Elton John - Blue Eyes

[@ryenn3884]

My father saw this video being made. My father arrived in Sydney, Australia from Sri Lanka in January 1982. New to the country and alone, my dad wasted no time and explored Bondi and Bronte, which led him to Mackenzies Point in Marks Park. There, he joined a crowd of observers watching a man playing piano with a film crew a fair distance from him. He stayed till the end of the filming and watched the performer and camera crew disappear into the evening, leaving my father to just watch the sea by the turret that the performer had been an hour prior. The beautiful and serene images in this video gives me a clue as to what that day must have looked like through my father's eyes. The dated quality of the video gives me chills as it re-enforces just how long ago my father arrived in the new country as a single young man starting a new life. My father may not have been in this video, but he was there to see it being made and I feel he is there, in the video. Just not visible.

I am adopted, I traced my biological mother a few years ago, but she passed away in 2013, I did learn through a letter that this song was one she listened to a lot as it was released when I was born and she thought about me, I have blue eyes, this is the first time I've listened to it without crying.. its a beautiful song and it's about all I have of her..

This beautiful song is fused in my memory back during the Summer of 1982. It was then that I had met and fallen in love with a blue eyed lady ten years older than me. Our days however were numbered as she died of breast cancer in 1994. Let’s all remember how precious time is and never waste it…

[@renaz630]

This song means so very much to me and I thank Sir Elton John for writing it. My mother loved this song and we viewed it on tv. I was younger then,and I thought the man playing the piano was handsome! 'I was gonna marry him someday!' lol. At any rate,my mother had blue eyes,she passed 4 days after my dad. After losing them, it devasted me. I'm still not right. I hear this song occasionally,and the verse," like a clear blue sky, watching over me," makes me think she's doing just that. I hope so.

Beautiful and sad of course.. hey we are here 4 u 💙..

Hi Rena. My sincere condolences for your loss; it is hard to imagine your pain. I woke up this morning thinking about my own mother, who has been ill and bedridden for almost 3.5 years now. She has clear blue eyes and this song makes me think of her too. So sad, but helps to wash away some sorrow. We must experience the pain so we can move beyond it with time. Take good care 🥺

She told me that life is a lot like this beautiful song - if you think people don't make life beautiful like they used to anymore, then allow yourself to feel like you can be the first person to create and celebrate it, and people will dance to it. Beauty that refuses to die... Gorgeous song. =*)

This brings me back to year 2004. I was in a hospital for quite a while and there was this guy, who was playing piano pretty often in ”activity room”. He loved Elton John’s songs a lot and once he played this to me when I was feeling down because of my weak condition. Everytime I hear this, I smile a bit. Even after 15 years.

...THIS was probably Elton's 'sexiest' period; he was fuller, but physically fit, the excess of his 70's wear gave way to more tailored, subdued clothing, & the Hats became more stylized, and chic..."Blue Eyes" also presented a new 'sound' Elton would stick with through most of his career, 1982-ish, and ONWARDS...A #12 Pop hit, this was Elton at his most interpretive......
