    This was my divorce song. My ex and I made it almost 13 years together, until we both realized neither one of us could make it work. Agreeing to split with her destroyed me, but i knew damn well there'd be no future for either of us, so in that regard, it was "no sacrifice at all." Sometimes the right thing to do is the hardest thing of all. Thanks for playing this.

    It's amazing how long this gifted man has been at this...I'm 65 and remember hearing him back in the early 70s when I was 13 or so. That is before high school and now I'm retired and this man is still going. He has always been just a wonderful performer. I've been to so many concerts I've lost count in my days but to this day, I'd say for solo type acts, yes I know he has a band behind him, but he is mainly solo, his was the funnest and best solo concerts ever. We danced, cried and laughed and rocked...Elton John is simply a treasure....

    By far my most favourite Elton John song. So powerful. I cry every time I listen through this song (and I'm not exaggerating). It hits your emotions like a sledgehammer. This brings back very powerful emotions for me (and hurt). His voice is just outstanding. Compare this to most (often auto-tuned) vocalists today. There's just no comparison. This is all fantastic song writing, musicianship and pure talent. "Cold, cold heart. Hard done by you.". Tears dripping down my face. Thank you so much Amber and Jay for reviewing this.

    Elton’s “Candle in the Wind” (a song in tribute to Marilyn Monroe) was a big hit on his Yellow Brick Road album. When Princess Diana died, Elton changed the lyrics from “Goodbye Norma Jean” to “Goodbye England’s Rose”. It would be cool to review the songs back to back.

    Beautiful song. Growing up, Elton was my favorite singer/artist. I was fortunate to see him perform over 15 times, including at Dodgers Stadium, and his free concert in NY/ Central Park.
    I could recommend hundreds of his songs, but these three are special to me: "Where to now, St. Peter." "Blues for baby and me." And finally "Empty Garden," his and Bernie Taupins tribute to the Life and death of John Lennon, perhaps his closest friend, who he performed with at Madison Square Garden.
    You guys do a great job, discovering the music, I was honored to grow up with.

The 1st set, he performed solo, just he and the piano. The 2nd set, Percussionist Ray Cooper, joined him. These performances were incredible. So whether he played with his full band, or the 2 man gigs, he played, Elton John is one of the finest performers to ever grace a stage.

    Elton John has a simple rule when writing songs, if you're stuck or having a hard time coming up with something, write a hymn. Sacrifice is one of those songs. "Candle In the Wind", his tribute to Marilyn Monroe, was editing when he sang it at Princess Diana'f funeral. "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" is another great song in that genre. You can't go wrong with either of those.

    "Sacrifice" is an incredible addition to Elton's "latter-years" catalogue. It was on his 22nd studio album, 1989's Sleeping with the Past. Elton actually wasn't sure about including it on the album, but he decided to put it on there. It was a Top 20 single in the US, but initially, it stalled at #55 in the UK, where admittedly, Elton hadn't had much chart success in the couple of years prior to then. However, in 1990, a UK radio DJ was in America on business and heard "Sacrifice" on the radio. He decided to put it into heavy rotation on his UK radio show. A re-released version of "Sacrifice", sharing double-A-side status with "Healing Hands" (another great song from that album that is undeservedly given less credit than his bigger singles) went to #1, the first time Elton had reached the #1 spot on his own in his own country (as was previously mentioned, his only other UK #1 was "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" in 1976).
    "Sacrifice" was the start of a new venture for Elton: he committed to donating his personal royalties from sales that single, and all future UK singles, to fund AIDS research. This was before he had started the Elton John AIDS Foundation. He later pledged his royalties for US singles as well. Admittedly, I'm not sure how that pledge works nowadays, as physical singles barely sell anything anymore, and the idea of a "single" in the digital realm is frankly laughable, given that anyone can buy any song individually that they want to, but Elton also does tons of other work for AIDS that gives the Foundation plenty of other revenue streams.
    "Sacrifice" gave new life to Elton's career as a charting singles artist in 2021, when Australian duo P'Nau remixed "Sacrifice" and three other Elton John songs (1972's "Rocket Man", 1983's "Kiss the Bride", and an obscure 1976 album track from Blue Moves, "Where's the Shoorah?") into a new track, "Cold Heart", which Dua Lipa also sang on. "Cold Heart" was Elton's first UK #1 single since 2003's re-release of "Are You Ready for Love" (that song in and of itself has a fascinating chart history), and it was his first time on the US Top 40 Singles Chart since 1999's "Written in the Stars" with LeAnn Rimes, peaking in the Top 10 at #7, which was his highest US chart placing since "Candle in the Wind 1997".

    Elton john is amazing. He's currently on his "Farewell" tour. 300 venue's in total, and then he's retiring. Now on his 70s, he wants to spend more time with his family. I think he's earned that. "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" is a beautiful song by Elton, that I also think you would love. ❤🎵🎙🇬🇧

    Worked in a grocery store in early 90's and heard this song at least 4 times a day. Now you after that much and for 2 years you think I couldn't handle it. But let the truth be told, I was 19 then and 50 now and when I still hear this song it comforts me! Thanks Elton and Rob Squad!

  • @megster116
    @megster116 2 года назад +5

    I was waiting for you guys to do this one! It’s in my top 5 Elton songs! This is actually one of his favourites too. It’s sort of a bookend to Your Song; Your Song is more about the joy in the relationship, while this song is more about the end of one. How you might try, but it just doesn’t work and it’s not really anyones fault. Oh and when the daddy is dancing with his daughter in the end of the video?? 😭
    And Amber, your haircut is so cute!

  • @angelagoodwin5758

    @NmDPlm31 2 года назад +1

    Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters still reigns supreme and Elton says it’s one of his all time favorites. You need to do that one. And definitely do Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny), which he wrote for John Lennon after his death. There is a great live version of that from the Elton 60 Tour at Madison Square Garden in NYC that you can find, and he explains that he only ever sings that song when he plays MSG.
    And show some US love and do his Philadelphia Freedom on this coming 4th of July!! (And just as a fun aside, Hall & Oates did a cover version of that song for an album tribute to Elton John & Bernie Taupin.)

    This song is probably his 35th best tune. He's so good. Gotta do Philadelphia Freedom, Island Girl, Empty Garden, Someone Saved My Life Tonight, Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word, Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters. Just a few terrific EJ tunes.

    I’ve been an Elton fan since (nearly) the beginning, in the early 1970s. I’m not sure that I would rank this song among the top 20 Elton songs of all time. But it hits me in the gut every single time I hear it. For me, there were never truer words than “Some things look better, Baby, just passing through.”

    This is one of Elton's best songs and is very personal to me because it 's one of my grandpa's favorite songs. Actually, this song was played at a 50th wedding anniversary event for my grandparents in January 2000. I tear up every time I hear this beautiful song. Also, have they reviewed any of Billy Joel's songs? He's also amazing with the piano (beyond iconic) and has some beautiful ballads such as "She's Got A Way", "Always A Woman" and one of his later ballads "Downeastern Alexa", which I heard was about his daughter, whose name is Alexa.

    Iam a Huge Elton John fan. You've done several reactions but haven't even begun to touch on his awesomeness! Some more great songs to try that will give you more amazing vocals. Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word. Someone Saved my Life Tonight. Empty Garden(it's about John Lennon). Nakita, alot of people don't refer to that one much but it's great as well. Goodby Norma Jean(Marilyn Monroe ) then you have Candle in the Wind. Which is a retake on Norma Jean dedicated to Princess Diana. There is much more... Please keep reacting

    Elton made a number of appearances on the MUPPET SHOW, it really show cases his sense of humour. the costumes are outrageous and Elton singing with the muppets is hilarious , especially his duet with Miss Piggy( Don’t go breaking my heart).
