[@neiledwards4923]

Future generations will count this as great classical music alongside the previous composers.

[@deborahlockerby1633]

My piano was broken . the technitian who fixed it was so cool. I asked if he would play a few. He chose this piece. I literally cried. One of eltons most beautiful

[@catrescuer]

This was an emotional tribute piece of music he wrote following the death of a young man called Guy who died tragically in a car crash. It is a wonderful piece of music that brings a tear to the eyes.

[@jeanettegault276]

This a beautiful song, Elton’s piano playing is fantastic.❤️❤️❤️

[@ijlr00]

The best emotional melody ever in my life.

[@paulagould465]

[@twobeer3316]

I do. Buy Elton at 60 DVD. There's a Live, Rare, and Unseen disc. It has spectacular performances from his early years...

[@Mischtchratzer]

it all started with this song, back in 1979

[@brianmcfan]

Elton actually wrote the song on a Sunday after dreaming about his own death. The young man,Guy Burchett was a 17 year old messenger for EJ's record label and he was killed in a motorcycle accident the next day. Guy's mom said she cries when she hears this song. Can't blame her there,

[@grahamkitson7032]

What a beautiful tune Elton. You communicated such love through that piano. I respect your tender feelings for your friend!!!!

[@caprinalou]

Merveilleuse et inoubliable mélodie, Elton John exprime par toutes les touches de son piano la puissance des sentiments qui émanent de cette composition ! Sublime ...

[@Stallnig]

My heart aches when I hear this.

[@burgofichakia]

Stallnig same thing to me

[@Deathss81]

I was listening to this song in the car while there was sunset and I was about to cry.

[@dibadirekt]

His Name was Guy Burchett. Died at only 17, but somehow he lives on in this song.

[@Marcus1050]

For me one of his best songs ever...!

[@gachetclaudie9355]

j'en ai les larmes aux yeux et une furieuse envie de progresser dans ma pratique du piano...

[@egelsmarieclaire755]

[@MadGamer1988]

Pure genius, love this song. Elton John is the best

[@giancarlofelici7438]

I love this song

[@gsam_dad5540]

It's lovely when this masterpiece is played on the piano only, the electronic touches are great but not needed, it stands proud as a piano composition to rank with the best Mozart could pen...in my vey humble opinion of course

[@Evh75011]

just amazing a guy+a piano = a hero of music

[@guttersnippeesmithers3905]

Awesome awesome song played by a genius

[@wesleypfeiffer9632]

Yes? Heard. This? Song coming. Back? From. My sister's? Funeral. Then I couldn't attend. For a reasons.

[@davidmouquet1045]

un pur chanteur venu du ciel!!!!!!! merci a toi elton

[@SegundaGuerraMundialES]

I had the tickets in my hands.... and he had to cancel the original concert because of some heart issues... I wasn't able to go to the rescheduled show in Pontevedra and I missed one of Elton's best shows (I love Pontevedra's setlist) :( Anyway, thank you KZbin!

[@Curi0u50ne]

If that had been Kanye West he'd shout "STOP KLAPPIN Y'ALL! Can't u see I'm playing here?"

[@Themanwhocameback2]

And that would have been WRONG!

[@MatthewWilkinson]

The lyrics are actually "Life, Isn't Everything"

[@ingareinar007]

One of the most emotional songs ever

[@Phi1l]

Great song - not in my top 10 of songs you clap to - must be a Pontevedra thing

[@Somethingandnothing-n6h]

[@JesperKyd47]

@KubaaPOLAND The way he says it in this version is so warm :')

[@KubaaPOLAND]

"Life isn't everything"

[@a8127]

Life , isn't everything !!!!!!!

[@mninimandlantombela1987]

this one reminds me of my late big sis wedding

[@CristianMolinaro28]

@dave19711998 Dave, this song is not written for Guy Babylon, but for an Elton's messenger boy who tragically died while he's writing this melody.

[@a8127]

Life , isnt everything... Isnt everything..

[@philh9874]

Not a song you clap to

[@corneliustolke8640]

Clapping on 1&3..... wrgs

[@jasonjoneses]

*awkward claps from the audience until their hands hurt and they give up* Just listen to the music people geez.

[@PianoShapedObject]

@derubermax I was just thinking as they started that it just doesn't seem appropriate for a song like this....

[@daianaparon]

Totalmente / Absolutely.

[@Jazzper79]

Wrong. This life IS everything.

[@PetterBG]

i quote: "...As I was writing this song one Sunday, I imagined myself floating into space and looking down at my own body. I was imagining myself dying. Morbidly obsessed with these thoughts, I wrote this song about death. The next day I was told that Guy (Burchett), our 17 year-old messenger boy, had been tragically killed on his motorcycle the day before. Guy died on the day I wrote this song."[

[@tdamtoft]

Guy Burchett, 17 yrs old, messenger boy for the record company Elton John was signed to, died on the day the song was written. Maybe why Elton John usually looks very contemplative and sometimes even sad when he plays it. Still a bloody pufter though :-) Nah, amazing artist!

[@jamesflannery-serle3489]

so it all gets back to you judging him?

[@FRODOPIANO]

and the audience claps again

[@ingareinar007]

Was it a car accident?

[@LauraCrystina]

Essa música é para ser ouvida em silêncio! Não gostei das palmas! aff

[@peterjfraser]

@a8127 u r so incredibly wrong on this point!

[@claudineioliveira2907]

[@LeamingtonSteve]

terrible syrup he had in those days

[@EntertainAustralia]

Hey this is a rip off of the theme to the "Toast of London" TV Show....

[@satyabratamishra4670]

that show came way after 1978 i believe. bruh

[@EntertainAustralia]

@@satyabratamishra4670 Sarcasm brother :)

[@emmjean1]

Life , is just the beginning...

[@jucinaldoalves8445]

Esta música é exepecional.

[@Somethingandnothing-n6h]

12 notes 6x on a piano... One day it will be mine ❤

[@PHPAULIE]

This life is'nt everything

[@dupes69]

its a temporary thing

[@jamesaccardo9313]

Ah the changed it a little I like it

[@baire702]

Guy, in this song, was a delivery boy for Rocket Records. The way the story goes, Elton wrote this song on a Sunday while feeling rather morbid. The next day they received word of Guy's death. This story was written on the back of the 45 rpm single that this song was on. 1978.

[@dackywamboo]

I don`nt belive in Gods its so man made.Never do i get bored of this song it gets better, it tells me something in your life it is going to get better don`t give up.

[@CristianMolinaro28]

God bless you,Guy Babilon...
