Elton John - Rocket Man (Official Music Video) Reaction/Review

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

Talk about a rabbit hole. He has so many hits. Yellow brick road, Bennie and the jets, Funeral for a friend, Daniel and so many more.

[@jamesbrown-wt1cc]

The song with the low notes of the Bosendorff Piano.

[@krisdoggett483]

This is ONE of his biggest hits. He was King of Pop in the 70s.

[@BuntingClipClop]

I liked your insight. Bernie Taupin, the lyric writer, was writing about loneliness, drug addiction, being separated from his family both mentally and physically, the sad effects of fame. It's such a poignant and lovely song.

[@hongfang2508]

Your Song was his first hit and still my favorite

[@ememnicholas565]

I was the biggest EJ fan in the 70's. This video is not original as there were no music videos when this song came out. Elton and his band and Bernie Taupin created so many masterpieces. My first exposure was the album "Madman Across the Water" which I think never left the turntable🦕🦕 for months.

[@williamjordan5554]

There were videos. Beatles started them in 60s. Most bands didn't use them until the 80s.

[@RadCenter]

@@williamjordan5554 there weren't music videos in the modern sense (i.e., made to be played on TV along with other music videos). The Beatles made short films, which were played in theaters.

[@williamjordan5554]

@@RadCenter Trust me on this from a Beatles fan since 1971. The Beatles made LONG films for theaters and "promotional videos" for TV shows beginning with one for Paperback Writer and two for Rain. They got the idea to send the videos to TV shows instead of showing up from the way Elvis had his pink Cadillac tour the country without him.

[@ememnicholas565]

​@@RadCenter Thank you Nancy. I spoke imprecisely when I said there were no videos. I believe you got what I was saying.

[@ememnicholas565]

@@williamjordan5554 Yes, I know about the Beatles. I was around for the original Beatlemania. Of course there were videos, TV appearances, movies, rock operas, etc. I was referencing the modern sense of "music videos" as defined by the MTV era and later, when most all songs were represented with some kind of produced video. My fault for not being clear in my comment.

[@michaeljensen6732]

Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding is a great Elton song.

[@tammieparrishmiller3669]

I've loved Elton John since I can remember begging mom to not turn the car off which was a lot of the time as I remember very well. You really outa start with his first album "Tumbleweed Connection". It's got some songs on there that will bring you to your knees. In a good way! But, yeah if you want to do just different songs from this album or that, I suggest Razor Face. Btw, I never saw that video from Rocket Man before. They did a good job. Peace

[@watchbizmatik]

They did a really good job

[@RadCenter]

"Your Song," "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," "Honky Cat," and "Candle in the Wind" (originally written about Marilyn Monroe and then rewritten to honor Princess Diana). So many more!

[@guyturbide6348]

You have to ear 🎵 FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND/LOVE LIES BLEEDING 🎵 🎶 🎵 The original sounds tracks It's my favorite song of Elton Jhon Keep the GOOD WORK Biz ✌ 👏 👌

[@margiemcpeak9304]

🎹 💯 Elton John = legendary‼🤯🔥 "Daniel", "Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word" & "Your Song" are my other favorite Elton John songs! BUT...everything he sings is incredible! ROCK ON‼

[@vickieray]

One of my favorite concerts, Elton John, Charlotte NC 1977 🔥🔥🔥 What an amazing show it was 👏🏼👏🏼 “Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word” is a beautiful song ♥️

[@johnandrews3151]

Elton John has had over 50 top 40 hits in the USA and is still making the chart today! The great thing about his music is that his album cuts rival his hits! His music catalogue is among the deepest to dive into with so many great songs, it will keep you busy for months and months.

[@joshuadeshaies7106]

Yes sir!! Sir Elton kicks ass bro! This guy and Billy Joel are absolutely amazing. Rock on Bizmatik!!¡

[@julietvelarde3816]

I've not seen this particular video - I've only listened to the song (many decades back). It still, think, it resonates from when my sister and I were small, in my head. An A+ classic! Thank you so much for reviewing this and others! Good day to you, Sir!

[@byronmitchell3784]

ELTON JOHN, "ROCKET MAN". Let's make it clear. This is one of his biggest hits.. more... "SOMEONE SAVE MY LIFE TONIGHT", "DANIEL", "LEVON", "SATURDAY NIGHT'S ALRIGHT FOR FIGHTING", "BENNY AND THE JETS", "PHILADELPHIA FREEDOM", "MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER", "CANDLE IN THE WIND". ✌🎶

[@happymethehappyone8300]

TRUST ME On These MUST HEAR Classics My Music Lovin Brother,, "The Ides Of March "Vehicle" Argent "Hold Your Head Up" Head East "Never Been Any Reason"

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

This is my favorite Elton John song. Check out Philadelphia Freedom as well. ✌❤

[@josephjohnson7256]

I love your interpretations of songs, make me view them in a different way.

[@richardmodglin3900]

Bro....check out the extended live version from Wembley stadium in 84 I think. This live version even has a bit of funk in one part. Elton and band at their absolute best. Check it out sometime. Great reaction!

[@DetroitMicroSound]

Elton played the Eastown Theatre in my picture, here in Detroit, in 1/26 & 27 1970.

[@aviatom1]

Eastown, what a blast from the past!!!

[@DetroitMicroSound]

@@aviatom1 Hallowed ground, now. I have some pieces of the Eastown Theatre/Showcase in my collection.

[@ratface324]

I could be wrong but the more I listen to the lyrics they seem to be a metaphor for someone always outta this world on drugs. Very poetic. 🔥

[@Sober2003]

EJ to me is one of the most prolific singer songwriter’s along with Bernie Taupin in my lifetime! Excellent tune! Big big rabbit hole 🕳 jump in! Try “Ticking “ next my favorite! Great track!

[@kierstenridgway4634]

This is one of my favorites !! Such a good song. Bennie and the Jets.

[@echopryme]

I'm not gonna lie... I gave you the like on this, but im not even gonna listen to it again. Because it ALWAYS makes me start to cry.... I get what you mean here. You're NOT the only one. 💯

[@watchbizmatik]

🙌🏿🙌🏿

[@s.mcpherson6354]

The mix is so good. At the end, when he's pining for his wife and damning the distance, the guitar strums split wide apart on the stereo extremes.

[@alrivers2297]

Arguably his most famous song

[@julietvelarde3816]

He currently came back home last week, and although I've had my shots and boosters (always masked) I missed his visit.

[@bartstarr100]

The legend has it that Bernie Taupin was a fan of Ray Bradbury and "Martian Chronicles". It's the story of the colonization of Mars.

[@rondickinson8741]

It's really hard to nail down his biggest hit he's got so many I like someone saved my life tonight that's all we'll get

[@J_Gamble]

💜 I was only in third grade when this came out but it is really burned in my memory. Great reaction. I'd never seen this video before. It puts a whole new spin on the song.

[@TheMike_I]

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Bennie And The Jets are two more Elton classics

[@julietvelarde3816]

I believe I understand a bit of what you have just said. My older son is a musician. He currently lives in Nashville.

[@67lenzo]

Good analysis bud 👍🏽

[@R777-RLM]

That was a really good explanation for the meaning of the song. It actually fine tuned what I thought of it; however, I did feel it was talking about loneliness.

[@johnandrews3151]

Elton John/Have Mercy On The Criminal STUDIO VERSION

[@Scooterboi60]

The song with Young Thug and Nicki Minaj is from his album The Lockdown Sessions which was released last year.

[@dianesaienni5466]

love elton! honky château, Daniel, Funeral for a friend. lots of great songs

Hey letting you I love the new look💕

Guess that’s why they call it the blues, crocodile rock, this train don’t stop here anymore,

[@robertasirgutz8800]

I do. Maybe go album by album. People are responding well to it.

[@marybalestraci6157]

Levon is a great song.

[@trevorross1600]

❤

[@ronforeman2556]

I honestly don't know what in the heck this video has to do with "Rocketman", the song. Whatever virtues it may have, it really detracts from the song itself. Back in the day, before the advent of music videos, the meaning behind Bernie Taupin's lyrics set to Elton John's melodies, in particularly "Rocket Man," was left up to the listener's imagination.

[@RadCenter]

Bear in mind that this song was released less than three years after the first moon landing. The world was enthralled with the space program in the '60s and '70s.

[@jaeproductions6x108]

He lowkey not rhyming in those verses. But dope review tho.

Young Thug’s song is great

[@lewis9702]

This is not the official video. This song was released in the early 70's before music videos even existed.

[@damanfromtn]

One of my favorite songs. Don't like it with this video that was created years later. Distracts you from the beauty of the song itself and best to visualize it yourself from Bernie's lyrics.

[@annewoodard6803]

Skip the fan art videos. Great song though!

[@kierstenridgway4634]

Is this really the official video ? Hmmm

[@watchbizmatik]

It is, the re imagined version on eltons page
