    This man is one of the most amazing artist bar none. I'm 62 and as long as I can remember he's been cranking out hits. I grew up with this man in my ear and will hopefully die with him in the other. I truely love Elton John, his band and music. Rock it brother..

    You know what?
    This is the best song ever and it will never change.
    This song will never die for me, not my best song, I can't tell you what my favorite song, that would be really hard question for me, saying a favorite song. I would say my best 5 song and I can't choose a favorite of them.
    But, Rocket Man is the best song ever written.

  • @AndyisStinky
    @AndyisStinky Před 5 lety +6

    I wonder what he would bring the the table if there wasnt an audience and he was solely playing for himself on stage; how differently he would express himself through his music. He is just one talented guy and a great entertainer.

    I don't know how it's even possible, but soft rock music can make me kinda nostalgic for a world I've never been and never seen. It calms down and gives a feeling of infinity of time as if our life is not so short at all. It gives me meaning and desire to keep living through this difficult time

    The ether of brilliance and freedom that fills the upper regions of space, though unseen, is as plain as the sun in the summer sky, flowing freely from a liberated heart and a razor sharp mind. Beautifully expressive, Elton creates great music as effortlessly as most people breathe, providing a detour from the mediocre and the mundane.

    She packed my bags last night, preflight
    Zero hour, nine a.m.
    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
    'Til touchdown 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
    Burnin' out this 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
    Rocket Man
    And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
    'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
    I'm not the man they think I am at home
    Ah, no no no
    And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
    'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
    I'm not the man they think I am at home
    Ah, no no no...
    I'm a rocket man
    Rocket man
    Burnin' out this 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
    Long, long, time
    Long, long, time

    Maravilhoso artista. Quem não tem uma lembrança associada a uma música de Elton John. Saudade de quando música era música e não baixo nível.

    We don't see quality music like this in new singers.

    Rocket Man
    Me leva as lágrimas
    Já a uns 40 anos
    Eu enlouqueço
    Me vejo fora do corpo
    Tudo é muito intenso
    Tudo é surreal
    A letra a música o piano os gritos de Elton
    Um dia meu coração
    Emplodira de emoções
