MASTERPIECE!! | Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding - Elton John (Reaction)

[@TheCornishCockney]

the WHOLE album is a masterpiece.

[@user-Vegas1]

Used to be his opening song for many concerts …great reaction!

[@bluesrock1]

Elton opened his live shows with this song for many years.

[@stevesnow315]

This masterpiece album really let the boys show off their amazing skills. Davy, Dee, and Nigel, what a choir.

[@hudahekizzy8402]

That song is a freakin' achievement.

[@joannparker1977]

What a masterpiece. Anything EARLY Elton John is just that as well. I just wish my good Bluetooth headphones didn’t bite the dust earlier. This song has to be listened to loud.

[@AliasMark69]

Elton John - vocals, piano Davey Johnstone - guitar, vocals Dee Murray - bass, vocals Nigel Olsson - drums, vocals David Hentschel - synthesizer... All Master Craftsman at their instrument.

[@Scintillant_Rationality]

This song doesn't just take you on a journey...it takes you through an ODYSSEY!

[@andrelevesque2405]

Never a dull moment on this masterful song! That’s the kind of music piece that were created when artists were allowed to develop a theme and let loose.

[@rghilino6734]

This is Elton and the band at their epic best.

[@balmpatchvideos]

[@kallsop2]

I saw Elton live in 1980 and this was what he opened up the concert with. It blew eveyone away. You knew after this opening that you were in for something special. Its in my top five concerts going back to 1976 seeing Gary Wright, Santana and Peter Frampton in one concert.

[@user-Vegas1]

Many concerts opening

[@Ocrilat]

The band should get a lot of credit here. Their instrumentation was their own creation. This was played live in the recording studio, in the fashion of basically a jam session. Elton would have written the basic tune, but the rest (and the backing vocals) were created by the band.

[@peterfields4801]

A stunning album by an exceptional group of performers. R.I.P. Dee Murray,what a bass player!

[@donnakubiski5572]

This is off of one of my all time favorite albums that I never get tired of listening to. Every song on it is a gem starting with this and ending with "Harmony".

[@balmpatchvideos]

[@TexasMagnolia]

This Masterpiece deserves a re-visit to watch performed Live!

[@jameslapham4326]

I have seen Elton John at least 5 times through the years and it was a great show/experience each time. As you say, the musical arrangement is just genius.

[@Soulboy63]

Sublime , those lucky enough to have seen Elton , knows he is a true showman , regular 2 . 5 - 3 hours sets , even when he was at his most famous ❤

[@GoodProperties-y6l]

lol at the look on your face when the synthesizer kicked in

[@rodneyvoshell9296]

Yes it is a masterpiece from a musical genius and he had many

[@scottlaughlin9897]

This song was recorded in a castle for the sound effects.

[@llschnitz]

Listen to it with good headphones! Like I did back in my bedroom in 1978 when I was fourteen years old. In the dark. It takes you on a wild, wild journey. Its the transitions! Faster and slower, louder and softer, the buildups, the chord changes, the surprises. You never know where you're headed until you get there and then suddenly you're somewhere else and you don't know how you got there. And its just as good and sometimes even better in concert! Seen him perform this many times and it never gets old.

[@allendixon7700]

7 Elton john elton john ice does a song

[@allendixon7700]

You know, it's not good, it's not good when butcher's back. I'm just sitting out and saying in it. I'll ride😊😅😊😊

[@YvonneMartinez-t2h]

Hell yeah! Can remember sitting on my bedroom floor just completely mesmerized by this entire album but this song is one of my top 3 Elton songs! Mind blowing

[@balmpatchvideos]

[@williamjones6031]

Best song off his best album. It's great when he starts the live show with this. Berzerkely Greek Theatre summer 1983. Only F----n $20🤑😁 He recently retired. "I wonder if those changes have left a scar on you, like all those burnin' hoops of fire that you and I passed through".

[@AliasMark69]

50 years ago at 19 years old I buy this album, with Charlie, Richard and Bob we listen to the entire album twice and were blown away from the music and the Maui Wowi buds we packed in the Bong.

[@tonythegoodman]

That's so cool ...Redbud Columbian around here was good..

[@lorilxn1597]

Hell yes

One of the GREATEST albums ever made!!

[@michaelchilcott210]

This is the first Album i ever brought brilliant loved your reaction👍👍

[@kathyjaissle6791]

This song is an epic masterpiece!!!! Elton John is a musical genius!!!!!!

[@georgelynch6139]

Elton surrounded himself with a creative talented band and recorded it raw with masterful production. This was probably his peak before his decent into pop rock commercialism.

[@hughshugdevlin6192]

Yep, great musical education too.. I learned a ton from that whole album. I was ten years old when it came out and we had a piano at home. An upright piano, not a grand piano. We lived as a 5 piece family with an upright piano, a dog and a hamster. In a small council house. Amazing what you can cram into a small space and play music everyday of your life

[@joycewalbert1413]

On that album is Good-bye Yellow Brick Road and Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting.

[@AliasMark69]

Another excellent reaction assessment to another excellent song from another excellent artist make a lot of excellence on your channel, again. Thanks again.

[@realitybytez]

my all-time favorite elton john song!

[@balmpatchvideos]

[@zenpuppy6025]

One of Elton John’s best songs.

[@veadairavani5692]

You have to react to the entire album! I was 10 years old when this album came out, and the first song that let me know of Elton's existence was "Bennie and The Jets," which is in this album. You're right, these songs are masterpieces!

[@ColKurtzknew]

"A masterpiece of a song" Yes Sir !

[@AliasMark69]

A bunch of people are really going to like this reaction video.... Watch.

[@AliasMark69]

We can appreciate and understand the smiles and chuckles hearing this Ear Candy. Listening to this song for the first time did that to all of us... especially if you were thoroughly baked like I was.

[@balmpatchvideos]

[@AngryShellback]

I just wanted to say, this is Elton Johns most METAL song ever... The context and the rhythm is EPIC. Dream Theater does a brilliant rendition for this track, just masterful.

[@rustywinchester782]

This is my third favorite Elton John song. My personal favorite is Sixty Years On on the 11/17/70 album. Second favorite would be My Father's Gun

[@thecyberskeleton9589]

@@rustywinchester782 listen to sixty years on live at Moscow 1979,you will love that version

[@rustywinchester782]

[@rustywinchester782]

@@thecyberskeleton9589 thanks, you are correct. The difference of nine years shows an improvement on his already incredible piano skills.

This is when he was at his absolute best!!!!

[@pamnicklas5536]

[@sammybeck7794]

Love-lies-bleeding is the name of a flower

[@vernhoke7730]

Great album, great song to lead it off. Had my copy on transparent yellow vinyl.

[@AliasMark69]

The lyrics, written by Bernie Taupin called the "Love Lies Bleeding" lyric "a statement of what touring and rock and roll does to the family life." depicts what the fast-paced lifestyle of rock and roll touring does. Bernie, who was married to his first wife at the time, whom he later divorced, communicates this brilliantly with: “Everything about this house was born to grow and die.”

[@maryhuhnke4706]

He was married to the inspiration for the song "Tiny Dancer" ❤

[@rollomaughfling380]

The line is " Everything about this house was born to grow and die."

[@balmpatchvideos]

[@joelliebler5690]

What an exciting blend of 2 onto 1 song!

[@claudiadavies5110]

Oh my goodness, sublime and I loved seeing your reaction ❤❤❤

[@geesegirl]

so beautiful and eerie...great masterpiece

[@AliasMark69]

"Love Lies Bleeding" The roses in the window box have tilted to one side Everything about this house is gonna grow and die Oh, it doesn't seem a year ago to this very day You said I'm sorry honey, if I don't change the pace I can't face another day And love lies bleeding in my hand Oh, it kills me to think of you with another man I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan But my guitar couldn't hold you, so, I split the band Love lies bleeding in my hands I wonder if those changes have left a scar on you All the burning hoops of fire that you and I passed through You're a bluebird on a telegraph line, I hope you're happy now While if the wind of change comes down your way girl You'll make it back somehow And love lies bleeding in my hand Oh, it kills me to think of you with another man I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan But my guitar couldn't hold you, so, I split the band Love lies bleeding in my hands And love lies bleeding in my hand Oh, it kills me to think of you with another man I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan But my guitar couldn't hold you, so, I split the band Love lies bleeding in my hands Ho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ho-oh-oh-oh-oh-ho-oh Ho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Love lies bleeding in my hands Ho-oh-oh Ho-oh-oh-oh-oh

I lov how this song made you have some stank face in the appropriate parts

[@AliasMark69]

CRANK IT UP!!.... It's one of those I spark up my pipe and take a seat at the drum kit.

[@Johnjohn-gq3du]

I hear Rush, the Who and the right amount of Elton John in this beauty. Oh, and early Genesis. Great Elton John rocker.

[@markellars9245]

The music is this song is running through this persons life.

My Top Ten Favorites from E.J.....Empty Garden, Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding, Madman Across The Water, I've Seen That Movie Too, I Believe In Love, Levon, Tiny Dancer, All The Girls Love Alice, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Rocket Man...... You have done the top three... COOL, you'll get to the rest soon.

[@JR-1983]

Tonight and Greatest discovery are absolute masterpieces too

[@MikeInMD1961]

The rare double album without a single dud on it. Elton is a music machine.

[@ceretomer5987]

I agree with you. Yes, this is a great song. I love instrumentals more than lyrics in the first place.

[@balmpatchvideos]

[@Pait728]

His band is fire on this track

[@DiannePires-iu4qg]

Probably my favorite reaction to this song so far. My all time favorite song - a true modern masterpiece

He did a free concert in Central Park, NY in 1980 and brought the house down with this song, You're in for a treat if you check it out.

[@dlewis5631]

Now you know why so many that grew up in the 1970s say that today's music absolutely socks!!!!

[@ricelaker]

Bought this album when it was first released.

[@charleshodges]

Although I was never a huge Elton fan, this is one anthem that I simply MUST have included at my funeral. I actually wanted to play it at my wedding, but she wouldn't have none of that (maybe that's why we aren't married anymore). One of my favorite tracks of all time.

You can talk about Elton for a long time. Tumbleweed Connection and Madman Across the Water albums are two of his best. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is a double album and its all good stuff. The list of his good songs are as long as your arm.
