Well the fact that he survived after taking every possible drug and drink for decades, came clean and now is 73 years old and still going strong is mindblowing. Many of them died young, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Moon, Tommy Bolin and many more - so sad.
He wrote this song because he used to be a severe alcoholic and a drug addict, he stop drugs and alcohol and wrote this song to show that he survived though all that pain
Bought this one on my summer holiday in 1985. Recorded it to cassette and played it endlessly on my Sony Walkman while driving my bike. Still a classic!
This is a smashing FOREVER-STUCK-IN-MY-BRAIN song written by a real survivor, and this song defines him overcoming drug/alcohol abuse and bulimia , turning to find meaning and happiness on more solid ground. Elton - if any song - this is definitely "your song" !!
Funnily enough, when Bernie Taupin wrote this song, it was just about him moving on from an ex but both he and Elton have admitted the fans understanding of the song as above is much grander.
Today makes 3 years since I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer (and I’m fully recovered!). This was my victory song! I’m still standing and cancer picked the wrong chick! 🤙🏽
My grandma was there during the recording of the clip. She said he lost his diamond earring that day so Elton had the whole crew in a line searching in the sand in case they find it. They didnt. :P
After all that Elton has been through, he's still standing and will be 75 in March of 2022. Keep Standing, Elton. Your fans will always have your back.
After overcoming my alcoholism my pill addiction my depression and suicidal tendencies no song is ever spoken to me more than this beautiful piece of art
This song is perfect for anyone who has battled depression, ptsd, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. We are still standing. We are still here and we will keep going forward! Our illness won’t stop us!
I used to listen to this song everyday after my divorce during severe depression. This got me through until I reunited with my childhood friend who I married.
It's relevant to everyone who has been rejected in any way. All songs that speak to the soul will be played long after those who wrote and performed them have gone.

Watched it today and yeah it was very sad in parts. Guy came from a council estate and his talent got him where he is, it's sad his parents were too bigoted to appreciate him.
This song has almost become my anthem. After 8 years of a horribly abusive marriage I’m free and feeling better than I have in years. Yes, I am still here and standing!
@@bkpentaIts pretty much a musical , bohemian rhapsody was better. Just wished the movie touched on his life more, to how he got to his mental stage now.
Yes totally agree. Nothing from the time he was in rehab till now. But I still learned a lot of things I didn’t know about him. And yes Bohemian Rhapsody was better.
Rami Malek: Lip syncs songs and does an impersonation that feels hollow- wins Oscar Taron: Sings new arrangements and makes the role his own- deserves an Oscar
@Chasers I don’t think that Rami’s Freddie Mercury felt hollow at all. He put lots of emotions and thought into his character. Also, Freddie Mercury must’ve been a very hard roll to pull off as well as he did. Taron did do an amazing job as Elton John, and his singing was great. I think that Rami didn’t sing because well, he can’t, but I don’t think that they wanted it to be covers. I enjoyed Rocketman because of the fantasy element, but Bohemian Rhapsody was a little more realistic (minus getting some dates incorrect)
I was an early adopter for COVID in early 2020. While I was in the hospital and after being in a coma for 2.5 weeks, my wife heard this song on the radio and asked the nurses to play this for me every so often as part of my recovery, sort of a way to focus on getting better. I think it worked. Four years on I'M STILL STANDING!
Although it is about a breakup, the abusive nature if the relationship massively contributed to his addiction to multiple substances, so it is kinda about addiction. Plus it is an awesome power ballad.
This song will *still* be standing even if it dies and all its popularity goes away. This is such a legendary masterpiece. Keep up the great work, Elton John.
As corny as it may sound I play this when my depression gets bad. It's a great reminder that no matter what I'm going through, how bad it is, or how much it all still hurts... I'm still here! I'm alive, and things can and do change. I'm still standing! AKF
I poked fun at Elton and this video a while back. Truth is I love this song and after 2020 it finally meant something to me. We lost my mom in July and after nearly 25 years of hidden drug abuse it all came crashing down for me. I can no longer hide it and it feels amazing to be able to say that. I miss her so much but I’m still standing...some how

I mean, *REALLY!!* that guy could out party such Divine Party animals as Lemmy, Freddie, and/or Ozzy! (why else did the Prince of Darkness make an utterly *EPIC!!!* song w/THE Rocket Man after all..?)
This song is so powerful and relatable, I love it so much, it speaks to everyone of us who struggled in life but decided to fight for good times and never give up
@@matypete1 The video is super relatable. Stop laughing. I have depression and i'm getting bullied alot in school. Plus i can't imagine how much trauma and alot i've been through.
We all know that Elton has an INCREDIBLE body of work. He is an artistic phenomenon. I believe that this may be his BEST work! This song has more layers than an onion. It is deeper than it appears. And is the most universally relatable song he has ever written.
If it was on film, they just rescan the film at 4k. Sadly, this doesn't work for things shot on video. Old shows like The Andy Griffith show, Star Trek, etc., also benefit from this.
The reuploaded video was scanned with some of the original “water damaged” film back in 1983, digitally restored and up scaled to 4K resolution for the purpose of the movie “Rocketman”, which Taron Egerton was digitally inserted into the video. The rescanned original video also happens to be reuploaded on Elton’s channel, cause why not?
Cos film. A movie tape from 1940 - 1930 can easily be made 4k in matter of minutes. And if taken care of carefully. It never actually loses its quality.
lets not forget that he was also decapitated in one of the movies, stabbed and shot again a few times, and it took way too many movies to actually kill him.

I know this song isn't about addiction but i'm in recovery from drug addiction. This song takes on a whole new meaning for me
If memory serves, there was a time in his life when Elton John struggled from drug addiction. That may well be relevant, yes?
Although it is about a breakup, the abusive nature if the relationship massively contributed to his addiction to multiple substances, so it is kinda about addiction.
Plus it is an awesome power ballad.

I poked fun at Elton and this video a while back. Truth is I love this song and after 2020 it finally meant something to me. We lost my mom in July and after nearly 25 years of hidden drug abuse it all came crashing down for me. I can no longer hide it and it feels amazing to be able to say that. I miss her so much but I’m still standing...some how
Well done x
Keep going!
dont care didnt ask
@@Unc0luth get out then
Respect
after all this time.....I'M STILL STANDING
-Professor Elton

Deal.
People won’t be happy with me but who cares

@@polishcow3560 the trolls like him can be activated just by a single word like 'standing'
I remember the pain I went through when I worked in my internship as a researcher. Got a toxic supervisor and lab mates with same traits. Went through bullying, verbal and mental abuse, letting down on daily basis. But still I was able to get the results I wanted. Happily, I got rid of them and I’M STILL STANDING

Rasputin:
He died after he got shot btw

Filipino tribe warrior:
@@DatVehicleGuy First he was poisoned with cyanide, but dose was to small to be deadly, so they shot him in the stomach(not a fatal wound) and threw him in the basement, He woke up panicked and tried to escape and then got shot in the head killing him. His body was castrated, dismemebred and thrown in to a water and him dying only then is actually a myth, to make him look cooler.
I mean enough cyanide to kill 8 normal men aint deadly, damn I gotta try some
@@santiagorossi5166 Boney M, "Rasputin" - and let's face it..! They could have ~JUST~ as easily been singing about Sir Elton... I mean, *REALLY!!* that guy could out party such Divine Party animals as Lemmy, Freddie, and/or Ozzy! (why else did the Prince of Darkness make an utterly *EPIC!!!* song w/THE Rocket Man after all..?)
This song is so powerful and relatable, I love it so much, it speaks to everyone of us who struggled in life but decided to fight for good times and never give up
The song is relatable. The video… not so much 😂
@@matypete1 The video is super relatable. Stop laughing. I have depression and i'm getting bullied alot in school. Plus i can't imagine how much trauma and alot i've been through.
We all know that Elton has an INCREDIBLE body of work. He is an artistic phenomenon.
I believe that this may be his BEST work!
This song has more layers than an onion. It is deeper than it appears.
And is the most universally relatable song he has ever written.
@@tihomirlojpur9812 may i sugest a flamethrower for your bullys
Maybe this was my theme song when I was struggling against depression.
filmed in 1983
uploaded on RUclips in 2010
somehow is in 4k resolution
gotta love technology
If it was on film, they just rescan the film at 4k. Sadly, this doesn't work for things shot on video. Old shows like The Andy Griffith show, Star Trek, etc., also benefit from this.
The reuploaded video was scanned with some of the original “water damaged” film back in 1983, digitally restored and up scaled to 4K resolution for the purpose of the movie “Rocketman”, which Taron Egerton was digitally inserted into the video. The rescanned original video also happens to be reuploaded on Elton’s channel, cause why not?
Cos film. A movie tape from 1940 - 1930 can easily be made 4k in matter of minutes. And if taken care of carefully. It never actually loses its quality.
pewdiepie should take notes
Yes, but the quality it isn't true 4k
Who cares about the eras of music, this one is the banger of eternity 🔥

oof, im ded
@@JJ-zr1wf NoOoOoOo
According to Dr. Loomis, HE SHOT HIM SIX TIMES!
@@Sky-tf5io close enough
lets not forget that he was also decapitated in one of the movies, stabbed and shot again a few times, and it took way too many movies to actually kill him.

Best "come back" video ever. Hang on! He never went away!
Hugh Corston actually this was apparently recorded while he was still drugged out. Which makes it that much weirder.
didn't that belong to kim kardashian?
In reality Elton was still on the booze and drugs when he did “I’m still standing”
Robert Martin 👏
Sadly this was the early 80’s and Elton didn’t go to rehab till the 90’s, so this is not about his recovery and he was not sober :(

Isn't it amazing that in Sing Taron Egerton sang this song as Johnny and now he is playing Elton in Rocketman?
Yea !! I.wonder.if they signed him up for the role because of this song
Elton was in one of the kingsman movies, im sure that helped
@@garrettshepard3392 i could be wrong but i heard that elton was both im pressed with tarons sining and acting that he asked for him
@@ANippleCripple wheter it is correct or not i think he is perfect for the role
I knew that I was not the only one that thought that😆😆
