Happy Sunday morning! Toni and I recorded this cover of Rocket Man in a house in the middle of the desert when it was 118 degrees Fahrenheit outside, and we turned the A/C off so you didn't have to hear it roaring and rattling in the background. That definitely created a sense of "don't mess this up because you only have about five minutes before the desert melts you." Nothing like a little heat to make that first take count! :) Hope you enjoy our version of Elton John's classic song.

The fact that these two came together is proof that there is good in this world. I’ve never regretted watching one of their videos.
Amen, my friend. These two make me sentimental and misty eyed.
Exactly. Peace guys.
So true! I can forget for a bit that the world is in chaos and turmoil. Such a blessing and joy to watch. :)
No Doubt!!! Hope they play Mcgabes here in so cal USA soon!!!
Yes, there is some good in this world, but Christ Jesus is coming soon to take us home to the place where only righteousness dwells.
2 Peter 3;13
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
I'm currently in a rehab facility recovering from alcohol and these videos are part of my morning ritual....I don't think I have to explain why😊
Good wishes to you, internet stranger.
Life is so much better without alcohol
The way Toni lights up on the chorus... so beautiful.
The Secret Weapon, Toni Lindgren
Couldn't agree more 😊
I love Toni
Tony on the guitar is a thing of beauty.
For sure!
And those vocals!
They both have the same name? New here.
I absolutely adore these two gals. They can brighten up a cloudy day; turn rain to sunshine. Keep it up ladies. The world loves ya! 🇺🇸🤗🎶🎵
not only the smiles and voices ... the colors ... the couch, shirts, guitars, hairs and skins together with the frames so elegantly blends
ilove reina and toni
This takes the world back to a simpler time. What a wonderful treat this Sunday morning. Thank you ladies.

@@carlosv9936 u lovely being
Toni is an amazing guitar player! But I have to admit, I love it when she sings backing vocals. I feel that puts you all in the Simon & Garfunkel lane.
The amount of joy that they exude while playing this music is unsurpassed. I'm addicted.
originals tend to become the benchmark, covers are always compared with what they copy, but here there's a softness which the song deserves but the original fails to deliver. You nailed this one gals ! Thank you.
Bill Shatner's version was best
This version helps...
Understanding chords and harmony, blended with rhythmic choices are so beautifully presented. One thing many of us might enjoy is, at the end of your Sunday Morning videos, if you could give us a bit of background on why a particular song was chosen and why key and tempo choices were made. Your interpretations are as good as it gets. Thanks for sharing!
I would be really interested in the process you follow to provide us with these gems. How long in advance do you start working on a song? Do you each start separately and then bring to together? I'm curious.
A. Duncan An opposing view: let the music speak for them. Any discussion would be out of place. It would detract. When they are on the mountain top, why insist they come down to the valley?
@@moosemusic6703 me too 😊
Moose Music
I‘m courious as well!!!
Often when I hear them sing one of their beautiful interpretation of a song like this it leads me a way to try to sing and play it too. Just because they show me that it IS possible!
@@rtmca1 I'm guessing you don't play guitar.....Just because the info could be included doesn't mean you'd have to watch it.
Finally some singers singing without that horrible tremolo but flat as it has to be, at least this kind of music. And very well harmonized. Thanks. Well done!
But some singers just naturally have a voice like that. It is called vibrato. I know because my voice has it and it's not as easy to control as one might think! ...❤❤❤❤...love these young women and their wonderful renditions of great songs.
So much dimension with just two guitars and two voices. What a treasure y'all are!
1:55 "In fact it's cold as hell...." What a great metaphor, written by one of the world's greatest song writers, covered by Reina and Toni, music's new present and bright future......shine on us in all these days of fake talent!
Elton only ever wrote the music; Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics. Elton was still a session musician at that time, put an ad in a trade paper looking for a lyricist. Bernie answered, teamed up with Elton and the rest is history as the saying goes!
Nice...Elton released this song in 1972. I was eleven, Toni and Reina weren't born. Great music lasts forever.
I was 21. It was a special time and a very special song. Immortal!
@@thomashermann2785 Me too. Would like to go back, and not return..
I watched him perform it on our countries 200th birthday.
I was in the army defending Kansas, getting drunk in Salina and Agieville nonstop.
I was about -35 years old when this was released haha, but man does Elton John (Or Reginald Dwight) bring happiness to me with his songs and this will always be one of my favorite songs, and my favorite movies, and he will always be my favorite artist
Beautifully done…Toni’s guitar work is so subtly executed and really perfect…
Incredible version. You two never cease to amaze me.
It is SO nice to see and hear Toni get a more showcased moment to see her beautiful smile, her joy, his skill - and don't forget... It's difficult to sing harmony and back up vocals. This was a treat.
That harmony starting from the chorus sent me to space.
Classics
As a guitar player for 40 years, my admiration of Toni’s skills goes without saying. Reinas beautiful voice makes this song fresh again. Keep up the great work girls. Love from Canada
Elton is always a challenge for us guitar players, because of his composition style. Good job you guy's! A beautiful arrangement! :) And huge kudos to Davey Johnstone for doing it for 48 years!!
Ah ok that makes sense. Had a feeling it was a bit unusual.
Davey is a guitar God!
ua-cam.com/video/forqmom3YuY/v-deo.html
It's not just because of his composition style. It's also because he's a piano player. And most of the best piano keys (Bb, F, Eb) are the worst keys for guitar.
@@marcjacobs5988 Yes, I've seen this before and it's awesome!! :)
My god is this a beautiful song, and their voices top it off. This song was made almost 4 decades before my birth and his music still amazes me, what an amazing man that he currently is. Rocket Man is and always be one of my favorite songs and movies. These women made my day.
Toni brings the excitment and Reina brings something more laid-back. Original version from Elton is fantastic but this is absolutely brilliant and well-balanced (vocals, atmosphere, the joy it spreads, the guitars sound, and what a great chorus).
About 45 years from now, I heard this song about 5000 times a day.
Thank you very much for this smooth travel back in time.
You guys are very good together. Reina can sing anything and Toni can play anything. Love the classic song choices... from my era. 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
I stumbled on these ladies probably a year ago and I haven’t missed a Sunday morning. I’m a big fan. Love y’all and thank you
"AWESOME, AWESOME JOB!" ... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ... and that's how it's done y'all 👍👍😎 (... that's a hard song to play and sing to make it sound great... and you two COMPLETELY NAILED IT...) I have to ask this ... is there no end to y'all's talent ? No? Then the World is blessed 👍👍😎
Thank you for your existence in our lives. Music is the essence of life. Gratitude for calming us down in such dark times that they will pass soon.
Thank you ladies .Elton JOHN is an icon .He is our "Tiny dancer " .Love you .🕊🌻😍🙋♀️☕🙋♂️☕😻☕
I have said it before and I will say it again. Is there nothing these two cannot do that turns to pure gold once it's completed?
The most complex and angelic harmonies ever!
Great arrangement.
good morning ladies:) thank you as always for sharing your incredible gifts!!! have a great day!!!
Just makes me smile. 1974 - 75, Estes Park, CO. Her name was Penny. They called her Rocket. I was the new kid in town. This was her jam. Thanks ladies.
My Sunday mornings would not be complete without these two
I have never realized what a beautifully harmonic song this is. Until now, beautifully done ladies. Thank you.
Beautiful music by two beautiful ladies, puts a smile on this old mans face😀Thank you ladies!🤗
You two ladies should stick together because you enhance each other so much.
Toni plays wonderfully well and with great style, making it all look so easy, which it is not.
Your voices are both excellent and blend so well.
Thanks for posting your amazing songs and good luck in all you do.
Keep smiling and DANCE while you can!!!
Your shirts and guitars go with the decor. :) Earth tones--ironic given the song!
These few seconds after 0:40 exemplify their amazing symbiosis and the detailed work that goes into true perfection. Notice the high picking begins with Reina on guitar and leads into Toni’s tasty riff. Little things mean a lot and these two mean a lot to so many. Great vocal harmony blend too.
I always wait Sunday concerts, makes my week end on happy feeling.
Thank you for making this simple and beautiful. Just two guitars and two mics. Very nice.
Just watched the Elton biopic "Rocketman" two days ago, so what a treat to hear you guys play this. Love it.
I saw it this Sunday. Then saw this made me feel like we are all one for a moment .
ua-cam.com/video/forqmom3YuY/v-deo.html
@@marcjacobs5988 Thanks for sharing that, it is awesome. It reminds me of The Cleverlys and their covers of "I got a feeling" and "Single Ladies".
@@canadice1999 thanks for the response. You're welcome.
I've heard this song a million times. And heard Reina and Toni do a thousand cover songs.
And yet this still makes me misty.....
I am impressed with Toni's ability to play. Thank you very much for this beautiful interpretation. They lit up my Sunday. Hugs from southern Brazil.
I mean besides the fact that you two have magical musical abilities on your instruments every time I come here to listen to a song your voices hypnotize me (yes both your voices)
This is SO good, Ladies. As an "elderly man" (from Essen, Germany) who was young when this song first appeared I'm happy to see this music is still alive and living and well. Your playing is so subtle and yet full of drive. Your singing is so smooth and easy. Just fun to listen and see, and your joy of playing makes me jump.
MERCI to share ...superb version It makes me so happy to hear an old and so beautiful when I was livin in London in the 74...Toni and Rosa you re superb ...keep on thanks ....
Comment: Awesome! Toni’s harmonies really shined today.
Idea: Instead of turning the camera off at the conclusion of a song, it might be good to awkwardly stare into the lens for at least 10 more minutes.
im 72 and a guitar player love seeing young people in music i have given away dozens of guitars to help people learn most young people cant put there phone down long enough to make there lives better
Greetings from not Mars...but Finland. Such a nice version. Almost better than original. Girls you are most talented. Keep on "trucking" 🌞
Total conceptual understanding taken to the next higher level. They always perform a better rendition than the original. How do they make that happen! Makes one wonder if they even realize they're doing that.
Kiitos ystävä

Greetings from Israel. Very hot here too...Being a big fan of Sir Elton, your cover is the best I've heared in a long long time! Cheers!
Takes me back to when I listened to this album almost every night
I love the voice of Reina del Cid. Loving Lindgren's guitar. Thank you for your music.
that little riff around 2 min is why you guys are just so cool. really enjoying!
I really like Toni's guitar work and the samba oriented arrangement. Always simple and effective. Greetings from Spain.
Me encanta el trabajo de guitarra de Toni y el arreglo de samba que le da al tema. Siempre es simple y eficaz. Saludos desde España.
This was fantastic! Not only is the performance absolutely excellent, I love how the guitar parts are arranged...Reina’s lead vocal is beautiful and Toni’s harmony is absolutely perfect. Great job both of you! Thank you!
And I think it’s going to be a long long time before someone else can do justice to Elton John song rocket man the way you gals just did.
Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
Beautiful sound ladies, this takes me back to about 1973 when things were a bit more normal.😀
Dear Reina and Toni, I'm a big fan, I love your version of this song so I have copied the way Toni plays her part and I really enjoy the chord progression, my buddy will be playing Reina's part. Thankyou so much, please keep brining happiness to the world. peace and love from down under
That was beautiful, the simplest form of music... played acoustically and performed flawlessly ... outstanding ladies
Very very good.....Elton John is a masterful song writer, grt to cu doing it justice.....beautiful.
This.hit.the.spot.
Thank you both, for just nailing the energy on this.
beautiful ! nice, smooth and calm, love the colour coordination too, well done Ladies ! you are very special! Thank you.x.
Thanks once again Reina and Toni, 2 angels from heaven entertaining us in lockdown, God bless us both love damian from Melbourne Australia
Again...just what I need on Sunday afternoon...a few beers, brilliant sun and two beautiful ladies with such a great skills and voice...I'm blessed. Thank you for sharing.
Outstanding ladies! It is getting harder and harder to be surprised when the performances are great. We need more Reina and Toni. If things don't start opening up more pretty soon. We are going to need some more streaming concerts. You guys really are a joy, and the best part of Sunday in quarantine. Stay well and safe both of you. Jeff.
Music one of the few things that penetrants the soul.....Getting use to church through these Sunday raptures.
Amazing color palate in this video. Was this carefully thought out?? Great version of Rocket Man... The intimate duo version. I'm always impressed by your arrangements! Thanks!!!
That color palate is reminiscent of color shots from Mars.
Ah... just where did they record this?
Agree. I was struck with the 70s palette, hat, cutoffs...could just imagine Toni’s pants had a high waist with a little narrow belt...
( June 2 2021 ) I just had a shiver go up my spine like an earthquake. You and Toni , the harmonies ... WOW
Wonderful Sunday morning performance! Thank you! ☀️
Best Sunday Morning you've given me. thanks so much. memories flood.
I love how much you two love this song!
I see your passion and feel your emotion.
You two should cover "Mona Lisa's and Mad Haters," by Elton John as well.
You would kill that song as well.
Your friends Guitar playing and backup vocals are absolutely right on point. Not too much, not too little.
Thank you for being so beautiful and for the positivity!!
re-listening this maybe the 100th time now, just realised that it would be cool if this was a 360 video
Out of this world - lovely interpretation. Best wishes from the UK, keep safe all & try to be kind. X
Awesome cover!!! I am teaching my 2 daughters to play guitar, piano and sing. I will show them this fo sho!!
Amazing. Your love for music shows in every note. Love you guys, and I love your music. Thank-you for sharing.
This came out when I was 11 and has been a favourite of mine since.
You truly did it justice...thanks.
So sweet. Love that song! A perfect complement to "Cassiopeia" !!!
Ok now it would be wonderful to hear "Space Oddity"! (Maybe a space album in the future?!?🤔)😐
"And I think it's goin to be a long long time." till next week. Thanks marvelous ladies.
You know, a fun song to do might be "Lola".
Superb!
I loved your take on this! You've really made it your own. Your music seems to be hitting another level these days. The vocals are outstanding! The confidence of Toni's playing is on full display!
And, you have a nice color pallet going on, too! Everything matches!
I work most Sunday mornings. I loom forward to these videos when I get home. A glass of dry wine and Reina del Cid
An Elton John Search brought me to your channel once. Today i find myself surrounded by friends, despite living thousands of miles away. Very real friends, nonetheless. Thank you for being you.
Love, love, love! EVERYTHING! Set design included! Corleone, G.
something about that room reminds me of the Stardust Motel in Las Vegas in the 1960s. Nice earthy background for the song. HaHa
peterzuehlke definitely. Wonderful colors.
I like this cover better than Elton's original! Really excellent. And Toni puts on a clinic as usual. So good.
Thank you for letting me take this journey with you. Wonderful, thank you
Hello, every Sunday I enjoy your Songs, thank you for this Sunday-Gift. Greetings from Germany
Great! What a cool tune in desert colors!
This song deserves to be played in a van whilst traveling Alaska. Where else might it better breathe and live? Perfectly performed. First take? Let’s say yes, for sure.
The whole package of music, vibes and coordinated colour - just gorgeous!
thank you for making every Sunday sunny, best wishes from Germany
Absolutely amazing. I love Toni's way to play. Really inspired.
I have to say that for a good while, I was quite impressed with the MonaLisa Twins, because of their talent and ability to bring back some of the great tunes, but you two are also doing a fantastic job and I watch you both a lot lately. I watch Josh a lot as well, because I know that all of you work together often. It's great to see such talent in younger people these days and I am talking about rare, great talent. Thanks, beautiful rendition of this song. Unusual choice of a key for the guitar, which made it even better.
Perfect. Brilliant cover of a song that always sounds to me like a David Bowie song. Your arrangement is fascinating, even better, if I may say so, than Elton's original (could just be that I'm partial to guitar music). It's also entirely fitting for the times we're in. It feels to me, as I'm sure it does to many, that we're all floating all alone in our little space capsules waiting for a return to "normal." But "I think it's going to be a long, long time" indeed. I also really dig the 1960s space-era vibe of the decor.
One of the many great songs off the Honky Chateau album. In my estimation one of Elton's best albums and my favorite.
Damn. Harmonies, dynamics and flourishes are exceptional
Have I mentioned just how much I enjoy hearing/seeing you to play? I do a lot.
Your harmonies always give me goosebumps!
A very golden video pallette for two golden ladies singing solid gold
Belle performance! L'émotion passe vraiment bien! Merci!
Tu as raison.
great stuff ladies from an old boomer who loves seeing talented young people
