my brother Daniel died almost 40years ago he was older than me and I can remember everything he was a loving brother he was only 15 years old when police and soldiers murdered him. I miss him so much I always listen to this song and cry.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 when I first hear this song I was shock. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 thank you mr Elton John 🙏 ❤😭😭😭😭
My name is Daniel, I joined the Air Force in 1974 (age 19) and was assigned in Spain in 1978, where I met and married my wife; 42 years later we’re still married. What makes this song so special, are the friends I left behind and how much they meant to me. Yes, I travel to Spain often and it’s the best place I’ve ever seen.
@@jacel987 Thank you .... there is also a very beautiful song, Italian, entitled "Daniela" .... if you know a female person you can dedicate this song .... the name of the Italian singer is Christian ... I know a lot of music, I can say that Italian music remains the most beautiful in the world ...ruclips.net/video/bBo7BF-dkbo/видео.html
My brother Daniel had a blood cancer and gets his treatment but he loss his battle and passed away on Christmas eve of 1983.. on the night before he was taken to the intensive care unit in the hospital, he kept whistling this song and asked my dad to sing with him.. I was in the other room can't bare to be in the room with him as he was asking how was Spain for travelling someday with him.. I know he's in a better place now.. we miss you big guy, always 💙❤
My son Daniel passed away 11/20/2021 and a friend of him played this song with a video of them two having fun, tears don't stop 😭 I miss you so much Son!
I lost my brother Daniel to cancer he was 23 and fought heavily. everytime I hear this song i immediately start to cry .. I love this song so much . I could give up a million things just to hear my brother voice again 💯💪
Today I came to listen to this song because I miss my very smart & quiet brother George who passed away after a 1 week illness. He had just married, and left a wife and a 3mths old son Continue to. RIP Bro.
My 38 yr old son just passed... he struggled with depression, bipolar2 & alcoholism - which led to cirrhosis. He gave up his battle 4 wks ago. He loved this song. ❤
@@danielwillis8167 I'm happy for you... prayers going out for you & gratitude for your blessings. I know he's no longer struggling...now the pain is only with those of us that are left here without him - but we'll be reunited one day.😌 Take care of yourself. 🙏 ❤️
My son Daniel died at birth. I wonder about the life he could have lived for 70 plus years like most people. I love this song but it's hard to listen too. I kept a candle lit for him for years, but eventually tried to move on. It was getting overwhelming. The mother still refuses to even say his name or talk about him. But it made me cherish my other son more, my god his life is so valuable to me.
My father's name was Daniel. I can hardly listen to this song without tears. My father Daniel was the love of my life, never be another man quite like him.
Having a son named Daniel myself, this beautiful song really stirs up some deep emotions. I cannot listen to it without tears flowing, and might add that the other song that brings on the emotions every time I hear it is "Danny Boy."
I was nine when my Uncle Dan passed away so I don't have a lot of memories, but I know all the stories my mother would share with me about her brother and they all come rushing back to me whenever I hear this song. I miss you, Uncle Dan, and can't wait to see you again when the Lord comes to take me home.
Love this song so much! It's one of those songs that just gets to you instantly once you hear the first couple of notes. Can't get enough of this masterpiece! Thank you Elton and Bernie! :)
I’ve heard this song so many times but never paid attention. My father Daniel passed on January 16, 2009, at 46 years old, and this song just brought me to tears. I am named after him. I love you dad and miss you so much ❤️
My father, Daniel passed away 19 years ago today (3/30/03) at the young age of just 41. I miss him every single day. I love you daddy ❤️ always will be your baby girl 🙏❤️❤️
Elton is so talented. Singing, writing etc and all his songs tell a story. He is amazing and at another level. When his kids grow up and begin to realize who their father is the will be very very proud.
My Grandpa’s named Daniel. He passed away almost 2 years ago. I still miss him sometimes. This song always makes me feel close to him. RIP Grandpa. Miss you. Hope you’re doing great up there. 👼
I just returned my friend Daniels call from earlier today. This song always reminded me of him when I first left my home many yrs. ago. Now I can talk to Daniel when I want because I now have his # again. So very happy he called.
Chained Photography by Karen I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad that this song will help you remember him, because it has always been one of my favourites. He's in a better place now.
I was a junior in high school when this song came out and just listening to it, takes me back to a beautiful time in life. Thank you Elton John. You make life beautiful now as it was then, just by listening to your voice and your piano playing and your songs. My wish is to see you in person. Love you always. A Fan, First and Forever.
The song hits the heart my name is Nina I always comment on certain songs and I'm here to say to you stay in Courage they usually say here today gone tomorrow it's here a second going to second hold on to your loved ones friends and family all over you never know when we're going to leave here God bless you take care
After the loss of my dad this year I have no immediate family left. This song just brings out soo much emotion. I Thank the LORD for his strength because I don't know where I would be now.
So sorry for your loss, Pat. God will always be by your side, you are never completely alone even though it seems like it. Just continue leaning on Him and someone will come along to bring some happiness to you. My only son is named Daniel, we are close and when he was in Bosnia and later in Iraq this song was always playing in the back of my mind. I never stopped worrying about him and now he's out of the military and in his mid=50's I still worry about him. Moms are silly that way, I guess. All the best to you and hope your will find some joy and happiness during the hard time for so many called Christmas.
@@loisaustin6200 Thank you Lois. If only everyone on the internet was as kind hearted to each other . I am a believer in the LORD JESUS and I have some wonderful friends from my church who have invited me to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with them. Thank you again Lois. Enjoy the time you have with your son and family. May God keep you close and close to him .
My Brother Daniel passed away 23 yrs ago. Today is his Birthday. Still... "Oh God I miss Daniel, lord I miss him so much" I am thankful for my time with him, and for this beautiful song that reminds me so much of him, and sums it all up in a couple lines. He was older than me.... I miss Daniel so much... Another year closer My brother.
I think we all have a Daniel, although perhaps by a different name, whose mention makes the pain of the loss almost unbearable. Thank you, Sir Elton, for putting into words and beautiful music what most of us can't bear to speak.
my brother died just two weeks ago. As a child I idolized him. His name was Jerry not Daniel and I have always loved this song. I never thought it would become so intensely personal. The song gives me a lot of comfort. He was at one with a Golden angel glowing all around him when I saw him last. This morning the angel told me Jerry has his hearing back and is playing music in an Angel Band.
My brother passed away almost 4 years ago, this song makes me feel like he's near, he was in the Marines and came home with ptsd, he was the most wonderful man I've ever had the pleasure of growing up with, he had a terrible life as a child, the Marines gave him meaning in his life but he died at age 39 of a massive heart attack, he was a role model for my son, my son is severely autistic but my bro got through to him, since his death my son still asks "Uncle Jo Jo please" I miss him more than any words could ever describe, he was one of a kind, I'd like to say thank you to my wonderful brother for his unconditional love to his family and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him and thank u to all of our men and women who are in the armed forces, you are ALL MY HERO'S!!!!! LOVE YOU MY BROTHER WHO WAS ALSO A FATHER, UNCLE, FRIEND AND A AMAZING PERSON, who would give his last penny, shirt off his back to those in need!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜
This song has so much meaning. My sons name was Jordan, he passed 8 years ago shortly after turning 22. His only brother, Cody has struggled and now plays his guitar and sings, because of him♥️
Just lost my brother Guilherme (37 year old), last week,(04/07/2017) this pain is killing me. I know this pain will never go away, but I'm sure he is always in our heart. Now he is a star in the face of the sky watching us.
My name is Nina I just read your comment please stay encouraged this song breaks me down also like I keep saying in the comments John Lennon of The Beatles imagine all the people and Michael Jackson song Gone Too Soon death is all around us and normally is here today gone tomorrow it's here a second going a second so grab and hold on to your loved ones tell him you love him cuz we never know when we going to leave here God bless you and may God keep you and keep us all may he rest in his bosom
Still a good song. The song is about the song writer's brother coming back from the Vietnam war with PTSD and not being able to live in his hometown with people always reminding him of the war. His brother left to start a new life in Spain, hoping to leave the ghosts of war behind.
Your exactly right..I listened to this song a million times before I learned the meaning. As a vietnam vet I can relate..Also had a best friend named Daniel who was found in his apartment dead from apparent heart attack.
God bless you for living through a horrible time in America's life. My cousin served in Nam and to this day will not discuss his experiences. The American people owe you and all the others who served a sincere apology and then a heartfelt thank you.
My mum named my brother after this song, he hasn't died like the other Daniel's on here, heavenly father bless their souls..... but i miss him as much! Living in different countries and stupid control lockdown laws keeping me from seeing him..... his 40th on the 28th of this month. I miss you so much, hopefully see you soon big bro! Xxx
"Lord, I miss Daniel..." my precious, 16 year old, only son. I miss you so Daniel Drake 💔 05/31/2000 - 10/10/ 2016. Until we meet again Sweet not an hour goes bye that I don't think of you.
When this song was a hit, I was 13. My mare, me heart horse, suffered a difficult delivery and her beautiful foal Daniel never drew a breath. God bless everyone who has lost a Daniel.
It was great and inspiring to read many of the comments and how one song has touched somany lives. I say music is a universal language. I too have lost my mom and my sister.
My Grandmother passed away when this song came out...i was 4yrs old&this song came on the radio as we sent My Mum off 2Glasgow, Scotland 4Her Mum's funeral😥 i couldn't ask 4a better Memory than this song💜💜💜
My brother's name is Ronald. This song always makes me think of him. He travelled a lot in the Air Force and Army. He was 10 years older than me. He passed 7/10/2016. I miss him so much!
I'm so sorry for your lost I'm just someone who always listens to this song also do is know Daniel in my family but I pray that in your well-being and this song always hits my heart God bless you brother and your brother Daniel and your sisters always have the song in your heart because it matters it has a lot of feelings I'm so glad that he made the song it makes me think of other family members who was Gone Too Soon God bless you
My Brother Danny lost his battle for cancer in 1999 at the young age of 31.. thank you for this song Elton john..it helps me cry the tears i have tried to cry for years... and to all you others who have love your Danny.. I think of you also....RIP DANNY BOY.
Stay strong and be encouraged I feel the same way I don't have a Daniel but it's other love lost especially in the world I would put this song to all the military people who have passed and going to soon that's what I think your song is about someone was in the military I'm just passed away so many ways that people are leaving here suicide and tends to be one of the biggest especially when it comes down to celebrities silk may God bless you and please stay encouraged the song makes me cry everytime I hear it
My dads name was Daniel. He died May 25th 2012. Miss him so so much. Named my son after him! My glorious toddler. This song is special. Just fir the name and nostalgic tune my dad liked. 🙏❤️
It's so sad, your loss is terrible tragedy. Losing a child is the worst thing that can happen to parents. I hope you are doing well and wish everything best for you and your family.
This song makes me think in One of the most important person who I met in my life. Even if his name was not Daniel but Peter . Rest in piece my dearest Doctor, You will always be in my heart, my soul and my mind... Peter you are a star in the face of the sky ❤
Listening to the American Top 40 and the a long distance dedication of a sister to her brother Daniel who never came back from Vietnam brought tears to my eyes..
I listen to this song when I miss my brother who is still alive, I feel sad because he lives far away and I don't talk to him much... Then I read this.... I feel fucking horrible, I am so sorry. Please accept my deepest condolences from the bottom of my heart mate.
This reminds of miy cousin Tanya, her parents and her moved to Canada and Tanya and me were never apart until that point. Cousins that may as well have been brother and sister. We have only seen each other once in the last 37yrs since but we mean the world to each other. We can't afford the travel costs but our bond will never be broken.
Yes everytime am.listening to this song .am .always teary eyes because I remember the love of my life who married with another woman So heartbreaking💔 I miss him so much❤️❤️❤️😥😥😥
My older brother Daniel passed away a little over a year ago. He committed suicide. This song is AMAZING. Brings tears to my eyes when I hear it...and goosebumps. I love you Dan.
He loves you too 💘 Imma 3 x suicide survivor and quadrapelegic vegetable without any motor skill functions left over from my hanging and coma. Love your life 🧬 and you will see your brother again 🙏❤️ Peace love and blessings to you and yours 🙏 Daniel
My cousin Daniel died on the 5th of January thay played this at his funeral today god it bought back some memory's he will by missed by all this who knew and loved him
I dedicate this to NKC Officer Daniel Vasquez, whom gave his life while protecting and serving the people. God bless his soul, his spirit, and family. May God shine honor upon him and bring blessings to all. Prayers, please. Thank you.
Love this song. As a Vietnam vet I felt the same way about trying to outrun the nightmares of war. Can't be done so I just deal with it. Never talk about it to anyone, most don't care anyway.
PTSD keeps me up most nights and for some reason this song makes me feel better..sorry for all the Daniels lost as I lost one also..Just a best friend but still?? Love the song after I found out the meaning..VIETNAM VETS THANKS FROM A BROTHER.
My big brother Danny (Daniel) passed away on November 18...9 days before my eighth birthday. I miss him to this day and I’m 14. This song is so powerful for me and holds the most special place in my heart.
I never lost a Daniel, i never knew someone working for military but everytime i sing this song, tears always start to drop. This song hits different. A masterpiece of Sir Elton John.
I had a friend named Daniel in high school! He actually saved a dance for me at our senior prom, and he told me the day after it that it was good to be my friend through high school and that he was praying for me and whatever God wants to do with my future. Now he is married, but I still think of him when I hear this song. He was even there for my dad’s funeral.
Evertime i listen to this song it makes good memories of the people i have lost in my life, people who i still love love with all my heart..rest in peace...
I love this song. I just read some of the comments and now I am crying. I am so sorry for all you people who lost sons husbands brothers and friends called Daniel. I lost contact with my best friend Daniel after moving to another country. well to be honest it happend some time before that. So I feel like I am Daniel even though its his name :)
While I have always liked this song, seven months ago it gained a whole new meaning for me. While on vacation I made a great new friend named Daniel, and he has turned out to be one of the best friends I ever had. Though I saw him in October, and I will see him again in May, I truly miss him every day. Here’s to you my brother, 9 1/2 weeks to go🥃
It's actually a tribute song to Viet Nam Vets based on a friend that lost his eyesight in Viet Nam. The whole story is on another you tube video with Rosie O'Donnell, I think.
When this song was released in 1973 I was 7 years old, and I had a friend the same age named Daniel. This song always reminded me of him all those years ago. Unfortunetly he died 3 years ago at the age of 47 from complications brought on by diabetes. At one point he was my step-brother, and we have known each other for 42 years. I had not seen him since 1989, or any of my step-brothers and sisters. I found one of his sisters on Facebook, and arranged to visit them last year after not seeing them for 25 years. As I visited them I found out through them that he had passed away, and also his other sister who died 10 years ago from the same complications. I miss him very much, and wish he was still around so I can talk to him. Daniel you are missed very much by your Mom Rita, Joe, Gloria, and Richard. and myself. You will always and forever remember you in our hearts. You in God's hands now and maybe some day we will see you again my brother.
I have an older sister named Kenisha who is 16 this year and she is doing a School Year Abroad program in Zaragoza, Spain and after we left the airport, this song was playing in the car now I play it every time I miss her
It really hits the heart doesn't it I'm just here to say stay in Courage my name is Nina I normally comment on songs may the Lord keep us in may the Lord bless us
Althought he had a different name this song recalls me my brother Antonio who passed away some years ago. God have you forever brother. Anyway all of us are going there.
Brenlee Lewallen. I have always felt the grief in this song and I heard it from the day of its release. Suicide is hard to embrace and it is possible that your heart still aches. As it should. It is hard to imagine a greater tragedy Namaste
My brother Daniel passed away 30 years ago, still missing him and while crying on his birthday this song came up on the radio. What a gift.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😰😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😥😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😓 it's hard 😭😭😭

My name is Daniel, I joined the Air Force in 1974 (age 19) and was assigned in Spain in 1978, where I met and married my wife; 42 years later we’re still married.

Missing my Brother in heaven his name Daniel.. 😭😭
So sorry
Same here. He just died this past Christmas
My son Daniel died at birth. I wonder about the life he could have lived for 70 plus years like most people. I love this song but it's hard to listen too. I kept a candle lit for him for years, but eventually tried to move on. It was getting overwhelming. The mother still refuses to even say his name or talk about him. But it made me cherish my other son more, my god his life is so valuable to me.
Best song ever. I'm 70 and still miss Daniel. Never forget.
man, he wrote some of the most memorable songs in history.
Bernie Taupin Writes the Lyrics and Elton Writes the Music. 💧
My father used to play this song every morning but he died some years back and I miss him so much.
My brother loved this song, when he passed, I requested this song at his funeral. I remember him with tears in my eyes, whenever I hear it.
Daniel my sons name. Every time i hear this song it reminds me he's 25 years old. Cherish the years . time goes by so fast. Love you son ! ❤
My father's name was Daniel. I can hardly listen to this song without tears. My father Daniel was the love of my life, never be another man quite like him.

A close older friend of mine, introduced me to this song on my birthday a few years ago. I cried like a kid.
Listen to the fuel version

This song takes me back some forty odd years. Listened to it with my uncle
Brings fond memories
I never thought I'd get over the sight of seeing my mother take her life. And then I listened to this song. Life is life.
Much love.
This is my son and we praise him with this song
My Brother Daniel passed away 23 yrs ago. Today is his Birthday.

He was older than me....
I miss Daniel so much...

Just lost my brother Guilherme (37 year old), last week,(04/07/2017) this pain is killing me. I know this pain will never go away, but I'm sure he is always in our heart. Now he is a star in the face of the sky watching us.

So sorry
Sorry kathleen
My name is Nina I just read your comment please stay encouraged this song breaks me down also like I keep saying in the comments John Lennon of The Beatles imagine all the people and Michael Jackson song Gone Too Soon death is all around us and normally is here today gone tomorrow it's here a second going a second so grab and hold on to your loved ones tell him you love him cuz we never know when we going to leave here God bless you and may God keep you and keep us all may he rest in his bosom
Daniel my son... You are a star that will shine forever in my family. We will never miss you!
Still a good song. The song is about the song writer's brother coming back from the Vietnam war with PTSD and not being able to live in his hometown with people always reminding him of the war. His brother left to start a new life in Spain, hoping to leave the ghosts of war behind.
patrick orourke pretty hard to be the same, actually imposible after you have been and seen so much...
Your exactly right..I listened to this song a million times before I learned the meaning. As a vietnam vet I can relate..Also had a best friend named Daniel who was found in his apartment dead from apparent heart attack.
Wow, have always wondered what it meant
God bless you for living through a horrible time in America's life. My cousin served in Nam and to this day will not discuss his experiences. The American people owe you and all the others who served a sincere apology and then a heartfelt thank you.
Thanks. I wondered what this song was about.
My mum named my brother after this song, he hasn't died like the other Daniel's on here, heavenly father bless their souls..... but i miss him as much!
Living in different countries and stupid control lockdown laws keeping me from seeing him..... his 40th on the 28th of this month. I miss you so much, hopefully see you soon big bro! Xxx
I just lost my brother Daniel. I miss him so much already. He's with God now. I hope to see him again someday. I love you brother.
"Lord, I miss Daniel..." my precious, 16 year old, only son. I miss you so Daniel Drake 💔 05/31/2000 - 10/10/ 2016. Until we meet again Sweet not an hour goes bye that I don't think of you.

😞
@@enderlanes aww, your sweet. Yes he is. He's hanging out with The Lord. I will see him again someday. Can't wait till that day.😘
@@jerroyu4812 😘🌼❤️
I felt the pain😞😥
I sing the chorus to this song to my son Daniel to this day because although he’s grown, he is my youngest and still my baby.
I think this was the first Elton I heard on the radio. It's one of my favorite Elton hits.
When this song was a hit, I was 13. My mare, me heart horse, suffered a difficult delivery and her beautiful foal Daniel never drew a breath. God bless everyone who has lost a Daniel.
It was great and inspiring to read many of the comments and how one song has touched somany lives. I say music is a universal language. I too have lost my mom and my sister.
I don't know any Daniels but y'all make me cry.
My Grandmother passed away when this song came out...i was 4yrs old&this song came on the radio as we sent My Mum off 2Glasgow, Scotland 4Her Mum's funeral😥 i couldn't ask 4a better Memory than this song💜💜💜
I dedicate this song to my Brother Daniel who passed away on February 11, 2018. He was the heart and soul of our Family.
My brother's name is Ronald. This song always makes me think of him. He travelled a lot in the Air Force and Army. He was 10 years older than me. He passed 7/10/2016. I miss him so much!
Back here to listen, 1 year since my brother Daniel passed away.

Friends are just a construction of society. This is about a brother's love.
I got you
My dads name was Daniel. He died May 25th 2012. Miss him so so much. Named my son after him! My glorious toddler. This song is special. Just fir the name and nostalgic tune my dad liked. 🙏❤️
This song was played at my fathers funeral and every time im down or miss him(which is everyday) i play this song.....i miss him more than anything.
This song is just soo beautiful! The lyrics, singing by Elton. It comes from the heart, and talks about the relationship between 2 brothers
I miss him so much my son Daniel who left us in 2013, rest in peace my beautiful boy who was only 5 love mummy xxx
It's so sad, your loss is terrible tragedy. Losing a child is the worst thing that can happen to parents. I hope you are doing well and wish everything best for you and your family.
@@babybabe7917 Thank you so much for your kind words x
❤️
😢😭😥
You will see him again one day.
my husband is daniel also he is 48 yrs old and still listening to this song he truly love this so much❤️
This song makes me think in One of the most important person who I met in my life. Even if his name was not Daniel but Peter . Rest in piece my dearest Doctor, You will always be in my heart, my soul and my mind... Peter you are a star in the face of the sky ❤
Listening to the American Top 40 and the a long distance dedication of a sister to her brother Daniel who never came back from Vietnam brought tears to my eyes..
Tonight I am missing my Son Daniel 1982-2012
Sorry to hear it. Good luck to you
I´m so sorry...
I listen to this song when I miss my brother who is still alive, I feel sad because he lives far away and I don't talk to him much... Then I read this.... I feel fucking horrible, I am so sorry. Please accept my deepest condolences from the bottom of my heart mate.
I'm so sorry about your loss of your son. Outliving your child is a terrible thing, It happened to me also. I wish you peace.
This reminds of miy cousin Tanya, her parents and her moved to Canada and Tanya and me were never apart until that point. Cousins that may as well have been brother and sister. We have only seen each other once in the last 37yrs since but we mean the world to each other. We can't afford the travel costs but our bond will never be broken.
Today is the anniversary of my brother Daniel s passing. I love and miss my little brother so very much. Xxx Ooo
Yes everytime am.listening to this song .am .always teary eyes because I remember the love of my life who married with another woman
So heartbreaking💔 I miss him so much❤️❤️❤️😥😥😥
My older brother Daniel passed away a little over a year ago. He committed suicide. This song is AMAZING. Brings tears to my eyes when I hear it...and goosebumps. I love you Dan.
I'm so sorry 😢
He loves you too 💘
Imma 3 x suicide survivor and quadrapelegic vegetable without any motor skill functions left over from my hanging and coma. Love your life 🧬 and you will see your brother again 🙏❤️
Peace love and blessings to you and yours 🙏 Daniel
My cousin Daniel died on the 5th of January thay played this at his funeral today god it bought back some memory's he will by missed by all this who knew and loved him
I dedicate this to NKC Officer Daniel Vasquez, whom gave his life while protecting and serving the people. God bless his soul, his spirit, and family. May God shine honor upon him and bring blessings to all. Prayers, please.
Thank you.
My son name is Daniel, i 'm keep practicing this song... almost done.. Thanks Elton.
Love this song. As a Vietnam vet I felt the same way about trying to outrun the nightmares of war. Can't be done so I just deal with it. Never talk about it to anyone, most don't care anyway.
I'm a vet. You can't talk to a civilian about what we've seen and done in war. They'd never understand!
❣
PTSD keeps me up most nights and for some reason this song makes me feel better..sorry for all the Daniels lost as I lost one also..Just a best friend but still?? Love the song after I found out the meaning..VIETNAM VETS THANKS FROM A BROTHER.
Nice
I feel teary hearing "Daniel" circa 1973 it was a hit in England. I was 18 and had my first trip to Spain,. Calella de la Costa for a whole week!
One of many great songs from Sir Elton John..
bro u old
hoping one day when I pass away someone will listen to this song and remember all about me.
My big brother Danny (Daniel) passed away on November 18...9 days before my eighth birthday. I miss him to this day and I’m 14. This song is so powerful for me and holds the most special place in my heart.
one of the greatest songs ever written
I never lost a Daniel, i never knew someone working for military but everytime i sing this song, tears always start to drop. This song hits different. A masterpiece of Sir Elton John.
What a beautiful song. I never get tired listening to this song
I had a friend named Daniel in high school! He actually saved a dance for me at our senior prom, and he told me the day after it that it was good to be my friend through high school and that he was praying for me and whatever God wants to do with my future. Now he is married, but I still think of him when I hear this song. He was even there for my dad’s funeral.
This song reminds me of my primary school sweetheart.. Johnny Hillary welimo. Passed on in 2008...I still weep whenever I listen to this song.
Evertime i listen to this song it makes good memories of the people i have lost in my life, people who i still love love with all my heart..rest in peace...
Makes me think of my brother Daniel who drowned just age 5.He's my Angel 💙💔
😢💔
🥺
God bless your brother 😥
😞 😨
I love this song. I just read some of the comments and now I am crying. I am so sorry for all you people who lost sons husbands brothers and friends called Daniel. I lost contact with my best friend Daniel after moving to another country. well to be honest it happend some time before that. So I feel like I am Daniel even though its his name :)
Ulrich Enevoldsen this happened to me 😭😭
Daniel my oldest brother just passed. Tears listening to this song. God i miss him so much.
Just lost one he was yonger than me older than the younger ones. Heart breaking. 3rd November 2023
Miss my Dad Daniel, looks like Dad, must be the clouds in my eyes
A few years ago I lost my youngest brother, Ron. He used to sing this to me, substituting Daniel for my name. You know, sometimes scars do heal.
Daniel makes me feel on top of the world GREAT MEMORIES OF MY LOVELY GRANDAD I MISS HIM SO MUCH n so glad my brother named his Son after him x
While I have always liked this song, seven months ago it gained a whole new meaning for me. While on vacation I made a great new friend named Daniel, and he has turned out to be one of the best friends I ever had. Though I saw him in October, and I will see him again in May, I truly miss him every day. Here’s to you my brother, 9 1/2 weeks to go🥃
Although this song is about someone named Daniel, when I listen to it I remember my brother whom died a year ago his name was Armando.
It's actually a tribute song to Viet Nam Vets based on a friend that lost his eyesight in Viet Nam. The whole story is on another you tube video with Rosie O'Donnell, I think.
what is the title of this movie?
When this song was released in 1973 I was 7 years old, and I had a friend the same age named Daniel. This song always reminded me of him all those years ago. Unfortunetly he died 3 years ago at the age of 47 from complications brought on by diabetes. At one point he was my step-brother, and we have known each other for 42 years.
I had not seen him since 1989, or any of my step-brothers and sisters. I found one of his sisters on Facebook, and arranged to visit them last year after not seeing them for 25 years. As I visited them I found out through them that he had passed away, and also his other sister who died 10 years ago from the same complications.
I miss him very much, and wish he was still around so I can talk to him. Daniel you are missed very much by your Mom Rita, Joe, Gloria, and Richard. and myself. You will always and forever remember you in our hearts. You in God's hands now and maybe some day we will see you again my brother.
Rey
Dawn Maria Reyes yes
My dad's name is Daniel, he was murdered while riding his motorbike in 1963. I grew up without my dad...how I miss him. Thanks for this 🎵!!
I have an older sister named Kenisha who is 16 this year and she is doing a School Year Abroad program in Zaragoza, Spain and after we left the airport, this song was playing in the car now I play it every time I miss her
It really hits the heart doesn't it I'm just here to say stay in Courage my name is Nina I normally comment on songs may the Lord keep us in may the Lord bless us
Althought he had a different name this song recalls me my brother Antonio who passed away some years ago.
God have you forever brother.
Anyway all of us are going there.
R.I.P uncle Daniel, i miss you more than anything rightnow, why did you have to take your life. I love you so so much ❤ Brenlee. 1985-2016
I miss
Wow
Very sad😢😭😢
Brenlee Lewallen. I have always felt the grief in this song and I heard it from the day of its release. Suicide is hard to embrace and it is possible that your heart still aches. As it should. It is hard to imagine a greater tragedy
Namaste
I'm so sorry for ur uncle
This song always brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. So beautiful
