      It's 4.24.24 at 2 am from West Virginia and Elton John is one of the greatest ever. I have seen him concert 9 time's and each concert was awesome. He definitely is a great performer. Hoping his health gets better from a nasty fall in his home. A great icon...

    I was 32, homeless, 3 overdoses, 3 suicide attempts, given last rites
    Then someone showed me love
    32 years fast forward, married a beautiful son, a beautiful wife and a daughter in heaven and my business is doubling every year
    4 books in the writing, one is about to be published. I took that love and serve others now in 22 countries
    This song goes so deep to my heart
    Such gratitude
    Life is good
    Music is prayer

The wiki page says that there was a man that pushed Elton on his vocals here, so he's to be thanked as well, because it's a whole character in this. This song is like a book.

    This song brings me back to when I was a teenager painting an Army Base in Rome N.Y. A bunch of us coworkers took a lunch break and then realized that one of our coworkers didn't come out of the building and wasn't having lunch with the rest of us. We went back in the building and there was paint fumes and our coworker was passed out on the floor. Around that time this song was playing on the radio. So we got our coworker count of the building and he survived. Thank God. So someone saved my life tonight means a lot to me even many years later😁

    I saw Elton live in 1974 Portland OR. He sat down at the piano at 8pm sharp and finished at 11:40pm (w a short break). Being the only act on the bill, it was advertised as 'An Evening with Elton John'. He was the biggest Rock/Pop act in the world. As you might guess, it was incredible. It seemed like he played every great song he wrote (w Bernie). A super far out evening indeed !

Often times I sing myself to sleep singing "Your Song" The best words in any song is " How wonderfull life is while you're in the world". What a loving thing to say to another person. Elton's music will outlive many others.

      Yes, I saw Elton in 1993. Half the show solo, and for the second half he was joined by percussionist Ray Cooper, who was fantastic. Elton opened with "Your Song," just him and his piano, and I just remember it was pure ear candy to hear! His piano sounded so wonderful as it began to be amplified through the pavilion's sound system.

In the middle of the show, Elton stopped and came to the front of the stage and grabbed the Goodbye yellow brick record my buddy was holding and autographed it. Insane moment forever etched in my brain.

    I remember listening to Elton for the 1st time my freshman year in my girlfriends basement.
    We were holding hands playing Mr.John's music in 1975 that she introduced me to .I had at that time no idea how great a talent he was . Years later I saw him live twice and it hit me, in a word " amazing " the talent Elton has is beyond words and this is my favorite song with many others being a close second

    The first time I heard Erin’s music I was in junior high and my eldest brother brought home Madman Across the Water. I wore his record out. After that, I’d save my allowance so I could buy every album as it came out. Now he’s Sir Elton John and a legend. So many great albums and so little time. Thanks to Elton for being the soundtrack to many great memories of my life.

    Saw him in St.Louis in 1971. Could sing along with every song. Bought every album he put out up through Yellow Brick Road. After that my taste of music parted ways from his. Every once in a while he go back to the old original song style, I think to let us old hippies that he knew where he came from. How many of you know the music sound track for the movie " Friends " ? 1971.

    It’s such a treat listening to Elton John’s song’s, especially after not hearing them for some 30 years, but all the good memories came flooding back the min I heard the first song of his, and then another, and another, and believe me, you can’t stop at just one…
    Strangely enuf, I’m enjoying his songs & music more now than I did in my youth, especially the one’s he personally wrote bcuz the lyrics are timeless, comforting, humorous, sad, loving, charming, happy, and celebratory bcuz he communicates to his fans they’re not alone, and we’re all in this together…
    🎤🎧Elton John’s songs, and music is entertainment that’s as
    good as it gets!!! 🎹
    ❤️Thank you Sir John for givin’
    it your all!❤️
    YOU’RE THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!
    ❤️Love Always!❤️
