For my money, this is the very best Taupin/John song of all time. And that's sayin' somethin' lol. As a pro songwriter on staff with several Hollywood labels, I maybe see songs a bit differently than most... mainly seeing contrived phoniness meant to sell records. Maybe I'm jaded from knowing the unoriginal formulas in writing "hit pop songs," and I've been certainly guilty of this also. But 'Come Down in Time" is another animal, written by brilliant guys in their early 20s, writing from the soul, and combining weird and wonderful lyrics with an absolutely flawlessly fitting melody- that I know in my heart I could NEVER write!!
Thank you for your comments. I'm also going to add that this whole album is just brilliant, when both were and less jaded by the world at large, By far my most favorite album. Hell I was even a young man when this came out, or as my Son not never fails to let me know that I'm as old as dirt.
Thank U for these touching words ! Keep Rocking 🍀
@@didier3836 Wait a minute! This couldn't be Bernie... could it?! If it isn't, please just lie to me. That way I can dream I was momentarily in the presence of God : )
My favorite Elton John album...........................
Absolutely ! It is still # 1 on my list of all time great albums, even 50 years later.
Still listening to this beautiful song with my brother just like we did 50 years ago for the first time pat
Beautiful...☮️
Bernie Taupin should be recognized as a true poet and in a hundred years, when he's no longer with us, I hope people understand what he gave us.
Exactly right
100% agree!
Could not agree more!! I'm a musician and songwriter as well. And it simply amazes me how Bernie would write the lyrics, and then mail them to Elton and he would sit at his piano and write the song. Just simply amazing👍👍
Absolutely without a doubt his best album. His voice was at it's peak with Tumbleweed Connection.
I just happened to pop this CD into my car a half an hour ago. It's a good thing I was in the garage because this song always stops me dead in my tracks has done since the first time I heard it when I was in high school back in the 70s. He did his best stuff when it was him and Bernie Taupin.
Just fucking brilliant ... and to think how young they were, and all the brilliance that was yet to come!
I first heard this album when I was thirteen in the seventies. Emotionally devastating and so beautiful. The oboe is so haunting like unrequited love. Still makes this old man shiver and cry.
Me too
I agree. "Haunting" is the perfect word. I was in my mid 20s when this came out & can't count the number of times I sat in the dark listening to the entire album. CDIT was my favorite song of the bunch.
In 1976, as a sophomore, I was introduced to this song by a super cute 8th grader who lived only a block from my High School in F.O. and we played music in her bedroom for hours.
I wish I could remember her name...
Elton has one of the best voice in all music history .
If anyone has any doubt ... he has just to hear this amazing and timeless album . for me really l can't never stop to appreciate and love this fabulous singer .
Fiercely brilliant, haunting and evocative, Elton/Bernie at their absolute best.
timeless album by elton john ... just fabulous !!!
Every night this was on the turntable at uni. I would put the headphones on and play it over and over into the small hours. This was a very dark time for me after my father passed and I was alone in a basement apartment wondering how I was going to make it. I still have the album from 1975 and cherish it like a life vest that saved me from drowning. His best album in my book.
Just left school at 15 years old. Started work on the building sites. Elton and Bernie's words and music have been with me throughout my life. God Bless em.
Such and odd haunting melody , unforgettable song .
One of Elton John's best albums!
Absolutely brilliant. Brings back so many memories....good ones. All time favorite album of Sir Elton
IMHO, the finest Elton/Bernie song ever. So beautifully evocative. I wore out Tumbleweed Connection and had to, on a starving student's budget, buy another one.
I did as well. I bought a new turntable recently and Tumbleweed Connection was the first album I put on.
And thank you for posting this song and keeping it up. This is a rare gem of a song that even many Elton John fans have never heard👍👍
UR welcome! Glad U enjoy.
One of his greatest, if not his greatest song out of many many great ones. . .
Tumbleweed Connection is my favorite LP of Elton's.
Lyrics and melody combine to take you to a familiar, but strange place
I knew the Version Sting did on a Tribute album - and for some reason I just now heard the original - and I am just covered in goose-bumps! Amazing singing - full of longing and yearning! Incredible orchestration too!
My favorite Elton John song. It also has one of the greatest bass lines ever.
Have you heard Sting's version off of the two rooms tribute album? Just piano and also completely amazing👍
*ABSOLUTELY*
One of my favorite songs. My only complaint is it's just too short. I guess that's part of what makes it such a special tune. ♥️
A most beautiful ballad.... my favourite on the album
One of Sir Elton’s best. Thank you Elton John. One of my tops ever from very early times.
70s great decade of music.
This was when Elton John had a very fresh sound that was like nothing else. The acoustic string bass particularly brought out certain moods in this song, yet not necessarily in the jazz genre, fresh, clean, clear, quite an arrangement!
Very underrated song. Beautiful.
So beautiful.
This song and “Love Song” from TC are incredible.
Agree. Those are my two favorites from that album.
Amoreena is great to.
its the arrangement of this track that blows me away. So much thought and talent used to create a beautiful sound..........unlike the crap that gets peddled today.
This is an absolutely brilliant, beautiful song. After, "Your Song", it is my favorite Elton/Bernie song.
sublime. among the greatest ever written . Back in the 1970's there were composers that would take you to a snapshot of a emotion or a life experience. Elton, Jonie Mitchell, Harry Chapin,Jm Croce, Seals and Crofts Simon and Garfunkel, Carly Simon the list can grow. My point is this, they used their own pain and emotion to DRAW YOU INTO THE MOMENT. you were there with them. Universal life experiences that are captured in a song. A story, a shared experience. Aside from Lady Gaga I see songwriting is a bygone talent.
A beautiful song by Sir Elton. I actually wore out the album.
Me too!
Love his early inflection b4 he had his vocal surgery. His later voice is stronger but not as sweetly intense. But Love him either way....❤
Beautiful song..
A stunningly beautiful song; takes me back to a different time and place of pain and pleasure and a younger version of myself. Thanks for putting in the lyrics and visuals.
Cool. UR very welcome.
I have never heard this song before . Wow what a beautiful melody ! Watching it for the first time in 2019
Wow, that's amazing to hear, since I've known his music since the 70s! Glad U enjoy..... check out this lovely recent cover version ua-cam.com/video/nVMNTs8KpP8/v-deo.html
What a dreamy song.
HAUNTING
@@JohnDavis-nx8hh , I think that Sting did the tribute version.
Well done. Beautiful song and fun to sing to.
Wow! just wow!
Absolutely beautiful!
Genius to those who only possess a narrow window of what___________
Wow.
I'm reading his autobiography which came out in 2019, and as i progress i play each song he mentions and what he was going through at the time.
soulful, great,
favorite of all
nice song..great audio..ty
URW
Com Sting ficou melhor.
es hermosa pero la de Sting creo q es mejor
