Eu Dancei muito, nas festas dos anos 70,minha adolescência e início da idade adulta. ouvindo essa música. Ela faz parte da minha playlist dessa época,hoje, aposentado, ouço todos os dias, Pilotando minha Moto. Hoje, 23/06/2024 Tenho 67 anos de idade.
I was at the age of 14 back in 2000, living in a one-horse-town in my home country, Brazil. One night, I was watching tv and, during the break of the sopa opera, an advert for a collection of 1970's music flashed on the screen. I couldn't care less about that old people's music. I was a teenager who hadn't even been around until 1986. Only, one of those songs caught my ears. I looked at the screen and saw a bespectacled, strange looking fellow. His glasses were huge! His voice got into my years and I felt something so good inside. I waited for the commercial to appear on the screen again, so that I could discover who sang that song and its title. I had to read it quickly! Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John. Cut the long story short, I asked my mom where Elton John's vinyl, which she'd bought to me several months prior was. I hadn't given it too much thought because it didn't have The Lion King songs on it. I looked for that LP for a few days until I finally found it on a sunny Saturday afternoon. I rushed to the record player, eager to listen to the song whose chorus had enchanted me from the word go. I will never forget the moment I heard Elton getting to "The bluuues..." and the band heavenly singing "Aaaaaaa", while the drums sound sort of ripped my heart. I felt like being taken to another dimension. Seriously! As they say, the rest is history. I've been a die-hard fan since then.
That is one of the best true stories I ever heard coming from a music lover. I've seen Sir Elton 3 times- he's my Sister's favorite performer. 😊❤ Love, from N.Y.S.
This song was playing when I found out my mom was dying. I didn't get home in time to see her before she left us. I still can't hear this song without breaking down
I honestly dont understand why so many people love to talk about their private lives in the comment section. It's always "it was the favourite music of my dad/mom...." Yes it's sad, but keep it to yourself, i honestly dont care Please note i mean no harm by saying this, i just dont understand how you are going to feel better talking about your private life to total strangers on the internet
Rocketman has me listening to these songs in a new way...it's like I'm understanding the lyrics more and hearing a deeper meaning. I've gotten soo emotional listening to his music since seeing that movie
2018: I saw “Bohemian Rhapsody” and rediscovered my love for Queen 2019: I saw “Rocketman” and rediscovered my love for Sir Elton John #TIMELESS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@rajamaharjan3601 These two have different endings. In Bohemian Rhapsody, the credits state of Freddie Mercury dying of AIDS in 1991 while in Rocketman, Elton John is still alive and well after going into rehab.
This song always comforts me when I sometime encounter sadness and grieves. Afterward I will say goodbye to them and start a new life again. Special thanks, Sir Elton!😉
Elton John would not be who he is today without Bernie Taupin, the incredibly gifted songwriter who penned most of the lyrics of his songs. Elton's moving, complex, beautiful compositions and fantastic showmanship made for some glorious music. I was at this concert and it changed me. I will never forget it.
I disagree, not because Taupin isn't a great lyricist, he is. The first thing that gets your attention in a song is not the lyrics, but the melody, the tune. If it's a great melodic and rhythmical sound, it's catchy and sticks in your mind, then you will hum that tune all day and then maybe dig deeper into the words of the song. Just my opinion.
@@aviatorpianokraft you also need to recognize the people that were involved in the production, mixing, arrangement, etc. A great player or great singer is simply just that but without Bernie and the other crazy talented people that worked with Elton we would not have the personification of beauty that some of his biggest hits present. People focus on the star only to forget that it’s the entirety of the night sky that makes it beautiful. 👍
@@aviatorpianokraft Yeah...the first thing you may see is the beautiful ass or eyes of a girl...but in the end what you will love is her brain. So...melody is part of it but the lyrics are what make a song...a real piece of art, rarely the melody only.
This particular video is from a TV show that obviously had a very small audience and he appears to be lip syncing, because he never moves away from the microphone like that when he's singing live. Plus the sound is way too full/produced to be live. I also know that there isn't a serious Elton fan alive that doesn't know how much he credits Bernie for his success. You make it sound like he's a glory seeker or something. That said, I also agree with Roger Hawkins above.
I was 11 years old when I first heard " Goodbye Yellow Brick Road " back in 1973. I immediately fell in love with the song. Now over some 49 years later at 60 it still My Favorite Elton John ever !
I was 10. He was sure making a splash back then and amazingly his music has aged very very well. I'd liked to think we of this age have aged almost as well.
So 😥😔 I was so young!! When I lost my daughter 💔😢 and she loved this music 🎶🎵she had no choice. I played this all of the time. And I took her to all of my concerts here in Florida in the late 80s and 90s. Never was able to see Elton unfortunately until after she was older and didn't care. I miss that girl so much it kills me
@@jennapuhl596 🙏💞 I'm a Mother, and I cannot fathom how one gets through. My Faith is super strong, and I've had alot of loss in my lifetime. I find that music also is like a "balm"
When I was about 6-7 years old this song was played on the radio and tv in Greece. It sounded as an amazing bitter sweet melody to my ears without of knowledge of English language. I think that it was the choice for the last song to play Elton John to close his career on the stage . Its one of the best ever pop ballads.
Back then it was so exciting getting the vinyl record home and looking at the lyric sheet wasn't it? $6.99 of pure bliss when u dropped the needle down.
Confesso que surpreende a quantidade de brasileiros aqui, curtindo esse ícone da música. Parabéns a todos que estão aqui. Fui Locutor de Rádio anos 80 e 90. tive o prazer de tocar Sir Elton nas emissoras onde passei. bons tempos!!
Yes he used his voice to great effect when he had his original range. He purposefully slowed down his own vocal and sang on top of the melody to give the song that dreamy melodic sound.
Anyone who maybe hasn't seen Rocketman,--run to see this film. It is a work of utter genius. Thank you to all involved. What a gift you gave us, in this masterpiece!
The casting is 100% great. Egerton did an excellent job. However the musical parts were not my favorite. They could’ve gone more in depth into his relationships and other parts of his life. I wish it were more like bohemian rhapsody but nonetheless a good film.
This song reminded me when I was young, my dad would take us to the drive in near Lake Odessa, MI. My brother and I would play in the playground till the movie started. I pretended that I was in a spacecraft. I’ll be eating bucket of KFC (remember?) with some Coca Cola. What a memory….. oh, the other song was Bennie and the Jets………..
Yes thank you for mentioning Bernie some people completely ignore Bernie and go straight to Elton, As it says in Elton Johns Autobiography “Me” Elton says “I loved Bernie more than I loved my wife” And he didn’t know he was gay yet so
I was in the United State Navy in the fall of 1974, stationed in San Diego at school, when I went to the laundry mat to do my wash and this song was on the jukebox.
One of the greatest pop songs ever written. I was only a boy of eleven and had no idea of what the song meant, but it was haunting and memorable and I would find myself thinking about it when I wasn’t listening to it. A true classic😊👍🏻
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
I’ve never written a “fan” comment in my life. This is a first. I’ve always appreciated the music if Elton John but more so after watching “Rocketman”. I’m so glad his life didn’t end in tragedy. My hats off to you Mr. John.
This song is a important part of my childhood. I can feel the smell of my childhood because this song. My parents used to listen this song and I used to follow them enjoying great songs like that.
I was a sophomore in high school when this was released. Being born in the late 50s, I feel like I was born at the right time for all the best music ever created.
I love Elton John' s voice! He sounds so good even in person. I have attended all his concerts in Louisville, KY.... I love Elton and every thing about him! He is always helping others with his love and devotion! I'll always keep him in my prayers. May God bless ELTON and his family. Debbie from Louisville, KY.
My mom said she used to put three year's old me in front of the stereo with my huge headphones and my Elton John 8 track and I would stay there for hours, mesmerized.
8 track tape, I was in high school when those were popular. Plus my wife still has some of those 8 track tapes wi th a player down in storage in our basement , Boy I feel old.
Elton was an amazingly good singer in his youth (in addition to his other super gifts for composition and piano). A huge talent unlike many of today's so called stars.
@@ddsforever1 yip. You only realise that in your golden age. Just yesterday I was a teenager, now I am an old age pensioner. Damn, my adult kids would crucify me for being posting on U-tube 🤣🤣🤣
A very young Elton with that golden voice. he looks and sounds wonderful. And he still does. Standing ovation to this superstar.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
THE GOOD OLD DAYS ROCK AND ROLL WILL NEVER DIE NOW MY GRANDKIDS ENJOY IT I HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE YET AND STILL PRAYING I GET A TICKET TO SEE HIM IN NASHVILLE COME OCTOBER . SELFISH I GUESS I WANT BOTH . THANKS ELTON JOHN LOVE ALL YOUR MUSIC .
I remember listening to Elton John when I was around 11 years old. We played 45 records. We loved Elton and he had one hit right after another. I'm 59 now and I still crank his music up😘
31 de outubro de 2022 estou aqui ouvindo essa linda música ,e me lembrando do meu irmão Marcos Bendia! Que partiu para outro plano no dia 3 de outubro!! Saudades de você meu irmão. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yep! this is excellent music, doesnt matter, the where, FACT is, its Elton at his finest, did see him live for my B day bout 5 yrs ago in Vegas, one of the best concerts ive seen, out of many. (he was 72 then) still blows away all this crap they call music nowadays, todays music, nothing but synthetic, bass laden junk, way too dark what is called "music today. Elton is a real Artist at work. one of the best of all times, his music still survives today, new dark music is forgotten in less than a few years, wont stand the test of time..
This is one of my favorite songs but unfortunately it isn’t live, If you want to watch something from this same period live and captured well, I’d watch Pink Floyd echoes, live at Pompeii.
My dad used to play this song on repeat when I was young. I went back here after watching Angelina sang her own version on AGT. Old songs never grow old.
Im far older than you, was a fan when this song was a hit. I always thought this was the second part of his hit Honky cat, from a couple albums before Goodbye. In Honky cat he's leaving the farm, in Goodbye he's going back. Both songs were big hits
do yourself a favor kid, think for yourself and don't get caught up in your "feelings". there's enough of those self loathing idiots. don't get indoctrinated by your liberal teachers and their insanity. think for yourself and you'll see all the liberal nonsense for yourself. good luck with your future kid
@@gwynnielsen5081 Thanks so much for the morale push. it has been your prayers and support that has kept me at my best, may the good lord bless and guide you. For How Long Have You been a Fan of my Music?
I love this song and grew up with listening to all of Eltons music, but only a couple weeks ago truly listened to all the lyrics, which made me feel he went through things not good...Truly listen to what he is saying....
Восторгу моему нет предела! Как нет предела таланту этого человека, музыканту, сформировавшему у людей вкус и понимание вот такой Музыки! Такого вокала! Спасибо за музыку!
2 de dezembro de 2022 ! Estou ouvindo essa linda música, e me lembrando do meu falecido irmão Marcos Bendia! Amanhã faz 2 meses que vc se foi. Saudades eternas. 😔😔😔😔
One of the most beautiful songs ever written and recorded.
Absolutely rockin
I agree so much
Great lyrics.
Going away so I can give you an update.
most emotional was watching this performed at the last concert ever
My favorite Elton John song of all time. I can listen to it on repeat for hours.
Same. Such a gorgeous song. Timeless classic.
Me too - with headphones.

So sorry for your loss. Sometimes music can help relief the pain even though it will never be gone. Much love and Blessings
This song reminds me of my mom too and I also didn’t make it home in time to see her before she passed. :’(
So so sorry for your loss
I am so happy that his didn’t turn out to be a story that ended in tragedy.
Unlike many others..
You clearly haven’t seen his wig
It hasn't ended yet
Gary Shropshire It’s not death one fears, it’s the fear that one had not started living.
Ken Dobson I would take the wig anytime if I only had his talent, money, fame, and family as well.
MOM'S FAVORITE SONG..SHE PASSED AWAY 20 YEARS AGO AND NOW MAKES ME CRY
Mate keep continuing listening to it :) Even if it makes you cry, just remember they are happy tears :)
it didn't make you cry before?

Sir she is waiting for you with her loving open arms in Paradise.
Essa pra mim é a melhor do Elton John, não me canso de ouvir. Como faziam músicas maravilhosas no passado. Faz muito bem a mente e aos ouvidos.
This song is in the top 20 of the most beautiful songs in history
Rocketman has me listening to these songs in a new way...it's like I'm understanding the lyrics more and hearing a deeper meaning. I've gotten soo emotional listening to his music since seeing that movie
Same here- one of my favorites that never made a hit was "High Flying Bird" and "Blues for Baby & me".
Me too. Here in Brazil he is very repected and admired ! I love his songs!
Me three, just so emotional finally being able to put situations with lyrics and melodies.
Me too!
Same here !! I was at the 1980 nyc free Central Park concert 💖💞💓it blew my brain then still today love Elton John 😘❤️💞
The man is a musical genius and now a legend.

Uh what? Why couldn't you possibly describe how you feel lol? Are you ok?
Hearing this in Rocketman sent chills down my spine

I cried
Holding back tears next to my girlfriend as we are in the movie theater 😭
Made me appreciate the lyrics even more
True, it is Elton John's best song of his career.
When I first heard this song, i was blown away by how much it sounds like the Beatles, the cord progression is uncanny, no wonder it was such a hit.
❤😊
rather like the band Chicago then the Beatles I think
Na verdade é superior aos Beatles, para mim Elton é o maior de todos os tempos.
this song is extremely depressing, beautiful and i just love it so much
It sends chills down my spine hearing it in Rocketman was incredible
kadyence why depressing?
TIffanyrose Angeles it just makes me sad :(
TIffanyrose Angeles you should watch rocketman
It's extremely difficult to sing

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
Who comes up with lyrics like that? Bernie pen through Eltons lips. The stuff legends are made of.
Thanks
Gracias por la letra. Asi puedo cantar, mal pero igual
You are amazing.
Thanks for putting the lyrics, I bet it took time huh?

Eu ouvi em 1.974, hoje tenho 61, ainda dá pra emocionar 😭😭😭😭
I rewatched Rocket man yesterday and this song just hit me in the gut. So strong ❤
Memories galore when I listen to this song. Takes me back to happy times..
Minha favorita do Elton. Marvel, obrigada por resgatarem essa obra de arte ❤️
❤️🎶❤️
Lembra minha infância. Marvel foda...
Choro sempre que ouço
Eu conhecer ela por causa do trailer do "homem-formiga" da Marvel
The finale to the Boys Season 3 also has this song, too. It didn't go anywhere.
I’ve never written a “fan” comment in my life. This is a first. I’ve always appreciated the music if Elton John but more so after watching “Rocketman”. I’m so glad his life didn’t end in tragedy. My hats off to you Mr. John.
Sir
This song is a important part of my childhood. I can feel the smell of my childhood because this song. My parents used to listen this song and I used to follow them enjoying great songs like that.
What a pretty and enchanting woman ,hello my darling ?
@@MrWierchawskythank you.❤️
I was a sophomore in high school when this was released. Being born in the late 50s, I feel like I was born at the right time for all the best music ever created.
This song stands up so well today, a timeless song written by a true genius 👍
I love Elton John' s voice! He sounds so good even in person. I have attended all his concerts in Louisville, KY.... I love Elton and every thing about him! He is always helping others with his love and devotion! I'll always keep him in my prayers. May God bless ELTON and his family. Debbie from Louisville, KY.
My mom said she used to put three year's old me in front of the stereo with my huge headphones and my Elton John 8 track and I would stay there for hours, mesmerized.
8 track tape, I was in high school when those were popular. Plus my wife still has some of those 8 track tapes wi th a player down in storage in our basement , Boy I feel old.
this was never on an 8 track
Elton was an amazingly good singer in his youth (in addition to his other super gifts for composition and piano). A huge talent unlike many of today's so called stars.
Marvel never goes wrong with choosing A perfect song for a movie or series
Yeah the antman trailer is fireeee
Goosebumps ❤🔥
I like that we all looked this song up after that, we have good taste lol
@@seekthe9 agreed
I’m here from the boys heheh
Elton John in the glory days of the early 1970s .....the way we remember him ....eternally.
A true awesome song that will always stand the test of time,lyrics written by a true icon and legend 🎉🎉
Agree, awesome lyrics.
Beautiful song!
I was 12 when this song hit the charts. I am now 60 and have it on venyl and CD.
Time flies
@@ddsforever1 yip. You only realise that in your golden age. Just yesterday I was a teenager, now I am an old age pensioner. Damn, my adult kids would crucify me for being posting on U-tube 🤣🤣🤣
Me too, was 12 when it hit the charts, funny I always knew what it was about even at 12. Best libe for me where the dogs of society howl.
Ah. The glasses. The signature of Sir Elton John.
Alguém aí, ouvindo esta linda canção???? 2019
A very young Elton with that golden voice. he looks and sounds wonderful. And he still does. Standing ovation to this superstar.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What a gem!
Essa música é esplêndida , aliás , como todas de sir Elton John ... Um artista atemporal ... Amooooo ... 💕💎💕
Exato, ele consegue marcar pessoas até hoje
@@InueShizaki Pra mim é a melhor musica dele. É a que mais toca na alma...seguida de Candle in the Wind
@@luizpretto5442 tenho que ouvir essa
Mas eu também amo essa música
Eu ouço todo dia basicamente
This is my favorite Elton John songs. Brings back great memories of a simpler time in my life.
Absolutely agree but Captain Fantastic is the best album imho
THE GOOD OLD DAYS ROCK AND ROLL WILL NEVER DIE NOW MY GRANDKIDS ENJOY IT I HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE YET AND STILL PRAYING I GET A TICKET TO SEE HIM IN NASHVILLE COME OCTOBER . SELFISH I GUESS I WANT BOTH . THANKS ELTON JOHN LOVE ALL YOUR MUSIC .
mike u better times Mike
This is his best song by far.
Great Song Sounded great then Sounds great now Love the lyrics
This song worked great in The Boys. Love that show and Elton John!
I remember listening to Elton John when I was around 11 years old. We played 45 records. We loved Elton and he had one hit right after another. I'm 59 now and I still crank his music up😘
31 de outubro de 2022 estou aqui ouvindo essa linda música ,e me lembrando do meu irmão Marcos Bendia! Que partiu para outro plano no dia 3 de outubro!!
Saudades de você meu irmão. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This is a LIVE performance. WOW!!!! Hey you kids out there, this is REAL music.
No, it wasnt. That was the studio recording
Yep! this is excellent music, doesnt matter, the where, FACT is, its Elton at his finest, did see him live for my B day bout 5 yrs ago in Vegas, one of the best concerts ive seen, out of many. (he was 72 then) still blows away all this crap they call music nowadays, todays music, nothing but synthetic, bass laden junk, way too dark what is called "music today. Elton is a real Artist at work. one of the best of all times, his music still survives today, new dark music is forgotten in less than a few years, wont stand the test of time..
@@KL-fs1tv Saw him a couple of months ago in Vancouver. EXCELLENT!!!
@@jeffwatts1126 Ouch !!
This is one of my favorite songs but unfortunately it isn’t live, If you want to watch something from this same period live and captured well, I’d watch Pink Floyd echoes, live at Pompeii.
Essa música me transportou de volta a minha infância ❤️
My dad used to play this song on repeat when I was young. I went back here after watching Angelina sang her own version on AGT. Old songs never grow old.
I’m a freshmen in high school and this song is one of the best I’ve ever heard, it connects me to my happy thoughts
🔥stick with this song forever.
The lyrics are actually incredibly depressing…
@@dylan10011998 depressing but gives you a euphoric feeling
Im far older than you, was a fan when this song was a hit. I always thought this was the second part of his hit Honky cat, from a couple albums before Goodbye. In Honky cat he's leaving the farm, in Goodbye he's going back. Both songs were big hits
do yourself a favor kid, think for yourself and don't get caught up in your "feelings".
there's enough of those self loathing idiots. don't get indoctrinated by your liberal teachers
and their insanity. think for yourself and you'll see all the liberal nonsense for yourself.
good luck with your future kid
את השיר הזה מקדישה עם כל אהבתי לגיבור ישראל שלי אורי זוהרי .
מזל טוב וחיים מאושרים❤❤❤❤❤❤
Faz lembrar minha infância, simplesmente espetacular essa música.
E a minha adolescência, música mais linda, lembro dos bailinhos de garagem.
Concordo com você.
One of the most beautiful songs ever.A true masterpiece.loved since i first heard it in -77.
This is probably Elton's greatest album of all time. The song is just brilliant as well.
Thanks for the comment on my page and all the support shown as a special fan of mine.

@@gwynnielsen5081 Thanks so much for the morale push. it has been your prayers and support that has kept me at my best, may the good lord bless and guide you. For How Long Have You been a Fan of my Music?
Elton John is a badass plain and simple. Amazing talent songwriter, vocals and pianist's... WoW!
I love this song and grew up with listening to all of Eltons music, but only a couple weeks ago truly listened to all the lyrics, which made me feel he went through things not good...Truly listen to what he is saying....
Oh my gosh how lucky to be part of this genius to have the enjoyment, long live Elton
Восторгу моему нет предела! Как нет предела таланту этого человека, музыканту, сформировавшему у людей вкус и понимание вот такой Музыки! Такого вокала! Спасибо за музыку!
