Katherine Pettit Yess.. I’m touch while Archie William was singing this song. God Bless you Archie 🙏❤️

baby you said that he did 37 years in jail for something he did not do the lord is good

BJ

So true, he gave it a trully new meaning, a sentimental, sad but hopeful meaning

For me he made it about a actual a hole. Sounds a bit wierd but that's what I think he was talking about . The special place between the legs that's been used and taken for a ride multiple times . Ignored at times . Opened beyond repair in a way that nothing that doesn't cause serious injury has any geek left. That's my interpretation thanks take care

Straighten up soldier your in the Marine core.while your down there might as well give me fifty.🙇.

Get a grip Carlos

I bet now you realise the sun comes up back on you and you have to keep on walking… all the best

Me to great song

Never, ever again!

What’s the story?

+Elaine Frei That is a great story!

His talent is virtually immeasurable.

+Elaine Frei If only I was born sooner. I would have gone to see him.

oh lucky!!! wish I was already born that time lol

+Elaine Frei that sounds dope!

Amen.

Amen! ❤️

Agree...the message is so deep...

Time changes an so do we

me too

There are many just like him still in prison today we must act not just feel

@@kolikari3813 Many who served time and were not guilty as well. I did over 4 years and did not do the crime. The judiciary system has always been for only the rich or well connected.

@@tonydio666 so fuckin true & unfair

I can't listen to this song and not to think of that man! God bless him!!

I hope you're still listening in 2023. I am. At 59.

He’s done with the U.S. he doesn’t understand Florida’s anti gay grooming stance. Like Neil young great music, but wrong in the real world, he s saying the u.s. is “against us”. NO GAY GROOMING IN FLORIDA ON OUR LITTLE KIDS, Elton Loser John, NONE,!! Off our kids!!! @@rick86508

Sir Elton is timeless as is Bernie Taupin, who I would put up there with Paul and John, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen , Paul Simon as Mount Olympus of songwriting

Stay strong im a felon showing love. I was set up. I have freedom now had to do my time n no evidence of my innocent

@@jessica23jessica that's awesome what state?

You stay strong. Like Archie said, never let your mind be imprisioned... and yes, Jesus love you. Much love to you Zahir

@@sharonsmith5511 thanks a lot it's truly heartfelt

Go Archie👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

ikarooz True... but who was the bottom?

Canned Tuna rotflmao

Can't argue with that

The brass at the ending crescendo truly makes the song!

And I'd have to disagree with EJ, I think this IS one of their best albums!

Elton plays parts of the piano part and does a marvelous job. Studio musicians like Leon Russell. Is this the one where Glen Campbell played a guitar part?

Have a beautiful Grateful life Jim Harris 🙏💞✨💖🎵🎶🎵♥️

​@@harpoon_bakery162 If that's true, I never knew. Rip Glen Campbell💖✨🎶🎵🙏

I was born in 90' and I'm not into "modern music" .....this song cuts me to the core the best way. ..this song describes almost everything I or "we" is going through.. beautiful....never give up , never lose hope.....because WE are worth it....don't tell yourself your not capable or worthy.....peace

R. S. Kurtz stupid, BC sex has nothing to do with his ability

Agreed! Always loved his music!

Because they have a dick in their asses. Elton John is awesome

Somebody said something about Elton John's being gay? Who cares? Doubt that he's losing any sleep over that, the hall of fame needs a special category for him!

Because people are stupid and can't mind their own bussiness and like to impose their beliefs and values on others. My step father LOVED Elton and had a collection of his music. When Elton came out, my step dad broke his CDs and burned them. Like I said, not only bigoted but stupid,bc he could have sold them or given them to a friend. Suffice to say, he was a terrible husband and father as well...even to his biological kids.

There are people who love you and look upto you. Maybe you haven't had the chance to realize that yet.

took Mommy to go see it

Mario Hinsche maybe I could help... would like to try...if that matters. People do care, just ask

Mario Hinsche your not alone I lost my dad and my mom 6 years apart from each other! Time doesn’t heal this pain! Sending you strength

Mario,I understand I lost my Dad in 2013,, which took part of me, he was the only one who never judged me no matter what and loved me unconditionally, as I am. I'll see you soon Dad..

Yes he & GM UNREAL!!!! 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

can you make out whos on the back ground vocals???

@@j.peters3053 the Beach Boys

Absolute agree! ... And, GO "B"s!!!

Yess Boston Strong!! 617 power

Elton is a genius at piano.

What gets me is the base guitar in it. It's way better than this rap base now a days.

Thank you for serving this country ❤

The ending always sends shivers up my spine - one of the most dramatic endings ever!!

Elton and Bernie were a pair given to us by God (in my opinion) because all the songs like Your Song, Don't Let the Sun, Rocket Man, Daniel, Candle in the Wind and on and on all speak to the heart and touch us and bring back memories like few other songs do, but Elton/Bernie seemed to have a knack for doing it over and over, Someone Saved my Life, Funeral for a Friend, Levon....... He (they) gave us so much.

You just aren’t listening to the right music

Derek Jones - it helps me reset to ❤️ life every day . & get my work done.

Derek Jones music will always speak to peoples soul no matter what generation it is from. Music clmes from the soul. All of it.

I’m going out for dinner.

Linda Hoyt... Yes. Bernie was the best partner who contributed to his success by writing songs that still stand strong! I hope they are still friends regardless.

But his register is lower now. Still good but different energy. He's a legend.

same with me ! I was praying and some of the lyrics kept coming to my mind, so I decided to really check the lyrics and WOW !

Chloe Picasso ....always made me get that lump in my throat..!! Just a nostalgic song..!

i fekt the same. i didn't play the song myself but last night on thecway to get sone pizza dinner for my children? the song came on thecradio & itcwas suddenly full of meaning and it was so meamingful i wanted to cry too! but it was all i could do not to cry bec my real life son was in the car with me & i HABE to BE STRONG FOR MY 2 SONS & FOR MY DAUGHTER. THESE 3 ARE MY FIRST & MY ONLY REAL RESPONSIBILITIES IN LIFE. I MADE MY FIRST COMMITMENT TO TAKE CARE OF MY FIRST CHILD WHEN MY Daughter​ Was Born!!!!!!! I SAID To Myself THIS IS IT!!!! THIS TIME I HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANOTHER PERSON'S LIFE NOW! & I Said I CAN'T EVER BACK Down​ NOW OR GET OUT OF THIS ONE NOW! & I TOLD GOD NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS NOW???? I WILL Have TO DO MY VERY BEST NOT TO EVER LET MY CHILDREN DOWN! BECAUSE THEY Deserve A GOOD LIFE HERE & ONLY GOD CAN BLESS Them OR GIVE Them WHAT THEY REALLY Want OR FULFILL Their DREAMS IN THIS LIFE!!!! BUT MY JOB IS CLEAR & IF YOU BRING A CHILD INTO THIS WORLD?

SOONEST EVER I KNOW I AM FIRST IN LINE FOR GOD NOW!!! & Some OF US ARE FIRST IN Line FOR GETTING GOD'S LOVE OR FINDING SOMETHING OR SOMEONE I BOTH TRULY LOVED AND WANTED IN TRUTH NOW!!!!!!! & because CHRISTIAN CHILDREN CAN'T DO Anything​ FOR THEMSELVES! & IT IS AFTER I HAD CHILDREN THAT I WAS FORCED TO CHANGE FROM BEING "IRRESPONSIBLE" TO "Responsible FOR ANOTHER LIFE HERE"!!! & YOU CAN NO LONGER BE JUST "CARELESS" OR "CAREFREE" AFTER Having CHILD!! & IT, THESE 3 CHILDREN?/THEY HAVE Been MY BIGGEST RESPONSIBILITY IN MY LIFETIME NOW!! BUT IN Contacting GOD? I Found THERE MIGHT Be A TERRIBLE TERRIFYING Scariest EVER TO ME AGAINST ME TYPE OF UNFAIR ADVANTAGE TYPE OF HORRIBLE HORRIFYING COMPETITION GOING ON NOW FOR EVEN Finding GOD!!! & Should WE ALL HAVE TO SEARCH High AND LOW SEARCH EVERYWHERE JUST TO BE FOND OF GOD IN OUR LIVES???? NO!!!! IF Your Prayers AREN'T BEING ANSWERED!! IF YOUR REQUESTS AREN'T Being HONORED??? IF PEOPLE ARE Treating YOU LIKE YOU ARE LESS THAN THEY ARE LESS THAN THEY ARE??? IF THEY ARE MISTREATING YOU & TREATING YOU LESS THAN WHAT YOU DESERVE??? IF THEY SEEM TO Consider US Lesser OR NOT EQUAL TO HOW THEY FEEL About THEMSELVES???? THEN TRUST YOUR Feelings!!! THEN YOU ARE "RIGHT" ABOUT IT!!! & BEING "RIGHT" ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS Here CAN SOMETIMES BE Very PAINFUL!! Painful AWARENESS IS MUCH BETTER FOR ANY OF YOU & IS BETTER FOR US Than APATHY OR CARELESSNESS OR DARKNESS FOR ANY OF US? & IF You EVER WANT TO EXPERIENCE JOY OR Greater Happiness​ IN Your LIFETIME?? THEN YOU MUST DO EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAN ALL That IS ON YOUR OWN POWER TO DO HERE ABOUT IT!! BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN ANYTHING I WANTEX IR ANYONE I CAN LOVE YET IN MY LIFETIME NOQ OF TRYINH LOKKING & SEARCHONH FOR IT!! & YOU MUST NOT GIVE UP ALL HOPE FOR IT!!

Holy fuck lady. We don’t give a shit about your life plan, or what you fucking think about god

Huntie Blunty LMAO

Yesssssssssssssssss!!!!!!

I claimed that in Jesus name.....he deserves to be happy

SEMPER FI BROTHER i NEVER FELT THE LYRICS UNtil i was blessed by being able to learn how to love. THANK YOU LISA MY WIFE

Jeff White Marines make good husbands. The girl that sent me the dear john letter, has been married 4 times, since 1974. Im proud to day Ive only been married one time since 1981, Semper Fi.

...Elton sent you one too?....while you was in the Marines!?....thats very sad....good thing you found that pitbull.

Ive heard Trump is trying to get a law passed making it a federal offense to reject a partner while they are in service of our country.

Larry Warnock that's the dumbest lie ever read.

He had a wonderful voice but after surgery on his vocal chords he wasn't the same.

He still has a great voice !!!

@@msjesusfreak62 , he still has a great VOICE

Best chord changes ever ..... maybe my favorite melody of all time. I once heard E.J. and George Michael take turns singing stanzas of this song. John's voice was SO much better !

SAM CASINO Yeah, but only for the UK

+moorek1967 More like half the globe loves his music, the person you really have to thank is Bernie Taupin for most of all these song.

+moorek1967 I think overall, he's more popular over here, but that was in his early days and might have changed since then. Then again, his early days were his best...

+Marc Davey 100% spot on! Bless both of them, Bernie Taupin and Elton John.

+moorek1967 He belongs to the world.

O

+MsCordially - I totally agree!! Excellent song! He's an awesome musician !!

MsCordially yes mscordially Bernie and rege were or are one hell of a writing /composing team!

MsCordially kid rock

MsCordially I agree Bernie and reg are or were one hell of a writing team

I saw a show where they gave him the instructions to a washing machine (True!!) then asked him to write a tune to the words writen. He did it on the spot and it was HILARIOUS but it was also GOOD. You could see right there how insanely talented he was with music. That he could come up with something coherent in mere seconds. Give the guy a few days?? No wonder he is the legend he is. He's a genius.

For us, it was 'don't let your mom' XD

Those are songs that my mom loves so much, i live all her good times we together .. i understand her like like it was happend to me also.. i love those great times that i imagine that you have had like my mom also had..

All in good fun - no harm intended.

And who can forget that great line from Jimi Hendrix in 'Purple Haze' "....'scuse me while I kiss this guy.."

That is funny though....

leefi1 I think he wants to stay out of the spotlight. Elton credits him plenty but Bernie is happy having a more private life.

I agree, he has always chosen to stay out of the spotlight

the hundred million dollars the royalties have brought him probably soothe the pain

no way in hell ...elton would of had top songs without of bernies writings...elton always said he wasnt a song writer and bernie was such a perfect fit to elton, idk if he was ever credited to anyone else...i need to google that lol

elton was nothing without bernie, he admits that

😁

I've always loved this song

Taylor George I agree

no

How so ?

Like explanation points, making a clsoing conclusion, to the music & lyrics.

My fave part

Agreed

I love this song, it's one of my favorites but to me the best version is absolutely with George Michael!

I think that version is very amazing but for me, the best version is the 1986 live version of Elton John. So epic.

One of Elton's best song,Stephanie 👍

Patty Jackson Hi
