I don't think a lot of younger people realize how big a star Elton John was in the 70's. He was selling out stadiums. You really can't go wrong with any of his songs from this time period.

[@elkalabaw7665]

the term "megastar" which was above superstar status had to be coined just for him.

[@vinniemoran7362]

Yeah, now they think he's just some pop charts topper who sang songs for Disney.

[@AppliedFool042]

I'm 29 I grew up listening to Elton. I love him as a person and as and artist

[@taradevine6026]

He was a rock SUPERSTAR!!!!

[@bucknaked31]

He’s still a huge star.

[@vinceruland9236]

I'm a metalhead to the bone, but there's something about elton john that I can't explain. When I'm in a certain mood, he's all I want to listen to.

[@travislee9662]

Same I can go from Pantera to Elton John no problem…good music is good music.

[@bigbrainboy2013]

His older stuff was pretty damned good. Madman Across The Water is a great track

[@AdamDavidDunlop]

Same. Tiny Dancer might be one of my favorite songs, regardless of genre

[@thanossnap4170]

First time i heard "your song" i just dropped everything (huge metal head myself). What a genius Elton is to music. And i also love that he introduced me to rap via Eminem. Good music is good music, and poetry shows in every genre. I would have never looked at the beatuful side of rap music (that i just thought was garbage cursing out other people), if it were not for Elton.

[@booshank2327]

Why is it always people into metal that like to announce their status and how they identify as a metalhead in music comment sections? You're not special, although you all seem to think you are and your approval of other music is some kind of blessing.

[@tomclemens5345]

You guys should check out the movie “Almost Famous”, about a teen in the 70s who follows a band around on tour. The soundtrack is filled with 60s and 70s gems, like Tiny Dancer which features in a pivotal scene in the movie.

[@JustClint]

One of my all time favorites, awesome movie.

[@bigbrainboy2013]

Yea this scene on the bus always gets me. Very heartwarming, true forgiveness is pretty rare.

[@natrichards9911]

@@cobrakari The band was The Allman Brothers Band.

[@loristone9242]

I can't help but visualize the bus scene from the movie, even though I first heard it as a little kid in the 1970's. Almost Famous is an amazing movie.

[@dmCurator]

Great stuff.

[@jeffreymerrimanFishman100]

Bernie Taupin wrote all the lyrics for Elton John the song is about his wife who was the seamstress for the band it's never as complicated as you guys think it is

[@DominusLuna]

Made him Feel like a bullet in the gun of Robert Ford.

[@NJTRAF]

Yeah it was about his wife and a general "California vibe", basically. It's amazing how deep people get on lyrics sometimes when it's often the simplest explanation that's the correct one.

[@Dominomfer]

So thisTaupin guy had Elton John sing all his thoughts and dreams? How cool.

[@Carl-gj4ed]

@@NJTRAF I disagree. This song makes me feel something completely different based on what I've experienced in life and how this song fits in that piece of my life. I cry every time I listen to this song. Thinking a song only has one particular meaning is stupid. Everyone interprets music differently and assigns an emotion or event to that song which they relive every time they hear the track. This track reminds me of the time me and my friends watched Almost Famous when we were in high school. I remember that day clear as day whenever I hear this and miss many of them. Many lyrics aren't meant to be literal. The best ones aren't.

[@NJTRAF]

@@Carl-gj4ed you can interpret a song how you like but the literal meaning of the song and what it's about has been explained by the person who actually wrote the song. So that is quite literally what the song is about. Regardless of whatever you might think. That's not how it works. Master of Puppets is a song about drugs. We know this because the song, as James Hetfield explained, "deals pretty much with drugs. How things get switched around, instead of you controlling what you're taking and doing, it's drugs controlling you." If you think it's about the Toy Story movies it does not matter and is factually incorrect.

[@MrRondonmon]

This was about Bernie Taupin's wife she actually sewed and mended the bands clothes at times. Bernie wrote the lyrics then Elton added the music later. She was his Tiny Dancer in life, the going down the highway with the lights hitting them was a band traveling on the highways and lights from two way streets (far fewer freeways/interstates back in the day)

[@chriswildhaber35]

Yessaahh, so true love this song, but everything that Elton does is great music.

[@Wolverines77]

Nope, 95% of today's freeways were in existence in the 70's that are out there today. Now, total lanes of interstate is a whole different ball game. I know, because we travelled coast-to-coast 8 times berween 72 and 84. Lots of bands, even mega hitters would play EVERYWHERE, not just the biggest venues. Performers used to travel to the masses, whether it be NYC or Redding, CA. Also, to keep the money train on the rails, these tours very often were WAYYYYYY outside the legal boundaries on legal hours of operation and were constantly taking to side roads to avoid "weigh stations" and the majority of law enforcement out there.

[@MrRondonmon]

@@Wolverines77 Thats just not true, no one is speaking about Just interstates. I know many, many roads that were just two lane US Highways that are now double lanes and separated. That's why I said Freeways, I know most of the Interstates were here already, Many state Highways that are busy look just like interstate roads from the 60s and 70s, they are Four Laned and Separated. Besides that most modern roads have also been straightened out, I remember state highways so curved you could not really do over 50 MPH on them. So, those roads in years gone by were much different from today. People went from medium to small cities on back roads or state highways, nowadays those same "freeways" looked like our old Interstates. That's the point I was making, as a retired Truck Driver I should know. 😊You googled to see and you got a stat, but stats can be misleading, I am not speaking of just the Federal Express Highways or Interstates but rather all of our US Highways and even State Highways. U.S. 280 in Birmingham was a 2 lane curvy ass road, now its a 6-8 lane highway that's lit up for miles, you can't see lights from cars heading your way as that song speaks about because there are a 100 cars zooming by and the whole freeway is lit up. Things were just different, back in the day those same highways went by farms, so when another car was coming you NOTICED the other cars lights, now with strip malls and 100s of cars, not so much. You have to be in the TIME to understand it sonny.

[@garystaley4414]

I read that they used to “Count The Headlights On The Highway” to fall asleep. Pretty much like you’d “Count Sheep”

[@2Quietus]

@@MrRondonmon This dude knows. Was going to say something similar, as I remember distinctly traveling in parts a 2-lane from Oklahoma to California and back in the early 70's.

[@robertnieten7259]

I grew up a big Beatles fan in the sixties, but I believe Tiny Dancer is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It's like something you hear in a dream.

[@BestofItMoviedoc]

This song was used in the film ALMOST FAMOUS; one of the all-time great rock ‘n roll scenes in film history.

I remember a scene in an episode of WKRP in Cincinnati where a Russian man wants to defect to the U.S. with the help of Baily Quarters and the gang. In the last scene he quietly says to her "Hold me closer tiny dancer" before leaving. It was him secretly embracing western culture at the same time thanking her for her help. Very sweet ending.

[@bigbrainboy2013]

Man, I loved Bailey Quarters.

[@markstyles1246]

It was actually to Les Nessman, which was even funnier :-D . Bailey got "bourgeoisie exploited American worker," kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKKpnnqOeNd8os0.

Yes they need to watch the whole movie, might help with understanding rock music.

[@LynnThompsonAuthor]

I was also going to suggest that; it was so perfect! That movie was a wonderful look at what it would have been like to tour with a rock band back in the '70s. Everybody knew this song and all the others that were big at the time, and we were all singing right along with them in the audience!

[@parinthianquattropani9071]

"In my hand" just means he was holding hands with an actual woman who was the seamstress for the band also a ballerina, not Thumballena. "Count the headlights on the highway" is a game played while traveling on a tour bus for months at a time. Easier game back in the 70's, too many headlights now.

Brad & Lex. Elton's "Philadelphia Freedom", "Crocodile Rock" and "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" are next for you!! Then you'll only have 30 great songs left. Elton John(music) & Bernie Taupin(words) are one of the greatest songwriting teams!

[@galvinklatt5273]

Philadelphia Freedom is an underrated banger!

[@johncampbell756]

The live cover of Don't the Sun Go Down on Me by George Michael featuring Elton John is worth a listen. I'm not a bug fan of the other two songs I tend to go for earlier album tracks like Mona Lisa's and Mad Hatters or Where to Now, St. Peter, Madman Across the Water, Amoreena, Grey Seal, etc.

[@UMfan21]

@@kanjjn My favorite is "I guess that's why they call it the blues"

The man is a genius, when he was coming up in Los Angeles, it was the place to be, and the time to be there. The piano riffs and the strings throughout are just a masterpiece. Lyrics perfectly encapsulate Los Angeles in the late 60s. The song is about a specific girl (a tiny dancer,like in a music box) a nickname, but generally about that type of girl, the kind of girl who wore a headband, and hung out on the streets, you know, hippie girls! Also official video is a work of art in its own right

He held it together really well with all the pressure and emotion- he was very moved by my suggested changes to a few lines of the lyrics, that were more personal to him (no doubt too much so, though i thought it might be included in the service but the VIPs had already agreed to the version as played.) Anyway, the 1973 original about Marilyn Monroe is much better, sadly underrated now.

[@markburnham7512]

The reactions of these two are always refreshing. No memories, no context, just a fresh listen. For me this song is forever a bittersweet memory of the girl I was with at the time and how I screwed it up. Good to hear a different perspective. Thanks.

Bernie Taupin wrote the song and said that he and Elton came to California in the fall of 1970. It seemed like the populace is radiating sunshine. The lyrics of the song capture the spirit of California from 1970. Talking about the meaning of Tiny Dancer, Bernie Taupin said that he was just trying to capture the spirit of that time. He shared that he was encapsulated by the women they met, especially at the clothes stores and restaurants and bars during the Sunset Strip. He further mentioned that the women were very contrasting to what he had seen in England. He also added that the women had a thing about embroidering clothes and they wanted to sew patches on the jeans. Bernie Taupin had called it a perfect oedipal complex. Bernie Taupin has effortlessly brought all these women to life by calling them ‘Blue Jean Baby’ in the song. See the Tiny Dancer song here.

[@betsyduane3461]

The lyrics were written by Elton's writing partner Bernie Taupin. The song's lyrics were inspired by Taupin's first visit to the US in 1970, and were intended to capture the spirit of California, where he found the women he met highly contrasted with those who he had known in his home country of England. Taupin also stated in a 1973 interview in Rolling Stone that the song is about Maxine Feibelman, his wife at the time. The lead singer of Metallica was 7 when this came out.

Think about a tiny ballerina spinning on your dashboard as you make your way home to your woman you love and is just as precious and characteristic as a tiny dancer but now in the palm of your hand.

[@RayVRoberts]

Written about Taupin's wife Maxine Feibelman... "Taupin (Maxine) recalls the iconic song as the only one Bernie had kept secret from her during their relationship. “How it would work was, Bernie would sequester himself in his study, write the lyrics, show them to me and ask what I thought of them, and then we’d drive them down to Elton in London,” she says. “But I’d never seen the lyrics to ‘Tiny Dancer.’ Bernie gave them to Elton. We showed up at Trident Studios and it was just the engineer, Elton, Bernie and myself and they played that song. They looked at me and Bernie said, ‘We wrote this for you.’ It was just an out of body experience.”

[@k1jsfit]

You are overthinking it. Not a huge story behind it. He wrote the song about his writing partner’s (Bernie Taupin) girlfriend just for the heck of it because he thought Bernie would like a song about his girl. No deep meaning. In the video for the song they show people in L.A. going about their lives, but all are unknowingly brought together for a moment, listening to Tiny Dancer on the radio. Btw. A ballerina is a tiny dancer which I believe Bernie’s girlfriend may have wanted to be. Instead, she made many of Elton’s costumes in the beginning of his career (seamstress for the band). And, Driving down the highway with your arm around your girl, “hold me closer”… And if your girl is a ballerina and you are holding hands… you’ve got a Tiny Dancer in your hand.

The tiny dancer is the little dreamer in all of us that dances to our lives This seamstress for the band lives her life with the spirit of the tiny dancer in all of us. She’s not caught up in the world. She’s a dreamer and dances to her life. It’s a spiritual song telling us all to never let go of the little dancer in our soul

[@bradhelms9408]

I do so appreciate your getting straight into songs! I've clicked off others who babble way too much at the start.

My favorite Elton John song. The strings in this song are amazing!

[@YesMyTatsAreReal]

I first saw Elton John live when I was in junior high in the early 70s. His incredible music was all over the radio back then and looking back I can't believe that we had it so good

[@jamesbyersmusic]

Perhaps my favourite Elton song, and I love almost ALL of his 70s and 80s material. That 'hold me closer' coda is just incredible!

[@kboy4526]

Dude! Open your eyes. You've got the tiny dancer right there - beside you.

[@KendraAndTheLaw]

I'm old, from the 70s, and it's not about tripping. It's about Bernie (Elton's lyricist and good friend) in Venice beach near where Elton was playing in L.A. in the early 70s when Elton was getting started. The "tiny dancer" was Bernie's wife Maxine dancing around on the beach. It's just meant to be a sweet love song and nothing more, with Bernies imaginative take on the Venice Beach scene in the early 70s while they were all having fun in their 20s. Hope that helps.

This man live is pure perfection. Saw him in Perth Western Australia.

Tiny dancer is a sort of conglomerate figure of feminine comfort for a rock star living on the road, experiencing periods of lows and exhaustion and too many drugs ingested, too much energy put out. She's in his hand because she is reliably there. A charm

[@oldmanghost219]

Tiny Dancer is one of my favorite songs. It is one of 40 that I have on my phone so I can play it with blue tooth on my car stereo.

[@Biden4more]

I finally got to see him live in 2008. It was too good for words. The man who got me through my teens.

[@jangle4246]

I saw Elton John do this song live at the Hollywood Bowl in the early 70s (as part of a whole show, which was great!). It's always been one of my favorites among his songs.

[@goldiekildea2924]

I totally agree with you SMW although I was in the beginning of my teen years in the 1970's I knew enough to recognize and appreciate Elton John's talent and music

[@claudinem6207]

I love this song so much. Remember it as a child and hearing on the radio.

[@alexakl6445]

There's no rabbit hole like Elton John songs - sooo many, such greatness. Yes, besides his outstanding piano playing and his amazing vocals, I do love the violins in this song. Perfection. : )

[@billofalltrades2633]

Can't go wrong with Elton John, an amazing artist! Great reaction!

[@KC-pc8ou]

One of the best karaoke songs ever .. if you've had enough beer first and a partner that can actually sing!

[@noelle7714]

♥️♥️♥️this song, brings back a lot of memories.

The obvious answer seemed to be that the song was written about Maxine Feibelmann, Taupin’s first wife, who was indeed a “seamstress for the band.” After all, the credits for the song on the Madman Across The Water album end with the phrase “With love to Maxine.” But dedicating a song to someone and writing a song about that person are two different things, and Taupin clarified the confusion in an interview with Rolling Stone which he quotes on his website. “We came to California in the fall of 1970 and it seemed like sunshine just radiated from the populace,” Taupin says. “I guess I was trying to capture the spirit of that time, encapsulated by the women we met, especially at the clothes stores and restaurants and bars all up and down the Sunset Strip. They were these free spirits, sexy, all hip-huggers and lacy blouses, very ethereal the way they moved.” “They were just so different from what I’d been used to in England,” Taupin continues. “They had this thing about embroidering your clothes. They wanted to sew patches on your jeans. They mothered you and slept with you. It was the perfect Oedipal complex.” Taupin’s lyrics effortlessly bring these women to life by amalgamating them into a single “blue-jean baby” who captures the heart of the narrator. She floats among her surroundings seemingly unaffected, handling even the rougher aspects of it with a shrug: “The boulevard is not that bad.” Her charms are never more evident than in the immortal lines about her reaction to her favorite song: “The words she knows, the tune she hums.” What seems like an ephemeral relationship is anything but that, as is made clear when the chorus comes around and John belts out “Hold me closer, tiny dancer.” With the combination of the stirring music and Elton’s powerful vocal, it’s one of those cathartic moments that only the best rock ballads can produce. That emotional release is just what director Cameron Crowe latched onto when he cast the song in a crucial role in his definitive film about the rock and roll life, 2000’s Almost Famous. At one point in the movie, the fictional band Stillwater is at the end of its tether due to infighting and its lead guitarist’s drug-induced freakout at a high school party. As a tense silence hovers over the tour bus, the drummer slowly begins banging out a familiar beat and, one-by-one, band members and groupies begin singing the words to “Tiny Dancer” until they’re all screaming out the refrain. Fences are immediately mended because the song has reminded them just why they came together in the first place. Such is the power of this song whose longevity and impact has long since overwhelmed the initial humdrum reaction to it. But one mystery remains. Luckily, Bernie Taupin has the answer. “Why ‘Tiny Dancer’? Well, I guess that’s just poetic license. It just sounds better than ‘small dancer’ or little dancer.’” Indeed it does.

Elton John, one of the biggest stars EVER. Great songs always. Tiny Dancer, a girl in his heart, as he's headed down the road (on tour maybe).

[@robbob5302]

In the late 90's, I was working on a resort island. A lot of the employees were brought in from Jamaica. And it was cool watching them fall I love with all this music they had never heard before. (They really liked soft rock.) And they would often ask me "Who sings this song?" Because I would usually know. Then came the Princess Diana funeral. Where Elton John played. Suddenly all the Jamaicans were in love wth Elton John. And one guy in particular kept talking about him, just constantly, for like a week. Just "Elton John! Elton John!" all the time. Then one day, I mentioned something about Elton John being gay. Well, this guy looked like I just hit him with a sledge hammer. After that, those Jamaicans never mentioned Elton John again. I was like "Sorry, dude. Thought everybody knew."

[@ptrlxc]

I remember in high school, walking into an empty gymnasium and seeing a good friend of mine play this song flawlessly on piano. That’s what made me want to learn how to play piano. In fact, within a year I bought an upright piano and taught myself how to play. Before that I was heavy into playing guitar and bass guitar. That was so long ago now, and I haven’t played piano in ages. Tiny dancer = ballerina.

[@ed.z.]

A masterpiece. Musical masterpiece. Didn’t like it for decades. Got good headphones and grew into it. All in.

[@toddgehlert8598]

Saw him in concert last month. Even at 74, one of the best concerts I've ever been to. I didn't know, he has had a top 10 song in 5 decades. A true legend!

[@RightReverendMatt]

I think it’s about the bus driver for the band who watches her during shows and with the band and then they load up and all he has is this little plastic dancer on his dashboard as he drives the bus or the rig to the next show. You used to see those back in the day. This song kept me going through high school. Kept me alive just hearing beautiful feelings and sounds during the early 70s, so full of promise and so very difficult. No cellphones, no cable, no computers, just records, stereos, and your imagination. Actually better in so many ways back in the day. Keep it up you guys. Your awesome. Takes me back. Thank you. Matt in ABQ, NM

[@650Max]

It's about Maxine Feibelman, Bernie Taupin's 1st wife and literally the seamstress for the band.

[@danw2276]

Hes a great proformer. seen him a few times, playing the panio lying down on his back. Crazy talent. Couldn't break the panic chair after a few attempts and had security break it up for gifts to fans. THANKS

[@imgettinby]

Bernie Taupin drew the inspiration for this song from his visit to Los Angeles in the autumn of 1970. He was single and there were a lot of young women around, and the weather was sunny, so he wanted to convey that spirit in a song. The song is dedicated to Maxine Feibelman who he met at the time and who became his girlfriend and wife later.
