Elton John - Your Song (1970) Live on BBC TV - HQ

[@robertsimmons4554]

I cried this morning while listening to this. I was in bed and decided to flash back to when i was 18 years old. This song and all he made at that time, controlled my thoughts and emotions. Elton is a genius song writer and singer. Thanks for having his songs available for me, a 65 year old man.

[@scaber]

Generally, Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics to all of Elton's greatest hits. They were a sublime duo.

[@billymandalay9504]

Robert Simmons How the years past... It was fun and intense when you were young, wasn't it...

[@jordan6988]

It sucks time has gone so fast. Already 2018. Seems like 1970 was 10 years ago

[@alwayssme]

@@jordan6988 i am with you, i am 62 and still in my mind i'm in my teens way back in the 70s , we had the best music ever, late 60's to early 70s

I’m 15 and adore Elton ! He’s my idol and I cry wishing I was born in the 70s honestly I’m crying rn

[@patricianee1237]

i saw elton in concert1970, when he was new. i turned 70 this week. full circle! my step daughter framed 'how wonderful life is..' as a gift to me. as i love that. i am blessed!

[@bumblbesss]

I like this Elton, You can see the Uncertainty in his face that this may not even go anywhere with no flamboyance he looks and sounds more vulnerable just a guy at a piano.

[@brianD7844]

“Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen” Does anyone else get chills every single time?

[@yeetyeet8240]

yess that's my favourite line

[@jonpfluger3354]

That's the line that always touched my heart. "Any way the thing is, what I really mean." That comes just before it and I love that too.

[@mmartin5707]

Bernie taupin’s lyrics he wrote practically all of Elton’s lyrics

[@SrLuzDeLuna]

dude i read this while the line you mentioned was playing it was fucking epic

[@juantana7]

tried singing it karaoke and cant make it past that line, or "while you're in the world.." 😭😭

[@Tx18Wheels]

My gift is my song, and this one's for you - One of Rock's greatest lines.

[@brookestuart3304]

Up there with "guilty feet have no rhythm"

[@sithlordmikeyp]

Brooke Stuart that line is lame as hell. I like George Michael (Bluth), but that line does not even come close to anything from 70s Elton's catalogue.

[@courtneyjo4151]

Is Elton John rock?

[@AlonsoRules]

It still is nearly half a century later

[@part1108]

Pop*

[@spookedhorse]

I'm pushin' 60 years on now. I know I don't have that much time left. Enough to remember the good times and great music. I think fondly of all my family members who are now gone. Not many of us left.

[@citrusfirefly]

This song instantly makes me cry. It's just so brilliant.

[@danieleclauzel1674]

The maturity of this young talented of 23 years old. Mstery of the piano, of the voice, and at the same time, one sees clearly his shyness. He is already very professionnal and will remain his life. Ladies and gentlemen , Elton John .

[@jonpfluger3354]

He truly is beautiful.

[@adrinathegreat3095]

To be fair he'd been playing infront of audience's since the mid 60s when he was playing in pubs, so was a seasoned pro by 1970, he'd already achieved commercial success in the usa before the uk

Incredible melody ... but the lyrics are somehow even better. It's a masterpiece.

[@bartwatts1921]

You can thank Bernie Taupin for the lyrics, for all of Elton’s lyrics.

[@mikebrown9755]

Bernie Taupin is one the most exciting poets in our lives. For Elton to put such complimentary music to this creates world class songs. Thanks guys.

[@actinggurl101]

This song is one of my all time favorites. Elton John's music is timeless and I know 100 years from now people will still listen to this song and smile:)

[@keithbrind3379]

Without a doubt! Ian dancing this with my daughter at her wedding!

Amen. Elton John songs should fill up our time capsules and everyone in the future will envy the beautiful world we lived in. If more people listened today, surely the world would be a better place.

This song reminds me of my dad. How wonderful life was while he was in the world. ❤

[@timothygarnersr.2902]

This Is one of the most real and beautiful songs ever made!!! Use to listen to this back in 1977 in kindergarden and sing it.CLASSIC

[@GuitarLessonsBobbyCrispy]

This song is amazing, but also very sad at the same time, as if it draws you into its sadness....kind of hard to explain.

[@jeffreyschmoldt7798]

Truth in your words. It's a happy yet sad song. Love it or hate it, it's golden and so special that Bernie and Elton shared it. Bravo..

[@jeffreyschmoldt7798]

[@erinhurley5230]

I saw him perform this live this past weekend in Syracuse, for a crowd of 38,000 people. Watching this video of him performing the same song over 50 years ago moves me to tears. He is such a treasure. I was born too late to see him in his younger years but to see him in 2022 for his farewell tour, and to share that experience with my 14 year old son, makes me feel incredibly lucky. I don’t think I will ever see another concert that can top it!

[@eunuchprovocateur4734]

I absolutely love Elton, always have. He was a musical genius, and in his prime did put on great shows. I have the utmost respect for the man, but, if a 75 year old Elton John show is the greatest live show you've ever seen. You gotta get out more.

[@urbansetter1]

I was 10. Music was beautiful in the 60s and 70s. Im almost 60 but i wouldnt trade my youth in the 60s and 70s for anything. America had a ton of problems, vietnam, racism etc. but technology has taken human connection and it continues to chip away at it.

[@jonpfluger3354]

I was 7 at the time. I know this song so well, but just today I saw this video. 50 years later. I know what you mean about tech chipping away at the spirit in everything. 60's and 70's music is the best. Even the very old and the very young mostly would agree. Not just our generation. It was a very special time. I try to keep that alive as best as I can.

[@TigerPrawn_]

*Overuse of technology, not the use of it in itself, at least that's my argument. :)

I work with a woman who saw him live a few weeks ago and she said his voice was great but that may have been wishful thinking.

[@portcullis5622]

I love Elton John's early albums, and I am old enough to have had his early 1970s singles bought for me as a child, but I have to say that I disagree about modern music. It is easy to fall into the trap of hearing what is played on the mainstream media, and presume that all modern music is awful. There are many excellent singer-songwriters and bands around. Admittedly, you have to do a lot of searching, or follow recommendations, but that does not mean that the talent is not out there.
