    "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding"-- an absolute masterpiece; "Take Me to the Pilot"--one of his early gems that is seemingly always ignored among his great songs.; "Get Up and Dance"--lives up to its title; his rendition from his 1980 concert in Central Park is him at his best in a live format and shows him at his wackiest--he does the song in a Donald Duck outfit.😂

    Fun fact. During the 1970s when Dusty Springfield was going through a rough time personally and professionally, she often sang back-up on Elton's songs under the pseudonym, "Gladys Thong". She used this name in the 1960s as well. Dusty, Cat Stevens, and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys were the original backup singers on this song but it didn't work out so Toni Tennille (of Captain & Tennille fame), and Carl Wilson and Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys ended up singing on it.

My dad (RIP) played a grand piano in our living room and I would lie under it while he played, so I've always had a heart for piano music. Elton was one of his and my favorites. My dad ever wore glasses and went through a "glasses" phase like Elton did back in the 70's. So much good music came out of that genre! ❤

    I used to put a candle in front of a speaker and watch it as the song play. A little touch of 'Skunk' and seeing the flame dance was wow. I noticed that sometimes when violins hit different notes and held them the flame would quit dancing and stand up really tall. Well, the Skunk didn't hurt either. The other thing was getting that flimsy plastic off of clothes from the cleaners. You twist it kind of tight then put a simple knot every 8 inches or so. Tape it to the ceiling and light the bottom with a bowl of water under it. The visual and sounds are very cool. Gotta be at night in a dark room.

    Elton John. So many amazing songs. He has more great songs on individual albums than most bands have in their career. Not many bands/singers come close to matching the quality, innovativeness, and quantity of what he has done. Truly one of the best. He has left us a gift that will live forever.

    Lyrics: [Verse 1] I can't light no more of your darkness All my pictures seem to fade to black and white I'm growin' tired, and time stands still before me Frozen here on the ladder of my life [Verse 2] Too late to save myself from falling I took a chance and changed your way of life But you misread my meanin' when I met you Closed the door and left me blinded by the light [Chorus] Don't let the sun go down on me (Don't let the sun) Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life (Don't let the sun) to wander free But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me [Verse 3] I can't find, oh, the right romantic line But see me once and see the way I feel Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm But these cuts I have, oh, they need love to help them heal [Chorus] Don't let the sun go down on me (Don't let the sun) Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life (Don't let the sun) to wander free But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Don't let the sun go down on me (Don't let the sun) Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life (Don't let the sun) to wander free, yeah But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me

    Jay & Amber, I just wanted to chime in and tell you that I agree with so many of the people who commented about the live duet version that George Michael & Elton John did of this song: if you loved the original studio version, you will ABSOLUTELY LOVE the live version! You can almost feel the electricity that must have been in the air that night (The audience had NO IDEA that Sir Elton was even THERE!) and I think the live version is about 5 times more powerful! You guys should DEFINITELY do a reaction to it!!!!

    I have an indelable memory of sitting in the backseat while riding around with friends and just reveling in this song. I was really down for some reason and this song gave all of the emotions I needed to feel...lonely, unloved, depressed...whether I actually had any reason to feel those things or not, we all go through it. Hearing this song at that time was like a 4 minute therapy session...lol. I've held a special place in my heart for this song ever since. Elton's ballads like "Rocket Man," "Someone Saved My Life Tonight," "Your Song," "Daniel" and others sort of defined the era, in many ways. Loved your reaction. Keep it up!

    BEST VERSION EVER of this song. I was 14 years old the first time i heard this song when it was debuted in 1974. I became an instant long time loyal fan. 1974 ....next year will be 50 years of being a loyal diehard fan of EJ. My favorite music by him is from 1969 to 1981. His voice then was my favorite ever of his. It changed years ago but i still went to see him in concert several times. The best of all time without question. My next favorite songs is "Someone Save My Life Tonight" The drums in that song are fabulous!! Nigel Olsen always my favorite drummer for Elton throughout much of Elton's career. "Blues For Baby and Me" I love countless songs by him. I put on the early Elton John music, crank it up and just drift away with the music .❤🎹❤🎶❤

And all the musicians complementing Elton’s piano. It’s just a special song for the ages.
