My mother made me grow up listening to Elton, paying me a quarter to dance with her at times. Today I am with her playing this music for her. It's hard, she has Lewy Body Dementia, and at the end so to speak. Playing this song, as she sleeps, she still has an essence of herself, because she is tapping her fingers and moving her feet to the song. Thank you Elton for all the great songs, incredibly dear memories with my mother. Your songs are like old friends and hugs around our hearts today.
I was already in my mid-20s when this song came out. I had a few extra dollars so I bought my young sister who was 15 this album. She's been gone for 13 years now and I'm in my seventies. I can't help but think of her and cry a little bit when I hear this. I miss her
I remember asking my older brother permission to listen to this double album on his stereo, 1974. Now, listening at the beach on my bluetooth speaker, 45 years later.
Amen! My dad had this album and I must have layed in the fireplace room and looked at the art and words one hundred times when I was a kid! Elton John, Queen, and Pink Floyd ALL bring back great memories of my dad-music is forever!
Saw Rocketman last night and my God. That opening scene has to be one of the best openers I have ever seen. Captures contrast perfectly. You see the majestic performer Elton and the broken man. So well done. Taron Egerton did a phenomenal job.
This. I fell in love with classics like the Ink Spots, Dean Martin, and other big band musicians through fallout. One of my biggest issues I heard most of the classic rock I love through radio when I was young. When I heard this again I instantly recognized it AND NEEDED TO FIND IT. I love refinding songs I used to love.
The album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is quite simply Elton and Bernie at the peak of their creative powers. All 17 tracks are masterpieces. This is one of the finest studio albums ever made with not one filler on the album. This album is the soundtrack not just of my adolescence but of my life. Long may they continue to make music !
Honestly I’m so happy that marvel is using these songs in their movies so kids can love these songs too. Guardians of the galaxy had some great songs from the 80s and they had redbone
They played this song on the radio when I was on my way to my cousin's funeral, which was so trippy because I'd never heard it on the radio before, in fact I had never heard it before and I almost cried because it touched my heart for some reason. Many things did those few days. Rest In Peace, Rachel. We miss you.
When I was a kid, me and my friend Kody used to go to his room and play his moms records. Mostly Elton John records, they were fun to sing along to, we would jump all over the place. We played baseball, football together, he was also at all my dirt bike races, he was my best friend since 3rd grade. We went on to high school, he was a bad ass at baseball, he had mad skills. I would have quit but he kept practicing with me, he made me good enough to keep it going, I was good enough to where we both had college interest. Senior year , we decided to focus on baseball, women and parties. That year was great, we both had the grades, college recruit would have been easy for both of us. Then I noticed he was being scouted by 2 pro teams, I was happy for him, it was all I could talk about. I noticed one day he had this look like a really bad feeling. There was a lot I didnt know about him, he was going to the doctor for depression, anxiety and he wasnt sleeping, he was also becoming more detached. Baseball was over, I had a few letters, he signed a pro contract ($750K 1yr guaranteed). It was almost end of the year, senior ditch day, we were at a lake having a good time, I stayed close to him, I kept finding him alone. He came up to me, it looked like he had snapped out of it, he wanted to swim out to this small area in the middle, it was a floating dock about 100 yards from shore, we did it all the time it was no big deal. 6 of us jumped in and swam over, I didnt see Kody. He wasnt with us, I swam back to shore, I looked everywhere for him, I knew where he was, I didnt say anything, I didnt scream or yell, it was already about 90 minutes since we had been looking for him. I jumped into my truck, went to a payphone down the road and called the police. They cleared us out, they found him, no alcohol, no drugs, he just drowned. To this day I do not watch baseball, I still have all my equipment but I never played again. I had a Ford F250 longbed 4x4 with a 10 inch lift, 44 tires. I went to a friends and borrowed his garage band sound system , I cleared it with his mom. After the funeral was over, everyone standing there, I cranked it and played all his favorite Elton John songs. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do, I could bearly stand. I remember everyone singing along with the songs, I didnt know they were that popular. I wish we had filmed all the goofy shit we did when we heard these songs. This was the last song I played for him, not one dry eye. Also found out he had one more present for me, he knocked up his girlfriend, yep, a boy.I am his godfather. The hardest part is looking at him and seeing the spitting image of Kody, and one hell of a baseball player.
this makes my heart hurt the most. i'm so sorry for your loss. i'm sure he's glad you shared his story for the people of the world. he'd be proud of you, i'm sure.
is Q the answer to my question? if so, i'm even more confused that b4 i asked my question. Does anyone know why verve92 said his/her quote? perhaps verve 92 can elucidate it 4 me. Thx verve92 or anyone who can shed light on this extremely unimportant matter, in the grand scheme of life.
By the way, what was your question? You shouldn't be that surprised, anyway. Remember 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything... So "Q" may easily be the answer to your question...
I am 57, first heard this when I was 9...and I just realized after seeing the lyrics, I have been singing this at the top of my lungs all these years--wrong! Oh well, enjoy and...thank you, Elton!
this song always makes me want to start crying.... This was my Dad's favorite song. He passed away this past March after he had a heart attack. We put this song in the slideshow at his memorial service. I know he would have loved it.
I first heard this song over 30 years ago, when I was just a kid. Never thought it'd be used in a Marvel trailer. It's not my favorite Elton John song, but it's still a great choice.
For my money, this is my favorite Elton John song. Actually, in my opinion, this entire album is easily the greatest thing he's ever done....and probably ever will. This song isn't just incredible from a melodic standpoint. It also has the distinction of having some of the most intricately impressive lyrics that Bernie Taupin ever wrote. I'm not sure if you've ever listened to the album in its entirety, but if not, I encourage you to check it out. 👍😊👍
@@techvidz4451 Yea also curious myself just wanting to know other's favorites. Personally as a kid my dad played older stations on the radio and Rocket Man came on while driving me to school sometimes so we'd sing it together. That would probably make it my favorite
"If the world were ending, I'd go wherever Elton John is. Listening to him play 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' while the world ended sounds perfect." - Patton Oswalt.
This was the song my uncle who was a father figure to me chose for his funeral. He was really young when he died. We tried our best to keep him alive but the crisis in Venezuela was terrible and we couldn't do much. Two years have gone by and I still cry listening to this song.
To me the thing that always stood out with Elton John is his way with melody and hooks. There's not a single line which is stale or bland or run of the mill. He squeezes real music out of every second of his songs.
I already infinitely loved this song as I have done for years like all of Elton's music, but to hear it in The Boys which is currently my favourite show made it even better!
@@emmaxuelhemmero2-past626 I like the show but did not like ending. Noir so easily killed 🤬 yet Maeve somehow almost as strong as Homelander?! Ironically Homelander as evil as he is prevails as best dad compared to others who despise their kids
I lost my Shih-Tzu dog yesterday, 10/11/2020, 1240pm. He was 13 years old. This was his favorite song. He'd come by the stereo and listen until it went off every single time I'd play it for him. God am I ever hurting right now...😪😪😪
Sending lots of love to you! Losing a pet is so very hard 😥 I have two dogs and my one dog is getting up there in age and just thinking about losing her...guts me. Hope you’re doing ok! 🌿
@@misspowers thank you so much for your response and kind words. I am doing so-so. I still wake up crying since it happened. I will be okay at some point, though. 🙂
I know how you feel I had a 15 year old cat January 4th 2020 it was early in the morning I just woken up he was inside my kitchen sink he was so stiff but he was alive I picked them up I tried to move them because I thought I don't didn't know what was going on and no more than five minutes past he was gone not a peep from him I sat there for like a half hour with him in my arms bawling my eyes out I had him for 15 years he got me through some very hard times I don't know what I'm going to do without him I've been doing

LYRYCS! When are you gonna come down? When are you going to land? I should have stayed on the farm I should have listened to my old man You know you can't hold me forever I didn't sign up with you I'm not a present for your friends to open This boy's too young to be singing, the blues So goodbye yellow brick road Where the dogs of society howl You can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plough Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny back toad Oh I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road What do you think you'll do then? I bet that'll shoot down your plane It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics To set you on your feet again Maybe you'll get a replacement There's plenty like me to be found Mongrels who ain't got a penny Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground So goodbye yellow brick road Where the dogs of society howl You can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plough Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny back toad Oh I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road PLEASE LIKE SO OTHERS CAN FIND THIS EASILY
This song is so sad for me. My uncle when he was 18 was in a car crash and sadly passed away but the friend that he was with survived it didnt hurt him any. The last words my beloved uncle said were,"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road". Every time I hear this song or think of it i crie. In didnt even get to meet him. Uncle Hubert I wish i could have met you but Ive heard so much good about you and cant WAIT to meet you! -love your neice, Serena{thankyou to whoever posted this!
Do y’all just feel the need to comment about your dead relative whenever you hear a good song? Because to be fair, no one cares until you brought it up.
This album means so much to me. I fought a long hard battle for my life in 2018. My mom passed in 2005 and this was album I remember listening to with her all the time. When I was sedated on a ventilator, this song stayed in my head. When I woke up it was the first song I wanted to hear. I swear it was my mom telling me she was with me, and to go back to where I needed to be. I found a pristine original pressing of this on vinyl last year and it's one of my most cherished records.
This song takes me back to time when I was a child and lived on my parents' farm, I used to listen to this song over and over again on top of a tree until the sun went down. there are things I can not live without, this song is one of them.
I was 18, me and my best friend Ricky Ranger (Rick White) went camping off the beaten path in California 1973. We were on leave from the Army and this song was on the radio. Ricky passed away, but that was one of the best times of my life camping in the California Mountains. I'll never forget it.
"Echoes" by Pink Floyd live at Pompeii might be the best "aah"s for me..... Also serious competition between Rammstein and Billy Eillish for the greatest "duh" 😂. Peace✌
This will always remind me of dancing around and singing with my mom when I was a kid. Thank God she raised me on the classics, and she still sings this to this day! She's going on 60.
Peter M The 70s are my favourite decade for music, but to claim that everything that came after it is shit is just wrong. So many great Rock, Metal, Punk, Pop, Hip Hop, Electronic bands have released stuff since then. From Kate Bush to Daft Punk, from Iron Maiden to Public Enemy, from Radiohead to Joanna Newsom, is there really nothing you like from after the 70s?
@@gerhardroither1695 This would possibly be my number on song.it’s hearting rendering.I feel happy and sad at the same time when listening.Yet I can’t really explain my deep love for this song,or the reason why.
Legend! I found out about Elton John thanks to my dad, and obviously I don’t regret that I paid attention to his work! Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is one of my favorite songs
I'd just like to dedicate this song in the memory of my good old friend Chris who would've been celebrating his 65th B-day on August 31st... This was not only 1 of our favorite songs, but an excellent album! God bless you sweetie, really miss you.
Minecraft Fan wow theres trolls and then theres you, i dont think ive seen a more fucked up comment on youtube. If you had any decency you'd delete your'e comment.
Back here just minutes after the Farewell From Dodger Stadium Concert, still can’t believe it’s over. The end of an era…we love you Elton, and wish you success with your family
This song was in my father's old loptop along with other golden age songs. What a masterpeace this was. Today i hold a funeral for that loptop. Rest in peace old freind.
Saw Rocketman with my daughter last night. We talked about not forgetting your roots. Return to the plough. Be true to yourself, as you heal your past.
This movie started so many great conversations with my mum. Stuff about how sexuality was hidden and how many rockstars used got drugs. You know a film's fantastic when it can still be entertaining 30 minutes after the credits roll
I'd be honored if some Elton John fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LEVON and ROCKET MAN on my YT channel in tribute to the masters of 20th century composition and lyrics (Elton and Bernie Taupin). Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
I absolutely ❤️ love Elton John, he’s got it going on still today. Back in the day when he sang all of these songs, that’s when I fell in love with him. I was young back then, now I’m 51 and I REALLY love these songs still. To me if a songwriter, singer had really good songs in the 1970’s and those songs are still popular today, that’s incredible talent!!
EJ Sutton I'm very sorry for your loss and may your father rest in peace but I'm just curious what do you mean they played it at his funeral? Did they play it in the church? I always see comments that say please play this at my funeral and they just make me wonder because I never heard songs played in a church at a funeral before. The mood is usually too solemn. Just wondering is all. My condolences and may your dad rest in peace. ✝️
There's 2 kinds of people. You either came here for nostalgia, or you came here after watching the Finale of The Boys season 3. Both of these parties can agree on something: This song is incredible.
Every time I hear this song It reminds me of Bad Kissingen, Germany at Daley Barracks back in 1975. Great memories. Still my favorite Elton John album. Thanks for the memories.
I was a baby when this song came out, and i never forgot since then. ELTON JOHN IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGERS OF ALL TIME!!! He has always been one my all time favorites, and this one of many great songs solidifies that….. Godbless you sir👊🏿✌🏿
*_"What do you think you'll do then_* *_I bet that'll shoot down your plane_* *_It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics_* *_To set you on your feet again"_* - Simply beautiful!
@@michaelunderhill8847 I agree.. The Comic version are always better.. But they did a great job with the show. But i like the version of BlackNoir being the clone Homelander better..
The music you heard in the grocery stores and (Target) was saving your life. This music was always there, we just had to prove ourselves worthy now to embrace it. You can’t kill the classics. I know I’am 53 and proud to be here to see it.
Elton John's retirement will hopefully be a peaceful one! He's given his fans a lifetime of music that have touched us emotionally or in a way of inspiration- a legacy that'll never be forgotten. #GoodbyeYellowbrickRoad
Elton and Bernies song about the perils of fame. You wish for it ,but when you get it you realise it's not how you imagined it. A wonderful song which holds beautiful memories for me. God bless you Elton and Bernie.
The fact that Bernie and Elton made it through this hard moment in their collaboration, and produced THIS gem of a song as a result... WOW. Takeaway: We can all get through whatever the fuck it is we're going through. (And lord knows we all are, am I right?) This is tragic. Gorgeous. Hopeful... Full of so much gratitude...
They played this song on the plane while I was traveling to my new work assignment 1,495 kilometers away from home. This song kinda made me emotional and brought me to tears while I was on the plane because of the thought I will be so far away from home. But then I again, I just focus on the great opportunity I was given and the thought that I may be able to give my family a bit of an easy life. So yeah... hanging on, for whatever the future may bring.
My mother made me grow up listening to Elton, paying me a quarter to dance with her at times.
Today I am with her playing this music for her. It's hard, she has Lewy Body Dementia, and at the end so to speak. Playing this song, as she sleeps, she still has an essence of herself, because she is tapping her fingers and moving her feet to the song. Thank you Elton for all the great songs, incredibly dear memories with my mother. Your songs are like old friends and hugs around our hearts today.

It’s 2024 and this song is STILL a masterpiece.
If you haven't already done so, listen to the rest of the album, pretty much every track is a classic

Elton John will never die even people from gen z are listening to him and the beetles etc (good music)
Hi
me ahaha because of angelina jordan version
I’m 17, Elton is a legend !
To me the thing that always stood out with Elton John is his way with melody and hooks. There's not a single line which is stale or bland or run of the mill. He squeezes real music out of every second of his songs.
Brilliantly put!
Bernie writes the lyrics,Elton the music..
One of the greatests songs EVER
I agree.
So do I.
I agree musical masterpeice
Yeeesss!
MasterNupus love you
Whether you discovered this from the boys, ant man trailer or just wanted to hear it, can we all agree that this is a masterpiece
You’re so lame
True
How about those that came from The Simpsons and The Muppet Show?
YES Said the heterosexual Woman.
That is true my dude. Does it give anyone the same vibes as For The Damaged Coda?
I already infinitely loved this song as I have done for years like all of Elton's music, but to hear it in The Boys which is currently my favourite show made it even better!
I'm here because of the boys
This song is such a classic I heard it so many times growing up. Of course I just heard it in 'The Boys'
@@emmaxuelhemmero2-past626 I like the show but did not like ending. Noir so easily killed 🤬 yet Maeve somehow almost as strong as Homelander?! Ironically Homelander as evil as he is prevails as best dad compared to others who despise their kids
Same!!! Now I can't unsee Soldier Boy being placed inside the capsule while Mallory is watching and, this song is in the background.

I lost my Shih-Tzu dog yesterday, 10/11/2020, 1240pm. He was 13 years old. This was his favorite song. He'd come by the stereo and listen until it went off every single time I'd play it for him. God am I ever hurting right now...😪😪😪
Sending lots of love to you! Losing a pet is so very hard 😥 I have two dogs and my one dog is getting up there in age and just thinking about losing her...guts me. Hope you’re doing ok! 🌿
@@misspowers thank you so much for your response and kind words. I am doing so-so. I still wake up crying since it happened. I will be okay at some point, though. 🙂
I know how you feel I had a 15 year old cat January 4th 2020 it was early in the morning I just woken up he was inside my kitchen sink he was so stiff but he was alive I picked them up I tried to move them because I thought I don't didn't know what was going on and no more than five minutes past he was gone not a peep from him I sat there for like a half hour with him in my arms bawling my eyes out I had him for 15 years he got me through some very hard times I don't know what I'm going to do without him I've been doing

@@supermelvinfell Why is it always Billy Joel???
@@Twitch760 because his mum used to listen to it all the time before she left him and his dad. Billy Joel reminds Hughie of her
They never left.
Where there was Elton John's song?
Here before this blows up again
This and can you feel the love tonight are two of my favourite songs
It didnt
Does anybody realize, this is one of his greatest of all time?
Try listening to the guy's entire canon or up to the early 80's at least when he was sawing off genius by the yard!
Hard to pick what his greatest ever is, Elton John is that amazing. Bernie Taupin too.
Yes it's since when I'm teenage ❤
LYRYCS!
When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing, the blues
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
What do you think you'll do then?
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
PLEASE LIKE SO OTHERS CAN FIND THIS EASILY

This song is so sad for me. My uncle when he was 18 was in a car crash and sadly passed away but the friend that he was with survived it didnt hurt him any. The last words my beloved uncle said were,"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road". Every time I hear this song or think of it i crie. In didnt even get to meet him.

damn :(
Do y’all just feel the need to comment about your dead relative whenever you hear a good song? Because to be fair, no one cares until you brought it up.
@tristanmarroquin102 you are a worthless individual
This album means so much to me. I fought a long hard battle for my life in 2018. My mom passed in 2005 and this was album I remember listening to with her all the time. When I was sedated on a ventilator, this song stayed in my head. When I woke up it was the first song I wanted to hear. I swear it was my mom telling me she was with me, and to go back to where I needed to be.
I found a pristine original pressing of this on vinyl last year and it's one of my most cherished records.
My mum passed away in 2012, and she loved this song, so every time I hear this, I think of her. Old songs always hold memories for us.
So sorry for your losses. I’m sure it’s not easy to go through something like that, but you are in my prayers.
One of the last album my brother Raul 💔😇 list to before he pass away 😢 miss him dearly 💙🎼🎶
My dad passed away in may and he always played this album when we were growing up it will always have a special place in my heart.
You left your son,Julian.his mom did'nt.but i like the message of your song.i admire you as a musician.may you rest eternally.
This song takes me back to time when I was a child and lived on my parents' farm, I used to listen to this song over and over again on top of a tree until the sun went down. there are things I can not live without, this song is one of them.
You should have stayed on the farm...You should have listened to your old man
Nice fake story dude
That sounds lovely

Biggest asshole i ever knew. Hahaaa !
I was 18, me and my best friend Ricky Ranger (Rick White) went camping off the beaten path in California 1973. We were on leave from the Army and this song was on the radio. Ricky passed away, but that was one of the best times of my life camping in the California Mountains. I'll never forget it.
Song heard countless times and still now right at this moment....Truly a masterpiece.

This will always remind me of dancing around and singing with my mom when I was a kid. Thank God she raised me on the classics, and she still sings this to this day! She's going on 60.
Un placer escuchar cómo sientes la música, gracias, bella interpretación
I was a little kid and i still remember the impact that song was!
just realised i was 6 years old😱😱😱😱
when I was kid I used to wonder why these singers cry, they must be crazy until i got married then I understood.
And to think that masterpieces like this were marketed to bubble gum popping teenyboppers. My God, what happened to our country?
I was 11 when I first heard this amazing song, glad my dad introduced it to me
@@pepperjack8 tell me why idd they cry
As a kid growing up in the 1970's, Elton John was all over the radio. Elton was to the 70's like Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna was to the 80's.
70s were better all the other stuff after is shit
enmaxus that's right
Peter M most is definitely there have been few exceptions !
Peter M The 70s are my favourite decade for music, but to claim that everything that came after it is shit is just wrong. So many great Rock, Metal, Punk, Pop, Hip Hop, Electronic bands have released stuff since then.
From Kate Bush to Daft Punk, from Iron Maiden to Public Enemy, from Radiohead to Joanna Newsom, is there really nothing you like from after the 70s?
@R0D, don't bother explaining. He lives confortably in a closed bubble. Nothing wrong with that I suppose, but I would rather live in your open world.
Who is here because of THE BOYS Episode 8? Salute Elton John for epic timeless music!
I am honestly convinced that this song releases and heals inner hurt and sorrow. Truly life changing in hard times♥️
This song is still a masterpiece in 2019
Agreed
Brasil aqui🇧🇷
Cuz they don’t make music like this anymore
Masterpieces will stand forever. The year doesn't matter.
it will always be a masterpiece ❤️
Each of Elton's songs is a unique brilliancy that never grow old.
One of eltons timeless classics a master piece
Ageed . . . You had to had read the Frank Oz books to know why Elton sings about choosing that particular road .
49 years ago today this masterpiece was released. Thank you Elton and Bernie.
Fun fact: Whether you've heard this song before, or if this is your first listen, *you love this song*
Your not wrong
Lmao fax I just looked it up to see ppls comments
Can't agree more!
I don't like lol
its not my thing. i dont know i only like the main chorus, but besides that, it aint all that good

Back here just minutes after the Farewell From Dodger Stadium Concert, still can’t believe it’s over. The end of an era…we love you Elton, and wish you success with your family
Everyone wants the fame and fortune life can offer; but when you eventually have it, you realize what you want is just a simple and quiet life.
That's the truth
As Bob Dylan said. You can sell your privacy but you cant buy it back.
That's deep...
Sad truth😢
Omg that would be amazing!! Hoping for the best for you.
I'm so pleased to finally see Maeve in action, and get a happy ending. Ashley showed humanity and courage for a change, too.
Maeve held her own
I honestly rlly underestimated Maeve until she fought Homelander
@@jquq8221 Maeve too underestimated herself all this time. But when she saw homelander bruised, she took her chance to fight him.

It's bad

Loved the way this was used in the boys as they put solider boy to bed. What a ride this season was
This song was in my father's old loptop along with other golden age songs. What a masterpeace this was. Today i hold a funeral for that loptop. Rest in peace old freind.
rip laptop
This is kind of music is definitely better than most modern music
That's not too difficult lol
And would be 100x better than 2021's music too
So true
Music is subjective lad
You clearly don't listen to the good stuff. There's good music released every year.
This is my first time hearing this song and... Damn. This is fantastic.

It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics to get you on your feet again...

Saw Rocketman with my daughter last night. We talked about not forgetting your roots. Return to the plough. Be true to yourself, as you heal your past.
How was it
@@Northstar.mp4 A must see!
This movie started so many great conversations with my mum. Stuff about how sexuality was hidden and how many rockstars used got drugs. You know a film's fantastic when it can still be entertaining 30 minutes after the credits roll
I'd be honored if some Elton John fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LEVON and ROCKET MAN on my YT channel in tribute to the masters of 20th century composition and lyrics (Elton and Bernie Taupin). Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
Ah,if only
I absolutely ❤️ love Elton John, he’s got it going on still today. Back in the day when he sang all of these songs, that’s when I fell in love with him. I was young back then, now I’m 51 and I REALLY love these songs still. To me if a songwriter, singer had really good songs in the 1970’s and those songs are still popular today, that’s incredible talent!!
Every marvel trailer comes with the marvelous music! ❤️

EJ Sutton I'm very sorry for your loss and may your father rest in peace but I'm just curious what do you mean they played it at his funeral? Did they play it in the church? I always see comments that say please play this at my funeral and they just make me wonder because I never heard songs played in a church at a funeral before. The mood is usually too solemn. Just wondering is all. My condolences and may your dad rest in peace. ✝️

There's 2 kinds of people.
You either came here for nostalgia, or you came here after watching the Finale of The Boys season 3.
Both of these parties can agree on something: This song is incredible.
I came here in search of good tunes, yet I can still agree.
Heard it somewhere before when I was young. Then The Boys reminds me of this again.
amen
I'm both. Had been humming it for a few days before the episode aired. ^^
Neither
Every time I hear this song It reminds me of Bad Kissingen, Germany at Daley Barracks back in 1975. Great memories. Still my favorite Elton John album. Thanks for the memories.
Good Bye Soldier Boy
Me hearing this song in restaurant: oooo i love this song

lol, couldn't remember the lyrics?
The thing that sucks most about this song is that it ends.

I was a baby when this song came out, and i never forgot since then.
ELTON JOHN IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGERS OF ALL TIME!!!
He has always been one my all time favorites, and this one of many great songs solidifies that…..

Maybe ur Google is broken, lmmfao
The 70's was Magic !
I agree
The beauty
Same here. Wonderful memories of the 1970s and the joy of being young.
Can't believe this song stalled at # 2 in the fall of 1973-In any event,it's a certifiable classic!
Every time I listen to this, it gets better and better. How is that possible?
Because it's Elton John.
Ye
The mathematical explanation can be summarized as such. Itz gud music.
The music you heard in the grocery stores and (Target) was saving your life. This music was always there, we just had to prove ourselves worthy now to embrace it. You can’t kill the classics. I know I’am 53 and proud to be here to see it.
The music of Reginald Dwight aka Sir Elton John, saved my life when I was young. Forever grateful for A.M. radio and WLS out of Chicago ♡
. ..Amazing . . ...I have no words to express what it means . ...Elton John is pure magic . ..
...And let's not forget Bernie Taupin, the genius behind such beautiful lyrics
Best music is 70 and 80 ❤some in 90 as well !!
Elton John's retirement will hopefully be a peaceful one! He's given his fans a lifetime of music that have touched us emotionally or in a way of inspiration- a legacy that'll never be forgotten.
#GoodbyeYellowbrickRoad
I saw him last night at the AmericanAirlinesArena
I was so overcome with emotion and I cried the whole time. What an experience!!!
Not as long as our young are led down the path of falsehoods

I think this is the most beautiful song I've ever heard in my whole life
i freaking agree most of the songs i heard i didnt like them in the first, but this hits different the first time you hear it

Best song to play while being stored in a box for the 2nd time in your life.
That “ahhhhh, ahhh , ahhhhhh” really hit when u getting exposed for fucking fish by an ex
The Boys ... lol
Yep just finished watching it lol
Poor Soldier Boy
No soldier boy what they did to my boy😭😭😭😭😭
The fact that Bernie and Elton made it through this hard moment in their collaboration, and produced THIS gem of a song as a result... WOW. Takeaway: We can all get through whatever the fuck it is we're going through. (And lord knows we all are, am I right?) This is tragic. Gorgeous. Hopeful... Full of so much gratitude...
They played this song on the plane while I was traveling to my new work assignment 1,495 kilometers away from home. This song kinda made me emotional and brought me to tears while I was on the plane because of the thought I will be so far away from home. But then I again, I just focus on the great opportunity I was given and the thought that I may be able to give my family a bit of an easy life. So yeah... hanging on, for whatever the future may bring.
@meowstarperson made me chuckle a bit, because what if somebody would shoot down the plane I am in. LOL
How are you doing now? Hope all is well.
How's it going?
