    This video has so many stories...stories of life...different lives with different outcomes...both happy and sad...and struggle...a microcosm of the daily experiences...some we understand, some we try to...we can only see a glimpse of each story...but we can feel the emotions of each...

    I was 16 when my grandma passed. I got a old 1970s record player from her. She used to turn it on and clean house every Sunday. She had Johnny cash, CCR, Eagles and a lot more records. One day after she passed I went to her house and opened up that old record player. I turned it on. I wandered. What was the last song she cleaned to? Before she got sick and passed away ya know? Tiny dancer. On a 45. I was 16 years old crying like a baby. But now it’s almost 4 years later and this song still gets to me. God damn I love Elton John.

      Yes it's everything...including Satanic. As I recall, Elton is on record saying witch language is in all his songs. In this song he puts down men of God, and talks about a woman who is IN HIM. That appears to be Satanic. It's called necromancy.

    Lyrics
    Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
    Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
    Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
    And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
    Jesus freaks out in the street
    Handing tickets out for God
    Turning back she just laughs
    The boulevard is not that bad
    Piano man he makes his stand
    In the auditorium
    Looking on she sings the songs
    The words she knows, the tune she hums
    But oh how it feels so real
    Lying here with no one near
    Only you and you can hear me
    When I say softly, slowly
    Hold me closer tiny dancer
    Count the headlights on the highway
    Lay me down in sheets of linen
    You had a busy day today
    Hold me closer tiny dancer
    Count the headlights on the highway
    Lay me down in sheets of linen
    You had a busy day today
    Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
    Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
    Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
    And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
    But oh how it feels so real
    Lying here with no one near
    Only you and you can hear me
    When I say softly, slowly
    Hold me closer tiny dancer
    Count the headlights on the highway
    Lay me down in sheets of linen
    You had a busy day today
    Hold me closer tiny dancer
    Count the headlights on the highway
    Lay me down in sheets of linen
    You had a busy day today

    This was my grandmother's favourite song to listen to. I would hear it whenever we would visit her. After a long 3 year battle with cancer, she sadly passed away. Her doctor only gave her 3 months. At her memorial, we played this song when we let her balloons go. But today, I was sitting in the car with my dad, and this song came on. We both just sat in silence. I only realised today that certain songs could hold onto some power without anyone knowing. I'll think about this for the rest of my life.

    My wonderful Nan, who I thought the absolute world of recently passed away, and this song immediately makes me think of her as soon as I hear it, and I can’t listen without welling up every time. It’s so happy & upbeat yet so painful and heartbreaking all at once, and this video captures that powerful emotion & feeling perfectly. 💜

    I'll never forget this song was used in a commercial for a hospital show and the song was used for a micro-preemie, where they had hope the baby would make it. I had given birth to our daughter about 2 weeks prior to this, and I bawled my eyes out as my daughter was a 2 lb/913 grams micro-preemie born at 26 weeks. The song helped renew my strength, as i made daily teips to the hospital to visit her and bring her milk. She will be 22 years old this year.

It didn't really hit me until I saw this video just how much I miss it, and how much this big, beautiful, crazy, wonderful city full of freaks and weirdos never made me feel unwelcome.

    That part with the woman at the liquor store was the part I related too. That was me after my father passed. 25 years sober and I wanted a drink so bad. So I just sat in my car and reflected. Never went in the store and still sober. This video in some way relates to all of us. I wish they would do this more with some of " the classics"

Last March I had 26 Year's sober off alcohol so watching her go through it my heart cry's out for her!! And for the best video of all time the award goes to Elton John and The groovy people of LA

This song always played on my playlist whenever I was spending time playing with her.This is Shakir's song.I miss her.

She waved and Elton waved back. She is now 22 and that is one of her favorite stories, she asks me to tell her friends and when we are alone I tell her she is my tiny dancer!!

    I cannot remember the last time any Music Video moved me as much as this one does. The song is a musical masterpiece that pairs as well with life in 2017 as it did in 1971. It is truly timeless.
    Bernie Taupin's lyrics seem to be inspired by the warm, wonderful, marvelously human uniqueness of the people in Los Angeles and this video does a terrific job of paying homage to that. Human spirit is a miraculous thing and it is on full display here. The characters in this video pull me into their lives and I feel a bond with them - the wonderful woman at the pawn shop, the girl with the urn, the addict at the liquor store.....wow, just wow. There are so many stories I would want to know about each of their lives, so many mysteries.
    (And, oh- if this song is any indication I'd say this Elton John guy is going to be quite a success someday.......)
