  • Awesome song! One of his best, in my opinion. I saw him live and solo last fall and he played this one AMAZINGLY. The improvisation was incredible.

  • this song makes me sad, me and my dad listened to elton john all the time...my dad passed away three months ago and now im starting to tear up. i lost him when i was 16....

  • @smashbrosfan42 Sorry to hear that. :( I lost my dad when I was 19. It's always hard, but be thankful for the memories you have like that...

  • he could be a hermaphroditic walrus, and i would still love this song.

  • I don't see anyone actually objecting to his sexual orientation here...

  • @Geekin91 Yet.

    

  • i don't know why people are bitching about his sexual orientation.straight,gay,bi it doesn't matter.he fcking rocks. 

  • Elton still rockin the tune!!!

  • levon helm baby

  • I believe in a future where there is no racial discrimination, where there is no sexual discrimination, where there is no religion, where the humanity is at peace with themselves as a species!!! I believe in a future where the human species comes together to help everyone and forget about petty differences and focus on helping each other as the same species, we are one!!!!!

  • He is the king of music.............

  • most def one my fave elton john songs off my fave elton john album

  • I totally love pre Disney Elton!!!!

  • @rah01kah1 hey, disney elton isn't too bad either

  • As a song writer, Elton Bernie are the Gold standards. Second is John and Paul. There, I said it.

  • this was elton's best period no doubt about this song is art compared to what a lot of musicians have done

  • Comment removed

  • I'm not crazy about the rest of lyrics but I love the song because of 1:10 to 1:55

  • i know a guy named levon, and he's the hugest faggot

  • Odd but I can't listen to this entire tune, it touches me in a place too tender.

  • @Naddycat So it makes you cum?

  • :O)

  • One of his best no doubt!

  • sometimes I sing Levon so loud in the shower i'm sure they are gonna come and take me away.

    Haaaaaaaaah!

  • i have always loved elton john he is a very cultured and talented artist and he is very happy with his new baby boy thanks elton for the beautiful music we love you

  • just sang this out loud in my kitchen - table top was my piano... and the crowds went crazy!

  • and the new york time said god is dead

  • Me-"Awesome..."

    Friend-"Hit the replay button...."

  • i hope i never get to a point in my life that i judge another person because of thier loves hopes an dreams

  • who gives 2 shits if hes gay. he makes awesome music

  • elton johns gay wow where have i been

  • 'homophobe'? I'm not 'gay' but it is a sinful lifestyle period!

    That doesn't mean I can't appreciate TALENT!

  • @uboobtube2 That's what my mom thinks, too. She frowns upon homosexuality but it doesn't keep her from liking the music of people like Elton John.

  • @uboobtube2 its not sinful man. thats religious brainwashing. im not even gay. how can someones sexual orientation be a sin?

  • lol, everyone is a better singer in the shower. Keep up the singing its good for the soul.

  • 30 people are deaf

  • thanks for the great music ... 

  • Truly, truly phenomenal song craft. Just an astounding tune!

  • Yo dawg I heard you like Elton John? Damn Straight

  • I don't care if he is gay, good music is good music. Elton John haters can keep on hatin'. This music kicks some serious ass!

  • Saw this concert in 71...at Carnegie Hall. One of the Best Memories of my Life...!

  • One of my favorite songs in high school. Thanks for uploading it. BTW, and lest we all forget, Elton may be the singer, but it's Bernie's lyrics that gives something for Elton to sing. Great vocals, but even better lyrics. Nonethless, great music that seems to no longer exist.

  • did this song iin houston in the 70'z.nobody was doing any of eltons word in the clubs

  • This is my favorite as well....i've been searching for it through all Elton's work....thanks for posting it....the chorus nails it....love this shttt, thanks again

  • I remember as a kid growing up . listening to this ..

    my parents playing EJ's music..

    So, this is memorable great music !! thanks EJ.

    PS this music still stands the test of time.!!:)

  • @23raynsc you need to stop listening to music because you said this.

  • Elton is an ICON and as a straight man, I do not care what his sexual orientation is. Also, I am not ashamed to say that I am a huge fan of his music and will challenge any homophobe that tries to give me a hard time because of Elton's sexual orientation.

  • @johnex3303

    Right there with ya!!

  • @johnex3303 amen! we were all fans back in the seventies until it became cool to make fun of him. Levon and "Border Song" are my favorites of his. Just enjoy the music and stop hating you christian bigots and hypocrites! Christians are responsible for more hate, murder and destruction than any other religion and they do it in the name of Jesus which makes them the unnatural ones.Don't you people get that by letting gay men live in peace there will be MORE WOMEN FOR THE REST OF US?? Geez..

  • @vlunney  Finally someone who gets it i dont give a shit about anyones sexual orientation but the more gay guys there is that means less competition for the straight guys over Women. Lesbians dont want us

  • @johnex3303 I could copy and paste this mate, well said! Elton is a God! Same for Freddie Mercury!

  • @johnex3303 Seems you're giving yourself enough of a hard time. Me thinks thou protests too much!

  • @johnex3303 It's a shame we live in a country where you can get positive regonition for saying you don't care if someone is gay. Not to disparage your comment in anyway, but in this modern age, we should not even have to let people know we don't care. Because, sexual orientation really doesn't matter at all.

  • @joshrocks11 Also, I am pro america and I am fairly optimistic, so don't paint me as an asshole who thinks everything is shit. 

  • @johnex3303 well said mate

  • @johnex3303 i as a straight man as well fu87ing agree its closed minded people wgo killed the rock and roll because its go wth the flow ive always said falling behind the times is just as good id rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints!

  • in all honesty, i do have one gripe. i have loved EJ my whole life. I am 43. grew up listening to him on vinyl. but i was crushed early when i found out he didnt write most of his early lyrics. still love him but, its kinda like finding out your wife wasnt a virgin?

  • Always loved EJ all my life!

  • EJ is brilliant no doubt about it

  • Listen to the drums, specially from 4'00'' to the end. Nigel Olson never plays the same. The energy of the orchestra is amazing. Elton's piano and voice are fantastic. Cannot find today a song like this. Just perfect.

  • What a wonderful song ..

  • Amazingly tricky thoughtful lyrics !

  • WTF who disliked this?!

  • the orchestration on this song is perfect

  • Fantastic lyrics and an incredible voice coupled with piano mastery...truly one of my favorites! Josh....spot on my friend. There are none like Elton. Thanks to youtube, we can all enjoy his music throughout his amazing career. Much love Elton! -Ivonne

  • levon - male name -country armanian-lion

  • u got it josh - will never be another like him. Levon rocks

  • My 8 track player ate this tape.I threw the tape player in the river.Got the CD now!Great song,great album.

  • @tippimail1 When your CD is no longer readable, please don't throw the CD player in the river.

  • I've loved this song since the first time I heard it, which is about 40 years ago.

  • @captainpitolargo I had not realized it had been over 40 years,wow still great!!!

  • cynthiacohendanielbrou

  • i sing this in the shower, wonder what my neighbors think ,[sometimes i give it my all] peace:)

  • what a great, awesome song! gives me goosebumps every time i hear it. and whoever doesn't like this song can suck donkeydoodle.

  • beautiful music of a bygone era, but we that experienced all the beautiful music of that era will always cherish it.

  • even GOD would listen to this and give it a big thumbs up

  • @ultrastark1 yer right about that!

  • how the hell can there be 29 dislikes

  • Used to listen to this song while driving from Oklahoma to Dennison Texas to work in the early eighties. The sun was going down and it was summer. Me and my high school friends were working the night shift, morning would be 12 hours away. But right now we had this song and still about fifteen minutes before we clocked in:)

  • my best friend is going to name her future son Levon and he shall be a good man!

  • Comment removed

  • 26 dislikes? There is no accounting for poor taste in excellent music I guess.

  • WHOSE LEVON?

  • @straight1941 Hernandez. Starting pitcher for the Washington Nationals. Hahahahaha! His son is Jesus Flores their catcher.

  • Why didnt this get on his greatest hits double album (CD)?

  • Pinklewilly you are correct..:)

  • ELTON JOHN IS KING!! HE SHOULD BE PRESIDENT!! LOVE HIM!!

  • @denooda Prime Minister actually.

  • Moms in jail for drug abuse dads dead heart attack... First song I heard after they both went away

  • 28 people are too stunned by elton John's amazingness that they accidentally pressed dislke

  • more talent Elton's pinky finger than any artist alive today all put together

  • @Josh102780 Michael Tsarion is the worlds premier conspiracy researcher/lecturer/author. Leo Zagami, Jordan Maxwell and Alexandre Dumas pere are highly informative as well. p.s. Melting Euphoria is similar to Ozric Tentacles and Gong.

  • @Josh102780 And god gave him 10!! How lucky we are

  • @Josh102780 What about Elton John? Is he more talented than Elton John's pinky finger?

  • @Josh102780 this is a really good song...but to say he has more talent than any other artist is an overstatement

  • @Josh102780 so you forgot about aerosmith, guns n roses, queen, eagles, journey, boston, kansas, roling stones, CCR and every other band from the 70's on.

  • @Nickfatboyallen CCR and Queen. maybe. the rest you mentioned are not in Elton's league. seriously

  • @phlather then you dont know music. go kill yourself now

  • @Josh102780 He's still alive. But I do see your point.

  • I'm gonna stand in front of all y'all ..and make a statement for the record

    In regards to the mans sexual prefrence I have nothing to say ......

    I will and do ....enjoy the gift of music and song he has been given...

    ( an thats my story an I'm stickin to it ) ......

    Be safe y'all

    and thank you .............

  • @aslanmemcup who ARE you?

  • One of my fav's of Elton!

  • To dislike this song is disliking "Apple Pie", Chevy's", and "Baseball"...OMG

    No, Elton wasn't born in America but he was embrassed by America and for those of us during his "Hay-Day" will do so until we meet agin in the next world.

    Elton...YOU be the Man...I don't care what anyone says you provided me and the world with some great music that penetrates into the mind, sould, and heart.

    Thank you for doing so...

  • @SuperLiftRick AND, to dislike this is also disliking The Band and Levon Helm, after whom this song is named.

  • perfection

    

  • Not much surpasses this.

  • How can there be these many dislikes?! Elton is a pure musical genius and he is so talented, and makes wonderful music!

  • i cant just believe there is a song with my name =D

  • this isn't just my favourite Elton John song, it's my favourite song of all time.

  • well since we are sharing memories I have one less tragic. my dad let me skip school to go fishing with him and this song was playing on the radio. to this day this song reminds me of all the good times with him and my brother while we were younger. neither of them are dead but the times where we would fish and joke are. goodbye childhood, wish i died then so i wouldn't have to deal with this adult shit.

  • @zerorez420 this passage is from the book Twenty Years After written by Alexandre Dumas pere. ALL CONSPIRACY RESEARCHERS SHOULD LOOK AT THE COVER OF THIS BOOK, IT TELLS A STORY. it is from page 662 of the Oxford Worlds Classic---'Oh, oh! said Porthos; you know the proverb 'that's a long way from the baron's coronet that you promised me, d'Artagnan.' 'Bah! not so far as you think perhaps, Porthos; you know the proverb: "Every road leads to Rome."'

  • There are 27 dislikes here, claptonusa. Ah, how would we weed out the ignorant from those who know? I dunno, check here, cuz there's 27 really stupid people out there. Sorry.

  • Elton John is an absolute legend. This summer, my grandmother was nearing her time. While I was on the way to the hospital to see her, I heard this song playing on the radio, and I suddenly burst into tears. I thought of everything that my grandmother meant to me: her generosity, her cooking, her humor, and her absolute love for her family and her grandchildren. She passed that night. This song will always stir emotions of my grandmother inside of me, and I will always be her little man.

  • @letsnotuselogic - what a tribute to your Grandmother this post is. I'm sure she's proud of you. God Bless.

  • @letsnotuselogic i know exactly what you mean. when i lost my husband at age 31, i couldnt listen to radio or watch tv or anything enjoyable. when i was finally able to turn the radio on again, the first thing i heard was 'another day' by paul mccartney. i just started crying and had to pull over on the side of the road. i still get emotional over it (24 yrs later)

  • @letsnotuselogic Dude. That is just heartwarming. Brings a tear to my eye. Just beautiful

  • @letsnotuselogic Your rite I hear this song and I get goose bumps everytime . His music is great. I like Rocket man

  • @letsnotuselogic Did you play the song to her at the hospital? Did she hop like it was Crocodile Rock?

  • @letsnotuselogic Michael Tsarion is the worlds premier conspiracy researcher/lecturer/author. Leo Zagami, Jordan Maxwell and Alexandre Dumas pere are highly informative as well. p.s. Melting Euphoria is similar to Ozric tentacles and Gong.

  • --God bless Elton John! The man single handedly transformed song airplay on the top 40. His songs were so good that the program directors couldn't chop them down. Many of his songs were 5+ minutes. THIS song hits 2:10 before it gets to the 2nd verse! Those of us who love the 'complete' recording couldn't have been happier. You da man!! : )

  • @63weezer yet another reason why the 70's were E-X-C-E-P-T-I-O-N-A-L!!! Incredible time period, not to be repeated, or forgotten.

  • @69torus--...true words brother, true words. : )

  • @69torus

    Except for the clothes; I hated the clothes I had to wear.....bell bottoms and paisley shirts sucked not to mention plaid pants.....was like a f''ing clown circus.

  • @Trexter42 Plaid pants!!? that does indeed conjure up some ugly memories. : )

  • great song!!

    

  • This new Elton John might be a big hit. They're already playing him this summer at Seekonk Speedway in Massachusetts between stock car races...Dan O'Niallain

  • my favorite part

    "He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day

    When the New York Times said God is dead

    And the war's begun

    Alvin Tostig has a son today"

    powerful lyrics :D

  • One of my faves. What ever happened to music like this? It's full of passion and heart. Elton John ftw :) <3

  • Comment removed

  • 26 people dont want to levon

  • No one really cares how young anyone is here. Just enjoy the music.

  • LOVE THIS and I'm 13, you don't see many 13 year olds loving Elton John do you? :D hahah<3

  • holla at a brother Wendy!!!

  • My favourite Elton John song of all time and my favourite song of all time. And a travesty that there have not been more people who have heard it.
