Elton's early songs were superb, lyrics by Bernie Taupin. Hope you can experience "Tiny Dancer" "Levon" "Madman across the Water." "Rocket Man" & many others
@@moparman1962the chemistry is undeniable as well as the great songs they produced. But Elton was a music machine. He could crank out music to lyrics in 15 minutes. He later wrote hit songs with Gary Osborne and Tim Rice for the Lion King. Would he have been the superstar he ended up being without Bernie if he met another good lyricist? Would that lyricist have had the words that got the best music out of Elton? The songs would have been different, but would they have been good or great? No way to know. My guess is that this was destiny and if it hadn’t happened, Elton would have never reached anything near the heights he did. He also would have been without Bernie’s friendship which he sites as the most important relationship in his life. Just my humble analysis of a scenario I’m glad never materialized because oh what we would have missed!
I was about 10 years old when I first heard this song and knew it would be my wedding song one day. Many years later, it was our wedding song! I'm now a widow! This song is beyond beautiful!
...now that you have experienced Elton John's "Your Song", you should experience a similar (and equally great) song by Bread entitled "If" ...these 2 songs came out within a few years of each other with the same emotional impact. These songs came out during my high school days and made a lasting impression on my life... Please keep up the great work...I always enjoy your reactions...!
Yes Bernie Turpin wrote the lyrics, but Elton added the piano chords. The delivery of this beautiful song is timeless. I have loved this song since the first time I heard it. What an absolute tribute this song is ❤❤
Elton is my favorite artist! I first saw him in concert in 1974 in Atlanta, Georgia, I was only 12 I went with my big brother, my brother was killed in Vietnam a year later! I always thing of him when I hear this song because it was his favorite! God Bless!
I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. My late father served 2 tours, in VIET - NAM, he was a sniper, during my dads second tour, dad was seriously injured. Lost 2 fingers and his stomach was partially destroyed he was taken to Japan, then to Walter reed medical ctr. Dad retired with 27 years of service. May your courageous brother, forever rest in heavenly peace. My dad, passed away 6 years ago. God bless you and your family.
Hey Joy-Jean! So glad you did this song. It's so fantastic and one of my favorites of all-time. You pick great reaction songs. Thank you for your content!
Elton has so many GREAT songs. One of the greatest of all time. Since you liked this beautiful song, I think you would like Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are". Billy is another GREAT singer/songwriter, who used to tour with Elton.
Hi, Yes it is wondeful your in the world. As you make me happy, showing your raw and honest emotions. God bless you. Stay safe from Covid-19 to you and your loved ones.
I tend to have a high level of empathy which makes spotting it very easy. You are an absolute angel of a human being. Not many people have a natural love for people the way you do. It makes you're reactions great. You're beautiful
Another great live song , nicely reacted . Can I ask you and your followers to take a look at a beautiful live recording by Eva Cassidy’ somewhere over the rainbow’ This lady is truly a angel , sadly no longer with us . The recording is recorded in a bar , she never wanted the fame so kept her profile small . She really only got discovered after her death .. just take a look if you can it’s reminds us all of our lives . Thanks
One of my favorite songs, Others include "Tiny Dancer" and I know others will suggest other songs as he has so many back to back hits. I would also add that he appeared in the movie of 'The Who's' rock opera Tommy and performs the song "Pinball Wizard"
hello again my friend and as all ways have nice music and I love all your feed back if I may suggest to you a song ( 74 - 75 ) by the Connels or even ( come pick me up ) by Ryan Adams peace and love my friend
If you wanna check out a Beautiful song for a Beautiful Woman (You),check out steelheart's I'll never let you go!!! Just a suggestion for you Beautiful Woman...😘
Empress great reaction.....Congratulations on 40k Subs,next stop 50k.....Great song....Can you please do a video reaction to the song You Should Be Dancing by The Bee Gees....One of the Bee Gees best songs....Thank you and have a good day....
Elton claims that he doesn't ask Bernie Taupin what his lyrics are about. He told Rolling Stone: "I always thought 'Your Song' was written about one of his girlfriends, and when I asked him that, he just said, 'No it wasn't!' He gets fairly defensive." Could you please react to Burn for you by John Farnham
Empress, You might want to check out the official video of "Tiny Dancer" on Elton John's UA-cam channel. A really excellent video and an excellent song. Here's the link if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/yYcyacLRPNs/v-deo.html
Empress...Elton could definitely sing very well AND play the piano very well, he just had those gifts...but the man could NOT write good song lyrics on his own, his many hit songs and his whole career were thanks to his partner in music, Bernie Taupin, who wrote the songs for Elton to arrange and perform. Bernie gave some feedback about the arrangements Elton came up with and their partnership just worked.
Complete Rubbish. Bernie Taupin has been writing lyrics for Elton for over 50 years. They were introduced when Bernie and Elton both answered ads as teenagers. Bernie wanted to write songs but needed someone To write music; Elton wrote music but had trouble with lyrics. So Bernie would give Elton the lyrics and Elton would compose the music for it in about 20 minutes. Bernie is a GREAT lyricist but has zero musical talent let alone “arranged the music for Elton to perform.” Elton also worked with other lyricist including Tim Rice for “The Lion King.” I thought you might find that interesting to know.

Yes, without Bernie Taupin there would never have been an Elton John, or the many hit songs.

Never get tired of hearing this song and I'm 62
I was about 10 years old when I first heard this song and knew it would be my wedding song one day. Many years later, it was our wedding song! I'm now a widow! This song is beyond beautiful!
A unique, and instantly recognizable voice.
Another great Elton John song is”can you feel the love tonight”
Just another classic love song that you will never forget ❤
The perfect combination - listening to a beautiful song and watching a beautiful woman.

Young Elton touching many hearts 💕.
❤ "Your Song" is also part of the soundtrack of "Moulin Rouge" by Baz Luhrmann (2001)... in the movie the song was performed by Ewan McGregor...
The best love song ever written
You would also love Jim Croce "I Have to Say I Love You In a Song"

Elton kept a journal. The day he wrote this his journal entry read: Did nothing today, accomplished nothing. True story
I think he casually mentioned in that entry “wrote Your Song.”
Thanks my dear I love this one personally., Love your outfit.
Getting old really socks, I remember elton at that age ,just two years younger than him. Such great memories
If you don't mind getting teary-eyed, I bet you'd like Cat Stevens, "How Can I Tell You". 🌹👼
Omg you are so beautiful. 😀 Greetings from Norway.
Al Jarreau's cover of Your Song is also an absolute gem....
some peoples eyes you dont bother to notice, some you know the color, and some eyes are so beautiful you miss the details
Hey Joy-Jean! So glad you did this song. It's so fantastic and one of my favorites of all-time. You pick great reaction songs. Thank you for your content!
Delightful reaction. Thanks.
Elton has so many GREAT songs. One of the greatest of all time. Since you liked this beautiful song, I think you would like Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are". Billy is another GREAT singer/songwriter, who used to tour with Elton.

Takes me way back to my childhood. Elton John (Dwight Reginald) is very young here.
you have it backwards,,,,,,,its Reginald Dwight
One of my favorite songs, Others include "Tiny Dancer" and I know others will suggest other songs as he has so many back to back hits. I would also add that he appeared in the movie of 'The Who's' rock opera Tommy and performs the song "Pinball Wizard"
Wow nearly 50yrs ago! Seems like months ago
Pop Tops, "Mamy Blue"
11/17/70, TUMBLE WEED CONNECTION & MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER ARE HIS BEST, LYRICS BY BERNIE TAUPIN
Elton John is one of those artists that makes what they do look so easy that it irritates me LOL. But this is such a beautiful song...great choice!
What a great reaction. Please do “The Last Song” by Elton. Another great love song with a little twist. You’ll love it
Absolutely love this song and absolutley love your reaction to it!!.. says alot about U.. peace and love :)
You should do Elton's "Island Girl"
It’s such a beautiful song 💝 It suits you
Empress,it is lovely to see you back,Best Wishes Ian.
Every girl in my day, thought he was singing it to her. 💕
Mr y
Youyp
Tour
Get to enjoy you again! Yay!! This is one of his best songs. Have always loved it. 😊🌹🌹🌹
Truly epic: Ewan MacGregor covering this in _Moulin Rouge_.
Elton is the GOAT - greatest of all time - of singer/songwriters.
That is truly beautiful, thank you! 😎
He can't remember if her eyes are green or blue because he sees her with his heart. The heart does not see colors.
Sweet reaction
hello again my friend and as all ways have nice music and I love all your feed back if I may suggest to you a song ( 74 - 75 ) by the Connels or even ( come pick me up ) by Ryan Adams peace and love my friend
Hi Ms. Empress, I think "Your Song" and "Goodbye Norma Jean" are two of Mr. Elton's best songs.. ♠W.G.

Another great reaction Empress. If you want a classic love song, try I can't give you anything by The Stylistics.
I prefer "You Make Me Feel Brand New"
Empress,Listen to Amy Winehouse Rehab or back to Black
🤘🏻😎
Babes what happened to the Elton John of yesterday. I was certain I watched it here.
Some songs are so great that you think maybe God wrote it and just used the artist to put it out. This is one of them.
Please react to Al Steward , The Year of the cat! You will love it!
Hi, try Sad Song, by Elton John
Elton claims that he doesn't ask Bernie Taupin what his lyrics are about. He told Rolling Stone: "I always thought 'Your Song' was written about one of his girlfriends, and when I asked him that, he just said, 'No it wasn't!' He gets fairly defensive."
Could you please react to Burn for you by John Farnham
Please react to Biko by Peter Gabriel. Its a tribute to the brilliant Steve Biko!
Try reacting to Elton John's 'Sacrifice'.
😁
Easily one of his top 3 of all time.To me,anyway.

Good song but you should have reacted to the studio version All the right notes are hit Later!
Can you do a reaction to Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers?
Empress...Elton could definitely sing very well AND play the piano very well, he just had those gifts...but the man could NOT write good song lyrics on his own, his many hit songs and his whole career were thanks to his partner in music, Bernie Taupin, who wrote the songs for Elton to arrange and perform.

What happened here? Why is this a repost?
Sorry, It was mistakenly taken down.
@@EMPRESSJOYJEAN oh okay. No problem here I just didn't know what happened.

Careful of your edits ;)
"He`s so cute" MMm You do realise he`s gay ?
Gay man sings song about love for a woman. Guess world wasn't ready yet.
