This is a great song, and takes me back to my youth. Your right about this being his greatest song, some of the best lyrics. Thank you so very much for posting!!!! Lilly, you have the greatest granddad in the world.
Ohh...I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it on the radio, and I'm guessing I was right around your age, Lilly. Elton John always seem to be able to bring out strong emotion from most of his songs. He's a brilliant artist❣️
Al Stewart, year of the cat, and time passages have some of the best saxophone you'll ever hear plus great musical arrangement and production and such well crafted lyrics, some of the best ever.
Lilly, this song is a gem. A great catalogue to explore. Amused with your mannerisms. Both of you enjoy your day. ...........................................................................................................................................list " Burning bridges" by Mike Curb Congregation
Beautiful song....Smooth and clear. Elton always delivers no matter what Bernie Taupin writes. I assume Bernie wrote this. Always liked Eltons early tunes the best. I was around when all of his songs were released and most were hits. Cheers.
Your Song is a truly beautiful song. I, too, like his older songs better. I also like songs like Tiny Dancer. One great thing about Elton, especially back then, was he could do a wide variety of music...beautiful songs like this and Tiny Dancer and Goodbye Norma Jean...but also rockers like Crocadile Rock and Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting...and then something totally different like Bennie and The Jets, Funeral for a Friend/Love Lie Bleeding and Madman Across the Water. He could just do about any kind of song.
Nice reaction Lily. One thing to know about Elton John is he mostly wrote the melodies of his songs whilst his mate, Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics. So, maybe it is better to wonder who Bernie Taupin wrote it for...
Team Grandad says, excellent choice. The Stay song... Lilly's choice last time. Good for today. We had much of a muchness stuff. Like Grandad, I never gave it many points... soz Lilly ❤ from Northeast England ❤️
I like his older stuff way better. He went pop rock for the most part. His early works were more "Soulful". But Pops, in an earlier song you played, I recommended you introduce Lily to some Beatles songs. I picked the slower ones I think one was Dear Prudence, and Blackbird, and another one I forget, maybe Yesterday. Anyway, always enjoyable. :)
I guess the youtube police can only stop so many, while others get through. I'm guessing she really liked the 2 songs you played for her, and sorry I couldn't see her reactions. Keep trying!
It was a collab with Bernie Taupin who was only 17 when he wrote the lyrics. I guess that explains why the song has such an innocent vibe... that kind of love we have when we're youngsters. Three Dog Night recorded it but stepped back and let Elton release the single instead (good call). th-cam.com/video/icm8aToQuro/w-d-xo.html
I just watched that, it wasn't bad at all, but obviously the Elton John version is the one everybody knows. I see a lot of people saying they are big fans of Three Dog Night, and while I know the name, I couldn't name one of their songs off the top of my head. I will know something by them though.
I've just typed their name into You Tube, I definitely know Mama told me not to come, and I think I know The show must go on, but I know it by Leo Sayer.

It's almost an impossible task to pick a favourite song from a legend of music but this is one of them.

I prefer Elton's earlier songs, and I consider this one to be among my favourites.

My favourite Elton John tracks is "Goodbye yellow brick road", brings back many happy memories.
Yeh, that's a great song, another one of his early ones.
Brilliant song.
Great song of the 70s
After all these years, and I finally learn that this song I've heard a million times is sung by Elton John!
You're joking of course?
@@Lilly8Listens I kid you naught!
Imagine having your very own song By Elton John

You can't go wrong with Elton John.
Spot the edit right near the end, it was for the best. 😄
I know he began his career in 1968, but I could be wrong, he has had a great career

Lotta' Love by Nicolette Larson😊

Go down the Al Stewart rabbit hole and hear some great songs!😊
Yes. Try Rocket Man on Lilly. That's a good one.
Take me to aruanda by Joanna Wang, such fun song

I've shown her two songs by the Beatles, both instantly blocked worldwide.

Steve we still haven't seen Lilly putting the song she likes and you listening to it
We did it yesterday, it's called Stay.
