Elton John writes all his music and Bernie Taupin writes the lyrics.
It's one of the best song writing duos of all time!!!
Yep.
Yep.
Thank you for saying that so calmly. A downside to these reactions is that these kids are so young and so literal and have nothing to go on. I tell them, Google it first. Please.
The greatest song writing team not named Gershwin.
Some of this needs to be in caps ... it seems people STILL don't get it !
Elton writes all the music and the melody his partner Bernie writes the lyrics Although sometimes Elton also writes lyrics. Him and Bernie are extremely close and are like family and have been working together since the beginning it’s a perfect partnership
Elton’s lyrics are awful. He’s freely admitted it a bunch of times. That’s why he has Bernie, a master poet. But yes it is a legendary partnership.
Your Song has some brilliant lyrics. I assume Bernie wrote those. 2-:
Elton John writes all the melody and Bernie Taupin is his lyricist.
They aren’t like family. That’s his love
Was just about to respond saying the same thing...thanks for getting to it first. :)
I cried my eyes out during Princess Diana’s funeral. She truly was England’s rose!
What a bunch of bollocks.
Never liked her
Princess of Wales- and she supported Wales at rugby, as her son William does.
@@TheZumph good for you
@@TheZumphnobody cares
It was a harrowing day. Seemed unreal. How Elton was able to sing under the circumstances was unbelievable. R.I.P Diana
As an ex Watford FC chairman he came to see Watford play the next day and Watford and Wycombe fans stood and applauded him for 5 minutes when he came into the directors box still gives me chills
Absolutely. It will forever be astonishing to me how Elton was able to perform while in immense emotional pain. Diana was like a sister to him.
As a Canadian, this all these years later still brings tears.
I've been feeling for the Canadians I've known, quite a bit in fact. A US resident, I feel it's a couple generations' difference though.
Doreen as an Australian, my eyes are FULL of tears watching this beautiful song!
I remember this day. This song makes me cry. You guys are doing a great job.
I feel Princess Diana is more popular here in Canada and the Commonwealth than in England. They're really crazy for King Charles over there and their PR machine is trying to diminish Diana's legend.
She worked to help children blown up by land mines, left behind during and after war. Brought attention to their plight. She was known for her charitable work.
That's what cost her her Life.
I cry every time I hear this version about Princess Diana. I loved her so much. She was a beautiful soul.
Everyone loved Princess Diana. The world mourned when she passed.
I remember watching him sing this live at the time, my grandma was sobbing.
I still cry when I see this.
Lol
I was crying too at the time
still cying when i see these.
I was sobbing,too!
I cried during the entire funeral. I’m in the USA but she was also our Princess. Such a tragedy! ❤❤❤😢
I remember this like it was yesterday. How he managed to get through it without breaking down I’ll never know. Beautiful!
Sometimes people can rise to greater heights when they have to perform under pressure. I've never heard Elton John's voice so pure outside of a studio
So true...
no argument here. Its as if the emotional magnitude of the moment leveled him up!
One of the things that this version of the song alludes to is the work that Princess Diana did with people who were living with HIV and AIDS at a time when it was highly stigmatized and when there were not yet effective treatments, but she wasn't afraid to be a visible face of compassion and kindness, raising awareness and also just providing the kindness of human touch to people who were highly ostracized and who might not have been touched by anyone else in quite a while because of the stigma of AIDS despite the fact that, by then, we clearly knew it couldn't be transmitted by touch. She also had many friends in the gay community, including Sir Elton John, George Michael, and Freddie Mercury. She was brave and bold and open-minded, just as she was loving and kind and generous. Princess Diana was much loved for a reason. And this song beautifully illustrates why people loved her so much. I was in London just a few weeks before she died, and I remember seeing "Di and Dodi" all over the tabloids everywhere we went, and it was the hounding of the paparazzi that led to the fatal crash that killed her. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard that news - spending the night at the house of a friend who had a computer and internet access (very rare at that time) because it was a football game weekend in Gainesville, FL, and I didn't want to be anywhere near campus until the game was over and I could get back to my dorm without having to park a mile away. He saw the news on his news feed that evening and came out to the living room where I was hanging out with some of our other friends and told us about it. It felt so unreal because she was so young and so loved. I'm crying even now watching this performance and remembering all that it meant and how beautiful a song and tribute it really is.
Beautifully said. She did indeed help the gay community in so many ways. 💜
He rewrote the words for princess diana, he was extremely close to diana, hes actually godfather to her sons, I cried all over again. RIP diana, beautiful soul.
Im from London. And was only 11 when our Lady Di’s funeral took place. My mum took me to Kensington palace on the day to lay some flowers 💐 let me tell you now, London completely ‘Stopped’ that day. Even as a kid I can remember the silence when this song was played
I was in London a week after Princess Diana's funeral and visited Buckingham Palace. It was my first time leaving the U.S. The gates and sidewalks surrounding the palace were filled with flowers, candles, notes, and pictures in tribute to Diana. I've never seen anything like it. Before returning to the U.S., I bought several copies of Elton John's single of Candle In The Wind with the alternative lyrics. Still have mine with the price tag in British pounds on the front.
Sure it was such a sight. I still have my three purple Princess Diana Beenie babies. You have such a treasure there 🕊️💗
Probably the most embarressing scenes i have ever winessed when Diana died
@@gavintimson5940what did you do?
Sir Elton loved Princess Diana. I don't know how he made it through this performance. He's a true professional and a very brave Knight.
I remember sobbing watching this live on tv back in 1997. I loved Diana ever since I was a girl. She was only a few years older than me.
This song takes me way back. I remember exactly were I was when I heard of Dianas death. It was one of those moments in life you never forget. RIP Diana.
Rest in Peace Princess Diana. She truly was an example of what nobility SHOULD be!! She was and will always be the people's princess, ALL the people's princess!
Elton John's performance here is emotional because Princess Diana was one of his closest personal friends, and they loved each other dearly. Elton went through a period of a few short years, during which his best friends died awfully. This includes the two men mentioned at the intro to this performance, fashion designer Gianni Versachi and then George Michael in 2016.
The original version of this song is gorgeously performed and produced. Elton's band in the early 1970s were three of the best ever backing vocalists of any band. Their harmonies added amazing power to Elton's melodies.
As you probably know but others may not, he was also a good friend of Freddie Mercury who died of AIDS, and John Lennon who like Versace was murdered. Elton's superb song Empty Garden was a tribute to Lennon.
Brad & Lex, you'll love his "Philadelphia Freedom", "Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding" and "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me!!!
Wow. As I sit here in London mourning our Queen, this brings it back. 😢 xx
Still eerie watching this year's later.. and now with Charles being the new king.. hits hard.. wonderful reaction..
The live performance Inside the Abbey for the Funeral of the Princess of Wales is better than the recording in my opinion. The way he sings it, the way he plays, it's different, much more intense and intriguing.
#RIPPrincessDiana ✨🙏
Um, this IS that performance
No way,but ok
Agree! I have Sir Elton's autobiography, and he said he only performed this song twice- first, at Princess Diana's funeral; then, immediately afterwards he went to the studio and recorded it. He said he'll never sing it again. The version we just saw is, IMO, the best. I wonder if he'll perform at the Queen's service- probably not.
@@dene39 that was his point.
Princess Diana passed Aug 31, 1997. The queen passed Sep 8, 2022...25 years, 1 week and 1 day after...at the age of 96. So when Diana passed, the queen was 71. Wow...
This performance was for Princess Diana.... He has a separate version, originally written and done for Marilyn Monroe....
Elton wrote the music of almost all his songs but lyrics were by his song-writing partner Bernie Taupin. Candle in the wind was originally written about Marilyn Monroe and is on the Goodbye yellow brick road album
This was a performance that always brings a tear to my eyes. Diana was such a special lady and Elton and Bernie really hit this one spot on.
I remember bawling when I first watched this. I will never forget the day we lost Princess Diana. Thank you for sharing
This song always gets me crying 😢 RIP Diana
Princess Di was known for going to poor, war torn countries to meet the children especially. She was something special, God Bless her...
BTW...that was George Michael walking behind Elton and his partner who was very close friends with Princess Diana. George actually put on a Concert of Hope for AIDS charities in partnership with Princess Diana and it is just fabulous. You should check it out.
I know this was very hard for him to sing, love this!!
Princess Diana championed many causes and communities. She had compassion and great love for those who were seeing their darkest days. She used her celebrity to promote causes worldwide from AIDS to call to action to diffuse mines left behind in war torn countries. She was not a perfect woman but she had a very good heart.
Elton John is one of the greatest musical geniuses of the 20th Century.
His best hits include:
"Tiny Dancer", " Levon", "Daniel", Rocket Man", " Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", "Sacrifice", Nikita", Burn Down The Mission", " Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word", "Mama Can't Buy You Love", " Island Girl" and literally countless others.
I call him the Mozart of The 20th Century.
Everytime I listen to this rendition of the song and to this specific version in the church im always thinkin he made that piano sing that day with him. He was feelin it so much that whatever he wanted to convey arrived all the way to heaven where she was finally resting. Princess Diana and Elthon had formed a brotherly bond, she was there for our community when a lot of people weren't; she advocated for us when most weren't at a very hard time for us; and we will never forget her for that either. Queen of England and Queen of Hearts on this earth and beyond.
HM Queen Elizabeth has been my Queen my whole life... I'm still in shock over the news of her death. Her life was exemplary, just impeccable. A lot of people criticized her at the time of Diana's death for not returning to London, opting to stay in Scotland with William and Harry - personally, I think she made the right choice. She was shielding her Grandchildren William and Harry from press intrusion. Our Queen was vilified for many things during that time, but some fail to realise that everything that happened during Diana's funeral happened because she said yes, signed it off and agreed to it (along with our now King Charles).
I feel like a lot of people misunderstand Her Late Majesty’s actions during that time. Yes, while she was Queen and had a duty to her people during a time of grief, she was also a grandmother and had a duty to her grandchildren during their time of grief. She chose to tend to her family first, as anyone would.
As stated below..Bernie usually wrote the lyrics and then would fax them to Elton... He would take the words, and go into his piano room, and usually would emerge within an hour with the complete song... He only had that magic with Bernie.. He had other writers, but never with the same success or great music... crazy. Great reaction.
Great timing with the queen laying in state today , with two miles of queuing to see the coffin
I don't know if anyone will remember this, but when this version first released, it actually became the best selling single of all time for a period. I don't know how long that record lasted, but I always thought that was interesting. Of course for Elton, I'm sure that didn't matter nearly as much as the importance of his getting to perform this for a dear friend and for all the people around the world that loved Diana so much.
EDIT: So apparently it is the best selling single since the charts began keeping track, but overall is only (technically) second to White Christmas, which was released about 8 years before the charts began. And it seems it has retained that title to this day, which is really amazing to think about.
Still makes me cry.
Elton was friends with Princess Diana so he really did feel it. That's why he was chosen to perform. God, that was such a sad time. She was a huge loss. The Queen and the palace reacted badly, not recognizing the pain of the British people, and the world, for several days. It brought about a change in how things are done. Was one of the times that the Queen made a mistake, a miscalculation. I'm sure there were others but I they don't come as easily to mind. In 70 years that's quite admirable.
I'm in England and I've been crying nearly a week and after watching the queen's coffin today this songs set me off again 😭😭
@Lauren Lewis Go and live in one.
@Lauren Lewis you ate entitled to your opinion WE do live in a democracy here in England but can you if its not to much trouble let people whom are very saddened let them have that at least for a few days. Then you can spout on about a Republic all you want love.....just saying respect at someone passing cost nothing whatever your beliefs are.
@Lauren Lewis so someone just said that theyre upset and your response is to be awful? im sure whoever raised you must be so happy, unless of course you were dragged up? were you?
wasn't an opinion, its was just being unnecessarily nasty to someone, she could have just said nothing or go fight with someone who wants it on the internet cos there's loads but she choose someone who said that it has heavily affected them
its gonna be ok chick x
The most amazing thing to me is that if you’re old enough (like me) to remember princess Diana, you’ll realize that every word of that song is an absolutely perfect description of her. Elton & Bernie literally re-wrote an iconic song in a matter of days (hours?) and every word is perfect. Blows my mind.
I dont think anyone will ever forget this. I was standing outside Westminster abbey when Elton John started singing how he kept it together is behond me just flawless.🇬🇧
And same here and the clapping was amazing sounded like whole of London clapping same time
I remember this service so well. So sad, but the song was so touching. Even now I tear up hearing this.
Oh, I almost suggested this song when I saw you guys reacting to the one he wrote for Marilyn Monroe! I’m glad someone else suggested it ❤️❤️❤️
Btw, I believe he did rewrite this song. He and Diana were very close. I don’t know how he kept his composure while he sang it. I remember watching this and crying my eyes out.
It's the same song,just altered
@@thomassamburgh5904 The words will come and the words will go... the music's notations stay constant. ;-)
@@scottcarr8738 I like that
It's ok, sorry for your sadness
It said right at the beginning that Bernie Taupin rewrote the lyrics for this occasion.
She was a princess and Angel of Mercy. Did not care who did not like it. She was in India. Africa. Taking care of the babies
I still cannot listen to this song without crying.
I was standing in the crowd outside of the Abbey. It was a truly spine tingling moment.
Elton was very close to George Michael. They were neighbours in England. Watch video of them both singinging “dont let the sun go down on me” sensational performance
People forget Princess Diana was a hero to the gay community for her outreach and personal efforts working with AIDS patients even before the disease was fully understood. She showed the world what real fearless compassion and understanding is.
George Michael also sang Elton's classic album track Tonight
I remember hearing about Princes Dianas death on the news, it was so shocking.
This was written for Princess Diana's funeral. Now it's for the late Queen Elizabeth, my heart goes out to England this week.
This this still gets me, our princess will never be forgotten
So glad you reacted to that one, thanks so much guys,
Such a sad day in our country Elton was a friend of Diana and did her proud..
🇬🇧 ✌
As Elton himself has said, "There would be no Elton John without Bernie Taupin". Thank God fate brought them together.
I still remember sitting up all night and the next day following her tragic accident, and the the funeral service days later. So very sad.
Great tribute! Thx!
You guys may not realise this. This was the most modern, most heartfelt 2 fingers to royal family.
Honestly the best reactors on RUclips!! ♥️ So open minded and genuine
I read about this just after it happened. Elton John was such a good friend of Princess Diana that he told people during that entire performance at the funeral he was on the verge of crying but he held it together. After he sang he walked into an adjoining room and broke down. Soon after he went to the studio and recorded the song and has never sang it since. Elton said he will never sing the Diana version again.
It’s so weird how you can remember certain days of your life. I clearly remember that Diana died on a Sunday and it was the first day of the football season. I was 12 at the time I’m 38 now I couldn’t tell you anything about any of the other Sunday’s of my life but I remember that one 26 years ago lol it’s mad how the memory works.
Elton John wrote most of his music, as in the instrumentals, somebody else wrote the words, sometimes people wrote lyrics that he then put to music, but he had a gift where he’d write the music in the space of about 20 minutes. Mad skills
as a English monarchist i had the pleasure of seeing Diana grow and become a beautiful and brave soul, most people outside the UK don't realise how powerful the monarchy is, her death is still a mystery, but such breath taking strength she flourished after her divorce from Charles, she was a truly amazing woman, RIP PRINCESS DIANA.
Saw this live on TV.. it was a heartbreaker
That was unbelievable, I remember it. Especially Earl Spencer's speech after it, Diana's brother. Magical day.
I was 8 when this came out. Only time I've ever become emotional
Elton John was the Princess's friend. She was such a kind person. I think the world grieved when she passed. My heart broke for her son's.
With Elton John writing the music and Bernie Taupin writing the lyrics to almost all of Elton John's songs, I think they are one of the best song writing pairs of all time. I saw Elton John in Honolulu in 1974 or 75. It was one of my favorite concerts of many I've been to since the late 60s. This performance for Queen Elizabth II was a very moving moment in time that I will remember. ✌❤
I had a paper doll(they were all the rage in the 80s for little kids) of her with all her fashions. I remember vividly the night she died. I stayed up all night watching the TV for updates and watched everything unfold through her funeral. It was honestly devastating. Seeing her boys have to walk behind their mother's coffin in such a public event at the ages they were...killed me. I have always related to Prince Harry - or Good King Harry as Diana called him - the most. I lost my mom much younger than he was when he lost his but as he's been more open and outspoken about his journey with grief in the last 10 or so years, I find I've traveled similar paths with grieving my mom. He wrote a children's book about grieving a parent years ago...I'm well past into my adulthood and it helped because the experience & loss happened so young. He's definitely his mother's son...and she would be so damn proud of him today.
Wow! You two have been on a roll with some revisits in the last few days. The world lost an angel when she died.
Elton John writes all the music Bernie Taupin writes the Lyrics a duo for over 40 years - magical collaboration
Watching this again brings all the memories flooding back to Diana. It seems so beautiful playing this song at such an emotional time with the death of Her Majesty The Queen. It brings tears to my eyes. It felt like a beautiful tribute to her Majesty.
Never forget that terrible night when the news came through in the early hours. I was on duty the patients were in tears. God bless her.
Wow. I wept when I saw him perform this live, and wept again watching this. No idea how he got through it.
So thankful I have been able to see this once of a lifetime kind of performer twice in my short, wonderful life. He is truly a master of his craft.
Bernie Taupin writes all the lyrics. Elton does the music. A great team since day one.
Elton does write his music...not many do but he does.
Dianna was a beautiful soul.. lovelovelove ❤️✌🏻🌸
If that is not the greatest live performance under extreme duress, I don't know what is? Breathtaking!
Elton sang a tribute to John Lennon called: "Empty Garden." Makes me cry every time. Give it a listen.
Brings tears to my eyes everytime, princess diana was what the royals needed to bring the entire earth together
Legendary. Rip Diana. Darling of England. Darling of UK
Sir Elton writes the music. I'm a big fan.
Taupin wrote the lyrics first and Elton put the music to the words.
That was their arrangement, andxa VERY,VERY,VERY successful one it was!
He’s a master composer of all his musical arrangements. Bernie wrote all the lyrics.
Brad & Lex
Elton is a co-writer of most of his songs. There is no 'team', normally just two people.
'Writing a song' is three main parts:
the words (lyrics)
the melody
the music & arrangement
Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics for this song
Elton then created the melody (how they are sung) and instrumentation.
i remember the day she died. i was in tears, she was a great person to so many people, she was loved by so many people!!!
One of Elton's finest performances.
This song means so much to many of us brits. Princess Diana was the ‘Princess of the people’ 🇬🇧
Of course, there are lots of famous duos who write songs together, but it's usually the performer who is better known and garnishes most of the adulation. There's story told by Ira Gershwin about being approached by a person who told him that he must be so proud of his composer brother George because of the song "Summertime", and Ira pointed out that he, Ira, wrote half the song i.e. the lyrics.
Still amazed about that moment. That was live on TV in the whole wide world.
Very beautiful, he and Diana were great friends. I love Elton but mostly his ballads. I like Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Someone Saved My Life Tonight.
JESUS!! What an absolute throwback this was for me! It's like the "New memory unlocked" meme. I was 11 years old when Princess Diana died, I still vividly remember waking up at some ungodly hour and for whatever reason I went downstairs, my dad had been working night shifts and fell asleep with the news on. I remember having to walk through the living room to get into the kitchen and the news of the accident being on the TV. It was a Sunday morning I think, or maybe a Saturday? I remember I wasn't at school. Anyway, the whole thing was HUGE in the UK, perhaps it's initial impact was much more widely felt than the death of Her Majesty The Queen due to the circumstances being a car accident, rather than old age as it was with The Queen being 96, you know?
Random fact, my dad was able to meet The Queen once at Buckingham Palace while receiving a medal, and I've met both Prince Philip and Prince Harry
pretty sure it was a Sunday. I was visiting my folks with my wife. we were there for dinner, when the news came about. We wound up glued to the TV for the next several hours, and mom in tears.
I remember being a kid and seeing the highly publicized and televised wedding to Charles. We watched that too.
Elton said early on Bernie would hand him pages of lyrics and he'd go in studio and read and write the music on his piano.
WHAT A TEAM!! 🤩❤
Sooooo much good stuff!!
Want y'all to hear "Madman Across the Water" please!! 👍🏽
Elton and Bernie collaborations throughout the years has been that Bernie writes the lyrics and before email, he would fax them to Elton. They never lived near each other and rarley saw each other. Elton would then go to his piano and write the music. Sometimes in only an hour. Pretty special.
a little fact for you when it was released as a single(all money went to charity)its the fastest selling single of all time nearly 6 mil on the opening day alone
What a beautiful remake of a classic
And, yesterday, William and his brother walking after the Queen’s coffin reminded him so much of he and his brother walking behind their mum’s/Diana’s coffin.
