The more you learn about TV show formats, the more you'll understand this was pre-planned. The keyboard was even pre-set to suit this song's key and timbre.
My respect for Elton just grew here. No hesitation, he went to the piano and played the full version at that man's request. That was not very diva of him.
He does masses of good, and says positive and encouraging things about numerous other artists and young performers. The media have just picked up on very occasional negative comments he has made and milked them in the usual way
My fathers name was Daniel and I’m named after him. He passed away in a car accident and this song brings me to tears. I love you a dad and miss you so much
@@garyculver7846 they wrote this song, after reading a newsarticle about a guy who returned from Vietnam, and was treated as like hero by everyone in his hometown, but he just wanted to return to his normal life. His name was Daniel. This song was written for him.
The look on the man’s face who requested the song at the end says it all. He finally got to pay tribute to someone who meant so much to him. What an incredible gift
He's an awesome entertainer and he's going to be missed so sadly this is one man that I didn't realize how good he was but I've heard that I started listening to music like a month ago and I'll tell you what I'm just saying to translate I mean I'll tell you what he is a performer entertainer he is all that
Such a lovely song and Talented performer, . This song brings my son Daniel James to mind and my brother as well both named the same but neither of them survived unfortunately 😢 ... Elton John Rocks ❤
Twenty six years ago today, my brother Russell was killed by a drunk driver. I change Daniel's name to my brother Russell's name when I sing or hear this song. I celebrate his life every year with this song. I know many people have found their comfort in this. I thank Sir Elton for blessing us with this healing song and as a way for us to remember those we have lost.
I have been singing this song since I was a kid. I Lost My Brother to Suicide in 2013. I always belt out David. Thank You for sharing and I am so sorry for Your loss.
I saw him live in Omaha, NE about 9 or 10 years ago, it was the longest concert I had ever been to, because half way thru the set he stopped playing and signed autographs and talked with the crowd for over two full hours straight, I thought that was so amazing that he took the time out of his busy life to do that. Many people ended up with signed copies of him on vinyl.
As a teen in the 70s, my dad hated all of the pop, rock, and disco. He liked country music only. But he loved this song because my youngest brother's name is Daniel. So my Dad would let us play EJs greatest hits when he and mom were in the living room. He then really started to like the music of Elton John. It's strange how one song can change a person's opinion on music in general.
Bernie Taupin wrote "Daniel" while inspired by the events of the Vietnam War. The lyrics (including a verse in the original draft that was cut from the final version) describe a fictional veteran who was blinded as a result of the war ("your eyes have died"/"but you see more than I") and travels to Spain to escape those around him back home ("do you still feel the pain"/"of the scars that won't heal?"), including his brother, from whose point of view the story is told.[4]
Lost my friend today called Daniel. He sadly took his own life whilst in his mid 20's. I came here and discovered this song around 10 years ago, it's never felt so poignant than today. Big love Daniel X
This reminds me so much of my son who was murdered by two cowards..."God it looks like Daniel... must be the clouds in my eyes" I miss you son, so very, very much !!

I burst into tears when Elton stood up and said, "Sure" and then began playing. I'm not really a person who cares about lyrics or gets emotional when listening to music. Yes, I've cried while listening to music, but rarely ever have I cried BECAUSE of music. But here I am, crying the rest of the song through. I don't know someone named Daniel or have lost someone very close to me yet, thankfully... But this display of the highest humanity and art really has touched me.
I have a twin brother named Daniel, who passed away very tragically back in 1998. My family was utterly devastated by his sudden departure. The evening after his funeral, I was home alone in my apartment, weeping over our loss. My faith was strong that his spirit was still alive, so before going to bed, I prayed out loud, talking to him as if Daniel was still in the room with me. I said, "Danny, please send me a signal that you're okay "on the other side". I went to bed. When I woke up the next morning to get ready for work, I turned on the radio and prepared my breakfast, going about my normal morning routine. As soon as the radio turned on, Elton's song DANIEL began playing from the start IMMEDIATELY (with no radio voice over or commercial before it). I stood there in stunned awe, crying my eyes out, with chills also running up and down my spine. It was the first time I TRULY HEARD THE HAUNTING LYRICS OF THAT SONG! My prayer was answered by my brother! I thanked him out loud. That experience helped me to heal faster than my other family members. I still see him in dreams and visions from time to time. We all live on, folks. This beautiful song will always be apart of that eternal lesson! Thank you, Sir Elton!
Thank you for sharing your most beautiful, heartwarming story. My sincere condolences on the loss of your beloved twin brother whom is with you in spirit each and every day until you reunite someday. ♥️
I lost my first born boy , his name was Andrew he died of SID ‘s 32 years ago and I still miss him.But The Lord my God bless me the next year with twins. Blessings
I had this song played at my sons funeral. His name was Daniel and he was murdered by a drug addict 12 years ago. He was 19 years old and didn’t deserve to die so violently and at such a young age. He begged for his life over and over with avail. God I miss him so much.
That's something special .... One of the biggest musical acts in the world taking requests . So glad i grew up with your music Sir Elton John , You have stood the test of time and your music will be forever remembered .
A real artist who can produce a perfect live performance like this at a moment's notice. Saw him in concert and it's one of the best live shows I've ever seen.
Rusty--- Heh, yeah this IS a rather sticky wicket, innit? No one is trying to sound cruel to people like Terry or any Elton fan (I count myself among them) when we point out the obvious (and inevitable) and that is this: Elton's voice is a faint shadow of what it once was. I don't believe there is any more ability to hit the "Elton" notes. This is problematic because so MANY of his greatest hits feature at some point a falsetto. I saw him in 1994 at Ohio State football stadium with Billy Joel who was in the middle of his RIVER OF DREAMS tour (which I saw as well). Even in '94 Elton's voice was not up to the material, but he was able to finesse a lower range falsettto...and not one person among the 80,000 people present cared. We love the Man AND the Artist. Billy is having those problems today, has been for some time and his fans, me among them, still enjoy listening...but it is NOTHING like it used to be, and not as entertaining. We know they are doing the "autotune" gimmick and I would hate to see Elton or Billy stay too long at the fair, in this case the arena. So, when a fan calls Elton's performance "perfect", it's time we stopped pretending that our heroes are "Past it". They are elderly now. Hell, I was 17 when in 1977 I became a Billy Joel fanatic. Now, I am 57---Billy is 68 and Elton is 70. Very few singers keep their range into old age. Two that stand out are Neil Sedaka and Michael Martin Murphy who on the David Letterman Show performed "Wildfire" 30 years after it's release...and sang it in the ORIGINAL KEY. The falsetto was not diminished in the slightest, It's fabulous to see and hear but it's rare. Sorry for the novel.
He understood the connection and impact his music had on this man and without hesitation made this fellas day. This is why elton is so great, he's not to important to be bothered and could have easily said nope. This needs to be shown to every performer just to show them to be humble and thankful to those who provide them their outlet
Sou brasileiro com muito orgulho e respeito! Mas é incrível como essas músicas mexem no fundo da alma. Nada de Anita, Pablo vittar e muitas outras porcarias. Apenas o talento e dom de um grande ícone e artista da história da música mundial. Elton John!!! Madonna começou bem, mas hoje em dia teve que se rebaixar ao ridículo. Virou motivo de piada.
Bollocks! By his own admission, he was a spoiled, self centered, prima donna who had no regard for the feelings of others. He's been very honest about that. It's not even debatable!
@@DG-mv6zw I remember seeing him on TMZ lash out in a tirade of profanities at a woman camera person with whom he had a grudge. It was an ugly scene and forever paints the way I think about him. Nasty man.
Our son, Daniel, died when he was 3... We went away together as a family last weekend, to mark his 13th heaven day. He would have turned 16 last October and I know he would have been such a fun kid to watch grow up. Daniel was so smart and funny and compassionate towards others. He loved his big sister and I know he told his little sister about us, before she joined us, here on earth. I absolutely love this song and picturing Daniel waving goodbye... until we meet again. Our friend wrote a song about our Daniel... it's on TH-cam... Daniel's Song (I'll Come Home to You), about dancing down the streets of gold together in heaven one day and singing over the rainbow (he loved movies, especially The Wizard of Oz). I hope it blesses others who hear it and encourages them to enjoy their kids and loved ones. ❤️ 🌈
Twenty-three years ago today, April 26, 1997, my brother Daniel lost his battle with cancer. He was only 30. My parents have 4 children...Daniel is the third son and I am the youngest and only daughter. This song resonates with me on so many levels. Daniel truly is a star in the face of the sky. 💖💔😢

My friend Daniel died when his plane crashed 3 years ago. The first time I heard this song on an old vinyl I couldn't believe it. It's like Elton John knew the hole Story. We were like brothers when we were in school. My longest friend. I miss him and I love this song. We'll meet again Daniel...

In 1993 i lost a great friend named Daniel. This Song remember him every time. He was only 17 at time. God bless you, my friend Daniel. God bless you, Sir Elton John
That was amazing, and incredibly sweet and kind. I'm actually crying a river here, not only because this version is so beautiful, but also because of the pure, honest simplicity with which he granted the man his wish. I can't even imagine how the guy felt, knowing he was able to send a greeting of such magnitude to his departed friend.

Doubtless the audience requester man (albeit his story of his friend, true) was a scripted "plant"; and too, Elton's comply play of "Daniel" on a staged, microphoned organ keyboard, accompanied by a xylophonist. But like good theatre impresarios and actors, they made it seem spontaneous.
During the months that Daniel was in the charts and playing on the radio many times a day, I considered it a pleasant, non-emotional song. But as the years roll by, it has turned into a tear-jerker. This performance takes the cake
This is my brother Steve Nicholas. He passed away 9 years ago from Cancer. When I need to see him or hear his voice this is what I always turn to. I love and miss you Steven
My cousin Daniel took his life last week. We were huge Elton John fans, so there are many memories to fall back on. He wanted this played at his funeral...
The older I get the more powerful this masterpiece becomes. This version is particularly strong. My brothers name is Daniel, I really hope he outlives me.
He was at the hospital before Ryan White passed away. He still keeps in touch with his family Ryan White’s family. He didnt want publicity. He asked the doctors to tell him the prognosis day by day so he can tell his mother. He also paid for the mother’s new house when she got remarried after he passed away. Top notch guy
I had a cousin named Daniel who passed away many years ago. Since I knew this song I believe that is one of the most beautiful songs of the history of music.
Just saw him live in his final tour. One of the very best concerts I have ever seen. His voice and piano playing were still absolutely magical and the band he surrounded himself with was outstanding! They killed it for almost 3 hours. I feel so lucky to have been there. Thanks Elton!
How many of our "superstars" of today will be still around singing their "own" songs that are on the lips of the majority of listeners. after 50 years...not many like Sir Elton who has been inspirational to a numerous generations.
It's always the same, they spend so much effort sucking the life out of music in a studio but you put an artist on the spot and in one take they deliver the goods.
this song remind of my sister varvonica, she was older then me too, she died 25 years ago, an every time i here this song i get very emotional an teary eyed.
This beautiful song make me remind my nephew he passed one week ago, he was living in Barcelona Spain, since 2015, unfortunately at 33 years old he died , we ara from Venezuela, . This song’s lyrics make me feel such a identity on him , Rest on Peace my dear nephew Ivan Daniel Messori
Makes me weep. Not ashamed. Beautiful rendition. There's a sense of humility and decency about Elton that is just wonderful. Taupins lyrical tale of longing and unwanted change by lifes' circumstances are spot on. Remembering my friend Danny Burbutis. Life is just so short and unpredictable. Enjoy every day.
Elton, you jumped up and went over and played the song at his request. Big heart! :) I have a brother named Daniel. This song stirs feelings. He was abused growing up, and has suffered for years mentally because of it. I love him more than he’ll ever know. He is my “star”. Even though our relationship is strained because of all the pain, I remember all our good times and you as my brother.
As much as that meant to the man in the audience, it meant even more to me. Although Daniel was not his name, I always think of my older brother murdered at 23. I will never get to see Elton John in concert, but this was awesome for me to see. Thank You Elton.
Daniel was wrote for a Vietnam vet who returned and couldn't live with the constant attention of a small town in Texas, he left to live in Spain to escape it.
I also relate this song to my beloved older sister Dawn Whom I lost early in life Take from us ... I can see her waving goodbye.. Must be the clouds in my eyes I MISS YOU DAWN FOREVER 6/17/88
Bill Hessner .... That's my story exactly , got listening to him at 12 or 13 and now i'm 57 and love his music even more now . Some artists really have it and some are good , but just don't have it .... Music is magical and Elton John has the magic power of the music in him !!
I was introduced to Sir Elton John by my brother at age 16. Last Christmas he gave me Elton John's biography, I have yet to read it. Thank you to my brother. He and the rest of my family live in Toronto. I live about an hour and a half away. From a proud Canadian fan forever. 🇨🇦🌈🦋❤🌹
I saw him a couple of times in Nashville. Absolute, consummate pro. He made every song look easy and effortless, and engaged the audience and made them part of the show. A true artist.
I grew up with EJ's music, and what a time it was!! I sure miss the years when we had such great singer/songwriters. EJ's music will remain timeless and a source of great inspiration to many of us. EJ is such a kind, compassionate man, and this shines through in so much of his music. The fact that he played this song for this stranger in the audience shows his immense capacity to empathize and his understanding of other people's hearts. This is a lot of what makes his music so great. Thanks, Elton, for all of the great music you've given us, over the years.
Elton's made himself a figure of fun at times but he is a stellar musician and entertainer, and he has an obvious emotional connection to the music and the words.
![MEYOU - กอดหมอน [OFFICIAL MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RAG4Ee8FPxA/mqdefault.jpg)
Sir Elton says "Sure."
And then he nonchalantly plays a masterpiece.
Just like Ray Charles...
An absolute masterpiece!
The more you learn about TV show formats, the more you'll understand this was pre-planned. The keyboard was even pre-set to suit this song's key and timbre.

saw him in Savannah, GA last year..He could not have been nicer or more friendly
Pianoman 70s style greatest
Pianoman 70s style , that's why he's the greatest
My fathers name was Daniel and I’m named after him. He passed away in a car accident and this song brings me to tears. I love you a dad and miss you so much
I am extremely sorry for the loss of your father, Daniel. May he continue to forever be in your heart. ❤️
Always remember the good times, my condolences
So sorry 🙏 Beautiful song
Im sorry one day you’ll see your father again in heaven
Nice bro
To just say "sure", walk up, and just nail the song because a fan asked is just amazing. A true performer.
Words dont describe my respect for him.
I miss performers like him..
The generosity... all the verses and all the choruses
One of the few remaining.
He did not even hesitate to just get up and play. He played for the fans emotions. Much respect.
That was the point of the show im pretty sure, he was asked to take requests...
I would like to know the back story of the Song?
Right? Let's see if Taylor Swift would do the same,, No because she's a Democrat, we're beneath her
@@garyculver7846 they wrote this song, after reading a newsarticle about a guy who returned from Vietnam, and was treated as like hero by everyone in his hometown, but he just wanted to return to his normal life. His name was Daniel. This song was written for him.
@@rockthatbox2186 Elton John supports the Labor Party, so he’s a Democrat as well. Politics has absolutely nothing to do with this.
"I'm wondering if you can play that song?"
"Sure!"
No hesitation, no explaination, simply "sure" ! Mad respect !
❤
Sometimes Elton songs are far more beautiful when it's just him and the piano.
The look on the man’s face who requested the song at the end says it all. He finally got to pay tribute to someone who meant so much to him. What an incredible gift
grande e muito bom solista suas músicas maravilhosas e especiais que Deus te abençoe sempre com muita saúde paz e alegria
Daniel
He's an awesome entertainer and he's going to be missed so sadly this is one man that I didn't realize how good he was but I've heard that I started listening to music like a month ago and I'll tell you what I'm just saying to translate I mean I'll tell you what he is a performer entertainer he is all that
i just love the way he got up and started to sing the song on the guy's request. This man is Great.
Class
Wow...! great song i love it thx sir elton John really missed my only brother too 😢😢😢😢😢
He didn’t hesitate or nothing!
Oh, you think that wasn't all rehearsed?
What, is he gonna say "no" in front of a huge TV and studio audience!
I named my youngest son after this song. He is now 34. I used to sing it to him when he was a baby. I love my sons more than anything. ❤
I too named my son after this song....
Wonderful. I get it
Such a lovely song and Talented performer, . This song brings my son Daniel James to mind and my brother as well both named the same but neither of them survived unfortunately 😢 ... Elton John Rocks ❤
I’m 43 and I was named Danielle after this song. My son is named Daniel James after me and this song. 🙂
I named my first born son Daniel when I first knew I was pregnant in '85. He had a fit in his bed at night and suffocated. Dear Daniel😢
Twenty six years ago today, my brother Russell was killed by a drunk driver. I change Daniel's name to my brother Russell's name when I sing or hear this song.

I lost my brother Daniel related to a service connected thing. This song melts me anyway and the fact that he just got up and played it means so much
Didn't even think twice about playing the song for the guy. Pretty fucking cool.
ESEE Junglas! Gotta love ESEE.
NickTheKnife Yezzzrrr!
I saw him live in Omaha, NE about 9 or 10 years ago, it was the longest concert I had ever been to, because half way thru the set he stopped playing and signed autographs and talked with the crowd for over two full hours straight, I thought that was so amazing that he took the time out of his busy life to do that. Many people ended up with signed copies of him on vinyl.
yea, and threw it down like nothing!!
I believe E!ton would do that for a fan. It's the media and intrusive paparazzi he dislikes.
As a teen in the 70s, my dad hated all of the pop, rock, and disco. He liked country music only. But he loved this song because my youngest brother's name is Daniel. So my Dad would let us play EJs greatest hits when he and mom were in the living room. He then really started to like the music of Elton John.

love that comment.
Adorooooo
Yes, "it's a little bit funny..." how that can happen. ;)
Same with me and John Mayer. Until I hear Gravity from the Live in L.A. concert. Wasn't there though...
The song remembers when always
The fact Elton John is kind enough to play a song a fan asked him to play is so kind of him. Elton John is a true legend we are so lucky to not loose.
This is the most soulful cover of Daniel I have ever heard from Elton. What a guy!
Bernie Taupin wrote "Daniel" while inspired by the events of the Vietnam War. The lyrics (including a verse in the original draft that was cut from the final version) describe a fictional veteran who was blinded as a result of the war ("your eyes have died"/"but you see more than I") and travels to Spain to escape those around him back home ("do you still feel the pain"/"of the scars that won't heal?"), including his brother, from whose point of view the story is told.[4]
Thank you
o a
Thanks indeed. Saved me a Google search, lol.
always wondered about that
Now the song makes more sense. Thank you
...And This is why we call him Sir, Elton John.
Absolutely!!! ♥️♥️
Exactly!
Lost my friend today called Daniel. He sadly took his own life whilst in his mid 20's. I came here and discovered this song around 10 years ago, it's never felt so poignant than today. Big love Daniel X
This has always been my favorite song of Elton's because it seems so heart-felt. Bless this man for playing it without hesitation.
This reminds me so much of my son who was murdered by two cowards..."God it looks like Daniel... must be the clouds in my eyes" I miss you son, so very, very much !!
Manuel Aguilar I am so sorry for your loss. Bless you and peace.
Manuel Aguilar :,,, (
Prayer will be said for you and your son my friend.may the lord be with you.and one day you shall be reunited with your son.of that I am sure!
That is so so so so sad Manuel. God Bless
Bless you.
Why am I crying? I don't even know anyone called Daniel... damn onions
Pass the tissues. I can barely see through the tears to type this!
must be the clouds in your eyes.
Now I'm really crying..

Ty Elton John I had a son born in 1975 I had named him Daniel he died of SID's 64 days after he was born I love this song
God bless you
beautiful song........I hope it doesent hurt too much to listen to this......................
I lost my first born boy , his name was Andrew he died of SID ‘s 32 years ago and I still miss him.But The Lord my God bless me the next year with twins. Blessings
I had this song played at my sons funeral. His name was Daniel and he was murdered by a drug addict 12 years ago. He was 19 years old and didn’t deserve to die so violently and at such a young age. He begged for his life over and over with avail. God I miss him so much.
That's something special .... One of the biggest musical acts in the world taking requests . So glad i grew up with your music Sir Elton John , You have stood the test of time and your music will be forever remembered .
A real artist who can produce a perfect live performance like this at a moment's notice. Saw him in concert and it's one of the best live shows I've ever seen.
Rusty--- Heh, yeah this IS a rather sticky wicket, innit? No one is trying to sound cruel to people like Terry or any Elton fan (I count myself among them) when we point out the obvious (and inevitable) and that is this: Elton's voice is a faint shadow of what it once was. I don't believe there is any more ability to hit the "Elton" notes. This is problematic because so MANY of his greatest hits feature at some point a falsetto. I saw him in 1994 at Ohio State football stadium with Billy Joel who was in the middle of his RIVER OF DREAMS tour (which I saw as well). Even in '94 Elton's voice was not up to the material, but he was able to finesse a lower range falsettto...and not one person among the 80,000 people present cared. We love the Man AND the Artist. Billy is having those problems today, has been for some time and his fans, me among them, still enjoy listening...but it is NOTHING like it used to be, and not as entertaining. We know they are doing the "autotune" gimmick and I would hate to see Elton or Billy stay too long at the fair, in this case the arena. So, when a fan calls Elton's performance "perfect", it's time we stopped pretending that our heroes are "Past it". They are elderly now. Hell, I was 17 when in 1977 I became a Billy Joel fanatic. Now, I am 57---Billy is 68 and Elton is 70. Very few singers keep their range into old age. Two that stand out are Neil Sedaka and Michael Martin Murphy who on the David Letterman Show performed "Wildfire" 30 years after it's release...and sang it in the ORIGINAL KEY. The falsetto was not diminished in the slightest, It's fabulous to see and hear but it's rare. Sorry for the novel.
Terry Clark same! Just seen him oct 13th of this year on his farewell tour it was so beautiful
Indeed!
He is AMAZING in concert
Absolutely I can play that. Doesn’t need a band or rehearsal. He wrote the shit
I think of my son Daniel.I lost him to cancer at 17...
+Terian Ratcliff I'm really sorry to hear that, I'm sure he'll always be in your heart.
+Terian Ratcliff , So very sorry, we lost our only son this summer. Prayers
Your Daniel forever beats in your heart alive and smilin... always 💖2💖
+Terian Ratcliff Sad to hear, Glad you can remember him by this song
So sorry to hear. I'm sure this song has very special meaning for you when you hear it.
I just lost my son Daniel with 25 years only. This song will be with me forever
He understood the connection and impact his music had on this man and without hesitation made this fellas day. This is why elton is so great, he's not to important to be bothered and could have easily said nope. This needs to be shown to every performer just to show them to be humble and thankful to those who provide them their outlet
and that without US... they would be nothing but a poor musician.... same with actors... if not for US....
Sou brasileiro com muito orgulho e respeito! Mas é incrível como essas músicas mexem no fundo da alma. Nada de Anita, Pablo vittar e muitas outras porcarias. Apenas o talento e dom de um grande ícone e artista da história da música mundial. Elton John!!! Madonna começou bem, mas hoje em dia teve que se rebaixar ao ridículo. Virou motivo de piada.
Anyone else have scars that just won't heal ?
Dave Benny yes.. I guess we all have some kind of scar my friend :(
Many :(
Dave Benny probably the reason most of us are here brother. lots of love to you! cheers mate
we all do buddy, stay strong :)
I feel like everyone does... Some more than others but some just cover them up a bit more.
Elton John is one very decent human being.
UNBELIEVABLE AWESOME ARTIST
Kevin Ward so true
Very decent is an understatement
Bollocks! By his own admission, he was a spoiled, self centered, prima donna who had no regard for the feelings of others. He's been very honest about that. It's not even debatable!
@@DG-mv6zw I remember seeing him on TMZ lash out in a tirade of profanities at a woman camera person with whom he had a grudge. It was an ugly scene and forever paints the way I think about him. Nasty man.
Our son, Daniel, died when he was 3...
We went away together as a family last weekend, to mark his 13th heaven day. He would have turned 16 last October and I know he would have been such a fun kid to watch grow up. Daniel was so smart and funny and compassionate towards others. He loved his big sister and I know he told his little sister about us, before she joined us, here on earth.
I absolutely love this song and picturing Daniel waving goodbye... until we meet again. Our friend wrote a song about our Daniel... it's on TH-cam... Daniel's Song (I'll Come Home to You), about dancing down the streets of gold together in heaven one day and singing over the rainbow (he loved movies, especially The Wizard of Oz). I hope it blesses others who hear it and encourages them to enjoy their kids and loved ones. ❤️ 🌈
Amen
Twenty-three years ago today, April 26, 1997, my brother Daniel lost his battle with cancer. He was only 30. My parents have 4 children...Daniel is the third son and I am the youngest and only daughter. This song resonates with me on so many levels. Daniel truly is a star in the face of the sky. 💖💔😢
So sorry 😢 ❤️
Tears❤
❤️❤️😢
awww im so sorry. wow, wish you the best.
As soon as his hands touched the piano somebody started cutting the damn onions!!
That was me! x
Mr.Sickboy Same. Every damn time.
Me too. Every single time I hear this song. It's so beautiful but I can never listen to it.

In 1993 i lost a great friend named Daniel. This Song remember him every time. He was only 17 at time. God bless you, my friend Daniel. God bless you, Sir Elton John
How incredibly heartfelt of the man to share the memory of his friend Danny and kind of Elton to grant his request.
Named my son after this song.I have never regreted it.Thank you Elton.
That was amazing, and incredibly sweet and kind. I'm actually crying a river here, not only because this version is so beautiful, but also because of the pure, honest simplicity with which he granted the man his wish. I can't even imagine how the guy felt, knowing he was able to send a greeting of such magnitude to his departed friend.
Yes Felis Terras - that struck me too - he simply granted the man's wish - so pure.

Same here.. Im bawling right now as i get ready to send my oldest child out of the nest this morning.. Im excited but so worried
Goodbye much respect and love go to you and your family
Elton John and Bernie Taupin was gods way of saying song writing will never die.
They were a match made in heaven.
Lennon/McCartney will always reign supreme. Elton and Bernie are a close second
@@WakaWaka2468 lennon himself said that elton/taupin was the best thing since the beatles
Very true ❤️ 💙
Sir Elton John, You've got all my respect and admiration as an artist and a human being.
What a true gentleman to just play a request on a whim like that. You are the best Sir Elton John!!!
So sweet for him to satisfy this mans request. In that moment, how could he not. Such a beautiful melody. Elton Johns music is so unique ...
Doubtless the audience requester man (albeit his story of his friend, true) was a scripted "plant"; and too, Elton's comply play of "Daniel" on a staged, microphoned organ keyboard, accompanied by a xylophonist. But like good theatre impresarios and actors, they made it seem spontaneous.
1977 I lost my brother in a car accident. This song brings back a flood of emotion unparalleled like no other
My sincere condolences on the loss of your brother in a tragic automobile accident. 💔😔
Love is with you ❤
No studio effects needed. Just a naturally beautiful voice.
My uncle Dannie passed away of a heart attack… 2009.. i absolutely adored him… I miss you uncle Dannie..
During the months that Daniel was in the charts and playing on the radio many times a day, I considered it a pleasant, non-emotional song. But as the years roll by, it has turned into a tear-jerker. This performance takes the cake
This is my brother Steve Nicholas. He passed away 9 years ago from Cancer. When I need to see him or hear his voice this is what I always turn to. I love and miss you Steven
My cousin Daniel took his life last week. We were huge Elton John fans, so there are many memories to fall back on. He wanted this played at his funeral...
🙏🙏🙏🙋
Elton is a class act. I grew up enjoying his music... he never disappoints... his talent is unmatched.... thank you Elton...

The older I get the more powerful this masterpiece becomes. This version is particularly strong.
My brothers name is Daniel, I really hope he outlives me.
That’s really a sweet wish , I really wish more humans were like you instead of like humans ...
My dad's favorite song, my dad passed away 7 years ago and I miss him so much. 💕
He was at the hospital before Ryan White passed away. He still keeps in touch with his family Ryan White’s family. He didnt want publicity. He asked the doctors to tell him the prognosis day by day so he can tell his mother. He also paid for the mother’s new house when she got remarried after he passed away. Top notch guy
My son's name is Daniel, he's just been deployed, "oh I miss him so much"
Maryann Merritt hope he got home safe
Did he come back safe.. Thank you for his service and your family's as well..
Hope hes back home safe
My son was in a nuclear sub for 5 years in the Navy, this song always made me well up. My son's name is Daniel...
My best friend was named Daniel and he died in a car accident. This song always reminds me of him. I miss him.
This song always makes me cry.
How the hell can you thumbs down this beautiful song. Screw the haters. All wrong
I had a cousin named Daniel who passed away many years ago. Since I knew this song I believe that is one of the most beautiful songs of the history of music.
Just saw him live in his final tour. One of the very best concerts I have ever seen. His voice and piano playing were still absolutely magical and the band he surrounded himself with was outstanding! They killed it for almost 3 hours. I feel so lucky to have been there. Thanks Elton!
God follows Sir Elton John from the beginning - what a blessing - He shows us how to love
This guy will never forget that request. Just beautiful.
How many of our "superstars" of today will be still around singing their "own" songs that are on the lips of the majority of listeners. after 50 years...not many like Sir Elton who has been inspirational to a numerous generations.
It's always the same, they spend so much effort sucking the life out of music in a studio but you put an artist on the spot and in one take they deliver the goods.
this song remind of my sister varvonica, she was older then me too, she died 25 years ago, an every time i here this song i get very emotional an teary eyed.
hes so sweet.....this song always remimds me of my mom dief it came put a lottle befpre she died ...i was 9 she was 44
"um, OK, sure, I can play that." Thank you, Sir Elton John, for being, well, you. Thank you for your music, and your love.
What a gracious man and awesome performer. Best birthday gift I ever got...tickets to his concert. My sisters and I had a ball!
+Donna Shinall Been going too his concerts and buying his music since early 70's. Great music for sure!
Gracious is the best word. He could have simply said no. Whatta guy...
so beautiful just kill me now
I'm so jealous! Memories to last a lifetime
Alberto cortez
My name is Daniel. He made me cry, again.
This beautiful song make me remind my nephew he passed one week ago, he was living in Barcelona Spain, since 2015, unfortunately at 33 years old he died , we ara from Venezuela, . This song’s lyrics make me feel such a identity on him , Rest on Peace my dear nephew Ivan Daniel Messori
I wanna say this was one of Elton's favorite songs he every recorded...such a talent
Makes me weep. Not ashamed. Beautiful rendition. There's a sense of humility and decency about Elton that is just wonderful. Taupins lyrical tale of longing and unwanted change by lifes' circumstances are spot on. Remembering my friend Danny Burbutis. Life is just so short and unpredictable. Enjoy every day.
Elton John has the loveliest voice and contribution to my life. Thank you x
Anyone who doesn't get some tears from this, ain't human!😭😁
One of my many favourite songs by Sir Elton John.
Elton, you jumped up and went over and played the song at his request. Big heart! :)
I have a brother named Daniel. This song stirs feelings. He was abused growing up, and has suffered for years mentally because of it. I love him more than he’ll ever know. He is my “star”. Even though our relationship is strained because of all the pain, I remember all our good times and you as my brother.
As much as that meant to the man in the audience, it meant even more to me. Although Daniel was not his name, I always think of my older brother murdered at 23. I will never get to see Elton John in concert, but this was awesome for me to see. Thank You Elton.
Daniel was wrote for a Vietnam vet who returned and couldn't live with the constant attention of a small town in Texas, he left to live in Spain to escape it.
Elton John puts on a great concert. If you ever have a chance to see him, go. He is a one man show.
A musical genius that has 127 songs that have gone gold. He must dream music.
will be seeing him next year.. I cannot wait! xx
I also relate this song to my beloved older sister Dawn
Whom I lost early in life
Take from us ... I can see her waving goodbye..
Must be the clouds in my eyes
I MISS YOU DAWN FOREVER 6/17/88
My brother Daniel was named after this song by my father. He passed away on 8/17/23. He was 43. I hope he found his ✌️. We love you 4/Eva
Sir Elton thank you for all the great music and the ability to still share. Your music has been a part of my life since I was 12, I'm now 57.
Bill Hessner .... That's my story exactly , got listening to him at 12 or 13 and now i'm 57 and love his music even more now . Some artists really have it and some are good , but just don't have it .... Music is magical and Elton John has the magic power of the music in him !!
This was 15 years ago, sadly his voice has grown much older with time. Luckily videos like this keep his music alive
I had a boyfriend whose older brother passed away. His name wasn't Daniel, but this song always made my boyfriend cry.
I was introduced to Sir Elton John by my brother at age 16.
Last Christmas he gave me Elton John's biography, I have yet to read it. Thank you to my brother. He and the rest of my family live in Toronto. I live about an hour and a half away. From a proud Canadian fan forever. 🇨🇦🌈🦋❤🌹
He is soo amazing didnt even hesitate jumped up and played it what an awsome performer !!!
Sir Elton John ... there is and always be only one like him. A real Sir.. you are loved by many.
Sir Elton created a beautiful memory without any hesitation or preparation.
That man and others will never forget this moment. Beautiful post.
Years ego I lucky to see Elton live and it was unforgettable the best ever !!!!!!
OMG. Sir Elton is a true legend.
I saw him a couple of times in Nashville. Absolute, consummate pro. He made every song look easy and effortless, and engaged the audience and made them part of the show. A true artist.
Saw him in Fukuoka, Japan. Just him and the Grand Piano for 2 hours. Best concert I ever been to.
Saw him in Charlotte NC i miss him already and the band i fell in love
that song is getting stronger with the years
That was very nice of Elton John to play a request from the man that lost his friend. I'm not going to lie, I cried a little while watching this.
I grew up with EJ's music, and what a time it was!! I sure miss the years when we had such great singer/songwriters. EJ's music will remain timeless and a source of great inspiration to many of us. EJ is such a kind, compassionate man, and this shines through in so much of his music. The fact that he played this song for this stranger in the audience shows his immense capacity to empathize and his understanding of other people's hearts. This is a lot of what makes his music so great. Thanks, Elton, for all of the great music you've given us, over the years.
Elton's made himself a figure of fun at times but he is a stellar musician and entertainer, and he has an obvious emotional connection to the music and the words.
One beautiful man to another 🙏
My brother..my dad...my grandfather...are all named Daniel. The only one still living is my oldest brother. This song has a special place in my ❤
