In my opinion, the early years of Elton John are his best. Magical compositions.
YES! before 1992.... but the 70´s are his BEST!
Thanks for listening to this song. One of my favorites. Always made me cry as a young teenage girl. America history...look up the Trail of Tears and the history of Geronimo. A native American tribal cheif.😢❤💔
Don't forget "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee".
I am VERY grateful that you two chose to do this song! To me it shows how strong and unique the songwriting partnership is and was with Elton John and Bernie Taupin. Bernie would give Elton his handwritten lyrics and Elton would sit down at the piano with them and come up with incredible music for them!
Such an awesome song/album. Please remember that Bernie Taupin wrote all the earlier Elton lyrics. And growing up, Bernie was enamored by the American cowboy, and by osmosis, the native Americans. He loved stories of the American west, and the peoples who populated that swath of the U. S. in books and on film. You’ll find another example in the songs, Texas Love Song, and Roy Rodgers. He writes cinematic songs. The string arrangement by Paul Buckmaster is reminiscent of the old american cowboy movies
Dominika, I believe the word you were searching for is youthful “angst” to describe some of EJs vocal quality.
Very well said my friend.
American history! It is what it is. But shouldn’t be forgotten ❤
This album is perfect, every single note is perfect, its my favorite Elton John album by far. Can't wait till you get to the song "Rotten Peaches".
Brilliant Track i always love your reviews.👍👍i have followed his career from 1970 when i was 11 years old so i just love all his music as he changed with the times👍👍
His best song in my opinion ever and the best album he has released - every track is amazing.
The complexity of the lyrics and music of this song is amazing. I'm in love with it. You should try some of the live versions, especially the one on the Greek's theater (1994). Thank you for this great reaction. I hope you react to more Elton John in the future.
SOUNDS TO ME LIKE SHE'S LOVINGGGG HER SOME ELTON ANDREI, YESSSSS! :) I LOVE IT
Early Elton is the best. This song has moved me for 50 or so years. I recommend this to every reactor I watch and not one has done it.
Early Elton John is the best. His voice was even different back then than it was during the 80s, 90s and so on.
intelligent lyrics with musical understanding.
THIS WAS MY FIRST ELTON ALBUM I LOVED IT THEN I STILL LOVE TODAY !!!!!!
You ask how Americans felt about this music when it first came out. I am descended from the first English settlers to arrive on this continent and I was swooning over the indignation expressed in this song particularly. I had just recently read the book Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee and my young heart bled with shame for deeds in which my ancestors were indirectly implicated. I am still deeply moved by this song and other B. Taupin compositions, such as Burn Down the Mission. If it were in power to do so I would take back my people’s history and recreate a nation wrought in cooperation with the first people of this hemisphere. But I cannot do that, so I can only do my small part toward redeeming my family’s complicated past. And, yes, I loved EJ’s first two albums and lost interest in his later work.
LOVE this old Elton John!!!
Amazing writing great musical arrangement and the bueti of ayoung voice
This entire album is fantastic,no pun intended. I went through a few cassettes over a few years of listening all the time. It's a true masterpiece. "Holiday Inn" is beautiful concept of being on the road as a band.😎
I live in Oklahoma, where much of the tragedy happened. In 1970’s listening to this album is how I learned about the history of many of the indigenous people. Not in school. 😢
WELL HE JUST A MERE 24 AT THIS ALBUM YOU GUYS! :) BORN IN 47, THIS WAS IN 71
I am American, and this is my favorite song, album, and period of Elton John. The story is sadly based on real injustices, foisted on our native population by Europeans, largely from Elton's own country. He too may feel being-pain. It always moves me. Hear also Jesse Colin Young's haunting and beautiful "Before You Came"...on the same theme. Similar feels.
Also on this album is the great "Madman Across the Water" (which he was to us). Another moving and profound song by him is called "Ticking", from his Caribou album. It is about a so-called ticking timebomb of a human, who goes apeshit and winds up "he danced in death like a marionette, on the vengeance of the law." And similar to that one is Harry Chapin's "Sniper", about a real event in our jaded history. Multumesc!
He moved more into the pop music realm as time went on.
The part you recognised was sampled in Tupac’s Ghetto Gospel.
The song is a story, not historical but it does use characters from different times in history and tribe names.
1970's Elton is the best!!!
The reason his songs are so different now is because he was putting music to Bernie's lyrics. Elton admittedly doesn't write well but his ability to score music onto another person's lyrics was phenomenal. It's a rare talent and he just happened to be perhaps the best. George Gershwin fans might not agree, though. He also had his voice then (in his early-mid 20s) and having Paul Buckmaster orchestrating also makes a huge difference. I highly recommend "Have Mercy On The Criminal" as your next reaction. If you look back at all of the really good songs in history, you'll find that they were written by people 20-25 yrs. old. Creative juices run high at that age.
This entire LP is excellent. This one and Honky Chateau are my two favorite Elton John LP's. His early stuff was pretty incredible. Thank you for sharing this one. 🙂 Oh, and the 70's in America was a high point for acknowledging/recognizing Native American rights. Google Marlon Brando refusing his 1973 best actor Oscar, and also the 1970 book I Buried My Heart At Wounded Knee. I'm sure Elton & Bernie were both fully aware of this at the time, and likely inspired to contribute to the cause by writing this song. You might also really enjoy the 1998 movie Smoke Signals. It's very good.
So much amazing amazing music from him and his songwriting partner Bernie Taupin.Hard to believe it’s the same guy as in his later years. Please listen to his song Empty Sky ✌️❤️
Bernie and Elton were a profoundly talented song writing team that most folks just aren’t aware of.
Another great song, earlier than this absolute masterpiece, but about the same issues is Indian Nation/Cherokee People by Paul Revere and the Raiders, lead vocal performed quite passionately by Mark Lindsey. You would really love it.
Great reaction. I totally agree. I really enjoyed Elton’s early stuff. Much less with his later music. His collaborations with Bernie Taupin produced his best music (in my opinion).
THERE'S SO SO MANYYYY PEOPLE SADLY ENOUGH :( THAT DON'T KNOW ANYTHINGGGG ABOUT EARLY ELTON STUFF ANDREI & DOMENIQUA :) NO OTHER BANDS HAD 7 STR8888 MULTI PLATINUM ALBUMS, 7 STRAIGHT BETWEEN ( 71-75 ) COMPLETELYYYY INSANE, LOTSAAAA RECORDING AND CREATING IN THAT 5 YEAR WINDOW, AMAZINGGG GUYS! :) AND I REALLYYYY LIKE HOW YOU GUYS AT ON THIS ALBUM DID THE COUPLE DEEP HIDDEN TRACKS AND NOT THE HITS, LOVE THAT FOR SURE!
Amazing song, naturally. Check out TICKING please. Last song on his CARIBOU album. It is a masterpiece that in largely unknown. ✌
Believe me, as an American, I feel that all of us should know our history. From slavery to the horrible genoside of the American Indian. We as a nation did it an we need to own it. I can only hope that we can learn to let the past go and never repeat it.
You need reacto to "Rocketman" and the Kate Bush´s cover....!
OOPS! AT LEAST ON THIS ALBUM :)
I am American and there's no reason for holding back on facts of what happened to the Native American Indians .. Johnny Cash - Bitter Tears: Ballads Of The American Indian ...Check that out if you get the time
Interesting thoughts about the topic. I'd say why not an englishman to re-tell the story, because most americans are still trying to avoid thinking about that genocide. or are too vapid to understand.
