[@Nigel_The_Crab]

Everyone should listen to this song at least once in their life :-)

[@Mikey_Sea]

True dat.

[@kurbo19]

Elton has an endless amount of hits, for starters I would give “Rocket Man” a listen. Great reaction

[@jimmykarlsson2567]

Yess of course, he is the most successful solo artist from Britain ever

[@paxonearth]

There's a reason Elton was a superstar in the 70's.

[@jimmykarlsson2567]

And in the 80s and half of the 90s

[@dvsreed]

"Tiny Dancer" would be a good Elton John song for your next experience

[@chantellecline6945]

Elton John is an amazing singer with some great hits, check out Tiny Dancer one of my favorites, Rocketman, Benny and the Jets, Don't go breaking my heart, I'm still standing, Bitch is back there are many more.

[@zappagorewaikato1009]

I'm a hardcore kid/death metal lifer & all I can say is he was absolutely supreme in the 70s. Kia ora

[@davidpeters44]

One of the most important albums of the 70's.

[@Frostrazor]

I just cannot wrap my head around people not ever having hear of this artist or song. It's just not comprehensible. This song is iconic, this artist is a nearly god status in the world, he's knighted by the British Royal Crown. His catalog of hit songs is as long as winter! One of the greatest single most amazing songs ever recorded in the history of music. period. Thanks for doing this one - i love your reactions. For another wonderful song with this sound in it - "Someone Saved My Life Tonight". One of his most underrated songs - it's not played on the radio but is amazing lyrically.

[@tygerj2908]

Favorite Elton John is That’s why they call it the blues

[@Frostrazor]

That is my #1 favorite as well. It came out while I was in middleschool. Has always been my favorite. Later I heard a previous amazing song "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" and would say that's my close #2 fav. and Yellow Brick Road close #3

[@ilove6kies]

Please react to Elton John’s “Daniel”, “Tiny Dancer”, “Your Song”, “Candle In The Wind”

[@charlesrichardson2372]

Im a 30 year old man and this song still makes me cry. I love you mama

[@sarahzentexas]

Elton’s masterpiece is Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding.

[@alfredoeliasbarbosa4078]

I agree...

[@duncanmaclennan9151]

Saturday Night Is Alright For Fighting',,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, is my top Elton John

[@chrisbayliss3532]

Thats about fights in pubs in Market Rasen near where Bernie Taupin grew up in Lincolnshire

[@ladyshar42]

the whole album is a classic. he has 5 decades of hits. He was my first concert when I was 13 and seen him 5 times since.

[@kellywann3794]

What a masterpiece. You’re right. It’s about returning to the simple life.

[@stevenruvolo499]

rocket man, daniel, dont let the sun go down, someone saved my life. just for starters, so much more

[@luciferluci4570]

top selling artist in the 70's even with all those great rock bands!! he is amazing

[@arnoldwolfson325]

I love that you were so mesmerized that you let it go all the way -- unlike some other reaction sites. Elton was with this sleazy lover for a long time. Lots of drugs, and was passed around like a "present to be opened" So goodbye to the life that was giving him the Blues. Away from the howling 'Dogs of Society" and into a refresh. His Biography is amazing, -- funny and honest about the tough times.

[@heidithatswho.2481]

Elton composed the song while Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics. Yes, your interpretation of the meaning is correct. This album was released on October 5 1973. Just 20 days before I was born😃

[@melv1495]

Elton John is amazing! One of my favorites by him. Love the reaction and y'all! ❤️

[@angelika_munkastrap4634]

He's got heaps more AMAZING hits I'd love for you to hear. Your Song (1970), Tiny Dancer (1971), Rocket Man (1972) Daniel (1973), Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word (1976), I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues (1983), I'm Still Standing (1983), Nikita (1985), Sad Songs (Say So Much)

[@christinawoolley6206]

Since you're listening to Elton.....pick just about any song from the album and you hit gold! Funeral for a Friend, All the young girls love Alice....and on and on! So enjoy watching you react! Bless you both children! 😽💋🎶

[@cdfdesantis699]

One of the greatest geniuses in modern music. One of his earlier songs, but it didn't take him long to catch on to how the music industry machine works.

[@scottderechinsky9896]

Bernie Taupin's lyrics and Elton John's music combined to give us some of the greatest songs.

[@deelawson4551]

Love Elton!! I was supposed to go and see him last May(2020) but because of covid it was postponed.I just saw where he rescheduled for April 2022..longest I`ve ever had to wait on a concert but he`s totally worth it! Can`t Wait!... a huge rabbit hole!!! Oneof my faves by him is Someone Saved My Life Tonight. Honestly any song you pick is gold by him!

[@tommyv8584]

John sang this song so beautifully.Great choice you guys👍🏼🎼👍🏼🎼🤚!!!

[@marilynk30]

Tiny Dancer, Rocket man and sooooo many more! Legend!

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Dont let the sun go down on me with george michael

[@j.kevvideoproductions.6463]

I saw Elton live for the first time in 1975 and when he played this, he replace the "Vodka and Tonics" with "Tequilla Sunrise" to the applause of the audience. Of course none of us knew what he was going through at the time with immense fame. Struggling with his sexuality, drugs, alcohol etc... Of course the lyrics were by Bernie, but they always seemed to be in synch.

[@TheSmokey999]

Another classic from , Elton John - Crocodile Rock !

[@markbarrett8655]

Elton is a beast! Great reaction.

[@dawnbailey910]

Live is so much better. To see how he dresses is outstanding

[@clintdenham9694]

Love watching you guys and your interaction with each other. Plus I get to see people who might not know the songs I know, experience them with fresh eyes and ears. Just great to watch.

[@tamiramos5873]

Elton John's discography will keep you busy - it is one of the deep holes of music that can be found among a few genius story teller musicians.

[@brucedillinger9448]

I like that you encourage feedback. And want to explore meanings that you may not have considered. You obviously have open and curious minds and that is to be admired! Keep up your very positive work! ✌

[@redhotchilifan98]

Saw him live on his Farwell tour I've been to alot of concerts in my life but seeing him was hard to describe 3 hours of pinching yourself

[@n_other_1604]

Yellow brick road is also a reference to the Wizard of Oz (classic movie from 1939) where a yellow brick road is in the land of OZ.

[@peterjonas4971]

Keep doing what you both are doing and thank you!

[@Nana12172]

i was blessed to cross off my #1 to do on my bucket list and see this man in concert. there's NOOO words to justify him or his music and performance.

[@dvaderwasframed]

Grew up listening to Elton John. My older brother plays piano and learned a bunch of his stuff.

[@B612Max]

You two are Awesome (with a capital A) [+]

[@odinspromise]

Just like Dorothy in "The Wizard Of OZ", he followed the yellow brick road all the way to the Emerald City, saw it's magnificence and learned of it's nature and just wanted to go back home...PEACE!!!!!

[@greggpangle4385]

We are all tempted, with the easier path.

[@allensaunders449]

One of the great artists ever

[@seandobson6221]

How are you guys adults and never heard Sir Elton? You really can’t go wrong with ANY of his catalog!

[@sheayankee]

You've just discovered one of the greatest musical artists ever. Check out any Elton John song( they are all classics) you can- you won't be disappointed!

[@Sober2003]

Now this is a rabbit hole to get into! The old stuff! There is one that could've been written yesterday. Ticking by Elton one of his best I think! A real story! Peace!

[@JoseDiaz-so6hf]

What a beautiful reaction, from both of you! And to answer your question at the end... Your reaction to "I'm not a present for your friends to open" said it all :) It's basically a song about a male prostitute, yep. Some songs sound so beautiful sometimes you miss how good the lyrics are. This is Elton's masterpiece album. I'm sure you've listened to Funeral for a Friend already... :)

[@AuntMattieTV]

I love Elton John

[@michaelchilcott210]

Elton is Brilliant Live you should review the live version of FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND AND LOVE LIES BLEEDING. you would enjoy those. Great Review 😊👍

[@judgildea]

It's hard to explain how good he was..just know he was knighted in England. Check ou all you can..😁

[@user-xw4dx6vm4x]

music like this bring me to tears . im 20 btw

[@ramonakvasnikoff1963]

It’s a Sacrifice a must listen

[@johnwalters978]

This song is almost 50 years old, I can believe young people have never heard it.

[@amandabeachlife3838]

The song means he is leaving the big city, glitz, and glamour for the country his home roots. I left my home at the age of fifteen, and returned back only for a short time but it was something I needed to do. People say you can never return home. Well you can it will be different but it's worth it. Going back again as soon as I can. Miss the orange groves, and swamp lands. The top isn't anything without knowing where you came from. I learned that 19 years later.

[@kerrinbeirne6286]

His vibe is cool as hell. Tiny Dancer next 😍

[@roselynnerossenbach3767]

Don't let the sun go down on me Is one of my favorites

[@johnt8636]

A gorgeous Elton tune, which doesn't get much air play, is called Harmony. Look for it. And Love Lies Bleeding just rocks. So does Saturday Night.

[@lonniekiser3612]

Yeah guys this is music I grew up with, a great time

[@RadioControlGuitarist]

I love seeing people that love each other

[@jeremydorris4356]

I really needed this! Thank you for the reaction! It really helped

[@johndillon1299]

Classic album

[@gamleskalle1]

Saw him live outdoors on a Beach in my home town . Happy times before 2020.

[@alfredoeliasbarbosa4078]

It is difficult if not impossible to believe that it is a first reaction, believing that they have never heard this song....

[@rwilson7197]

You asked abou the meaning... this is about a young man who doesnt have a penny, being picked up and then kept by a society woman. He is tired of being "kept" as her gigolo/ escort and realizes the city life is not so glamorous after all. He doesn't think much of his woman and her society friends or dogs as he refers to them. The yellow brick road of promise & fortune only led him to tidbits of the fantastic life he had hoped for when he followed it to the big city. Hope that helps!❤❤❤ It cant be entirely autobiographical because Elton was not a farm boy growing up! Loved your reactions.!

[@delenasalvatore1778]

ELTON JOHN *Circle ir the Life* (soundtrack to the Limón King) *Rocket man*

[@WiseGuy5674]

Big time respect to both of you for reacting to a classic Elton song instead of coming out and doing one of his tired songs from the late 80s. Big props!

[@wm8498]

I love Elton. Try his Daniel or Sorry Seems to Be The Hardest Word.

[@tresianyfb5865]

Way I've heard is pave your own golden road ..not to walk another ones gold path on they walkn on

[@raymcarthur3870]

Good job you’ll got it on first take!

[@t.r.1708]

Thx! I think it’s the story of a prodigal son! -Terry, Canoga Park

[@VikingJeff]

Can't seem to get anybody to react to "Philadelphia Freedom" but hey, how about 'Philadelphia Freedom"?

[@markharris1125]

It's always Daniel, Tiny Dancer, Yellow Brick Road at the moment. So many others to choose from.

[@rettathomas837]

React to: Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Philadelphia freedom, don’t go breaking my heart, Bennie and the Jets by Elton John

[@matthewwood7245]

Sharing Great music together,Nothing better! Great channel and reactions. Love,music,life..together.

[@stevenmurano7863]

New subscriber. Great reaction. You are correct...a classic. Thing is, E.J. Put out a LOT of classics in the 70s and for a time was one of the biggest artists on the planet at a time when there were a lot of legendary acts all in their primes. I hope you will dig into more Elton

[@reshaud81]

Elton John songs to react to: I'm Still Standing, Sad Songs(Say So Much), I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues, Daniel, Don't Go Breakin My Heart ft Kiki Dee, Rocketman and Benny and The Jets!

[@sallyrwilson4390]

sir elton john a very deep and awome rabbir hole

[@orion7296]

Pura nostalgia

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

From this album (all the songs are good) please also do Funeral for a Friend and Candle in the Wind.

[@kevint9125]

IMHO, the song is about the idea of starddom, money and success being measured as a Destination where happiness' and the fulfillment of all your dreams lie. He realizes that he found the "yellow brick road" and that his life. is not complete and fulfilled with the destination he was told was the pinnacle of success. So, he "finally realized his future lies beyonf the yellow brick road", and that a simpler life is where he wants to dwell.

[@HeavyMetalBluegrass]

Many great tunes from Sir Elton. Great piano player as well. Others may disagree but his best song is Honky Cat!

[@andrewcormier529]

Great album the whole album and some different vibe to a couple of the other song...yes it was its a rags to riches but its actually about bernie taupin Elton co writer and probley the writer of most of Elton hits of course Elton chips in lol But the song is basically about Bernie,he's a very private individual to where Elton is very much in the limelight and so Bernie wrote the lyrics about himself which was very rare the majority of the songs are about Elton , that whole album is great check out a song called sweet painted ladies and imagine a life on the docks from all perspective try Saturday nights all right for fighting try rocket man I mean the list goes on pretty much any song you pick from Elton I think you enjoy great reaction really like you guys Been fun watching you keep it real try to listen to the whole song gather your thoughts and then present what you want to say about the 🎵 song I tell everybody you have to listen to the whole song and you have to absorb everything about it because sometimes music lead you in one direction and by the time it's over with,your at another direction And I think you guys do a good job Keep spreading the music to the masses,really fun to see folks hear the music that I was raised on And sometime take for granted.love me R&B the chi lites the Cornelius brothers and sister rose Have fun folks God-bless God's favour always.

[@roger1296]

Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics, Elton John wrote the music…in Bernie’s own words, this is the meaning to his lyrics: “There was a period when I was going through that whole ‘got to get back to my roots’ thing, which spawned a lot of like-minded songs in the early days, this being one of them,” Taupin says about the origins of “Goodbe Yellow Brick Road.” “I don’t believe I was ever turning my back on success or saying I didn’t want it. I just don’t believe I was ever that naïve. I think I was just hoping that maybe there was a happy medium way to exist successfully in a more tranquil setting. My only naiveté, I guess, was believing I could do it so early on. I had to travel a long road and visit the school of hard knocks before I could come even close to achieving that goal.” In Taupin’s rendering, the Yellow Brick Road is a path to artifice and deceit, a far cry from the owls and toads and ploughs on the farm from whence the narrator came. He purposely overplays the bumpkin act as a way of zinging a controlling romantic partner who wanted to prop him up in her penthouse “where the dogs of society howl.”

[@8tomtoms8]

You all should check out an amazing song by Elton John called "The Last Song". A father who is losing his son to AIDS- visits him in the hospital on his death bed.... The son is shocked to see his father there after years of the two falling out of touch... The original video is great if you are able to pull it up...

[@swampyjunior_yt3567]

[@adrianmartin8153]

[@domeshine69]

Try "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" by Elton John

[@KeithDCanada]

I spent most of my years at 6-8 years old, listening to this album on my mickey mouse record player.....

[@darleneadams6844]

Angelina jordan did a rocking cover to this song. Its been a minute since you reacted to her

[@ConservativeHippie99]

I BEG you guys to react to This Place Hotel by The Jackson's!! That song is a master piece 😭😭💯

[@wpollock1]

The word “plow” is spelled “plough”? He is “going back to my plow” - to correct the lyrics. Great song! I agree on the song meaning, he is in a relationship with a wealthy woman and doesn’t want to be her plaything. He’s going back to the country or rural life.

[@maryellenazack4466]

Crocodile Rock Pinball wizard You can't go wrong with either mega hits.
