I love this song. I love the piano. I love his early stuff. This is a beauty.
My son took me to see Elton perform live, and it was a huge thrill. I love his songs and his voice....but, honestly....I would pay just to listen to him play his piano all night. Same thing with Billy Joel. (My son took me to him, too) Both play fantastic piano, and each has such a unique style. Each could play just a handful of notes....and I would know which was which. Elton is The Man, for sure.😊
Yes, great piano in this song.
You have a great son 😁🤘💚
My son tried to get tickets to hear Elton John. They were on a lottery basis and we lost. We have wonderful sond, don't we?💐
Yes their early stuff was the best.
HEY ANDREI & DOMINIKA😊, SO THIS WAS BERNIE'S ( BERNIE TAUPIN ) FIANCE AT THE TIME, SHE WOULD SEW COSTUMES OF ALLLLLL KINDS FOR ELTON IN THAT WILD 70'S DECADE, SEAMSTRESS FOR THE BAND! 😊
Taupin has described this song as a variety of references to things that caught his attention when he first arrived in Southern California.
My favorite Elton John song 🎵 ❤️
I love Elton John. His music runs through every decade of my life from my teens.
I love some of the early footage of him singing these songs 'live' on the BBC. Just Elton on the piano alone. From around 1971.
One of MY top 20 all time songs. Love the lyrics and his voice is so dynamic in this song.
Hello from Los Angeles! Loving your channel
Another super fab tune, "Your Song" In the 70's he was a "Super Star" before the term was really used. Elton, Carly Simon & Carol King were the heavy hitters in this genre. Nice Relaxing Reactions. Peace On Ya
I wish you would have reacted to the first official video which came out in May, 2017. The video follows 12 different people in Los Angeles from behind the wheels of their cars or skateboards. Each of these vignettes helps weave together a story about the people of Los Angeles, both happy and sad, dancing or struggling, that the melody and lyrics of "Tiny Dancer" lend themselves to. But filming "Tiny Dancer" throughout LA makes a lot of sense when you think about the inspiration for the song's lyrics. Elton's long-time lyricist Bernie Taupin originally wrote the song for his then-girlfriend, turned- first wife Maxine Feibelman the actual "seamstress for the band" after a trip to California with her in 1970. I did get to see Elton here in Las Vegas last year at his Farewell Tour. The first and last time at Allegiant Stadium. It was so very bittersweet to see and hear him. Great reaction. You two are such beautiful humans ❤️
His best song to me…..
From the same album,, A must hear classic,, Elton John "Levon" ❤
And Indian Sunset
This is the Elton I fell in love with. Yes, Dom, the early Elton is the best!
Before you said that I could feel in your expression that was what you were feeling. Beautiful moment. 👍💙
Early Elton John albums mean the most to me, and this album especially.
There are so many Elton songs to explore. If he is not the best exponent of pop music, he is close, at least he is the most prolific. I would recommend listening to "Tonight" accompanied by a big orchestra.
I enjoy watching you enjoying these songs I grew up with. Your smiles are so beautiful. ❤😊 thank you. Enjoy your day. And yes, L.A. was cool back in the day.
THAT'S FUNNYYYY WHEN YOU SAID THAT DOMENIQA CAUSE ( BERNIE ) WAS COUNTRY AND ( ELTON ) WAS CITY 😊1 COUNTRY BOY AND 1 CITY BOY ( CAPTAIN FANTASTIC AND THE BROWN DIRT COWBOY ) GREAT TITLE ALBUM TRACK👍 AND THE HUGE HIT SONG ON THAT WAS ( SOMEONE SAVED MY LIFE TONIGHT )😊
a big fan. you hit it out of the park. thank you for that.
My favourite Elton John song! Thank you for reacting & cheers from Canada.
Come to LA and stay near the beach. We have an extra room for you two
For us in Central Europe this was the b-side of the "then futuristic" single Rocket Man; as a teenager I loved both of these completely different songs; a 6:17 masterpiece. Today I'm amazed at how well this song is remastered so that you can hear every instrument clearly. Previously I only took the piano and a sound carpet in the background.
Have a good start to the week!
All his early albums are very good this is my favorite album of his
This is my favorite EJ album! I've been listening to it since the early 70's. I don't care for his later stuff as much either.
For all the emphasis on piano, the sweetness of this tune is carried almost entirely by the brilliant use of pedal steel (or perhaps lap) steel guitar.
Elton writes the music and Bernie Taupen writes all the Lyrics, the song is about Bernie’s wife who was a Ballerina, when you listen to the lyrics it’s quite self explanatory once you know the back story.
For some more earlier EJ and BT, try "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters" or one of my early favs "Where To Now, St. Peter". Both are vocally interesting and have great hooks.
I love your description, Dominika, of how this song strikes you ❣️🎶💜
Quite a unique structure this song. Its simply one shortish song performed twice - same verses, same chorus. Anyone who likes this should watch the great movie Almost Famous, when all the warring band members sing this together on the tour bus.
Madman from across the big Atlantic pond ?
Artists grow, change, evolve just like everyone else. Elton has certainly stood the test of time, so he must be doing something right.
His early stuff is fantastic. His album “Friends” the soundtrack for the movie of the same name is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard and I agree I don’t like his most recent stuff as much .
I don't see anyone else recounting the story so I will butt in. I think this was written as a gift to the band member & the member of their crew he was dating. Later on as they planned to get married, I was meant to be their wedding song. But they did a few 'trial balloons' & decided to put it on an album as well. One version of the story anyway.
Elton blown away in La La Land ?
You want real early checkout the song “Empty Sky”
The steel guitar makes this song.
Please react to "Ticking" by Elton John. Great reaction!
The lyrics were written for the woman Bernie Taupin was dating at the time.
If you have not seen it there is a video on YT from back during the time when they were working on this song. Elton sitting at piano explains he wanted to work on this song because Bernie wrote it about his girlfriend. Then he explains how he comes up with the music to match the lyrics that Bernie wrote. Very interesting.

If this song doesn't make you a fan then you might want to get your hearing checked. 😊
Dominique I think maybe if you knew a little bit more about SIR Elton, you might be more interested in his catalog, which is one of the deepest of any artist. His career spans 61 years, sold 300 million albums, & is the most successful solo artist in the history of the US Billboard charts. Not bad for an English guy. Name any award involving music and he's won it.
So why so successful? Elton from childhood could play difficult compositions on the piano simply by ear. He wet from studying at the Royal Academy of Music, playing in pubs, to being a session player. Here's the cool part...
"In 1967, John answered an advertisement in the British music paper New Musical Express, placed by Ray Williams, then the A&R manager for Liberty Records. At their first meeting, Williams gave John an unopened envelope of lyrics written by Bernie Taupin, who had answered the same ad. John wrote music for the lyrics and then sent it to Taupin, beginning a partnership that still continues." And that's how possibly the most successful partnership in music began. Bernie would write lyrics and out them in a briefcase. Elton would take them & sit down at the piano and just like that begin playing music to fit the words. Incredible right?
I think I've watched you react enough to know which songs of his you might like. You seem to enjoy songs that get you moving more than ballads:
Benny and the Jets
Crocodile Rock
Philadelphia Freedom
But for a great ballad-
"Your Song" is beautiful
"Rocket Man"
"Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" is ELTON'S song from 1974 however George Michael released it in '93 featuring Elton. The video of them on YT is very popular for reactors.
All of them are early songs!!!
Good luck 🩷
Thank you for the info ☺️💚
Bernie Taupin would write the lyric's and Elton John would take and could compose the music for a completed song most of the time in 10 minutes
She doesnt Listen to The Lyrics, OMG.
its a different sound because he could sing and hit higher pitch much easier when he was a lot younger. . . if he sang the way he does now back then he would not have become famous or sold many records
not a fan>..you missed out.. sorry about that
