I was 3 years sober when my fiance broke up with me. That was a real test that night all I had was Elton Johns " I guess thats why they call it the blues" to listen to. I played this song over and over and cried over and over. However I did not drink I just sang this song with all my heart and today I got 7 years sober. Thank you Mr John for your music that night. :)
I am a black man my sexual orientation is heterosexual, and i love elton john. I went into a all white karaoke bar one night in Joshua, Texas USA. and i sung this song. the crowd went crazy screaming and yelling "Please Sing it Again". I have never been able to capture the excitement i felt that night. Thank you Sir Elton for this song.
Elton John is one of the most talented musicans the world has ever seen, and the vast amount of comments are about Religion, WHY? the man makes great music. He also does amazing amounts of work for charity, and is basically a good man. IF he is ever called upon to "meet his maker" and settle his account, he can hold his head high and be proud of himself.
@@deanskidmore4495 Vocalist-YES! But Elton’s skill on his own instrument-and his ability to place brilliant instrumentation throughout his songs-is tough to beat. Even for a legend like Freddie!
You, english speaking people, how lucky you are... to listen this wonder directly in your languaje, directly to your brain. I think, this should what they call the blues...
The best thing about the English language, its a culmination of many languages, just 'dummied' down a bit. You can get the lyrics superlaestat, and sing along, and enjoy the simplicity but directness of the song, along with any possible ulterior motives.
Saw Elton in Calgary with just a piano... nobody else. No sound other than the piano and he rocked the place for *3* hours. Best concert I have ever seen. I wish he would do it again. Sent my mother to Boston to see the same show, it was that good. ELTON you rock bro. All the best.
Just saw Elton John 2 nights ago at Rosemont's Allstate Arena. Did a great version of this song...I hadn't heard in over 10 years. Still my fav tune of his. Great artist, going strong at 66!!
Elton really is a musician to admire after all these years of playing the same brilliant songs he still gets into it and loves what he does. When he goes out of character(for lack of a better term) during his songs that is a subtle perk I love to see in an artist.
BLUES I GREW UP WITH … THE music of the South … expressing us … find us in it … live it … be it … that soul of us …we are going to live … in a live of us …love you because you are one of Gods …created to be you … fight the fight to be a one heard and loved as you are …
It has gone on to be one of John's most-played songs on radio selections from the 1980s portion of his career. It is also quite well known for being played at Chelsea F.C.'s home matches.
This man any in perofrmance makes me flail my hands like I'm playing piano with him and I always want to match his voice. Whether it be his rich tenor moving baritone it's always inspires me to sing beyond my best. Here's to you Elton John, one for the ages. Not just with things song but with that career and that legacy you have left.
Live for each second without hesitation..... More than ever, I simply love you more than I love life itself.... This man is such an inspiring lyrical/musical genius, and this world is a much richer place with his talent wafting through it. May God bless Sir Elton John
Agree tadpc.... and wellertwos2. Saw EJ at Harewood in Leeds must be 12 years ago - open air summer's night and he hit those keys so hard; the experience hit me like a velvet sledge hammer. A force of nature - a genius. Thank God for EJ.
A true, March Hare, 25/3/1947..... With a moon in Pisces, a creative mind, and an artistic soul.... Long live my fellow, pisces, and Aries, souls... 💗,xoxox
I just heard this song in a local bar as this special girl walks by....such a powerful song. Wanted to get that feeling again once I got home but the emotion are just missing from this one. Just going thru the motion.
It is so simple to tell haters. This is one Sister that L O V E E.John!!!!!!!!!! I love him because he is a human and because he knows what to do with a song........Perhaps when you grow up haters, you will understand the meaning of love and talent. Now go find you pacifier and hope it does not wear out before you are weaned from it.
Yes! The best version I have ever seen! So much impressed... Thank you!! I remember he came here with Billy Joel and had a great concert in Tokyo way back before...
thank God (or whatever you believe in) that a few of these special people were placed on this earth...and very special Mr. Elton John is and always will be!!
before I leave this world Mr. Elton I will continue to try to male it my lifes work to see you in concert. your music has touched my heart all my life. i just love you. stephanie williamson mennecke
God put sir Elton here for a reason, his music brings us closer to God. This song really helped me when my fiance broke up with me. This song would come on and I would just feel so much better. Jesus loves you sir Elton and so do we :)
I remember growing up with this song/video being played on MTV...you know, when music videos got aired on that shit ass network. This song always made me feel like someone was wrapping a towel around me, right out of the dryer...and giving me the biggest hug they could ever give with both their arms and every inch of skin. I just felt like everything was going to be okay every time that I heard it. Thank you, Sir Elton John...from someone that hung on your every word and note.
He was at his luckiest times back then. 1995, he won an Oscar for "Can You Feel the Love Tonight". Next year, Maestro Pavarotti invited him to his all-stars charity concert. Bravo 👏
Do it, or move on. Sorry buddy, but don't get caught up on something if she can't see how great you are. Give it a shot or find someone who appreciates you
I had the pleasure to dine with him in Los Angeles once. I remember how closed he was until we laughed about “pappardelle with quail”. I was very shaken by his presence, enjoyed very much. Thanks Elton, u were one of those few i wanted to meet in my life.

I wish we could just identify as HUMAN!!! I wish I was there to see you sing this.... My favorite song from Sir Elton. God, you have great taste!

"I simply love you more than life itself......" so beautiful
The best live version of this song EVER! The piano solo is badass. Long live Sir Elton John!
Hello person from the past
I've seen him about 9 times since 1972 and never has he disappointed me. To me, the best performer ever!
I love Elton's music!
Gonna have to disagree, feel like Pink Floyd gives the best shows
Memphis blues
Love Sir Elton cindy...check out The Band. The song: Coyote - Joni Mitchell and The Band, hope you like.
I would love to go see him someday!!
The best version of this song ever. Effortless and amazing x
Elton John has given us countless classic tunes like this one that will live on and on....Rock n Roll royalty is who he is!
If you're watching this in 2021, I love you and you're not alone ...never !
Righ here with you my friend!
Hello from Paris (France)
@@danieleclauzel1674 Thanks Daniele...cheers !
Hey there from Italy 🥰
@@francescaferriani4185 Thanks Francesca...cheers!
The greatest. Saw him twice last year. I don't think there has been a better musician in pop/rock music in the last hundred years.
freddie maybe?

Cool!
So beautifully said, but i would hope this would be a universal message.
The feelings are all real, and all the same... It crosses all language barriers.
No matter the language, it’s music.
Elton John is simply the best there is. Plain and simple.
From the first time I heard Elton, I knew there would never be any more like this!
I like this song very much. I'm not a usual fan of Elton John but I really enjoy this performance. He's a real artist.
..Eu amo as músicas do Elton John.. todas lindíssimas músicas parabéns 🎊 amigo...
WOW, this is an AMAZING live performance!!!!!!!
I can't get enough of his eye brows goin' crazy when he sings.....it's awesome.
In this concert Elton sounds very nice. The mic fits him. Definitely this is the best sound of Elton's live voice.
Absolutely perfection no showmanship just an awesome performance 🙏
No matter what sensuality or color you are LOVE and music will make you FEEL LOVE!!!!!!
Elton John is amazing!!!
He did so many brilliant songs!
Music these days has gone so downhill compared to what it used to be like!
What a fantastic song! Elton surely is one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time.
Elton rocks. His voice is so strong and powerful, it's a great complement to his amazing piano skill.
I definitely see why the OP considers it the best version.
What a fabulous piano solo, and not to mention his voice sounds magnificent.
Saw Elton in Calgary with just a piano... nobody else. No sound other than the piano and he rocked the place for *3* hours.
Best concert I have ever seen. I wish he would do it again.
Sent my mother to Boston to see the same show, it was that good.
ELTON you rock bro. All the best.
It's scary how much Elton's voice has changed over the last 10 years this is so smooth and the solo is brilliant :)
I guess you realize he's still singing these songs in the same keys he recorded them in? that says a lot..
Wow. Amazinggggg.
Amazing VOICE and PIANO talent. Who can't love elton?
just simply amazing.
This is far and away one of my favorite songs of Elton's. He's amazingly, amazingly talented!!!
Sir.Elton John is very very big legend without any doubts ,,his wonderful songs are amazing FOREVER .
Just saw Elton John 2 nights ago at Rosemont's Allstate Arena. Did a great version of this song...I hadn't heard in over 10 years. Still my fav tune of his. Great artist, going strong at 66!!
This is probably the best version yet.....wow. So talented
The fact I get to see Sir Elton live this summer is something I honestly can't wait for above anything else. He's amazing.
There will never be another quite like Sir Elton John. May his music coninue on forever. Remember also "Man created god in his own image".
the best live perfomance i have ever seen.
This the best live version I heard. You can tell Elton is having a blast.
I consider this song to be one of his very best. I love the music and the sadness, it makes you melancholic.
Elton John, singer, songwriter, performer, extraordinaire. Wow! Thanks for posting!
Elton really is a musician to admire after all these years of playing the same brilliant songs he still gets into it and loves what he does. When he goes out of character(for lack of a better term) during his songs that is a subtle perk I love to see in an artist.
This really is the best version I've ever seen myself he didn't let his showmanship mess up the song he just played it and sung it perfectly 🙏
This is such an awesome performance! What a talented man Elton John is!!! Wow!
BLUES I GREW UP WITH … THE music of the South … expressing us … find us in it … live it … be it … that soul of us …we are going to live … in a live of us …love you because you are one of Gods …created to be you … fight the fight to be a one heard and loved as you are …
The man is a genius
Can't stop listening to his songs.
Amazing talent.
Hell yeah! I don't give a shit about his personal preferences, listen to his music and lyrics...he knows more about love than 99% of the people here.
im 15 and i've loved elton john since i was 4, This is real music.
Just come back here who has watched more than 10 times and who has heard more than 200 times. Elton always !!
One of the greatest songwriters of all time. awesome
But he only wrote music, he had a partner who was the lyricist.
He didn't write this
@Kevin Prima "JUST"
Yes. Bernie Taupin was indeed one of the best writers of all time.
Yusef Brown Does he write songs? I thought Bernie Taupin writes them?
Always loved this ! Thank you for sharing this gold.
Seen him 5 times in concert. Marvellous. Thé best! !!
An absolute masterpiece performance!

Exactly me
I can't wait to see him singing this live when I see him in Nov.
I love this song. Its probably one of the first songs I can remember hearing as a little girl.
It's one of my earliest music memories too! Grandads car, wiggling away in my child seat. Simpler times❤
Did he sing this for all of us far from our loved ones? If so he did incredibly well!!
Still makes me cry, after all these years.
Live for each second without hesitation..... More than ever, I simply love you more than I love life itself....
This man is such an inspiring lyrical/musical genius, and this world is a much richer place with his talent wafting through it. May God bless Sir Elton John
I love this song it sounds fantastic live thanks for posting this video
Sir Elton John is guinine talent, he's got the voice and everything!!

This is real music.
You're 22 now.
What a superb singer.
Yes! The best version I have ever seen! So much impressed... Thank you!! I remember he came here with Billy Joel and had a great concert in Tokyo way back before...
the first year of sobriety his songs are all I had, Love ya sir Elton and thank you from the bottom of my heart. This song help keep me sober .
NOW I understand why people are willing to pay so much to see an Elton John concert!! That piano solo just made my jaw drop.
I've seen him 10 times in concert. Sometimes just him and his piano, and others like this with the band. He NEVER has disappointed! Worth every cent.
I always remember my friend Phil when I hear this song.
Elton für dieses Lied muß man sich im Nachhinein noch bedanken. Für mich ist dies einfach nur Kult.
Danke!!!
un super cantante y unas canciones excelentes
amazing !
One of the best concerts I've attended is the "Face To Face" tour with Billy Joel and Elton John. Fantastic, outstanding, soul-stirring! :)
thank God (or whatever you believe in) that a few of these special people were placed on this earth...and very special Mr. Elton John is and always will be!!
I love that song
Tiens ! V'là celui qui chante en play back........
Neth a.r.
Elton John is an amazing talent..his live performances are as good and most time better than his studio recordings..great posting....thanks !
The best version I've ever heard as well. He's totally into it. Thanks for posting!!!!
Have you heard the Live in Australia version? It’s amazing, at least for me.

sounds good after a million listens
before I leave this world Mr. Elton I will continue to try to male it my lifes work to see you in concert. your music has touched my heart all my life. i just love you. stephanie williamson mennecke
Well he is performing his farewell tour this year. 2018 is your last chance to see Elton John perform live.
Im in the same boat. This is his farewell tour so lets get on it. Who cares how much the tickets are :)
This is really the best version I've seen!
God put sir Elton here for a reason, his music brings us closer to God. This song really helped me when my fiance broke up with me. This song would come on and I would just feel so much better. Jesus loves you sir Elton and so do we :)
I can relate to this song!
ELTON JOHN is just amazing. I didn't pay him my attention at first, but then I just realized he is an amazing artist! love!
Wow. Simply one of the BEST songs EVER MADE. Such a REMARKABLE TALENT.
I remember growing up with this song/video being played on MTV...you know, when music videos got aired on that shit ass network.

This is my absolute favourite Elton John track. Absolutely brilliant. I saw him live at Hove, UK on Sunday and he is amazing, love him.
He was at his luckiest times back then. 1995, he won an Oscar for "Can You Feel the Love Tonight". Next year, Maestro Pavarotti invited him to his all-stars charity concert. Bravo 👏
thanks for posting this! had chills the entire time i was watching this. its a shame live performances arent like this nowadays.
thanks mama for show this REAL music..this IS Music..!!...
Fantastic
An absolute classic. Unfortunately this is my song to the girl I'm absolutely crazy about, but will never be given the chance.
Peter Duggan go for it
Do it, or move on. Sorry buddy, but don't get caught up on something if she can't see how great you are. Give it a shot or find someone who appreciates you
Lucky lady. I wish someone liked me that much. But not in a creepy way ha ha ha. I don't want a stalker.
Same bro 😪
is that so
I had the pleasure to dine with him in Los Angeles once.
I remember how closed he was until we laughed about “pappardelle with quail”.
I was very shaken by his presence, enjoyed very much.
Thanks Elton, u were one of those few i wanted to meet in my life.
Bullshit
Best I have heard. I dont know about any commercial, just stumbled accross lol.
Im straight and love elton john hes amazing and an inspiration, to hell with homophobes
