I would like to thank sir Elton John for writing this lovely piece of music. I was a ballerina. My husband was a music man. I used to live near the boulevard and loved it. Danced in the sand at the beach. My husband sang this song to me lots before he passed. And now I'm still his tiny dancer in the sand.

As a child growing up in the late 70's, my Dad loved listening to Elton John. My Dad passed away back in 2009, January 13th was his Birthday. I was pretty bummed out just wishing he was here. As I walked into a gas station to pay for gas with my Dad deep on my mind, "Tiny Dancer" is playing over the gas station radio intercom. Goosebumps, a tear, then a smile across my face. Thank you God, Dad, and everyone else watching from above, it let me know you are still watching me. I love you and miss you Dad.

My ex and I used to have this as 'our song'.. When we had broken up, he sent me this song of course saying "I want my tiny dancer back" ... We never could go back, we tried, but this song always reminds me of the love we did share way before it was time to move on. **A shout out to all those who have just gotten over a break up or going through one feeling and are feeling a bit lost xx There is light at the end, just keep searching peeps ☺️✌️ ☀️

Elton and Bernie had the best written songs of the 70s! Even to this day they all stand up to the test of time. The talent of Elton is so underappreciated in today’s musical world. I remember listening to his songs on the radio and then by buying the albums. Even if you didn’t like the song if you listen to it a few times you still realize it was awesomely great. Elton is a true icon and in a very small group of legends. Not unlike Tom Petty or Edward van Halen. I think I’m going to go listen to my Goodbye Yellowbrick Road album now. Which happens to be the first album I ever bought when I was around 12 years old. I bought it for Bennie and the jets. And what a jackpot that album turned out to be as far as great music. Thank you Elton for the hundreds of great well written songs.

When music was real and tasteful. This song strikes a chord deep in the heart and the instrumentation has a tremendous amount of substance. Enjoy this music because it will never be the same again.

Rock was new & everything effectively post 1980 was really flogging a very tired horse. To keep the equine references going, you then had one trick dancing ponies like Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Michael Jackson, etc. who swapped musical integrity for £'s in sinking music to its lowest common denominator. Modern music has been broken down to its key components & has nowhere near the melodic complexity or structural intensity of music from this era. There are some contemporary people I like - *Father John Misty* is a genius but generally my playlist doesn't get much past the 80's.

I want to be clear about that.

@@aka.gnese07 I think you may be right although you have to dig a lot deeper into the hills of modern music to find the gold. I am now officially getting old having just turned 60 but I have a son probably not far off your age who seems to think music had a lot more meaning & often stories attached to it back in the day. Two examples of this would be 4 songs he's been listening to of late from two artists. *Neil Young's* amazing "Alabama" & "Southern Man" were what caused *Lynyrd Skynyrd* to write "Sweet Home Alabama," Neil Young even gets called out in the song! The other example would be *James Taylor's* subliminal "Fire and Rain" written about the suicide of a close female friend. I don't know.... Things just had an integrity & authenticity to them back then & maybe a novel freshness & originally as Rock was only really a decade or so old! I even think music took the southern trajectory I think it is still on in the 80's when people started making music for the financial gain it could give them & maybe a perceived transient fame? It's just that people were consummate musicians & word smiths back in the day? Well done for apologising btw & congratulations on the use of my nation's language. 👍
