This was the first Elton John song I remember hearing as a teenager growing up in Cleveland back in the early 70's. I was a geeky sci-fi fan and this song really hit home. I still play it on the piano at home when no one's around except the dogs, who don't care how badly I sing it. :-)

Fellow can't be expected to be able to be long winded enough for this song anymore, its amazing he still can sing like that. Who cares if he can't take all the high notes or hold the breath too long. What he cannot do with his voice, he does with the piano. Did anyone even take the time to listen and watch those hands? The man is a legend. Sir Elton John, one of the greatest of our time.

@bocobob7 жыл бұрын
Watch Elton John Rocket Man live at Royal Festival Hall 1972 after watching this video and then maybe you'll see what I'm saying. Back then it was raw emotion , now it's just going through the motions. I get the fact that he's not a young man and things change, but it's just an observation. He's still great of course.
@fanaticaldueling63377 жыл бұрын
bocobob I just watched the video. I still feel this one has more emotion. I also like his volume in this one, it's much louder and bold. I personally didn't like his voice from 1985-1993. In 1994 when I heard him sing "The Circle of Life" that gave me hope in his future. But now, in my opinion, he got his game back. I love his lower voice and I love how he modified the songs to fit it.

There are things that are timeless are indestructible. Even all of the dark forces coming at you from all directions will miss the real target, for they are looking for their own demons, and it is through that ignorance that they will eventually miss the essence. You had it for short while, but you lost it in an instant even before you noticed, the kingdom that could have been yours, departed you, for you betrayed yourself. There is only self, and this is something that til this day you are yet to comprehend.

Nice performance. Actually, his voice is better here than it was at some of his live performances 10-15 years prior. And the instrumentation and presentation was excellent.
It's really interesting to see how his performance has changed over the decades. A lot of the higher notes are sorta left out or changed and I think that kinda helps mix it up a bit. I honestly don't get the people who think he's a shitty singer now
