Mumford and Sons or poets of the fall, together, couldn't come close to the genius, musical writings of Elton John. No offense but music of today really has no substance. I blame record companies for that. Accepting anyone who practiced in their garage for a month then signing them to a major label ......it's sickening.
Im 17 and I ONLY LISTEN to oldies. 60,70,80s thats all I can listen to. Not any of the crap music out today that has pointless lyrics. The lyrics in old music make sense and tell a story, not like today. Nobody understands this in my generation
@james201214 Don't write this decade off completely. The majority of the music is terrible. But what of the bands (Mumford and Sons, Poets of the Fall, and others like them) who do their damndest to make music that is real and doesn't require auto-tune to be a hit. Just keep an open mind (and ears) you never know what might surprise you. :)
i've always assumed this song was a drug use reference. the lyrics are all cold & snarky until the chorus (heroine) kicks in. then the lyrics are just wonderful. those are some of the most charming love song lyrics i've ever heard
If You did not live the 70s and 80s You haven't lived musically speaking. All the younger kids of today will say the same words too there kids one day. Like the old saying I wish I new back then what I know today. Our music was the start of a whole new world, but we can't forget who gave us the music. Elvis, Buddy Holley, Beatles etc. So listen up put the guns away stop the violence pick up a guitar, or sticks and put it on paper. So much better to learn the music and enjoy it We did believe Me
Oh my gosh, I loved this album! I played it over and over and over again. Memorized every word to every song, every beat, every note -- just soaked it all in, right down to my bones :) That record was one of my all-time favorite possessions.
I was 13 yrs old and obsessed with Elton John. When I got into trouble my mom would take all my albums and 8 tracks of Elton John away. My how the years have flown :sigh:
Justin Bieber...PLEASE!!! THIS (along with Bernie Taupin's lyrics) IS TALENT!!! I feel SOOO SORRY for the youth of today; they're REALLY being shafted!!!
Mom it's been 15 yrs. without you and I still can't take it! Any Elton John song remind me of you and kills me!!!! I hope your okay in heaven with dad!!!!! My heart craves to see you and dad and I hate the holidays. Love you!!!! Alicia
I feel your pain on this. My Mom passed almost on Christmas Day last year. God bless you. It's tough stuff (especially holidays), but they wouldn't want us to linger on in pain. It's just that we miss them so.
Everyone stop saying I am gay and I love this song because he is gay too, or I hate this song because he is gay. It is a good fucking song, You know what I think about the sexual orientation thing on all elton john videos
FO GETTA BOUT IT HOWLIE! IT TIS A GOOD SONG NO MATTER WHAT!

@september29ification in terms of popularity, maybe, but most def not musically...sorry. i mean there isn't one thing on this record that wasn't done better by Mozart, besides rock-related sounds, but only cuz rock didn't exist back then
This album came out when I was 15 and I spent many many hours sitting on the floor of my brother's bedroom with his headphones on playing it over and over again, until I had the whole thing memorized. If I remember correctly, it was a two album set. I was lucky, my big brother was totally into music, had a great stereo, and would let me listen to his albums whenever I wanted. What a good big brother he was. RIP John.
Love the album, my first at 8 years old. Still one of my favorites. But I have to say, he's not especially kind to women through much of it. Ripping lesbians, prostitutes, skanks, easy lays, high society fakes, etc. He is kind to Marilyn Monroe, however.
I remember when this album came out...I wore this album out...I used to play this song over and over while plotting how to seduce my high school boyfriend...
@ThePasirpanjang I'm 20. My father bought this album for me as a birthday present in my early teens because I liked Elton. First song of his I ever heard was Island Girl. I would've been about 11 or 12 at the time. That would've been 2002 or 2003, some 28 years after this album was released. I'm sure there are others like me around... And we will be the ones that pass it on to the next generation.
I must have played this song 100000 times on the LP I had of this growing up. Listening to it again now, it brings tears to my eyes it's so passionate.
Love this song....Whenever I hear this, it reminds me of my high school boyfriend .......such good, simple times...... Nice to have songs like this, bring you back to these memories............wish I could go back...
Timeless song. It's so moving and the background vocals are beautiful. From One of the greatest albums ever made........... and when I say ever, I fuckin' mean it!
Have always loved elton john and bernie taupin and the band...This has always been a sexy song; elton's accent really sets it off.... love you elton 4-ever!
I remember in the 1980s when I was attending college, I called a radio station and asked them to play Harmony. The DJ said it was an odd thing, that even though the song had been out for 10 years, people were always calling for it, and it wasn't even a single!
Looks like all of us are here to reminise about that year, 1974. My best friend had a huge "crush" on Elton and we used to harmonize together on this song. Sadly, she's gone now, but I will always remember her fondly.
@pizza123able My friend, you should also check out the beatles and John Lennon's album Double Fantasy. There is a new album called Double Fantasy stripped down. I have to say I usually like to leave well enough alone, but this is a great album. It is on youtube. Peace.
LOL! Don't feel bad. I'm a gay male and I don't last long without listening to the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, Zeppelin, Radiohead and others. Music has no boundaries and no labels. Too bad other things in life aren't the same.
I cannot believe that only 95,407 people have bothered to watch/listen to this song. Millions salivate for contemporary acts like Lady Gaga and so few really appreciate a master like Elston John in the seventies.
@miabarry I agree with you 100% maybe it's because so many people these days just "hear" music rather than actually "listen" to it, so they just don't have a clue, sad but true.
Went to Chelsea High School '73. Remember this song and album well, Joints at lunchbreak, Amelias restaurant in the A.M. "scrambled two"please! Mr. White the science teacher bombed during class, New York was fun back then!
I was 11 years old....I would steal this album from my older brother when he wasn't home and listen to it....he would be so mad if he knew I did that :)
Though this song never gets any airplay.....it's actually one of his very best songs. If there are songs in heaven, surely this one would be on the top of the list.
Elton John night at American Idol and not one of these idiots even considered this song. If this song was done well with a simple backup singer or 2, it would be a home run for sure. EJ's best ever
this album has got to have made EJ and bernie Taupin a pile of money - in the 70's, everybody i knew had it. i have bought it at least 5 times over the years, myself!
it never seems to ever get acknowledged on critic's lists, but this is one of the top ten rock and roll albums ever made - about as close to perfect as it ever gets.
Had cardiac mri... I could choose a cd... chose EJ's Greatest. So sweet. I was crying listening to some of the songs, but couldn't wipe away the tears.
I had this song stuck in my head all weekend, so I had to play it, and it just sounds amazing to me today! I can't believe that it was 37 years ago that I first heard this album, and it amazes me that I like it just as much or more today.
1973 every single song on this two LP set is a true work of art. You really got yours monies worth. I first bought this on 8 track when I was traveling across the U.S.
Could this be a warm-up song that evolved into a real song? Beautiful harmonies as usual! These guys just sounded perfect togeather. The voices blended perfectly. Perfect title!
Am I correct that while this song was not officially released as a single in '73, it did receive significant airplay? I think I remember reading that it probably would have been another #1 hit for Elton if it had been released as a single. Back in those days, I think even non-single songs from Elton received airplay just because he was such a huge star.
@PopCultureSucks No soul, no feel, no staying power. I probably shouldn't pain with such a broad brush-there must be esceptions, but I haven't found them. This song reminds me of August 1974. In a place so far away in time, but so very "now" in my mind. Sometimes I run back there and I can smell it, taste it, feel it...It was real and innocent and desparate and comforting all at once.
@phoenixtimes2 Oh you better believe I remember that summer. Had just gotten my drivers license in March! So yes, one of the best summers I can remember :)
In high school everyone knew that Elton John was gay, and possibly bi, and that was in 76 and nobody really cared. Who gives a damn about the guys personal choices in that the guy is really talented. Why do people make an issue of his personal life. Who gives a shit.
I love it too. Love is universal, it can apply to anyone. I loved this song as a teenager. I was that romantic at a young age. And I love great song writing. You guys don't know who wrote it even, why get into sexual preferences.
Bernie Taupin is the Lyricist, Elton John is the Musician/singer. FYI.

Could this be a warm-up song that evolved into a real song? Beautiful harmonies as usual! These guys just sounded perfect togeather. The voices blended perfectly. Perfect title!

Am I correct that while this song was not officially released as a single in '73, it did receive significant airplay? I think I remember reading that it probably would have been another #1 hit for Elton if it had been released as a single. Back in those days, I think even non-single songs from Elton received airplay just because he was such a huge star.

One of my favorite Elton John songs. Musically, this song deserves more.

@phoenixtimes2 I wish I was alive in those times! The music today has no soul!!

@PopCultureSucks No soul, no feel, no staying power. I probably shouldn't pain with such a broad brush-there must be esceptions, but I haven't found them. This song reminds me of August 1974. In a place so far away in time, but so very "now" in my mind. Sometimes I run back there and I can smell it, taste it, feel it...It was real and innocent and desparate and comforting all at once.

In high school everyone knew that Elton John was gay, and possibly bi, and that was in 76 and nobody really cared. Who gives a damn about the guys personal choices in that the guy is really talented. Why do people make an issue of his personal life. Who gives a shit.

I love it too. Love is universal, it can apply to anyone. I loved this song as a teenager. I was that romantic at a young age. And I love great song writing. You guys don't know who wrote it even, why get into sexual preferences.

You are all wrong. This song is about Dennis Wilson's boat, "Harmony."!
