake is my favorite, alsi john brown baby had a cold
Truly inspirational how Elton managed to clean up his act in the early 90s after countless years of heavy drug use. His 80s albums were patchy but they all included at least 3 or 4 gems. Sad Songs is a great one!
Don’t know about anyone else. But when I hear an EJ song. I say. This is my fave. Then I see the next. Say the same. Just too many heartfelt songs by this Genious.
One my favorite Elton songs.......... "Sad Songs (Say So Much)" Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain And ironing out the rough spots Is the hardest part when memories remain And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio `Cause from the lips of some old singer We can share the troubles we already know Turn them on, turn them on Turn on those sad songs When all hope is gone Why don't you tune in and turn them on They reach into your room Just feel their gentle touch When all hope is gone Sad songs say so much If someone else is suffering enough to write it down When every single word makes sense Then it's easier to have those songs around The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you and it feels so good to hurt so bad And suffer just enough to sing the blues Sad songs, they say Sad songs, they say Sad songs, they say Sad songs, they say so much
My binge. Rocket man, tiny dancer, don't let the sun go down on me, your song, candle in the wind, pinball wizard, Daniel, don't go breaking my heart. I'm still standing.......I don't think I've listened to enough:)
Dudes MASSIVE. He has talent the rest don't have. He has melodies the rest don't have. He holds his own. Not taking anything away from the rest, they all have theirs too.. Everyone has their place among musics greats.
Elton John has always been a champion of supporting and setting up new singers and bands. Can't honestly say I like any of them but I still admire his passion and support! As for Elton John's music, well it's the best pop music ever. I prefer his 70s albums but Lord, his 80s singles were all darn catchy and Sad Songs is one of his finest!
Lightner i agree, but his peak of peaks was '79 through '82... I'd be honored if some classic Elton John fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LEVON and ROCKET MAN on my YT channel in tribute to the masters of 20th century composition and lyrics (Elton and Bernie Taupin). Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
Music is truly magical. This song is up along with so many great old school songs. I don't even listen to today's music much, songs from generations before just sat it so much better. This definitely among my great classics list.
I was driving home from the market just and this came in the radio, and I started grooving to it. I like it. Never heard this by Elton. I'm sorry I hadn't til now. I really like it. Now, I'm about to play it while I shower.
I love all his music but this one is special❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂

Can certainly appreciate this man’s deep and varied catalogue of music over 4 decades! 🎉Bravo Sir Elton John!
even more decades of songs since his first release "Your Song" in 1970
Over 5
Elton has so many amazing songs, but there’s something about this one that I can’t stop listening to it time after time.
Same here and it did n’t even make it in the top 20 of his best songs when it was on TV about a decade ago.
That is a travesty.
Yes, although this was early/mid 90's
Tell my anout it!
Tell my about it!
OMG I LOVE THIS COMMENT it’s something about this song I swear I don’t ever get tired of it

Ohmygosh that must have been fantastic!!!
My brother used to sing this song whenever I would get deployed in the Army.. I am Daniel.. lost my brother to liver cancer 5 years ago.. fly on my brother in heaven
I'm so sorry, hugs
So sorry Daniel.

He may be gone but that’s a nice memory homie, cherish it 💛
Sorry for your loss 🙏

❤❤❤❤❤ Smiling after tragedy isn't crazy, it's a gift. I know my late mother smiles with me
I'm 32, and my mom used to play Elton John every Saturday & Sunday mornings before cleaning. It was a pleasant way to wake up.

People have so much in common and otherwise would never know it
I was walking through the grocery store the other day and this song came on. From 35 years ago, I still knew every word...
I hear it at work a lot
Love this tune. Every time I hear it I sing it all.

Durn right
I would be honored if my family did that for me after I passed. I would definitely request “Funeral for a Friend” be blasted
Your beloved aunt had good taste
Nobody's music takes me back to the 70's like Elton John.
I absolutely love his music.
Don't forget ABBA
😅😊😅
Elton peaked in his career with songs like this and Too Low for Zero for me was his last truly great album.

This song is a masterpiece. Elton is king
Dude put out so many bangers that when I hear a 70s/80s classic that I don't know who it is, half the time it's Elton John.
I feel the same way, him and Phil Collins, and Genesis
For a song about sad songs, this sure is a GLAD song!
Happy Birthday Sir Elton John !!
Esse cara na minha opinião é um dos maiores artistas cantores de todos os tempos...pena que não há uma renovação a altura desses gênios.
Concordo
Com certeza
well, like Kontra K said, sad chapter not ende von book.
Элтона невозможно превзойти
No hay ni va a ver quién iguale a estos genios de la musica son únicos inigualables

And said that he still hopes because love is stronger than hate. What a man!
He still believe in love, but as an intelligent, gifted man, he realizes that the world turned very worse along those years.
" Only the dead, have seen the end of war." Hmm, don't like it, pool your $, do something about it.
There are many of us who feel exactly that way.
Mario Škof yes I agree. We need to spread love to all theses victims including police officers who have been killed due to faulty illegal immigration. Lord knows those families need much love and caring this time of year
@Big Bubba u are a fool and if i knew hu u were and ur address i wuld slap u back to the 60s

@@shockinghobby2861 yeah maybe he does now, but ya know, a lifetime of fame eventually catches up to a person, and everyone ages differently.

He admitted that he is not a good dancer and the people choreographing his videos had to work to get him to try and not look so awkward lol

Such a great song , the feel is so uplifting and explains exactly how I've felt when I was mending a broken heart. Love this song

He sure plays a mean pinball.
I really love this song it makes whatever Im going through not that hard.
It's quite ironic that It's called sad songs and yet it's not sad It's catchy and cheerful
Elton John is such a legend
He's maybe trying to be heart-lifting with the lyrics... just a thought...
Bernie had one vision of the song and Elton had his. I love how it’s conflicting. They definitely made a good team making all this good music
It's an upbeat cheerful song about the excellence of sad songs
I thought he's just making fun of sad songs?
He's often done that, putting serious or sad lyrics to upbeat music, e.g. 'I think I'm Going To Kill Myself' or 'And The House Fell Down'.
Who's here in 2024 ? Elton John is legend 😍
I’m right here
Here, too.
A youth here. Grew up with parents listening to these songs, and my mum with her parents listening to 40s and 50s and 60s music, but pat a cake pat a cake is my favorite, alsi john brown baby had a cold
For mine the pinnacle of a brilliant career from a magical performer
Love the way he sings this song his vocals are so strong
From the heart.......
This gem had saw me through some hard times. It's partly why I am grateful that Sir Elton is around.
In a weird way this song always cheers me up! Is like the happy part of sadness!!
its heartfrlt
its heartfelt
Geiner Elizondo Sadness can be addictive 😉
Leopoldo Astudillo sure it is; I know dude!!!
Geiner Elizondo I agree with u there it is such a catchy song gets me motivated lol x
The tone of that piano and his voice together are just timeless!! ❤
One of the best Elton John songs I've ever listened to
Elton John is BRILLIANT !

His voice is like thunder, so booming and powerful.
Elton is one of the greatest in the world and his voice makes me smile love it
The Beatles and Sir Elton, Their Are NONE Better In MY Eyes !

Classic Elton John. He knows how to turn a sad song into a daily anthem
Don’t know about anyone else. But when I hear an EJ song. I say. This is my fave. Then I see the next. Say the same. Just too many heartfelt songs by this Genious.
Yep this one started with Philadelphia Freedom
Yeah , and it's the same with Freddie Mercury songs ! ! !
The message of this song resonates so much. I love how to the point it is about a real phenomenon.
Sir Elton John is such an amazing and outstanding artist his music is world class.Heart touching with awesome messages. Live long LEGEND .
Nobody will ever realize how true and great this song is until you're also hurting as bad...
It’s true. This song is a very soothing balm when feeling a certain amount of blue.
Yes it is...
That's the incredible power and beauty of music and lyrics like these.
I am right now
TRUE STORY DEFINITELY,I first heard this when I was in the middle of my divorce, 89, and the words just hit the mark like no other !
Just lost a dear friend of 30 years a couple of days ago… so freaking sad this is the only song that fits how I feel… R.I.P. my love
❤❤Take care.❤
So sorry to hear that.
So sorry 😢

Canta muito bem parabéns
reguardless.this mans music is timeless.talent of the ages Elton!
What a love song
One my favorite Elton songs..........
"Sad Songs (Say So Much)"
Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots
Is the hardest part when memories remain
And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio
`Cause from the lips of some old singer
We can share the troubles we already know
Turn them on, turn them on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on
They reach into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much
If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
When every single word makes sense
Then it's easier to have those songs around
The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
and it feels so good to hurt so bad
And suffer just enough to sing the blues
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say so much

Bra låt o mycket bra inspelning

@John Cordisco: What do you mean "forgot"? That album is from 1973. His adoration for the 1980-1985 albums doesn't exclude liking the 70s albums.
all his albums were great.
GRAMMAR PLEASE :-)
Turn on those sad songs?
Just love Elton John. He has entertained us for decades. A master and his music.
And the way he distorts his voice. In the chorus SAD. Awesome
Ive heard the song for years, just now realizing that Sir Elton John is the singer.
Are you serious, Sir?
We should always keep in mind what a strong force in music Elton John is..........
Dudes MASSIVE. He has talent the rest don't have. He has melodies the rest don't have. He holds his own. Not taking anything away from the rest, they all have theirs too.. Everyone has their place among musics greats.
