Look up 'Elton John B-sides' and listen to a whole slew of original Elton songs that never even made it to the albums. He make 'prolific' seem too small a word.
"Up in the balcony all the Romeo's are bleeding for your hand. Blowing theater kisses. Reciting lines they don't understand" If those not the best verses ever, i don't know what is.
I was at the beach, somewhere in Florida. I felt the sand beneath my feet, the breeze on my face, calmly watching the sunset while listening to this song. It was such a magical moment. By myself, I didn't need anything else or anyone to feel like this life is such an amazing gift. So simple, yet filled with beauty.
THIS was my youth! Had ALL of these posters on my wall and as well as seeing him at one of my all time concerts he handed me a red carnation! LOVE THIS and I'm now 55!
Me too. This is the first thing I thought when I saw this video is "That's me!". Many of the pictures on my wall were my drawings of him. I was never handed a flower by him, but I went to a concert fully intending to hand him one of the drawings I did of him. Unfortunately, I was intercepted by security who told me if I ran to the stage again, I would be escorted out! I'm 59, a professional artist, and I STILL enjoy drawing Elton and post them on my Instagram. Words are inadequate to describe how he inspires me.
My favourite video of my favourite song from my favourite Elton John LP of the past 40 years. Mandy Moore is absolute pained perfection in this, playing a character who's thoughts & feelings I imagine were very close to what my own mother experienced as a teen, with Elton/Elizabeth Taylor providing the contrasting necessary background here. This is EASILY, one of the most romantic music videos ever produced, and the realism of the sufficating yet familiar mid-70s semiotics is staggering. A true ugly, gorgeous masterpiece.
I was stood outside when they were shooting this in a house in Burbank. I arrived just as Elton left the house used as the location. But the image that sticks in my head the most is seeing Elizabeth Taylor being pushed outside in her wheelchair and up into a waiting van. Don't remember seeing Miss Moore. Can't really remember the date but it was possibly 2002.
This is my fantasy...LOL. How I would to be transported back to the '70s and have a front row seat at one of his shows. Beautiful song; fantastic video.
All 43 years of my life, I've been a fan. My mother's influence when I was young. My husband and I never had one of those "this is our song" songs and when we married, we didn't want the same, typical first dance song as everyone else we know. We chose Original Sin because WE knew it, WE love it and we've never heard it played on commercial radio. We got so many compliments about our choice of song, how none of our guests had heard it, but it "fit" our relationship. Now, we have so many lovely and loving memories associated with Original Sin. We are celebrating 20 years this weekend. 💙🌹
One of Elton’s best videos. It pays tribute to not only his career, but this feels like it definitely was made with longtime fans in mind, who will definitely recognize many of the pictures she had on her wall. The picture she gently caresses was from the inside cover of Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. The only complaint I have is that it cuts off the ending part of the video, where Mandy is asleep and Liz Taylor says to Elton the dad, “She must really like this guy,” to which he responds, “Who is this Elton John?”
Barbra Streisand Liza Minnelli Anni-Frid Lyngstad Björn Ulvaeus Bo Derek Sonny Bono Cher Bono Chaz Bono Bette Midler ? and Vince Van Patten? Who are the last two?
Takes me back to 1976...16 and my first EJ concert. His pictures were on my walls and I thought he was gorgeous. This is a lovely video... made my eyes leak. Lol
I've never seen this video. It's about teenaged me. I even had the Elton John collage poster on my bedroom wall. Elton's music meant so much to me, helped me get through my teen years.❤
I was looking for this music video for the past 12 years, i almost cried this is such a beautiful son and music video my heart is filled with a mixed of emotions.
His “peak” may have been 1970s, but he still popped out more wonderful songs in 1980s, and 90s and 00s than most can do in a lifetime. Always frustrated that this one (and I want Love and Runaway Train) not on concert set lists, I go to a lot of EJ concerts! Have a listen to England and America from 2016. Still got it. Always got it.
The older I get, the more meaning music has to me. With every passing loved one, the stronger the connotation of the melody. I miss every one of them. Life is so fkin tough 😔
So unic. Made beautifully the cast really looks like 70's celebrities. The art looks really good and accurate, the wizard of oz references with Elton's yellow br. the song is so touching and sad and of course Ms Taylor. This video is a gem 💎🌈
What a beautiful friendship Liz & EJ had! The legacy they carry both in the industry and for starting the AIDS Foundation of their own. I cannot imagine what the world would be like without their help. "Songs From The West Coast" is awesome and the videos are fantastic. RIP Liz.
Someone might have commented on this before, but the ending of this video (as it ends here, not the omitted original ending some people are talking about) is directly connected to the ending of the video for "This Train Don't Stop," in which Elton, dressed exactly the same, walks onto the stage to start his concert. Some of the same extras are used, including the Liza lookalike.
It's been my favorite for years. Use it for my alarm in the morning.Then the Van Morrison song "Stranded" followed by Malo's "Suavecito". By the end my coffee is ready and after a leetle toke on my bowl I'm steppin' out for the morning.
2018 and it still gives me goosebumps and make me fall in love all over again....😍😘 brilliant and a great Elton classic up with your song for me I honestly love this song with all my heart.
I hadn't heard this song for a while.. when it finally played in my car on my playlist, I got hooked again and immediately came to find this video again 🙌
Eu aqui no Brasil, curtindo essa música linda no ano 2019, alguém vai estar curtindo os sucessos do artista Elton John nos anos 2999 e nos próximos milênios também.
omg elton john your awsome you have always been my idol and your concert was on my bucket list you have got me through alot of terrible times you never stop amazing me how telented you are great work awsome song
До чего ж чудесная сказка в видеоряде! Да и сама песня задушевно слезоточива. Помню, увидел этот клип однажды случайно по телеку в 2001-2002 годах, но название не запомнил, а только сюжет. И вот, спустя годы вновь увидел
This is so me! Apart from the posters on the walls I was never allowed any my sister’s took over the wall space with their heroes I would have that starstruck expression on my face . I wouldn’t be able to say a word if faced with Sir Elton😂😂😂love this song and video 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
this song reminds me when i was in my 20s years of age and now I am 35 years old ! oh , if only those days would come back again , I wouldn't miss a single moment in vain !
What I wouldn't give to have the ability to travel back in time to the 70's where there was so much good music back then that literally brought people together, through both good times and bad.

Beautiful song - by this time Elton had shown us most of his musical vocabulary- this song’s chorus has the same chord changes/and derivative melody (tho totally different mood) as ‘The Last Song’ from The One. So I like this, but I can’t quite make a completely separate place for it in my head. Many heritage artists proceed the same way- some talk about the great classical composers (Beethoven for instance) in this way: writing will tend to reflect generally the stage of life we’re in (adolescence- imitation young maturity- exploration, older maturity- recapitulation, but more refined)
My room in the 80's but with posters of Michael J Fox, Hulk Hogan (WWE professional wrestling) and Jake 'The Snake' Roberts (WWE professional wrestling). In the 90's I had posters of Matthew and Gunnar Nelson (twin sons of Rick'y' Nelson). So this video and song brings up special memories for me.
One of the most underrated songs of all time..... Amazing
One of his best, should be much better known
it legitimately pisses me off how underrated it is
I think that's the most underrated Elton song.
a loota of elton's songs r underrated
Look up 'Elton John B-sides' and listen to a whole slew of original Elton songs that never even made it to the albums. He make 'prolific' seem too small a word.
I love this song)
It's my fav EJ song ever.
They don't understand how powerful it is.. most beautiful very.
"Up in the balcony all the Romeo's are bleeding for your hand. Blowing theater kisses. Reciting lines they don't understand"
If those not the best verses ever, i don't know what is.
What a great album Songs From The West Coast is.
How come this song video has got only 500 thousand something views by now? This is one of the best songs in the world!
I just recently heard it for the first time! Don't know how I missed it!
If it was sung by BTS, it would have been a massive hit
This is the most sweetest melody i ever listen magnificent.
Elton is such a legend.

How wasn't this one of his biggest hits ever. Its pure class
98% everything this man does is Pure class. And this is no exaggeration
Oh and the rest 2 % are 8/10
Maybe his greatest hits overshadow this but doesn’t diminish this song. Every song he plays is basically perfect

Just like Empty Garden. Because he don’t play it at concerts 😔
I kind of get a cinderella vibe out of this video,its just so wonderful and magical
I do too
One of his best songs! He should include this on the live set more often! Hopefully in his next tour!
One of my favourite Elton John songs.

Wow finally 1.1M views.. but such a great song deserves so much more
Beautiful song as always Elton!
I've never heard a bad Elton John composition (although a couple of mediocre ones). He is the SONGWRITER'S songwriter.
@@TheWorldTeacher Bernie Taupin generally wrote the majority of the songs and Elton composed the music.
He is simply the best.
I had a friend who had more Elton pictures in his room than shown in this video . It was 1976 he was a 12 year old boy . He was a huge Elton fan .

Love all the cameos
Beautiful song - by this time Elton had shown us most of his musical vocabulary- this song’s chorus has the same chord changes/and derivative melody (tho totally different mood) as ‘The Last Song’ from The One. So I like this, but I can’t quite make a completely separate place for it in my head. Many heritage artists proceed the same way- some talk about the great classical composers (Beethoven for instance) in this way: writing will tend to reflect generally the stage of life we’re in (adolescence- imitation
young maturity- exploration,
older maturity- recapitulation, but more refined)
Ugh! Been looking for this video all over the Internet.. It's here 😊

I felt the way she feels....but I actually got to meet him!!! YAY!!!! 😀👍🌈😀

My god ! The doubles arround Mandy Moor are fantastic, Barbra Streisand, Sonny and Cher, Bette Midler and Liza Minelli !
Yes, they are great and there were Liz Taylor, Andy Warhol, Lou Reed and Bo Derek doubles too
And Ryan O’Neal and Paul Williams
Let's update this: Prince (not skinny enough though), John Derek (with Bo), Halston, a young Liz Taylor (looking more like Cristina Ferrare)…
One of my all time favorite songs
The most underrated John/Taupin masterpiece, that's true.
