Rip Johnny!! U will never be forgotten!!!

[@gretchennelson7056]

Not ever.

[@gretchennelson7056]

Not ever

[@gr8legss]

I’ve always loved this song and it always made me cry and I didn’t know for years that it was about John Lennon.

[@MJ-qb5ph]

I saw him in LA in 1993 doing his tour to launch his album the one. He played simple life and then went straight into empty garden - it is the only time I have ever been reduced to tears like that at a concert. It is one of the finest songs ever written

[@jeffcbuchacher]

I was there: This concert was on March 25, 2007 on the occasion of Sir Elton’s 60th Birthday. It was one of the great privileges and most memorable occasions of my life.

[@vincentbynumbers]

wow, what an epic show to be at!!! i've watched this several times by now... :P including this year, because my birthday is the 26, ha!

[@ticousa]

Great tune !! Awesome musician and song writers. Missing Johnny 🙏

[@becksullivan4796]

Lovely lovely song. Elton has such a variety of sounds. Kind of like the Beatles…😀

[@joelliebler5690]

One of the most touching songs!

[@phoneguy7589]

I'm glad you liked it, the radio version sounds a little different but I like that he explains the song or many wouldn't know what it is about. Thank you sir.

[@Modern-Renaissance-Man]

Thanks for the info!

[@yoranvancampfort-videyo]

Elton John sounds different from any of his studio albums. Which is the great thing about him! :)

[@Ocrilat]

We all knew at the time.

[@AugieDoggyDoo]

Makes me cry, simple as that. There is a whole lot of emotion wrapped up in this song and I can feel it all. Great reaction. Keep them coming

[@kathleenkildare8688]

When I first heard this when it came out, it gave me goosebumps and brought me to tears - still does 30+ years later!

[@angelskunk2206]

Yes, I remember it well too and it evokes the same emotions in me 💔💔💔

[@joeschmoe9154]

Favorite song by Elton John " I guess that's why they call it the Blues"

[@scottchapin2323]

Elton John is the Godfather to John Lennon's son Sean

[@proudarmymom8657]

Absolutely beautiful! Love this, this live performance of this song is just sooo beautiful the words are hauntingly beautiful!! RIP Johnny I've been knocking But no one answers And I've been knocking Most all the day Oh, and I've been calling Oh, hey hey Johnny Can't you come out, can't you come out to play Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden...

[@joelliebler5690]

You needed to hear Elton before his operation, that man could really sing and touch your soul! Your Song, Levon, Daniel, Indian Sunset, Madman Across the Water, Burn Down the Mission, And Where To Now St. Peter. These songs will make you a lifelong Elton John fan and show you how truly great he was!

[@brainsareus]

I was one of those people that heard about it on Monday Night Football from Howard Cosell's lips. [A great sports personality, btw, irrespective of what many say]. it was on free Network TV at the time; ABC ch 7, in the NYC area. I went numb inside.. This Tuesday, it will be 40 years that the great John Lennon has been gone.

[@pattytheseeker8902]

Elton John, such an incredible songwriter. He is deep.

[@No1KCfan6]

This song always makes me cry buckets.

[@beeseewill2407]

Elton John .The m an is a magnificent genius.Just brilliant.

[@TexasMagnolia]

Elton has so many great songs! I tend to forget until I see the title then BAM! Brings me back to the announcement of Lennon’s assassination. Thank you Ty. Too many favorites. One song that hits me...Someone saved my live tonight. Very raw song, recorded during a time Elton was struggling mentally with too many issues, just like we all do.

[@melissa2688]

I love, love, love this song! Elton John loved John Lennon. This is his song to him. Gotta admit that I didn't know that he even played this live. I've seen Elton more than a few times and never heard him play it. Glad I seen this. Thanks for the request and thank you for playing it. Take care and stay safe everyone 😷

[@lisafanninghowe]

Never knew it was about John Lennon.. Wow, makes the song even more beautiful.

[@NicoleMacintyre52]

Wowwwwwww Sir Elton John is one of my favourite singers ! Beautiful song 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️

[@michellewhaley3489]

This song is beautiful but my favorite EJ song is Funeral for a Friend/ Love Lies Bleeding. Can’t get enough of it ❤️

[@robin_the_red_fox4082]

This is a song I told my dad to play over and over again. There was always something about this song I loved, even before I knew what and who it was about. As I grew old enough to understand, my appreciation for it only deepened. I am connected to my dad by this song and I feel Elton’s loss as well. It makes me happy to have someone else listen to it because I have loved this song since I was a kid. Thank you, Renaissance Man. Thank you from my dad as well.

[@stephaniewade2973]

Idky but I heard this song as a pre-teen and had no idea what it was about but it made me cry every single time I heard it and I have no idea why... it's good to know the meaning behind the story for me as well, even if I didn't grow up knowing the Beatles or John Lennon other than by name

[@robin_the_red_fox4082]

@@stephaniewade2973 It is one of those songs where you have to delve a little deeper into the meaning of the lyrics, rather than take at face value. I know that it is a song that Elton only performed in Madison Square Garden just because it had such a personal significance to him. It is where he got John Lennon to perform with him on stage before his death. Aside from the song's intended meaning, it will always hold deep meaning for me as well because of what it meant to my dad and it is such a poignant memory of the two of us that I have. It is for these reasons that this song is my favorite Elton John song.

[@nsans2893]

Elton John . What a phenomenal talent.

[@LaStarza61]

What does this song do to me? It makes me cry. I was 19 years old and a big John Lennon fan when it happened. Do yourself a favor and become familiar with the music of John Lennon.

[@heidithatswho.2481]

This song made me cry as a kid. I remember the day John died.

[@heidithatswho.2481]

The video is something else.

[@krisfox3537]

He's describing the home of John. The Dakota in new York. Across from central park.

[@lelleithmurray235]

Oh my Lord, this gave me goosebumps and you haven't even evaluated it yet. It's a beautiful song.

[@kaafromoz]

"Can You Come Out To Play In Your Empty Garden..Johnny" such potent words to say about such a tragic loss to the world..I recvall where i was and what i was doing when the news flash came on saying John Lennon had been killed..i had to sit down, i cried and the shock lasted for weeks..a beautiful tribute to a great man in so many ways..music politics human rights etc..TY to the subscriber and to you for your reaction..Elton always does his best every performance..My Favourite from Elton dam that is tough but probably is "Your Song" Keep Well Keep Strong My Dear Friend

[@hannahbethisbell331]

It's hard to choose a favorite Elton John song, but check out High Flying Bird. It's a deeper cut, but absolutely stunning.

[@marymacc7633]

High Flying Bird is one of my favorite Elton John songs ❤️

[@scm0717]

This song always gives me goosebumps. When I first heard it, I didn't realize it was about John Lennon. PLEASE listen to John Lennon's "Imagine". I have SO MANY favorites of Elton John, "Funeral for a Friend", "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me", "Rocket Man", "Sacrifice", "Harmony", "Your Song", "Take Me to the Pilot", "Tiny Dancer", "Captain Fantastic", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", "Levon", "Mona Lisas & Madhatters". I've seen Elton John at least 8 times in concert. I have to find this video you had and add it to my favorites.

[@otisdylan9532]

My favorite Elton John Song is "Rocket Man".

[@Hi-kq1vi]

Elton's early 1980's work is sadly overlooked/forgotten because he wasn't working with Taupin & he wasn't having the big singles success like he did in the 1970's. The Fox is a great album.

[@caa1000]

Originally released in 1982 and written by the one who gave life to the Disney's The Lion King soundtrack. Yes, I'm talking about Sir Elton John, which along with Bernie Taupin had penned dozens of greatest hits in Elton John's music career. This song gives a bitter chill look following Lennon's death in 1980. Sad day for all his fans. (I'm not mad if you never went into The Beattles music. You are still cool!)

[@valnauffts9965]

This makes me sadder every time I hear it ,so tragic .

[@linzyaz920]

True love true talent true beauty 💖

[@katyb3265]

I love Elton John no matter what song he's singing. If you get this message please let me know if you can.

[@waynecochran4748]

Favorite Elton songs here come down to I'm Still Standing, Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding, and The One. I was a huge fan of his during his comeback years, but for the longest time, I couldn't stand to listen to his music due to memories I associated with it.

[@mspfinney]

Makes me cry. John Lennon was killed in his prime.

[@goesdownsinging]

MRM, you're the best. You should talk with the artists sometimes. I think you'd make a great interviewer because of how well you listen and your extraordinary level of curiosity.

[@Modern-Renaissance-Man]

That would be cool

[@angelskunk2206]

Hearing this song always mars my heart ache and takes me back in time to the day, at the age of 13, that I heard the news that John Lennon was dead 💔

[@TheWynch]

Very sad kind of self prophetic song. Always makes me sad too.

[@vusumuzimasuku]

Beautiful song I also came across it a few weeks ago

[@themissingone32]

I love your reactions, You know a lot about obscure uk vocals. Can we get a Roland Gift reaction?

[@cocoemrick1903]

Wow, I actually made it here before the video! Got tired of French Drain DIY vids and decided to have some fun. So happy that I did, as Empty Garden is in my top five Elton John tunes. Love from Grandmama Coco, still at home in Michigan!

[@yvetteadshead4212]

How lovely was that

[@thesoundlikechameleons2082]

Spookily Elton sounds like Robbie Williams in this song... the studio version... sounds like a Robbie Williams song too.

[@lll9416]

WOW! who is playing that amazing piano accompaniment?! DOLP! never-mind..

[@barbarachieppo8290]

Excellent❤

[@barbarachieppo8290]

Love Elton John so much Please listen to his song 'The One" 😃

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

This always puts me in a sad but happy mood. Love the song. By the way, teh word Comedy is misspelled on your subscribe box that you show at the end.

[@dharma__3]

That's funny--since you're post has a typo too 🤣🤣🤣

[@Modern-Renaissance-Man]

@Jeff Thx! @ dharma🤣🤣🤣

[@McPh1741]

You need to hear “ The last Song” by Elton John. Research the song as well. It’s such a beautiful, sad song

[@barbarachieppo8290]

The man who shot John Lennon had got his autograph just hours before he came back and killed him There is a photograph of Mark Chapman getting John Lennon's autograph RIP

[@lelleithmurray235]

Ty,if you want another Elton John song that makes you think, you should try 'Last Song' .It's about the relationship between a father and his son.

[@williecoulter1091]

Thanks for posting would have posted my comment right after getting of live chat but my dog decided to bump into me while I was drinking my coffee, so had to change first 🙄 Ok to this vid it brought back memories of the day I hear John had died, such a waste and for what so some nut case could get his picture in the papers? Beatiful song though. Thank you 🐨🇦🇺for requesting it.

[@cootmaster]

i can harly make it 2 seconds in w crying

[@melissagerber7231]

I hope that you've fallen down the Beatles/ John Lennon rabbit hole,in the meantim😊e❤

[@qualqui]

Ty, Lethal commented to somebody here about Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, never heard of them but by their name sounds like their vibe is similar(not identical)to Commander Cody, could you do a reaction video of: 'Life is a Carnival', 'Vampira' or 'Talent Night at the Nashville Inn'?

[@rayjohnson2387]

Captain Fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy is an Elton john album from the 70s

[@petereirich6502]

You should react to All Those Years Ago by George Harrison another John Lennon tribute song.

[@goesdownsinging]

YES! Great idea. Love that song.

[@rigelmoon9030]

So sad..so beautiful

[@geedub939]

Dire Straits 1978 Sultans of Swing was huge. I think you have reacted to it. You've got to see/hear Mark Knopler’s (Dire Straits' lead guitar and lead vocals) “Telegraph Road” performed 37 years later in 2015 at 66 years of age. Long song 13:20 … Live …great story telling … last 3 to 4 minutes of guitar will blow you away. key word search in youtube" Telegraph Road Sevilla 26.07.2015 here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZqWgKysd9uKpLM

[@joeschmoe9154]

He did a version of this for Prncess Diana,|

[@samhain1894]

Joe schmoe no, it was his song Candle in the Wind

[@ApteryxRex]

Sam Hain called that version “the rose” I believe

[@jeffcbuchacher]

Justin Bentley It was called “Candle In The Wind 1997”, the lyrics were rewritten and the phrase “Goodbye England’s Rose” was included.

[@katyb3265]

Ty do I get a song request this month or the month of June?

[@Cindrbell]

John Foster???

[@cocoemrick1903]

PS, I won't ruin it for you, so tell us, who's he singing about?

[@beckygould7509]

John Lennon

[@susanelkins3068]

no beatles? - smh

[@cocoemrick1903]

Dang, he ruined it! LOL

[@bopep1368]

hard to watch

[@gahloot]

You picked the worse rendition of this song.

[@lelleithmurray235]

Oh my Lord, this gave me goosebumps and you haven't even evaluated it yet. It's a beautiful song.
