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.
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 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.
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
A very young Elton with that golden voice. he looks and sounds wonderful. And he still does. Standing ovation to this superstar.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
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.
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 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.
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"
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………..
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.
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
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.
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!!
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!😉
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.
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.
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.
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.
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😊👍🏻
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.
@@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 🤣🤣🤣
@@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?
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!
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.
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 cant believe that a song this f*cking beautiful was made so long ago, his voice just hits the best part of your heart and soul and I love how this song gives a cinematic vibe to it
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.
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 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....
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
Esse artista no início de carreira foi muito humilhado por alguns produtores da época mais lutou e venceu. Um grande guerreiro. Lutou até o fim e conseguiu.
