[@chrislenox1812]

It shook me up as well. The scene with the raft immediately reminded me of what is happening to so many refugees in Libya recently, and it prompted me to read about the artist who made the video. It's hard to make sense of this world.

[@8bert9]

This song is often interpreted as a reflection on the loneliness and isolation that can come with a life of constant travel and fame, which are experiences Elton John himself was familiar with. The lyrics describe an astronaut's longing for home and the people he left behind. The phrase "Rocket Man" is a metaphor for someone who is detached from the world and feels like they are "burning out his fuse up here alone." The song conveys a sense of melancholy and the emotional toll of a life that's always on the move. "Rocket Man" has become one of Elton John's most iconic and enduring songs, known for its evocative and introspective lyrics.

while going through radiation at the hospital for cancer treatment , they always ask what playlist i want to listen to. my go to is always either an elton john playlist or a queen playlist. but i remember on my last radiation appointment i chose elton and i was listening to this song as i finished. i had been feeling so distant because i couldn’t do much cause how sick i was, but this song brought me so much happiness. and in that moment, for some reason i knew that i’d get through it and be alright in the end. and here i am still alive to this day fighting cancer for the 7th time and i will never give up. don’t care if it takes a long long time , i’ll be okay :).

I’ll never forget hearing this song while descending the escalator at Piccadilly Station in London. It was just after breaking up with an ex girlfriend while studying in Spain, and I had traveled to England to mend my heart. Feeling launched into life yet enormously alone, I heard a boy with a guitar singing this song. It was perfect: I’m in London!, feeling like a Rocketman. This song brought me comfort and gave me a deeper sense of where i was. Later, I heard it in an episode of The X-Files, during a divorce scene, and realized someone else understood what I felt. This video, with the perspective of immigrants, adds a new dimension to the song’s lyrics. It was so moving that I burst into tears, 18 years after… again

I’m not even an Elton john fan but this song … it touches my soul, brings tears to my eyes I can’t even stop it from happening, if I start singing along I get choked up which is kinda of a problem because I really want to sing along, I’m not even sad I’m just … im just a rocket man!! 🎤🎵🚀 😭 … if there was ever going to be a song to play at my funeral this one just might be it.

[@simonmartinez6476]

Mi canción preferida

[@elma.s4825]

I admire the contrast between Elton's "Rocket Man", and Bowie's "Space Oddity" where one longs to be with his family and the other falls in love with space so much that he leaves his wife, earth, and just gives in to be apart of space till the end of his days. Edit. I just got out of "Rocketman", and man was it incredible. It was indescribable, but in words absolutely beautiful. A big inspiration to me as a musician, and just as a person in general. A big recommendation to anyone interested.

[@samuelmiller7066]

Honestly Space oddity could be a sort of sequel to this song in a way, once Tom/rocket man realizes what is going on he’s realizes how much he loves his family

[@elma.s4825]

@@samuelmiller7066 I definitely see how that would blend into a narrative, and especially from both works of the greats, David Bowie and Elton John.

[@funmakers2093]

John R. Rosales Such great songs. This one so sad. It’s famed as a sort of coming out. But the song is basically saying that they may never know. Or at least until then I’ll be out here in space where it’s cold and no one there to love.

I'd be honored if some Elton John fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LEVON and ROCKET MAN on my YT channel in tribute to the masters of 20th century composition and lyrics (Elton and Bernie Taupin). Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
