This song reminds me of a dog named Shakira.Her family's house caught fire.I took her in but couldn't keep her.We tried to find her a forever home,we had to move and running out of time,because Shakira had bitten 4 people was a risk to go to any house, so het owner had to make the very difficult decision to have her euthanized. This song always played on my playlist whenever I was spending time playing with her.This is Shakir's song.I miss her.

This was my grandmother's favourite song to listen to. I would hear it whenever we would visit her. After a long 3 year battle with cancer, she sadly passed away. Her doctor only gave her 3 months. At her memorial, we played this song when we let her balloons go. But today, I was sitting in the car with my dad, and this song came on. We both just sat in silence. I only realised today that certain songs could hold onto some power without anyone knowing. I'll think about this for the rest of my life.

Crazy this is almost 50 years old. 11 years older then me, and yet it still holds up to this day as an absolute masterpiece. Seems like there was a period of time where there were artists that just won't ever be replicated. There's just a feel to it that is so timeless.

I cannot remember the last time any Music Video moved me as much as this one does. The song is a musical masterpiece that pairs as well with life in 2017 as it did in 1971. It is truly timeless. Bernie Taupin's lyrics seem to be inspired by the warm, wonderful, marvelously human uniqueness of the people in Los Angeles and this video does a terrific job of paying homage to that. Human spirit is a miraculous thing and it is on full display here. The characters in this video pull me into their lives and I feel a bond with them - the wonderful woman at the pawn shop, the girl with the urn, the addict at the liquor store.....wow, just wow. There are so many stories I would want to know about each of their lives, so many mysteries. (And, oh- if this song is any indication I'd say this Elton John guy is going to be quite a success someday.......)
