Elton John - Song For Guy

Elton John live in Australia Song for Guy

[@anniekf4492]

One of THE most evocative and emotional pieces of music ever written.

[@susantaylor2252]

Is not piano the most beautiful instrument. ❤

[@apx24]

I fucking love Elton John. One of the best musicians of the 20th century. His music has always helped me through tough times.

[@ActionMediaProductions]

apx24 perfectly stated.

[@jeremyrose1331]

Took the words right out of my mouth.. I fuckingwell LOVE Elton and his music. Thankyou Elton for being YOU 😉😀😀😀 💔😘👍💯😎

[@christopherhowe4947]

quite possibly his most beautiful piece of work

[@christopherhowe4947]

musically this is his finest work in my opinion.

[@denton1972]

I think is a masterpiece. You may also want to check out the piano coda in Bruce Springsteen's Racing in the Streets. Another masterpiece.

[@amelmoussaoui9836]

I think so

[@gdd29]

Can't agree more indeed.

[@celinaerjautz5028]

My mom showed me the song and i was impressed... it is so emotional and i just LOVE it

[@LorraineAshby]

Elton John - what a brilliant musician, songwriter/singer. These talented people give so much to the world - just listening to this music brings to mind life and all that it encompasses - the pain, the laughter, the love and memories of those we have shared so much with on our journey...............

[@alanbodell2050]

+Lorraine Ashby You're absolutely right and here it's done seemingly so simple without many instruments and emotional lyrics, just one of my favourite ever songs by anyone.

[@LorraineAshby]

Alan Bodell Thank you for you comment Alan....greetings, Lorraine:))

[@garynumanfanforever]

One of the most talented musicians ever to grace the planet. The word Genius can be rightfully applied in this case.

[@pieroleone3829]

Estate 1979 a Cefalù...chiusura in discoteca al Club Med con sempre Song for Guy...che nostalgia...che ricordi...musica in purezza....

[@jeremyrose1331]

So Perfect ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Just lost my dad 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Thankyou Elton 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@paulagould465]

Gives me goosebumps this song you know a song is good when it does that❤️

[@geronimo2764]

To create such a wonderful theme is not easy. If you hear the song first time, you will never forget the theme. Elton is a genius…

[@anthonyaduhene]

This song will be played at my funeral. Life isnt everything. Eternity is.

[@lorrainemorris7214]

This piece gotta b played at my funeral!!!

[@alanbodell2050]

After working 3 months on an oil rig in Malaysia flying back to the UK around the time this was released it just resonated as one great song, totally minimal greatnessIt was Singapore Airlines I must thank for introducing me to a song that will stay as one of my fav. ever for life and I mean that.

[@chuchochanel3829]

Its beautiful, one of a kind!

[@tonyfleming3118]

You can clearly see how much this song means to him, still my favourite song!

[@arielharisteguy2579]

[@bobisyu]

Masterpiece of Elton J.

[@MrDrummerguy33]

One of the greatest song writers in modern times

[@SimonChesire]

A soothing sentimental instrumental. Superb

[@darrenfl]

Released when I lost my mum in 1979 ....life isn't everything just sums up that time....breathtaking piece of music.

[@numannut6714]

Elton can write my epitaph song anytime, never beat this thought, absolute masterpiece, this is what you call genius!

[@seanoliver295]

First time I have seen this version of one of my favorite Elton John songs. Great sad song.

[@mattlovell4312]

Such a beautiful and stiring piece of music. This piece brings out so many emotions for me whenever I listen to it.

[@gordonm.7387]

The main melody sounds mournful but the counterpoint feels like riding on horseback on an empty beach at the last gleaming of twilight! Great tune.

[@amelmoussaoui9836]

Totally true

[@seanoliver295]

One of my favorites.....!!

[@dingodave9160]

I love your your music, Elton. It has touched me in a way of no other... since I was 16 in 1971. God loves you and so do I.

[@RIK92YT]

when, at the beginning, the audience recognizes the song we simply understand that LIFE ISN'T EVERYTHING without such an artist!

[@davidwarkentin9848]

LOVE this song....emotional. simply that! Life.....isn't everything.

[@PauloSilva-py1nd]

Of all the great songs he has done, this is the best and he doesn´t even have to sing!

[@AntonioosSantosLealFilhoLeal]

Isto não é uma música, é um delírio musical, que nos faz viajar no tempo e na alma! Meu fã incondicional.

[@ceciliaserranosoval708]

[@juliaward6079]

[@steveanderson461]

one of the strongest songs ever song by Elton, well done, shoes life is through music

[@BLOKIESGUILDUK]

Guy was a 17 year old bike messenger who worked for the record company Elton was signed to at the time. The story goes, that Elton had a dream about his own death and while absorbed in the melancholy of that thought came up with this song. He later found out that Guy had been killed in a motorbike accident on the same day. A tragic tale.

[@ugapelusa]

Superb Story... and Very Much Tragically Assumed by Elton John...

[@rickogden204]

I'M 54 years old and I finally find out who Guy was. I will sleep a bit easier tonight.

[@justinstuart8382]

Spooky

[@americabythereza9105]

ELTON JOHN FOREVER !!!!!

[@hassandk1]

This is chocolate to my ears

[@ActionMediaProductions]

Arne Frederiksen flawless coming from an Elton and chocolate freak.

[@roquebaye]

Life Isn't everything Isn't everything Isn't everything Life Isn't everything Isn't everything Isn't everything Life Isn't everything Isn't everything Isn't everything Life...

[@raphaelbhz]

Isnt death everything** A morte não é tudo.

[@juliocesarandriani7174]

What a wonderfull song! The best!

[@JamesHawkeYouTube]

sublime genius.

[@GaryKildall]

Elton John said this in the sleeve notes of the 7" single: "...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."

[@mickfulker8811]

[@GaryKildall]

Mick Fulker Hello, Elton John recently decided to quit music. Perhaps he will reconsider.

[@apx24]

Luckily he isn't quitting yet. I'm going to see him in London this June, can't wait.

[@GaryKildall]

apx24 Ok, good news. Well Justin Bieber quits music once and a while too. Hope Elton John will create a song to bump Justin from no. 1 on our radio.

[@oc2phish07]

I remember this whole event at that time. It is particularly poignant for me because at about the same time I had a young mechanic working for me in a motorcycle dealership in London who was killed at around the same time on his motorcycle. About the same age too. Listening to this beautiful music brought it all back tonight. Such tragic losses in both cases. Thank you for the music Elton and thank you sydlivy for posting.

[@leticiaricart1843]

I thing there is nothing compared with this life song made with love...anything else than love...

[@DUCATEA]

British Music Royalty........🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@haydenwittig8877]

THIS IS THE PERFORMANCE EVERYONE HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR . ALMOST NEAR TO PERFECTION AS YOU CAN GET TO THE ALBUM VERSION. THIS IS ELTON AT THE SYDNEY ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE IN 1984 .

[@mikesey1]

I love this, even with a tear in my eye..

[@kayleea8352]

Life is so cheap, it can easily be taken away. I ponder sometimes the wisdom of God, I can’t understand about the depth of this life.

[@colynbarrett8127]

Such tranquillity in ......"Music"

[@Themanwhocameback2]

After one year of Covid in the United States, I find that I have been repeating to people, essentialy the words to this song. Death hold no fear over me.

[@negralu777]

Tão bela e tão triste esta canção. Se pudesse, ouviria EJ o tempo todo. 👏👏👏💗💗💗🤩

Life isn't everything Isn't everything Isn't everything

[@knightrider365]

+Douglas Roth life is a definite thing, is a definite thing, is a definite thing, but this life isn't indeed everything.

[@jameslayton2267]

I always heard, life s a different thing

[@chengkevin4241]

Pop singers used to be artists.

[@Themanwhocameback2]

+Cheng Kevin Elton John used to be an artist.

[@RationalThinker1859]

+Themanwhocameback2 Saw him 3 weeks ago (in concert, not in the street). Take my internet word...he's one of a rare breed. I'm an middle-aged sceptic critic, but he's better than ever. I'm not in a minority either.

[@ritacassia8784]

Genius❤❤❤

[@praveenaahuja754]

Haunting..........beautiful , barely any lyrics but by far a masterpiece.THE PIANO MAN AT HIS BEST!

[@Altenholz]

Excellent sound quality!

[@trueplayer367]

OMG, not heard this for a while, and it is so heart warming to hear it again :-)

[@philster611-ih8te]

@ClassicTVMan1981X Very true. I am surprised he didn't re release it.... But only Elton will know why....I am on the verge of tears when I hear this

[@NinoDale59]

Questa è l'essenza della tua musica......appunto suona e canta..... Non fare e dire altro. Stupenda.

[@videoarchiveman]

Man, he can play!

[@casey1923]

This song is about a messenger named Guy, who worked for Elton, and was killed on his motorcycle working for him.

[@racmasart]

+Cheryl O'Kane Actually, it's not. It was written by Elton about his own thoughts/feelings and he found out the day after it's writing that the young messenger was killed. It obviously clicked with him, and that is why this song was named for the young man.

[@Levc81]

What a tune this is, classic Elton John

[@paulomesquita499]

Since Rocket Man, Elton is the GREAT. I'll die listening your music.

[@ActionMediaProductions]

Paulo Mesquita I always said the same thing... literally

[@flares]

I love the bit between 4.04 - 4.21 when the synthesizers come in.

[@paulineellson1245]

This reminds me of Happy days in Cornwall...especially visiting the White House in Penhallow.

[@poesiasy]

This very good music i love so much

[@bawa666]
