    while going through radiation at the hospital for cancer treatment , they always ask what playlist i want to listen to. my go to is always either an elton john playlist or a queen playlist. but i remember on my last radiation appointment i chose elton and i was listening to this song as i finished. i had been feeling so distant because i couldn’t do much cause how sick i was, but this song brought me so much happiness. and in that moment, for some reason i knew that i’d get through it and be alright in the end. and here i am still alive to this day fighting cancer for the 7th time and i will never give up. don’t care if it takes a long long time , i’ll be okay :).

    This song is often interpreted as a reflection on the loneliness and isolation that can come with a life of constant travel and fame, which are experiences Elton John himself was familiar with. The lyrics describe an astronaut's longing for home and the people he left behind. The phrase "Rocket Man" is a metaphor for someone who is detached from the world and feels like they are "burning out his fuse up here alone." The song conveys a sense of melancholy and the emotional toll of a life that's always on the move. "Rocket Man" has become one of Elton John's most iconic and enduring songs, known for its evocative and introspective lyrics.

    Lyrics:
    She packed my bags last night pre-flight
    Zero hour nine AM
    And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
    I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
    It's lonely out in space
    On such a timeless flight
    And I think it's gonna be a long long time
    'Till touch down brings me round again to find
    I'm not the man they think I am at home
    Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
    Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
    And I think it's gonna be a long long time
    'Till touch down brings me round again to find
    I'm not the man they think I am at home
    Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
    Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
    Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
    In fact it's cold as hell
    And there's no one there to raise them if you did
    And all this science I don't understand
    It's just my job five days a week
    A rocket man, a rocket man
    And I think it's gonna be a long long time
    'Till touch down brings me round again to find
    I'm not the man they think I am at home
    Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
    Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
    And I think it's gonna be a long long time
    'Till touch down brings me round again to find
    I'm not the man they think I am at home
    Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
    Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
    And I think it's gonna be a long long time
    And I think it's gonna be a long long time
    And I think it's gonna be a long long time
    And I think it's gonna be a long long time

    My dad passed away 2 weeks ago. We loved music so much; we loved listening to it together. Found a notebook in his closet from when he was young, filled with band pictures and music notes and lyrics. This song was one of them. It was lovely knowing he liked the same songs I like as well. I miss him a lot.

    I admire the contrast between Elton's "Rocket Man", and Bowie's "Space Oddity" where one longs to be with his family and the other falls in love with space so much that he leaves his wife, earth, and just gives in to be apart of space till the end of his days.
    Edit. I just got out of "Rocketman", and man was it incredible. It was indescribable, but in words absolutely beautiful. A big inspiration to me as a musician, and just as a person in general. A big recommendation to anyone interested.

    They missed an opportunity to play this while Tony Stark was drifting off lost in space.

      I think that wasn't supposed to feel happy, like the song's tone, lyrics notwithstanding

      I think its more sutable for Guardians. Would fit a lot more with their style.

    Elton is an icon - his songs will survive centuries like the Beatles.

      Rubbish, both Elton and the Beatles will survive the centuries even tho the Beatles were far more successful.

      Definitely a candidate for one of the greatest musicians alive...I've been trying to play stuff of his on guitar, and having a hell of a time of it. Not that the chords are that complex, he just flows between chords on the piano as naturally as breathing.
