Elton John - Oh My Sweet Carolina

2002

[@Bargerland]

About 15 years ago, Elton was asked about musicians he enjoyed and he mentioned Ryan Adams. Thank you, Elton! Ryan's album Heartbreaker is amazing.

[@epc8181]

I can't imagine how it must feel for a songwriter to be covered by one of the greatest songwriters who has ever lived. Cud-dos to Mr. John for recognizing a fellow great song writer. Great cover!

[@Mistapenn]

I thought he had exclusive songwriters? Can someone verify? Either way, wow to have Elton John cover your work is flattering!

[@geetarbube]

Aaron Penn Bernie Taupin and Elton are longtime songwriting partners

[@jimtricktv]

This is a Ryan Adams tune

[@brightandmorningstar]

He does most of his own work. However, he does cover other singers live. This song was written and recorded by Ryan Adams off his Heartbreaker album.

[@matthewcapestro5809]

Edward Coleman I love the way Elton doesn’t even try to steal the song. It’s like he’s simply saying, “yeah... this song means something to me, too.” It’s really such a beautiful way to cover the song.

[@phus2001]

This guy is a true Icon!!! What ever he plays.. is amazing!

[@yo-Rowe]

Gotta love Crossroads... Elton John + Ryan Adams, John Mayer + Keith Urban, Def Leppard + Talyor Swift, Elvis Costello + Lucinda Williams - the pairings are often unexpected and always entertaining. It's interesting to see who wants to work together and to see them add each other's tunes to their own concert playlist as Sir Elton has.

[@maureenmclaughlin4075]

I love that Elton did this

[@fooddude411]

How amazing to have SIr Elton John cover your song. Effing great.

I went down to Houston, and I stopped in San Antone I passed up the station for the bus I was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what Man I ended up with pockets full of dust So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance I was spending money like the way it likes to rain Man I ended up with pockets full of cane Oh my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home I've never been to Vegas, but I gambled up my life Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains Trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what Funny how they say that some things never change Oh my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home Up here in the city feels like things are closing me Sunset's just my light bulb burning out I miss Kentucky and I miss my family All the sweetest winds they blow across the south Oh my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home May you one day carry me home

[@prestige16]

The best male voice ever!

[@matthewcapestro5809]

I just love the way Elton sings this song. It takes my heart to many places.

[@freemathstutor8538]

A great song covered by a master. I don't often think cover versions of songs I like are better. But I think this is. Elton, we will miss you when you stop performing.

[@everythingtruth101]

Yeah to me this version is twice as good as the original. Tough to top Elton's voice.

[@anthonyespinoza4250]

@@everythingtruth101 probably his old voice lol

[@michellesupport89]

Almost as good as the original. Love both versions.

[@everythingtruth101]

Elton is the best

[@OpenDoorEnglish]

You can really feel the melancholy in this cover. A great piece of music!

[@stonezone9689]

Just found this and I’m so happy, two of my favorites, one really underrated and one a true legend!

[@DEACON006]

Fantastic artist. I love his "stop the wind" story. This is sweet.

[@vincentbynumbers]

ahhhh this is one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists played by my all time favorites. this is insane.

[@wlgj1341]

Hard to express the payment I receive having these musicians perform ‘ my song’

[@andremailander1209]

Ele é maravilhoso 🎉🎉🎉

[@ukaszgrzona3758]

Beautiful voice!

[@JasonHorne72]

why have i never heard this until now? This is brilliant! I have known the song for years, but being a fan of Elton and Ryan, I am surprised that this went under my radar.

[@Jamler3]

Ryan Adams - American Song writer that is simply incredible...

[@tientrinh943]

One of the best. Have you listened to his other songs? Dancing song

[@bazthehandyman]

Absolutely fantastic by The Master.

[@juanitat10]

beautiful

[@zerodmg581]

Well I went down to Houston and I stopped in San Antone I passed up the station for the bus Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what I ended up with pockets full of dust So I went on to Cleveland and ended up insane Bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance I was spending money like the way it likes to rain And I ended up with pockets full of 'caine Oh my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled up my life Building news print boats I raced in sewer mains I was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what Funny how they say that some things never change Oh my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home Up here in the city it feels like things are closing in The sunset's just my light bulb burning out I miss Kentucky and I miss my family All the sweetest winds they blow across the south Oh my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home May you one day carry me home

[@seeburg220]

His voice sounds really good ! Reminds me of Your Song, in that it's about the same octave / range. Nice job, Rocket Man !

[@kennethward4985]

Hello Mom, uh Elton John is doing my song in all his shows now !

[@reidwhittington4493]

Love it! I'm an England fan as well as Raleigh.

[@JohnVC]

Mr. Elton John is was a friend of the 'caine, so the story is natural

[@josephcharbonneau8740]

GOSH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! I’m not surprised. Much love TY. 😍

[@devalong6917]

Such a lovely song.

[@thestorysongsnl9397]

I think the reasion this works so good is because elton has been there! And he came out of those dark times!

[@robinkim7887]

Saddest song ever is it old ?

[@amyreddick8802]

Oh My Sweet Carolina (Live In Australia)

[@chrisbooth3417]

Would of loved to see Elton and his band cover something like magnolia mountain which kinda reminds me of burn down the mission from way back

[@menandmice]

Awesome and brilliant.

[@Christianna73]

Thank-you for posting this. Tissues!

[@michealoregan5643]

I was at this 600 lucky people at the beacon theatre

[@MehmedKadic]

Almost as good as the original. Love both versions

[@expressdog1000]

What a compliment to have Elton John cover your song! The original is still better though - more character!

[@HorsemanNL]

voor Caroline64 Sweet Love

[@carlrichards9333]

I hate when a good song is ruined by another Artist

[@Fool4ej]

So beautiful! I used to have the audio of this--can't find the file now :-(

[@wojciechmo1540]

Hehe, identyczną miałem dziś myśl po przesłuchaniu tego :)

[@Gumminator]

I'm convinced that the Eltonbrand sword in Morrowind is a reference to this song haha

[@fredjones5719]

did this show ever come to DVD?

[@fredpallem8994]

Frissons !

[@jasonhisington5928]

Fucking brilliant

[@johnweiner]

I miss the Emmylou Harris duet accompagnement on the refrain.

[@forbesy8568]

Great song Ryan Adams why you say yes Elon Jones make it sound like candle in the win song 🤣😂🤣😂sorry thats so mean.

[@chandananimalsepala-5805]

🇬🇧🎧🇬🇧

[@DinosaurM1911]

The guy that wrote this song is from NC. Shock: Sir Elton's is... great. Fuck this listen to Ryan Adams.

[@vietnamShlong]

who wrote this song? was it ryan or what??

[@lordluke10]

I'm only 99% sure, but i believe it was Ryan, because all lyrics websites says Ryan Adams, but Elton and him are good friends, so they might have made it together or something ;)

[@vietnamShlong]

oorite, thought so

[@steueybuhh]

100% Ryan Adams song

[@sonicfoxxmusic4281]

NO, NO NOOOOOO!!!!.....an opinion....covers of this should be banned(even Mr John's)...this is a song i've loved for so long sung by the amazing Ryan Adams. A few years back my then 8 year old daughter came upstairs in an HMV store in BATH, ENGLAND with the most excited look on her face and the following poured out of her mouth.."DAD, DAD!!!!....YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS BUT THEY ARE PLAYING "RYAN ADAMS OH SWEET CAROLINA" DOWNSTAIRS"..she hadn't realised it went all over the shop....christ i nearly wept with pride...she'd been listening when i'd been playing it...we hugged and stood there listening to the most beautiful rendition of Ryan's song...HIS!!!!!.....don't believe me??....google the damned song!!!.....now i'm a songwriter and there is one out there with my name attached to it with one of the most beautiful female singer"s voice i'm ever likely to work with...praying you don't cover this one Elton(not that i don't like you brother) BREATHE by JASMINE LAMPORT........it's positively flying.

[@John19182004]

SONIC FOXX(home of original SONGS..no videos required!!) man alive you're an idiot

[@michaelsans6835]

I love the song can you play it when you come to Fayetteville North Carolina on march 11, 2015 and I will be in there it Will mean a lot to me and everyone else if you Play it and after all you are in North Carolina and the song is called oh my Sweet Carolina and the last time I saw you was March 16, 2010 on that concert date I meant your manager and I shook your hand got your autograph on my happy birthday Elton John poster and concert ticket and I got your drummers drumsticks and I got your recent guitar players could tour pick and I know the song sheet that was on your piano that night so if you can can you play that song for me my name is Michael

[@wlgj1341]

[@horse69outside]
