while going through radiation at the hospital for cancer treatment , they always ask what playlist i want to listen to. my go to is always either an elton john playlist or a queen playlist. but i remember on my last radiation appointment i chose elton and i was listening to this song as i finished. i had been feeling so distant because i couldn’t do much cause how sick i was, but this song brought me so much happiness. and in that moment, for some reason i knew that i’d get through it and be alright in the end. and here i am still alive to this day fighting cancer for the 7th time and i will never give up. don’t care if it takes a long long time , i’ll be okay :).
This is one of those songs that makes me want to cry but makes me feel incredibly happy at the same time. Truly beautiful things tend to do that to me.
I'd be honored if some Elton John fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LEVON and ROCKET MAN on my YT channel in tribute to the masters of 20th century composition and lyrics (Elton and Bernie Taupin). Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
I admire the contrast between Elton's "Rocket Man", and Bowie's "Space Oddity" where one longs to be with his family and the other falls in love with space so much that he leaves his wife, earth, and just gives in to be apart of space till the end of his days. Edit. I just got out of "Rocketman", and man was it incredible. It was indescribable, but in words absolutely beautiful. A big inspiration to me as a musician, and just as a person in general. A big recommendation to anyone interested.
Honestly Space oddity could be a sort of sequel to this song in a way, once Tom/rocket man realizes what is going on he’s realizes how much he loves his family
John R. Rosales Such great songs. This one so sad. It’s famed as a sort of coming out. But the song is basically saying that they may never know. Or at least until then I’ll be out here in space where it’s cold and no one there to love.

Today I said goodbye to one of my best friends...this was the song that brought us together and now It will be the song that I use to immortalize him forever.
I doubt anyone will ever read this, but 4 years ago this song got me through a very difficult time in my life, this is the first time I’ve listened to the song in a while and it makes me see how far I’ve come
Definitely a candidate for one of the greatest musicians alive...I've been trying to play stuff of his on guitar, and having a hell of a time of it. Not that the chords are that complex, he just flows between chords on the piano as naturally as breathing.
61 & his music (along with a few others) has been the soundtrack of my life! Of over 1000 albums I'm lucky enough to own, I have two of his in my *Top 3!*

It's the real meaning of the song that gets me. Feeling disconnected from everyone and everything. Beautiful, stunning, and immortal for all of us humans. ❤
My dad passed away 2 weeks ago. We loved music so much; we loved listening to it together. Found a notebook in his closet from when he was young, filled with band pictures and music notes and lyrics. This song was one of them. It was lovely knowing he liked the same songs I like as well. I miss him a lot.
My son(Daniel) hated being named after the song. As he got older he discovered Elton was really not so bad. His favourite was rocket man, he suddenly died at the age of 36 . 18months ago. Haven't been able to play it until now.
This song should be played every April 13th. We lost a good man that day, his name was Rick May. He will rocket jump from Heaven and into our hearts, forever and ever
this was the very 1st song I heard after I got the call that my brother had passed, suddenly. it brings me comfort but usually I break down when I hear it 😔
Today a very close friend of mine passed away. I used to listen to this song when I was little, but now this song reminds me to him. Rest in peace, dear friend!!♥♥♥

Rocket Man is a poetic and melancholic reflection on the emotional and physical distances that humans face in the pursuit of their dreams or obligations. Although it may seem like a story about space exploration, it delves into deeply human themes such as loneliness, sacrifice, and self-discovery.
Yes years ago I turned the key in my truck and Rocket Man came on the radio; for some reason I sat stunned...the song finished and radio silence.. Challenger had exploded. I cry every time I hear this song.
Wow, in the early 70's this was considered just regular contemporary top-40 music. By today's standards, they sound like epic timeless classic compositions.

I think this video is so beautiful. I interpret it to be a man who loves his family so much, he takes a long and dangerous journey across the world to find a safe place for them. The scenes of him in an astronaut suit and entering a rocket are only symbols, when his real journey is the scenes of going under the truck and on the lifeboat. He ends up in London - which appears as a futuristic city to represent a safe and thriving civilization, compared to the one he's trying to escape - and thinks he sees his family in the subway, happy they're safe and together again, but realizes he's not close to finishing his journey, as he still has to go back for his family. The video ends with his yearning to see them again, when they can all be reunited. That's how I understand it, at least. It's very beautiful.
I remember when I was a young boy (around 1975 or whenever) and, one day, my Father came home with this very LP of Elton John and he put it on the turntable...wow... one of the greatest days of my life. "Rocket Man"....just absorbing it after about 25 years of being away from this kind of music....truly amazing....essentially, timeless!
As a traveling wind technician, always on the road, working long hours, coming home for a few days, then hit the road again and be gone for a month just to provide a better life for my family, this song hits hard and gets me teary eyed
Why is no one talking about how beautifully animated and incredible story it has portrayed. The story of a refugee by a refugee with this music is soul touching
@ The song was about Elton Leaving his country and his family to be a misican famous. Because there is a big diference when u arrive others countries. " It's just my job five days a week"
I just wanted to thank Elton for a great song. I’m not sure this song was meant to be sad but it’s a great song we all take it and make it our own and draw strength from it! Thanks Elton!
I'm a immigrant and this video remind me so much! How a miss my family, my friends and those who I use to love! And how I felt in a new city, a New country. Beautiful song!
Same thing happens to me with - Whole Lotta love (Zeppelin), Comfortably Numb (Floyd), First Days of Spring (Noah and the Whale), Like Real People Do (Hozier), Purple Rain (Prince), Under Pressure (Queen and Bowie), Space Oddity (Bowie) and many others utterly visceral songs and blessings
Wow, no comments on the story of this amazing animated short film? I mean, let's talk about that beautiful work.... It gives the song a whole new meaning
I grew up listening to only the best genres of the 70s,80s,90s. Im 20 now, with a 2 year old and this music is constantly on in the backround. My favoutite music. I can only hope my son grows up and to enjoys this eras of music and passes it on to his babies. These tunes will never die.
The video about a man who losts his entire world... I didn't think it would be possible to get emotional by the same song in two different ways, but the art is aways surprising.
I’ll never forget hearing this song while descending the escalator at Piccadilly Station in London. It was just after breaking up with an ex girlfriend while studying in Spain, and I had traveled to England to mend my heart. Feeling launched into life yet enormously alone, I heard a boy with a guitar singing this song. It was perfect: I’m in London!, feeling like a Rocketman. This song brought me comfort and gave me a deeper sense of where i was. Later, I heard it in an episode of The X-Files, during a divorce scene, and realized someone else understood what I felt. This video, with the perspective of immigrants, adds a new dimension to the song’s lyrics. It was so moving that I burst into tears, 18 years after… again
I'd be honored if some Elton John fans would give a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LEVON and ROCKET MAN on my YT channel in tribute to the master. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
Least we forget with all the accolades to Sir Elton John for this beautiful song, Bernie Taupin needs accreditation for his wonderful lyrics, after all, he was the writer of so many of Elton’s songs.
Hang in there, i lost ten years of my life to durgs and alcohol. Fight to make a productive enjoyable life for urself. Look at life not with ur physical eyes us the 3rd eye and heart don't not be lazy with ur thoughts, and slow down going thur ur day. Don't move or think at the society pace. We all are spirit that was program by the empire, was program what to think, not how to think. Look at it this way we are spirits in recovery! Recovering from the program to feed our lower spirit meda ase bro Kwaku 🌅🎆🎆♾
I don’t know what was Bernie thinking when he wrote the lyrics to this song, but this new video suits it completely. And it makes me cry, it breaks my heart. Good music never dies. And this song is not just good, is perfect.
I started humming rocket man out of nowhere, I came here and I just want to sob...don’t know why. I hear sadness and there’s this yearning in his voice. I need a tissue!

my mom passed 5/3/22 unexpectedly at 53. this was her favorite song. I play it every morning now. it was her slideshow song at her memorial I miss her so much.
my dad died from a overdoes and he loved this song i like thinking of it in a different context. he played it a couple of nights before he’s passing. i just remembered the song too.
It's taken several years for me to properly applicate Elton John's music, now I wish I had started listening more to him years ago. Was more into soft rock / indie styles.
Very true, I'm still getting into artists and groups that have been around for a while. Thanks to TH-cam I'm listening to some stuff I normally wouldn't have known about.
while going through radiation at the hospital for cancer treatment , they always ask what playlist i want to listen to. my go to is always either an elton john playlist or a queen playlist. but i remember on my last radiation appointment i chose elton and i was listening to this song as i finished. i had been feeling so distant because i couldn’t do much cause how sick i was, but this song brought me so much happiness. and in that moment, for some reason i knew that i’d get through it and be alright in the end. and here i am still alive to this day fighting cancer for the 7th time and i will never give up. don’t care if it takes a long long time , i’ll be okay :).

I admire the contrast between Elton's "Rocket Man", and Bowie's "Space Oddity" where one longs to be with his family and the other falls in love with space so much that he leaves his wife, earth, and just gives in to be apart of space till the end of his days.
Edit. I just got out of "Rocketman", and man was it incredible. It was indescribable, but in words absolutely beautiful. A big inspiration to me as a musician, and just as a person in general. A big recommendation to anyone interested.
Honestly Space oddity could be a sort of sequel to this song in a way, once Tom/rocket man realizes what is going on he’s realizes how much he loves his family
@@samuelmiller7066 I definitely see how that would blend into a narrative, and especially from both works of the greats, David Bowie and Elton John.

Wait why is everyone so sad did he die
While I got through my depression, i found this song and understood the loneliness it felt and felt comfort that I'm not the only lonely person
Hi i am great fan!

Loneliness is a eternal unsolved question, makes me sad.
I’m glad to hear music helped. It’s a touchstone for both of us
I can't get through my depression. I'm going to have it for the rest of my life. However long left that's going to be.
I can't do this anymore.
God bless Sir Elton. Beautiful man with beautiful talents.
Can we appreciate how stunning the art and animation is?

Rocket Man is a poetic and melancholic reflection on the emotional and physical distances that humans face in the pursuit of their dreams or obligations. Although it may seem like a story about space exploration, it delves into deeply human themes such as loneliness, sacrifice, and self-discovery.

I think this video is so beautiful. I interpret it to be a man who loves his family so much, he takes a long and dangerous journey across the world to find a safe place for them. The scenes of him in an astronaut suit and entering a rocket are only symbols, when his real journey is the scenes of going under the truck and on the lifeboat. He ends up in London - which appears as a futuristic city to represent a safe and thriving civilization, compared to the one he's trying to escape - and thinks he sees his family in the subway, happy they're safe and together again, but realizes he's not close to finishing his journey, as he still has to go back for his family. The video ends with his yearning to see them again, when they can all be reunited.
That's how I understand it, at least. It's very beautiful.

That’s what I thought too lol what about the actual video u guys 😄 any thoughts?
Yeah this music clip adds extra depths to this song. It actually makes me close to tears...
The artist just did a TEDx talk in Brighton about his story. Lots of this is based on his life.
Anyone in 2020 for this beautiful music ? ♥️

Rokket first place uds tulsa
of course!
Yes I’m not the kind of person who listens to that putrid rap music
Nethermorfel I loved it in the 70s!
I grew up listening to only the best genres of the 70s,80s,90s. Im 20 now, with a 2 year old and this music is constantly on in the backround. My favoutite music. I can only hope my son grows up and to enjoys this eras of music and passes it on to his babies. These tunes will never die.
I wish there was more music like this.
Billie’s Avocados lol those days r gone
There are many more, just search lol.
There are plenty of them. Just look at your favorite music places.
Ode to a vanished age... the age of the Space Race.

The video about a man who losts his entire world... I didn't think it would be possible to get emotional by the same song in two different ways, but the art is aways surprising.

I’ll never forget hearing this song while descending the escalator at Piccadilly Station in London. It was just after breaking up with an ex girlfriend while studying in Spain, and I had traveled to England to mend my heart. Feeling launched into life yet enormously alone, I heard a boy with a guitar singing this song. It was perfect: I’m in London!, feeling like a Rocketman. This song brought me comfort and gave me a deeper sense of where i was. Later, I heard it in an episode of The X-Files, during a divorce scene, and realized someone else understood what I felt. This video, with the perspective of immigrants, adds a new dimension to the song’s lyrics. It was so moving that I burst into tears, 18 years after… again
Born too late to explore the earth, born too early to explore space.
But born in the right generation to watch it start.
Facts🌟🌟
I love this comment
We are still exploring this Earth.
Whoa, bro.... that's like deep or something
@@BOBROSS-ud2hk "I'm 14 and this is deep"
After all this time time I can sing along and remember every word .
The “rocket maaaaaaannn” vocal gives me life
Same! 😅
I'd be honored if some Elton John fans would give a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LEVON and ROCKET MAN on my YT channel in tribute to the master. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
Least we forget with all the accolades to Sir Elton John for this beautiful song, Bernie Taupin needs accreditation for his wonderful lyrics, after all, he was the writer of so many of Elton’s songs.
This song is perfect, no matter how many times I listen, it never loses its grace ❤️❤️🇧🇷
Brasillllllllllllllllll, aqui
@@lucassonnet7999 ❤️❤️🇧🇷
oh yeah
Vai Brasil kkkk
Yes!
A voice that everyone can recognize his music spans generation after generation a truly gifted artist who is listening in 2021?
YES!!
He will be missed when he passes away
@@chrisfashing2082 Don't even think like that!!!
Even as he makes music with Gorillaz I immediately feel better when his comes in. And I love Gorillaz

Sara James singing this song led me back to this original version. Such an awesome song and both Elton and Sara did a great job with it!!!
Let's support Elton 💙
NASA should put this in their playlist.
@@davisantos42679 I know but they also need this song in the playlist

Deezy I think they did in the ISS

@The Nerdy Guys it fits so well
Currently in rehab trying to get my life back this song hit me hard
Hang in there, i lost ten years of my life to durgs and alcohol. Fight to make a productive enjoyable life for urself. Look at life not with ur physical eyes us the 3rd eye and heart don't not be lazy with ur thoughts, and slow down going thur ur day. Don't move or think at the society pace. We all are spirit that was program by the empire, was program what to think, not how to think. Look at it this way we are spirits in recovery!
Recovering from the program to feed our lower spirit meda ase bro Kwaku 🌅🎆🎆♾
Prayers ....
Im in rehab also. 36 days sober. Im staying for a year. Prayers and stay strong.
good luck
Good luck!
I was 10 when this came out and it captivated me. It continues to inspire me to this day. Beautiful song.
I listened to this on my 2nd tour to Afghanistan.....Last song I heard before combat....First Song I played driving home to Arizona for good.
That must've felt euphoric feeling at peace
Apt
God, I'm so sorry for that loneliness...

Weird how people are making music videos decades after the song came out but I love it ❤
I am definitely born In the right generation, because of the internet I can search for millions of songs. So crazy
Rest in peace Rick May, he was no doubt the best.
I don’t know what was Bernie thinking when he wrote the lyrics to this song, but this new video suits it completely. And it makes me cry, it breaks my heart. Good music never dies. And this song is not just good, is perfect.
It makes me cry too I feel u
Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics, Elton wrote the music and sang it. Carmen is exactly right!
Yh love the music video about an illegal immigrant. Oh wait I don’t
Anthony Kowalski watch the movie
I started humming rocket man out of nowhere, I came here and I just want to sob...don’t know why. I hear sadness and there’s this yearning in his voice. I need a tissue!
왜 이 노래만 들으면 눈물이 날까요. 노래도, 멋진 뮤직비디오도 감사합니다. 크리스마스 이브라서 듣고 싶어서 여기 왔습니다. 모든 고향을 잃은 이들, 집을 잃은 이들의 마음에, 전쟁과 포화가 멈추지 않아 슬픔 속에 있는 모든 분들에게, 2025년에는 부디, 더 나은 세계가 펼쳐지기를 바랍니다. 2024년 크리스마스 이브 서울에서
We are going to make it! Peace!

I am a Russian soldier who was drafted into a war that I did not want. God, I want to go home to my family.
Best song ever...coming from a dude that listened to gangsta rap all of his life
sad
I don't care if it's rap, rock, pop or anything else. If it sounds good I'm listening to it.
@@Never_Always2 sad? because he listens to rap?
Rap is the desegregation of the once great black music culture. "money money bitches bitches'

my mom passed 5/3/22 unexpectedly at 53. this was her favorite song. I play it every morning now. it was her slideshow song at her memorial I miss her so much.
I’m so sorry for your loss. 💜 May your momma Rest In Peace.
I’m sorry for your loss
My condolences
I'm sorry
😢😢 sinto muito! 💔
This song is so beautiful ... Make me Cry always ❤❤❤
Nobody cares….
One of the best songs ever - it gives me strength to take the next step!
In this song it’s “I miss my wife”
In the movie it’s “I miss my life”
Love the detail, as in the movie the moment was portraying his depression as a celebrity.
@@Chillwave6 no, it's more about his seclusion in the movie rather than just his depression
Perhaps, a 'MANDELA EFFECT '!
JUST SAYING!
PEACE, LOVE AND GOD!
lm
@@leahmonday4686 that isn't how the mandala effect works. Go to the Rocketman scene in the movie and he blatantly says life. In this, he says wife
I noticed that to lol i didnt think many people would pick that up in the pool scene
This should be trending👍👌
GET TROLLED_M8 lol your profile pic got me

Frig off with this meme Marty mcfly
my dad died from a overdoes and he loved this song i like thinking of it in a different context. he played it a couple of nights before he’s passing. i just remembered the song too.
It's taken several years for me to properly applicate Elton John's music, now I wish I had started listening more to him years ago. Was more into soft rock / indie styles.
That makes 2 andrews !!!
The thing about the classics is it's never too late to enjoy them
Very true, I'm still getting into artists and groups that have been around for a while. Thanks to TH-cam I'm listening to some stuff I normally wouldn't have known about.
Jus watched rocket man, I’m a fan now, and yes never too late, glad he is still with us to tell his story
I love how all the other people in this vid are in detail which I like to think means he doesn’t give a fly about anybody else apart from his family
Man this song is incredible
so is the video!
I have nothing to say, it is absolutely a masterpiece!
