Without Bernie Taupin, Elton John would be a brilliant composer, piano player and singer. Without Elton John, Bernie Taupin would be a brilliant lyricist and poet. Together, they have been creating magic for 50 years. One of the most fortuitous meetings of genius in music history.
☝well said ! ☝
It almost feels like destiny.
So true! Bernie gets a lot of credit, but perhaps not enough. Unique lyrics are certainly one thing that sets "Elton John" apart. Very few lyricists in popular music come close to the originality and complexity of lyrics in songs like Tiny Dancer.
perfectly said! nice.
And they met via magazine ad. crazy
ELTON wrote and arranged ALL the music, played piano, and did all lead singing. Bernie wrote all the lyrics.
“Someone Saved My Life Tonight” is another great one.
This song was used brilliantly in the fantastic 2000 movie, Almost Famous.
Love that 🎥 movie! 👍❤️
Yesss❤
It’s a healing song for me, since then. The way it brings the band back onto the same page, and just the persistent theme that the music is the point. “What do I love about music? First of all, everything.”
😊I can hear this song without visualizing that scene. It’s perfect.
Elton one of the greats, check out more 😅 "Crocodile Rock", "Bennie and the Jets", "Candle in the Wind" & "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" and the list goes on! 😀 He's a GOAT, Peace✌️ and Love❤️ your 70 year old forever hippie Gary😊 great reaction 🤣
Bernie writes the lyrics, Elton writes the music. He wrote this one for Bernie's girlfriend. Seamstress for the band (on the bus)
John and Bernie are like one mind, their lyrics and music flow from one to the other. They have a partnership like no other.
About 25 years ago I took my wife and mom to see Elton. Right before the show started, he came out and said I got some bad news and some good news. Bad news...My band and their instruments didn't make it to the show tonight.... but the good news, for the next 3 hours you got me and my piano and the place went nuts. It ended up being amazing...fantastic performer!
Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics, Elton wrote the music. One of the greatest ongoing collabs of all time.
What an awesome song, knew you'd love it.
'Levon' next perhaps?
Reginald Kenneth Dwight wanted to change his name to something flashier. He picked Elton from 'Elton Dean' who was the sax player in the band he played with and 'John' from the lead singer of that band 'Bluesology', '(Long) John Baldry.
Check out 'Long John Baldry & Kathi McDonald - You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'. It's epic.
Fun Fact: 'Tony Burrows' sings backup on both 'Levon' and 'Tiny Dancer'. Tony sings on well over a 100 well know British hits from the 60's and 70's. He also was a 'One Hit Wonder' 6 times under different names!
Edison Lighthouse's 'Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes),' 'White Plains - My Baby Loves Lovin', "The Pipkins ridiculous Gimme Dat Ding,' and 'The Brotherhood of Man's - United We Stand,' all were big hits in the U.S. and U.K. and here in Canada back in 1970. All sung by Tony Burrows. Cool eh. Later on he was the singer for 'First Class - Beach Baby'.
Cheers.
“Hold me closer, Tony Danza….”
Lol
😂
😂
Don’t care I was probably 30 before someone told me he was gay. Just love the music. Always have.
Lay me down, the sheeps have landed
Bernie Taupin writes all of Elton’s lyrics. Elton writes all the music. Wikipedia-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 whom 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. In 2019, Feibelman said, "I knew [the song] was about me. I had been into ballet as a little girl and sewed patches on Elton's jackets and jeans", referring to the song's description of a "seamstress for the band".
Later Bernie, after his divorce and remarriage, backtracked and tried to say it was about LA women in general, not about her specifically, but that was clearly not true. It must be hard to write a song about someone when you are madly in love, and then hear it over and over after things have gone bad.
Well not all but the vast majority of Elton’s songs Bernie wrote the lyrics.
The piano is Elton John's extra set of lungs, his breath. They add not just an extra element, but an extra Dimension to his songs, often expressing yearning or a sadness that penetrates the soul.
This is one of my all time favorite Elton John songs. No matter where I am, I just want to sing along. 🎶🎤🎹❤️
"Bennie and the Jets" was Elton John's first Top 40 hit song, and it's still amazing!! Play that thang!
Didn't 'Your Song' precede that?
@@metallisomething653 I guess I'm not sure either. I just checked Wikipedia and it says this: "In 1970, a year after starting his solo career, John released his first hit single, "Your Song", which became his first top ten in both the UK and the US."
Maybe there's a difference between a top ten hit and a top 40 hit?
Thats not true. If Wiki said that then thats wrong. Crocodile Rock was earlier and it was a #1, and there were others, such as Rocket Man. In fact Bennie (Which was also a #1) wasnt even the first top 40 on THAT album, Saturday Night is alright for fighting and Goodbye Yellow Brick road were released as singles before Bennie was)
Bro, I just looked it up on Wiki....This is what you read ""Bennie and the Jets" was John's first Top 40 hit on what at the time was called the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart," So sould chart, not the main chart
Bernie writes the lyrics , Elton writes the music.
Elton John wrote the music for virtually every song he recorded ... including TINY DANCER. Bernie Taupin was the lyricist on Elton's songs.
Don't let the sun go down with George Michael live is brilliant. Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me by Elton and George Michael live is a good one.
"Goodbye Norma Jean" is another treasure.Singing about Marilyn Monroe
Do you mean “Candle In The Wind”? 🤔
Another great song from this album (Madman Across the Water) is the title track "Madman Across the Water". It's a change of pace, but it's a banger! BTW, Bernie Taupin wrote most of the lyrics to Elton's songs and Elton wrote the music.
Incredible album.
Listen to All the Young Girls Love Alice by Elton. The lyrics and melody will blow your mind.
Elton is a master on the piano,thank you Shon.
Composing beautiful music like this is an art form. Just being a good musician is not enough, this is artistry on another level. It's not something you can learn, you're either born with the gift or not. And when you put a bunch of musical geniuses together, this is what you get.
Love this song! Elton John collaborated with Bernie Taupin since 1967 on more than 30 albums. They were one of the best song writing teams. Bernie wrote the lyrics & Elton supplied the melody. They had so many great hits together such as "Levon", "Daniel", "Honky Cat, "Crocodile Rock", "Daniel", "Bennie & The Jets", "Your Song", "Candle In The Wind", "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting", "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" etc.
Every one of the songs you mentioned are bangers!
Saturday Nights Alright for Fightin
"That's What Friends are for " with Elton, Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder and Gladys Knight!
To understand what this song meant to our generation, please watch the movie "Almost Famous". One of the most classic scenes in film. Enjoy and thank you ❤💛💚
Please do a reaction to Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues, Levon and Sad Songs....INCREDIBLE!
Can't wait. 😂❤
interesting fact. they never wrote songs together. Bernie sent his poems/lyrics to Elton who then wrote the music. Highly unique in any song writing duo.
Actually, Bernie and Elton both wrote this song!😮😊Bernie wrote the lyrics and Elton wrote the music and that's the way they have always done it😊
In the movie Almost Famous, this song had a great part. It was the song that helped the band put all their petty personal differences aside. It made them remember that the music is what it is all about.
Have you tried Simon And Garfunkel's "The Boxer"? It also adds instruments as it goes on, starting simply and building to a climax that is out of the world. "Tiny Dancer" is my favorite Elton John song. Nobody uses the piano the way he does. I mean, just listen to that melody! How wonderful is that!? So glad you gave it a try.
They've never written a song in the same room. crazy. They used Fax back in the 80's, 90's
These songs are all from the 70s.
@@robbob5302 They are. I'm just saying they never wrote in the same room and when fax came out, they used that
Elton John is an absolute legend. He rewrote Candle In The Wind for Princess Diana after she died. Every song is a hit. My favorite video of his is his song Believe. Please check it out. I think you'll really like it. ❤
Elton John and Bernie Taupin are the second most successful song writing team after John Lennon/ Paul McCartney (Beatles)😮😊
This song took almost Thirty Years to become a hit. When it was released in 1972 it barely made the charts. Elton was mostly an album artist at the time and had only one top ten hit "Your Song" which broke out in 1970. Tiny Dancer was a Fan Favorite, and he played it at most of his shows. Then in 2000, a movie called "Almost Famous" became a big hit. The movie was about the music scene in 1972, and it featured this song. The song started getting regular airplay and for the last 24 years, the song has gotten bigger and bigger in its impact. In the past five years or so, it has gotten popular enough to be considered one of his all-time greatest and most well-loved songs.
I love this song. Elton has so many hits. Bernie wrote the lyrics and Elton wrote the music, so they were a perfect songwriting duo. I think my favorite song of theirs may be Someone Saved My Life Tonight. Check it out! Great reaction.
Great choice, dope reaction. That track is uniquely written. Verse, Verse, Bridge, Chorus. and you are right, it builds slowly as he said in the verse.
He could hit those high notes without effort just incredible
I find it true that the piano takes center stage in most songs whose artist primarily plays piano, so Elton John, Billy Joel, Bruce Hornsby, etc. Not always, but probably in a majority of their songs, the piano is fairly prominent.
You have "The Ear" brother. That is an excellent trait.
Dude, watching you has become one of the great joys of my life. THANK YOU so much for all you do. Love to you my friend!
All of his music is pure bliss. I had the pleasure of seeing him in Mobile Alabama in the early
This is a favorite of mine. Also "Levon" and "Daniel"
Bernie Taupin was Elton's writing partner and wrote most of the songs.
Bernie did the lyrics, sent them to Elton, Elton then created the songs. An absolutely magical pairing of souls. And yeah, lol we're all thankful for the lot.
Elton john studied at the Royal Academy of Music under a scholarship. The piano is the first instrument in all his music. As others have mentioned, John writes the usic and Bernie writes the lyrics. They still have a strong friendship to this day.
Don't Go Breaking My Heart is a great duet with Elton and Kiki Dee - nice video where you can watch the singers.
Bernie Taupin was Elton's songwriter, thank God they found each other because they were and still are an awesome duo. Love Elton and his music, especially his early music.
Now, go watch the movie Almost Famous and this song will tear you up. One of the most underrated movies of my lifetime and with a fantastic soundtrack
Elton wrote the music, Bernie wrote the lyrics. I'd like to suggest Madman Across The Water
Takes three and a half minutes for Elton to get to the chorus. But when he does.... Its Magic! The great Paul Buckmaster did the string arrangements. He did a whole bunch of albums with Elton in the early days, and he's worked with the best of the best. The song "Levon" is also from this album, and its a Fan Favorite as well and definitely worth a reaction.
Love Elton John ❤ This is my favorite song of his.
" Your sister can't Dance " / " Saturday Night's alright for Fighting " These songs are back to back on the Yellow Brick Road album.
There's is no pause between the Songs.
Loved this song for soo long now. Check out the scene in the movie, "Almost Famous", where the band comes back together singing it on their tour bus.
Levon is another beautiful old school classic by Sir Elton.
One of my faves. Tim McGraw did a surprisingly decent cover of this song. Shon "Candle In The Wind" needs to be next. The original live from Sydney Vevo version is the best imo and the one they played on the radio. "Levon" is great too.
Shon! You made me teary! This is my favorite Elton John song! I’ve seen Elton more than 30 times in concert. Every time he sang Tiny Dancer I was transported into another world. At his farewell performances in NYC, I aimed my phone camera, closed my eyes, and recorded this song. I needed to simply listen without visual disturbances. I will always love this song and always love Elton John. You ought to watch the movie “Rocket Man.” It is about Elton John’s life, and Elton was involved in the movie to ensure it was factually correct where his upbringing was concerned. He had tough beginnings. He developed into the beautiful man he is today
For a completely different sound from Elton I would suggest Ticking from the Caribou album. It was never a big hit, but is a very thought-provoking song. It's especially meaningful in this era of mass shootings. Funeral for a Friend/Loves Like Bleeding is awesome too. I think Shon would enjoy the musical build-up and changes it goes through.
Sorry, make that Love Lies Bleeding.
Timeless comforting music!
I absolutely loved your reaction! Elton is a maestro this was the first album I bought with my own money. Thank you for loving music and sharing your journey!
"Crocodile Rock" from the 70s is my favourite song by Elton John. But he has tons of GREAT songs, they're all pretty great...."Someone Saved My Life Tonight" "Candle In The Wind" "Saturday Nights Alright For Fighting" plus many more.
He did a duet back in the 70s with Kiki Dee called "Dont Go Breaking My Heart", which is also a favourite of mine. 🎵🎼👌
This song is so so ❤🔥 and that melody and the voices on the chorus is mind blowing. Amazing song. 😍🥰
If you want a more energetic one...my favorite Elton John song has always been I'm Still Standing. Saturday Nights Alright (for fighting) is also high energy.
IMO the biggest omission from Elton's 1974 Greatest Hits album. Elton does slam those keys.
I saw him twice in concert and he would let the band take a break midway through the concert and he would keep playing the piano, not singing. It was breathtaking
This is probably my favorite EJ song. It just makes me feel a way I can’t really explain. It’s so lovely.❤️🔥
Elton John and Bernie Taupin were a great duo. One wrote the music, the other the lyrics, and they put out hit after hit after hit. You should check out Goodbye Yellow Brick Road or even Funeral for a Friend or Candle in the Wind.
My best friend, Phillip, loved Elton's song's. He named his dog "Tiny dancer". Though his favorite Elton song was definitely, Daniel. In 1980, on the same day John Lennon was un-alived in New York, Phillip passed away in my arms, an accident at work. I named my son Daniel Phillip, after my best friend.
What a wonderful way to remember him. ❤
I liked Elton best when he was singing these personal ballads. He could no wrong back then.
Bernie wrote all his lyrics, then just posted them to Elton! Elton would choose a song from the pile, put mysic to it , usually REALY quickly, and they have ANOTHER hit!!!!
I could hear this song a thousand times and still love it and sing along every time
Took me years before I heard the steel guitar in this song. It’s so pretty and makes it feel comfortable and serene like Bernie feels.
I totally agree - so many great things about this song, but, as you said, the strings really add even more to it. This song is a timeless masterpiece imo
Oh man you can't go wrong with Elton! He's such a great artist! Great reaction man!
Love this song.. Everytime I hear it, it remains me of my brother....His favorite, love you Jake ❤️😢
This is my favorite reaction you have done. I never seen you smile through an entire song this way. Love your channel.
Thanks!
Thank you for thinking about Bernie being the actual lyricist in that way! Elton sings his stuff so well you have to work really hard to remember they’re not coming from his soul but Bernie’s.
In this short clip from 1971, Elton sits down at the piano with the lyrics to Tiny Dancer, which he is still putting the finishing touches on. He begins playing the song, and stops at the end of each verse, and at the beginning of the chorus, and explains how he came up with them. Wonderful to hear the thought processes behind the making of this great song. Elton's part begins at 0:29. czcams.com/video/fswdJilCBKM/video.htmlsi=2ThClnJ-umcpran1
Best reaction channel on CZcams. Nobody else seems to properly prepare, understand, and internalize the music of my era. Well done again Shon. The Taupin/ EJ team produced extraordinary songs for decades. As a funny aside Taupin is also responsible for what some consider the worst song ever…..Starship’s We Built This City (on Rock-N-Roll).
Seamstress for the band. This is the woman who is referred to by Dr. Hook as the person "who embroidres on my jeans".
i believe bernie writes the lyrics at his home (for example)sends them to elton.he puts them on his piano where he messes around coming up with a basic tune/melody then prob goes into the studio works on it some more.what instraments he wants,what they are going to play,when they each come in etc.obvs the musicians and producer will have input.
Amazing song by an amazing artist. Another you need to hear is Bennie and the Jets. Elton played it on Soul Train and it brought down the house.
I grew up in the 70’s & his songs ? Man 🥹🖤
hey shon take this, elton= top 3 soul vocal in universe , from a headbanger tnks from brazil
They wrote it together. When this album came out, me and two other girls sat together and listened to the whole thing! Wowed us. Ha!
One of the best movie scenes is the band singing Tiny Dancer on their tour bus in Almost Famous. Recommend watching it for the soundtrack alone.
🌸 Elton is an amazing amazing amazing musician and artist. I hope you choose to go down his rabbit hole because it's definitely worth it
One of the all time great songs.
Thank you bro for this reaction
This song chokes me up with emotions. Just love it one of my faves - there are many great songs yet to explore. Kia kaha from New Zealand x
Tony Danza wasn't a thing when this was written! Lol
Mona Lisas and Madhatters - my fav Elton John song.
Also keep in mind he was FLAMING back in the 70s when it was harder for LGBTQ performers. He often wore feather boas and giant sunglasses and funny hats. He is also knighted by the Queen of England, he's a Sir.
I think of the ballerinas in music boxes when I hear this song.
@5:47-ish, your description, Isn't that a beautiful metaphor for a life spent with someone you love. It builds. You're constantly adding things to make it better. At times, you change your cadence., try something new or steer around obstacles. but no matter what it gets better and better as you go along.
The instruments in this song are my favorite too! Great reaction Shon! ❤
Great reaction shon.your analysis is spot on as usual. Elton has a god given gift.
I think you would like “Empty Garden” by Elton- he wrote it about John Lennon. It’s wonderful
