Elton is one of the biggest selling recording artists of all time, and had a career putting out hits that spanned at least four decades. He’s still touring. I consider myself fortunate I got to see him live once.
The song has been played at millions of weddings. Elton's songwriting partner Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics when he was just seventeen years old. It blows my mind that someone so young could write such a beautiful song about love & friendship. In their partnership Bernie would typically provide Elton the lyrics written like poetry and Elton would then compose the music and the arrangement. Please react to more of their music!
The way they worked together was they didn't work together..Bernie would write the lyrics in another room, or some place, then pass them to Elton, and he'd put it to music..As far as I know they never collaborated, or worked in the same room..They preferred it that way.
I'm a hard rock guy from way back, Zep, Sabbath, Deep Purple, but I dated a girl who loved Elton John and I began to listen. First album I listened to was Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. In a short time I was hooked. One of the greatest talents of all time.
As vast as his musical history is “Your Song” is without a doubt his signature song. He’s only been performing and writing music for 50 years !! His partner who’s collaborated with him on “His songs” will write lyrics....send them to him & he puts them to music. It sounds simple and perhaps it is but his talent for putting words to music is unmatched !! He was one of two musical talents invited on “Inside the Actors Studio” a program on Bravo. I watched as he demonstrated his talent for adapting words to music, it was extraordinary to say the least. I wouldn’t be surprised if TH-cam had it archived. Elton toured with Billy Joel (the other musician on that show) and they were exceptional together. Both excellent on the piano & having extensive musical history. The show I attended, Billy had been sick and had not performed the previous day. He only lasted about half of this show so Elton picked up the slack playing both their songs beautifully to finish out the concert. I was so fortunate to witness these iconic piano men !! 🙏🏻❤️
You would probably like Jefferson Starship’s “Miracles.” One of the most romantic rock songs ever with silky smooth vocals from Marty Balin snd backing vocals from Grace Slick. A high point of ‘70s music.
"Miracles" has always been one of my favorites and while it is "romantic" it is also lyrically quite risque, especially for the times. I'm pretty sure they played the edited version most of the time on the airwaves.
The Legend, the Icon, the Great Singer and Songwriter (along with his best mate: Bernie Taupin), Mr. Elton. One of the most important singers of our time. A great rabbit hole to go down Angela. SO MANY HITS. When he calls it quits or leaves this mortal coil, I doubt we will ever hear music like his ever again.
Hi Ms. D., Mr. Elton wrote the first "Candle In The Wind" for Ms. Norma Jean (Marilyn Monroe) and then he wrote the second one, changed the lyrics for Lady Diana's funeral.. Both Good.. I love "Your Song" it is Great.. ♠Mr.G..
Elton John your song it's his first big hit back in 70 71 one of my favorite always has been always will be a simple song but with such beautiful lyrics
Elton is my favorite artist! I first saw him in concert in 1974 in Atlanta, Georgia, I was only 12 I went with my big brother, my brother was killed in Vietnam a year later! I always thing of him when I hear this song because it was his favorite! God Bless!
Elton's career is a wonderful amalgamation of two incredible talents. Bernie Taupin would write lyrics and Elton (Reginald Dwight) would put them to music.
Elton John singing the Border Song is a rare underrated gem. About brotherhood and hope. But he is utterly brilliant on "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me." Still iconic and soaring with the Captain and Tennille backing him on vocals. Still great all these years later. 7o's gold!
This was Elton/Taupin first hit. After all these years, it's still my favorite of theirs. Rolling Stone ranks this song in the top 200 greatest songs all time.
SIR ELTON JOHN, "YOUR SONG".. ELTON CAME OVER FROM THE U.K., AND THE 70'S MAGICAL. HIT AFTER HIT.. MORE "DANIEL", "SOME ONE SAVE MY LIFE TONIGHT", "CROCODILE ROCK".... "GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD"... "MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER".."LEVON"...,ROCKET MAN"
For a songwriter or a musician maybe easy to put down words and a melody…But so hard for myself or others…That is what makes this song so special that it means so much but easy for Bernie & Elton!! Masterfully done!!
@@michaelasay6140 I'm even older and I never saw this video. He's usually sitting at the piano. Not singing outside at what looks like Central Park or Hyde Park.
You know what's so amazing to me about the power of music I was probably your age or maybe even younger when I discovered this song as my favorite song and now I'm sitting here listening to you watching you enjoying the same song all these years later it just blows my mind
The song that put Elton on the musical map. You can’t discuss his music without giving credit to his longtime friend & lyricist Bernie Taupin. They were quite a team! And I agree with others-Mona Lisas & Mad Hatters is my favorite EJ song & very worthy of a reaction.
This great song was from 1969 and I fell in love with it about 1985. I was born in 1974, so it took a while, but I absolut love it; as loads of other Elton & Bernie songs.
His songs are a real rabbit hole ! So many to choose from, " circle of life " " Sacrifice " " I guess that's why they call it the blues " " Blue eyes " all brilliant tracks you might have heard this track "your song" by Billy Paul as he had a hit with it too
I love your reactions so much-- so heartfelt. In fact, every time I go looking for a reaction to a particular song, if I see you in the search query, you're one of my top choice go-to reactors. You have a wonderful heart and character! It's infections in a positive, inspiring way, as well as refreshing to see the youth of this generation connecting with the positives of the past and using it to inspire them today! Thank you for keeping so much wonderful music alive through your reactions along with many others here on TH-cam who do it in such a spritely way!!!!! It's a wonderful sight to see you all uncovering songs you were not aware existed to what seems to me like not so long ago, yet it's been longer than even some of your lifetimes that it came into existence, just sitting out there waiting for newer generations to discover it and make it live again! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Have a lovely day, Angela! BTW, I still think you'd like Tender Years by John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band (Eddie & The Cruisers Soundtrack). Would it be possible to see you react to it? th-cam.com/video/hgh55EOL18k/w-d-xo.html (Movie version) th-cam.com/video/EhWqOSMDNUM/w-d-xo.html (HQ - John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band) If you, however, prefer a selection from Elton John, since this is the focus of the current video... try "Sad Songs Say So Much" th-cam.com/video/X23v5_K7cXk/w-d-xo.html
It is NOT possible that you have not heard Elton John's songs, they are iconic for the period. You may not know they are his, but you have heard them. Several are ear-worms in my head.
Its the arrangement with strings, harp, piano and of course the lyrics.....I never heard anything like it and I was hooked, It was my senior year at college,
I Grew Up Over Here In The UK And The First Album I Brought Was ELTONS Good Bye Yellow Brick Road. I Have Followed His Career Ever Since And Have Been Lucky Enough To Have Seen Him Live 4Times. Love the review😊👍

Saw him live the first time in 1973 in London (Hammersmith Odion theatre) where he sang the entire Yellow Brick Road album. This was one of the songs. He's a phenomenal singer and performer. I've always enjoyed his shows. It's been a while.
I think this was one of his first songs, if not the first. Another early and mellow song from Elton was "Friends" from 1971. Elton teamed up with Bernie Taupin when songwriting.

Patti Labelle, Michael McDonald "On my Own"... Beautiful song and two incredible voices... Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Gladis Knight.. "That's What Friends Are For". Beautiful song and more incredible voices.. Thank you.. You are way to beautiful/adorable....
"I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind, that I put down the words. How wonderful life is while you're in the world!" Life's wonderful seeing people such as yourself responding to these tunes, Angela! Keep it up! God bless you and strengthen and carry you forward a bit further towards accomplishing each day what you're called to and enjoy yourself while you're at it! Have a wonderful day!
Heather Headley sang "your song" to elton john at the kennedy center honors. It is amazing and I would love you to react to it. Also, "empty garden" was mentioned below. Another amazing and powerful song. Deals with the murder of Elton's good friend John Lennon
I can't listen to Empty Garden without bawling my eyes out. We're talking sobs so intense you can't catch your breath, snot running down your nose, burying your face in a pillow kinda tears!!
Sweet song indeed, you are fun to watch. Elton was magnificent when I saw him, playing every hit I could have wanted plus amazing deep cuts like All the Young Girls Love Alice, Madman Across the Water and Funeral for a Friend. Also try Goodbye Yellowbrick Road,, Levon, Tiny Dancer and Saturday Nights Alright for Fighting, all great songs. Enjoy! Rock On! 😎
When this first Rocked das waves I wasn't around yet, but mum was playing it often when she danced about her kitchen...und it became "my song" as well. :-) Like your reactions much...Liked und Subbed. Have a fun day und be safe. Auf Wiedersehen aus Wiesbaden :-)
This is my first time on your channel, so let me say nice to meet you and thank you for the reaction! Elton John has many great songs, most of them collaborations with his lyricist Bernie Taupin. If you wish to explore his music further I would recommend "Daniel", "Tiny Dancer", "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters", "Levon" and "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" as great places to start! Best wishes to you for much success with your channel!!

Elton is one of the biggest selling recording artists of all time, and had a career putting out hits that spanned at least four decades. He’s still touring. I consider myself fortunate I got to see him live once.
I saw him with Billy Joel about 15 years ago, fantastic concert!
This guy's catalog is endless. Some of the best songs ever.
You should do Elton's Tiny Dancer and Rocket Man if you haven't heard them.
"Tiny Dancer"!!! Yes!
The song has been played at millions of weddings. Elton's songwriting partner Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics when he was just seventeen years old. It blows my mind that someone so young could write such a beautiful song about love & friendship.

An absolutely amazing partnership. In life timing is everything!
The way they worked together was they didn't work together..Bernie would write the lyrics in another room, or some place, then pass them to Elton, and he'd put it to music..As far as I know they never collaborated, or worked in the same room..They preferred it that way.
One of the greatest song's ever written
If you saw the film, Moulin Rouge, you might have heard Ewan McGregor sing this.
I'm a hard rock guy from way back, Zep, Sabbath, Deep Purple, but I dated a girl who loved Elton John and I began to listen. First album I listened to was Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. In a short time I was hooked. One of the greatest talents of all time.
My wife loved this song .. RIP baby
This was his first big song, released in 1970 in the US.
“Don’t Let the Sun go Down on Me” or “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” are definitely worth a listen. 🌺✌️
...and Elton's version of "Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds" - AWESOME!!
Elton John is incredible singer composer but Bernie is an incredible poet
As vast as his musical history is “Your Song” is without a doubt his signature song. He’s only been performing and writing music for 50 years !! His partner who’s collaborated with him on “His songs” will write lyrics....send them to him & he puts them to music. It sounds simple and perhaps it is but his talent for putting words to music is unmatched !! He was one of two musical talents invited on “Inside the Actors Studio” a program on Bravo.

Elton toured with Billy Joel (the other musician on that show) and they were exceptional together. Both excellent on the piano & having extensive musical history.

He only lasted about half of this show so Elton picked up the slack playing both their songs beautifully to finish out the concert. I was so fortunate to witness these iconic piano men !! 🙏🏻❤️
This was his first big hit. A classic to this very day.
The song that started it all for Elton.
That is my favorite Elton John song!
Beautiful.
Elton doesn't have that money problem anymore.
You would probably like Jefferson Starship’s “Miracles.” One of the most romantic rock songs ever with silky smooth vocals from Marty Balin snd backing vocals from Grace Slick. A high point of ‘70s music.
Yes!!! Excellent song!!!
@@dreamweaver8913 yep. great song had forgotten about that one
"Miracles" has always been one of my favorites and while it is "romantic" it is also lyrically quite risque, especially for the times. I'm pretty sure they played the edited version most of the time on the airwaves.
“Tiny Dancer” is probably my fav Elton John song.
It’s a lot more than a sweet song. It’s a Masterpiece.
Hi Ms. D., I think this is one of Mr. Elton's best Songs, I love it.. ♠W.G.
The Legend, the Icon, the Great Singer and Songwriter (along with his best mate: Bernie Taupin), Mr. Elton. One of the most important singers of our time. A great rabbit hole to go down Angela. SO MANY HITS. When he calls it quits or leaves this mortal coil, I doubt we will ever hear music like his ever again.
This was Elton’s golden era, anything by him was great stuff!
Bernie taupin was just 17 wnen he wrote this masterpiece.
Someone Saved my life tonight ,,,, by Elton.... It's my fav ,by him..🌷😁🎵
Hi Ms. D., Mr. Elton wrote the first "Candle In The Wind" for Ms. Norma Jean (Marilyn Monroe) and then he wrote the second
one, changed the lyrics for Lady Diana's funeral.. Both Good.. I love "Your Song" it is Great.. ♠Mr.G..
My co-fav' E. John slow song - this 1 & Tiny Dancer - both r all-time masterpieces bc of the writing & composition.
I'm with ya on Tiny Dancer. Easily my favorite.
Elton John and Bernie Taupin created pure magic. Their songs had very deep meaning and they stood the test of time like a good poem.
Elton John your song it's his first big hit back in 70 71 one of my favorite always has been always will be a simple song but with such beautiful lyrics
Elton is my favorite artist! I first saw him in concert in 1974 in Atlanta, Georgia, I was only 12 I went with my big brother, my brother was killed in Vietnam a year later! I always thing of him when I hear this song because it was his favorite! God Bless!
Very beautiful love song
The song writing back then was beautiful. Elton and Bernie cranked out some major hits for a very long time.
Elton's career is a wonderful amalgamation of two incredible talents. Bernie Taupin would write lyrics and Elton (Reginald Dwight) would put them to music.
I’m so glad you got to hear this version for your first experience
Probably heard the version from "Moulin Rouge", by Ewan MacGregor (who really DID do a wonderful job of it).
The vision you my have heard is by rod Stewart you should check it out .
Bernie Taupin's words, Elton's music...a match made in heaven .
It plays a big part in the film Moulin Rouge
Elton John's "Ticking" an oldie that could have been written yesterday! Sad but beautiful! The times we live in!
Elton John singing the Border Song is a rare underrated gem. About brotherhood and hope. But he is utterly brilliant on "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me." Still iconic and soaring with the Captain and Tennille backing him on vocals. Still great all these years later. 7o's gold!
ONE of Their best collaborations
The genius behind it is that it is your song
Elton is AMAZING!!! Simple as that.
This is one of the best love songs I have ever heard beautiful ❤
This was Elton/Taupin first hit. After all these years, it's still my favorite of theirs. Rolling Stone ranks this song in the top 200 greatest songs all time.
one of the most beautiful love songs ever recorded. Perfect, harp and all.
One of my favorites of EJ, and there are many..6 or 7 DECADES of music from this guy. That was enjoyable!!
As good as Elton John is, it is a crime that so many people don't know about Bernie Taupin who writes all of his lyrics.
not all, but the vast majority
Truly one of the greatest partnerships the music world has ever known. Elton's music + Bernie's lyrics = the perfect marriage.
Elton John & Bernie Taupin have a symbiotic relationship. One without the other simply wouldn't even be 50% of this team.
Taupin prefers low key.
Very few
My favorite Elton John song! 💜
One of my favorite songs
SIR ELTON JOHN, "YOUR SONG".. ELTON CAME OVER FROM THE U.K., AND THE 70'S MAGICAL. HIT AFTER HIT.. MORE "DANIEL", "SOME ONE SAVE MY LIFE TONIGHT", "CROCODILE ROCK"....
"GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD"... "MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER".."LEVON"...,ROCKET MAN"
But also Nikita or the new songs like Belfast.
For a songwriter or a musician maybe easy to put down words and a melody…But so hard for myself or others…That is what makes this song so special that it means so much but easy for Bernie & Elton!! Masterfully done!!
Amazing you haven't heard Elton John before this. Yes hearing it now originally is better since we have just media stars that think they can sing.
Great tune. Brings back a lot of memories.
Thank you, for reminding me of this, and of the time and place in which I first listened to it.
You are very good as a reactor. I've seen you many times. You're much more observant than most reactors. So I decided to be a subscriber.
A music legend- period.
Elton John is a rare treasure:-)
so beautiful, so touching and warming your heart. these lyrics are just pure love.
Elton John's got a huge hit catalog you probably literally have 20 to 30 songs that are hits you could do
I’m a video freak, and I’ve never seen this!?! I’ve known this song for 40 years and I’ve never seen this video,,, thank you
Me eitherl Hey youre old like me!
@@michaelasay6140 I'm even older and I never saw this video. He's usually sitting at the piano. Not singing outside at what looks like Central Park or Hyde Park.

Seen him Live two times and he was fantastic, 64 yo guy here and had all his Albums
I agree, one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

this was his first big hit - nothing else he's done since in my view has touched this one
Saw him live the first time in 1973 in London (Hammersmith Odion theatre) where he sang the entire Yellow Brick Road album. This was one of the songs. He's a phenomenal singer and performer. I've always enjoyed his shows. It's been a while.
Elton John is another Legend! Great writer, singer, piano player..😁
I think this was one of his first songs, if not the first. Another early and mellow song from Elton was "Friends" from 1971. Elton teamed up with Bernie Taupin when songwriting. Bernie gave Elton the lyrics, and he sat at the piano and wrote the songs. A gifted musician from early on.
Thanks for your reaction!
Patti Labelle, Michael McDonald "On my Own"... Beautiful song and two incredible voices...
Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Gladis Knight.. "That's What Friends Are For". Beautiful song and more incredible voices.. Thank you.. You are way to beautiful/adorable....
Great love song.
❤ ... "Your Song" is also part of the soundtrack of "Moulin Rouge" by Baz Luhrmann (2001)... in the movie the song was performed by Ewan McGregor...
"I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind, that I put down the words. How wonderful life is while you're in the world!"
Life's wonderful seeing people such as yourself responding to these tunes, Angela! Keep it up! God bless you and strengthen and carry you forward a bit further towards accomplishing each day what you're called to and enjoy yourself while you're at it! Have a wonderful day!
The song that introduced the world to The amazing Elton John. His first Top Ten Hit. Love it. 😎🎼🎵🎶🍔🇨🇦
You have a nice voice !!! love Elton
My favourite song.
He's usually sitting at the piano playing this but this is his first hit from 1970
Heather Headley sang "your song" to elton john at the kennedy center honors. It is amazing and I would love you to react to it. Also, "empty garden" was mentioned below. Another amazing and powerful song. Deals with the murder of Elton's good friend John Lennon
I can't listen to Empty Garden without bawling my eyes out. We're talking sobs so intense you can't catch your breath, snot running down your nose, burying your face in a pillow kinda tears!!
@@carlaharrington5120 shows you are an amazing and sensitive person. It is a huge punch to the gut and a reminder of that terrible loss
My favorite!!!
I know that smile. It's the same smile when any of the TH-cam reactors hear an Elton song for the first time.
Sweet song indeed, you are fun to watch. Elton was magnificent when I saw him, playing every hit I could have wanted plus amazing deep cuts like All the Young Girls Love Alice, Madman Across the Water and Funeral for a Friend. Also try Goodbye Yellowbrick Road,, Levon, Tiny Dancer and Saturday Nights Alright for Fighting, all great songs. Enjoy! Rock On! 😎
My fav Elton is Someone Saved my. Life Tonight..
The first time I heard this waay back in the 70s was a cover (I thought it was their song) by Three Dog Night - it's pretty good!!
When this first Rocked das waves I wasn't around yet, but mum was playing it
often when she danced about her kitchen...und it became "my song" as well. :-)
Like your reactions much...Liked und Subbed.
Have a fun day und be safe. Auf Wiedersehen aus Wiesbaden :-)
This was our wedding song 40 years ago, still hold true!
From 1970. Done by Three Dog Night (another great group) and a number of others to include Lady Gaga.
You are just so sweet.
Thank you for doing the original studio version.
Good Gawd Elton was young in that video.
This is my first time on your channel, so let me say nice to meet you and thank you for the reaction! Elton John has many great songs, most of them collaborations with his lyricist Bernie Taupin.
