  • In 1987, cult film The Lost Boys gave Roger Daltrey a platform to take this Elton John/Bernie Taupin classic and... some say... make it just that tiny touch better!
    What do you think?

    This is the best version of this song FACT. Coupled with the fact that this song was part of the Lost Boys.......Bliss. Pure bliss.

    Roger Daltrey mastered this song. Nobody else can amount to the way he sings it. He was the man for it. Plus the rich strat sound makes it way better.

    The reality of the lyrics as sung by Daltrey makes this song an anthem and an affirmation for men, as we are all, LOST BOYS!

    Best version of this song by miles. From the best ever film 🎥 The Lost Boys.

    I never really cared for this song until I heard Roger singing it. So emotional.

      Great song and a great voice.

    • @kw271
      @kw271 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I second that sentiment !! The elton john version felt too varnished. I prefer Daltrey's rawness.

  • @MrMickyboy52

    The emotion he puts into this is just unreal.

    This has always been my favourite version of this song, can't beat Roger Daltrey's vocals on this.

    I actually like all versions because it's a great song Bernie wrote. The live version with George and Elton is my favorite and this version so so close. 🎶 🎵 🪕 🎼 ❤❤❤❤❤

    there was a point in my life where this song from this soundtrack defined me. I lived it for 2500kms on a road trip.

    Best version of this song. Hands down. No one has ever sung this song better and doubt anyone ever will.
    The voice, the passion, the heartbreak, the angelic background vocals, the horns, the guitar ❤

  • @johnknottenbelt2727
    @johnknottenbelt2727 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Well, Roger. Looks like you won more than a few hearts with your version of this classic. I'll leave it there, we all have our reasons for that which we hold precious.

    I totally agree that Mr Daltrey owns this song and gives his usual passionate and emotional best to the lyrics. And yes, it's on the Lost Boys soundtrack... bliss.

    I swear the WHO is so underrated. I remember skipping school in 7th grade and seeing the afternoon movie and it was The kids are allright! Roger Daltrey was always my fave for a lead vocalist. Real.

    I can't light no more of your darkness
    All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
    I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
    Frozen here on the ladder of my life
    Too late to stop myself from falling
    I took a chance and changed your way of life
    But you misread my meaning when I met you
    Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
    Don't let the sun go down on me
    Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
    I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
    But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
    I can't find the right romantic line
    But see me once and see the way I feel
    Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
    But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal
    Don't let the sun go down on me
    Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
    I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
    But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

      @BrettOwen71 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Gavin Helgeson Thanks Gavin. I am well aware of it. When I said I never heard this before I meant I never heard or knew that Roger Daltry had recorded it as well. For me, all due respect to EJ and GM, esp in light of recent events, that version pales in comparison to this. All the best.

    Roger Daltrey breathed new life into this song. I have always loved it, and by no means do I slight Elton John's solo or duet with George Michael performances. I just wish that I could here more of the guitar playing at the end of this. I cannot get enough of it. Sounds like Eddy Van Halen. (is it?)

    FACT.. That song brought out Daltrey's voice really strong. Elton & Bernie wrote it i believe. SO.. Look for who else played/made it such a great song. Bliss

    I love the song. I wish I could sing this song to win back my ex girlfriend/ fiance ' , but it's to late now, haven't heard from her in 5 years since she broke up. If I had it to do all over again, I'd follow this example, sing it to my ex. I just wished I held on tighter. I had everything, a good life & girl. & lost my girl, my life is upside down now, things aren't the same. . But I love this song. Roger Daltrey is superb.
