  • Fuel's cover is better...by alot

  • "Don't shoot me I'm only the piano player!" lmao.. nice

  • I know this song is about a vietnam vet that can't be home playing the hero bc he has seen so much during the war but this song reminds me of my little brother Daniel. I lost him 22 years ago today. I play this song every year to remember him and I want to thank Elton John for writing this song!! I miss you little brother! The world is NOT the same without oyu!!

  • @Gelnprato do us all a favor and shut the fuck up!

  • @Xhante it's about his brother leaving.

  • I love this song, but I'm sill not sure what it's about. Is it about a Vietnam war soldier who relocates to Spain after the war because of the pain and trauma he suffered. Maybe it's also connected to the anti - war sentiment that was prevalent in the U.S. around that time? Honestly, this is one of my favorite E.J. songs, but like he says, it creates an enigma.

  • @Xhante I too love this song. My little brother. Daniel died of cancer 5 years ago.. and I too. had to go see my son off to the Marines.. He later went to Iraq.. LORD.. I.. PRAYED.. EVERYDAY ! I was one of the lucky ones! My son is back home now . ! God Bless the Military Families!

  • 9 people don't know how to recognize a real Genius

  • The Fuel cover of this song is amazing.

  • Great Vietnam song

  • Good night, Elton John, I am here in Brazil and am a big fan of yours, I cried so much I do not go to your show. I wonder how can i make a song with his Coletanea Nikita.

    Hugs

  • daniel brou

  • This was my first 45 when I was 12. It gave me hope when I recognized a part of myself in Elton. I hope he knows the effect he has had.

  • This song is pretty cool and i just started listening and found high relevance to me. my older brother daniel is leaving soon flying over to our hometown Maui.

  • Perfeito....

  • My name is Daniel and i was named for this song.:)

  • way to go elton!

  • This song is for you Daniel Dropala my best Friend I miss you more than you know Merry Christmas

  • I REALLY ADMIRE ELTON BECAUSE OF HIS TALENT IN SINGING AND PIANO PLAYING...AMAZING AND AWESOME!

  • Thanks for posting this beautiful video clip. I always loved this song and to see this performance with the beautiful background gives me goosebumps. In one of the comments someone wrote that she named her son Daniel because of how the name made her feel. Well, the same happened to me. I had an incredible warm & special feeling after I heard this song and I always knew that if I were to have a son I would name him Daniel and so I did. I gave birth to my beautiful Danny boy last September!

  • I love this song but everytime i hear it i cry. My dad's older brother was named Daniel. On halloween when i was 8 my uncle danny passed on. This was the song on the radio that we heard before we got the call from the hospital. Uncanny.

    Thank you for the wonderful song.

    Rest in peace uncle danny </3

  • Dedicated to Joey and Chad!

  • Elton has a brilliant new album The Union, with Leon Russell, getting great reviews, including 5 stars in Rolling Stone

  • with my name being daniel,people always think they are being clever(theyre not) when they sing me danny boy by that dumb irish guy.I have grown to hate that song with a passion, this song however i would much rather have sung for me

  • don't speak ..........¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡­¡¡¡¡¡¡¡play and sings please gay fukinnnnggggggggg

  • my brother was called daniel, but he died :(

  • Daniel My Brother is going away in 5 days to the military and I'll miss him with all my heart I wish him safety however this song always reminds me of him ... May God watch over him always ...

  • I knew Bernie Taupin when this song was written. I don't claim to be his inspiration, but I was a fighter pilot, shot down over the North China Sea and presumed dead. I was picked up and brought back to life by two heroic pararescuemen. I fought to regain my aviation ratings, served two more tours in Viet Nam and received two more Purple Hearts. I retired as a Colonel in 1988. God Bless you, Hip Granny and your family for your sacrifices.

  • beautiful film. beautiful song. does anyone know where there's a copy of this without the "elton" banner?

    Thanks for sharing. Listen to this song growing up.

  • can you it a stereo channel?

  • I truly love this song, My mamma used to play it for me when I was little, It was my first favorite song, and got me into music for the first time.

  • Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky...

  • Saw Elton "Live under African Skies" last Sunday (21/03/2010) UNBELIEVABLE amazing show - Just Elton and his piano- amazing amazing show - his genius is unsurpassed!!

  • my parents named me after this song, this is the first time i've heard it, i like it!

  • me too, Daniel

  • I think of my brother Daniel, who died, when I hear this song. It's so sad, yet beautiful. I love Elton...I'm so stoked...I'll be seeing him next month. I can't believe it. The tickets sold out in 50 minutes.

  • He wears a wig!

    See the videos of 1976, bald and with glasses a monstrous ... My God, how ugly!

  • I think this is THE #1 song in the WORLD!

  • when i hear this song.....i remember my german friend named Daniel who died in a car accident last march 17, 2007......RIP Daniel Pawliz

  • @caloy0924 I'm so sorry to hear that

  • I love this song!

    I wonder what Toupin wrote on the lost verse...

    I just know a little bit about this song.

    One man, Daniel, who is the war veteran and lost his one eye and can have comfort only in Spain.

    Beautiful song.

  • me to!

  • no hes totally blind

  • LOVE it can not even believe how much better he gets as he ages..

  • vietnam

  • My mom did the same !

  • My dad named me Daniel after this song :)

  • If you can't hear the left channel then go to audio configuration (sound effects) and click 'voice cancellation' - you will hear sound equally in both channels.

  • I loved this song so much in the 70's, not even knowing what it was about.. just that I loved his voice, its softness, and the melody. When I was pregnant with my son to whom I gave birth in 1980, I named him Daniel because of how the name made me feel. Now Daniel is a Marine, EOD, deployed in the mid-east again. The song makes me cry, as always, and now, today, there is much more meaning. Come home whole in body, mind, and spirit, my favorite son and all of our military brothers & sisters!

  • @HippyGrandma

    I Salute your "Daniel", an American Hero!!

  • As do I... thank you so very much!

  • He WILL come home!! And he WILL be whole!! He has YOU!!!!!!!!! Stay strong!!!! God Bless All of Our Troops!!!!!!

  • @HippyGrandma I hope all is well with your son and thank him for his service. Thanks for sharing your story.

  • @HippyGrandma I did the same thing when my son was born in 1980 and he is in the Navy .. He has been in the Navy since he got out of high school. Who knew that this song would mean so much to all of us.. I simply LOVE SIR ELTON JOHN. I just can't say enough about him..I pray for all our kids in the military and pray they all come home alive....

  • @harmony1963 very touching hope to

  • @HippyGrandma i woz EOD in call of duty mudern worfare 2 and i ownd so much pplz

  • Is it just me or is the audio only on the left channel? Im 100% certain it's not my headphones as other songs and videos play just fine on both channels.

  • Yeah its in mono somehow.. i will probably do an audio-swap sometime

  • @con101193 agrees

    

  • yes,ur rite,mine did the same!

  • @sonyxploder lol I thought my headset was playing with me again, so I pulled them half out to make them 'stereo' ^^

  • @sonyxploder haha it is ay

  • @sonyxploder i got the same.. also with other music outlets

  • Rip Daniel Degale

  • Love this song Daniel. R.I.P. Daniel Medina 05/10/50 - 06/22/71

  • RIP Daniel J Wallace 1/2/84-1/29/07 <3

  • Such a wonderful song!

  • To anyone here who feels it necessary to define Elton simply by the fact that he is gay I would like to say this. As an OEF/OIF veteran I am having to deal with PTSD and some of the stigmas that come with it. But when you go to make fun of Elton be aware that thi song was very important to him because he understood the struggles of combat veterans especially i that time period and this was a call for society to help. The song sings about the innocence lost. I thank Elton for singing this song.

  • Rats! I can't get any sound. Have to listen to a different version.

    Obama is the tops!

  • Linda,linda......

  • LOL... i SO love Elton.. he's got such a sense of humor and he's so fun..

  • This is the greatest song ever written. It was about a Vietnam vet who was disillusioned with the war and the government (much like many of us feel about Obama now).......

  • Harley, I once read that this song lyrics were inspired on a true story. A child whose brother flied his fight plane towards Spain (can't remember what war).

    Even though I didn't know so much English at the time I heard it for first time the melody and his singing moved me deeply. Today I searched for it to show it to my Lebanese Bro in Spirit, whose name is Daniyyel. Songs like this one are a TREASURE.

    Nice name for your son too!

    Peace

  • Obama did not start this war.Thank you for the 1st ammendment rights!!! HarleyDavid18,I love and RESPECT ALL Vietnam VETS,as I respect your right to differ.Elton John did a great job on this...Ross

  • To all you people with negative thoughts about this artist ... get a life and find something better to do, you have no business being on Elton John's music sites.

  • one of my theme songs

  • this song is not gender..it is about missing someone you love.saying good-bye to a loved one...hurts deeply!

  • You're a fuck wit...Keep your lame arse opinions to yourself...fucking tool!

  • dont youse bad langwage i am onley twetney-won and i dont thin k i shood heer thengs like that

  • probably 12... not 21

  • You're 21? Your spelling is hideous!

  • @Elmer1470 yea he's a faggit

  • daniel my brother! you are older than me! memories! thank you elton!

  • Can't wait to travel on a plane soon...

  • elton john,writer of daniel,eventer of awesome glasses,king of piano,wearer of tall shoes. your the best piano player ever elton!! please come to alabama and mississippi lower states! woo!

  • Yes, Bernie Taupin wrote it about a fictional Vietnam vet who has lost his sight in combat and is going to find peace/refuge in Spain. How many classic songs has Elton had? I heard he was going to be doing some work with Mark Ronson, it'd be interesting to hear it.

  • i would pay my money out to be in such preformance

  • no, his brother

  • actually i believe the song is a fictional story about a guy who goes to Vietnam and talks about how he came back damaged and traumatized by the experience. the video shown behind Elton depicts Daniel dreaming and flashing through moments in his life before, during, and after the war.

  • isso é preda!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • MUITO BOM... adoro ...

  • it's amazing...no matter how much he sings this song, or ANY song really, it's always as magic as the first time i heard it. Only Elton can do that.

  • Daniel means the love lost, in any situacion....a friend, a brother, a son, a daughter......the special person what says goodbye and don't come back home.

  • i can't wait!!!i<m goin 2 see him in montreal!!!!

  • Cheers* Elton Elton Elton!...me and my mum both love him...especially mum though...

  • ele sabe e quem sabe faz ao vivo

  • Do cacete...Viva Elton
