Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Yellow Brick Road 4 of 21)

[rendilkraesin]

This song is liberation incarnate. Maybe for Elton & Bernie it was a "coming out" song, but for anyone with rationality of heart and mind, this is about being who you really are. It's about giving up the illusion, the denial, the slavery. The Yellow Brick Road (of Oz) was a pathway to self-discovery, finding that all you need is already with you. The roots of each of our truths already exists. All we have to do is go down the path and get past it, past our own delusions and fears. Go now!

[jony1661]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This song is so addictive

[XBLChubbySkunk]

This song never gets old! Elton should have won the Golden Globe!

[swanderski]

How does Madonna win a golden globe b4 elton and Barry .

[politicoochie09]

I need a couple of vodka and tonics!

[DavidSpencer6174]

I've always thought of this as the aftermath of Honky Cat. Honky Cat is about leaving the farm for the city. Now the narrator says "I should have stayed on the farm, I should have listened to my old man" as opposed to "all the folks back home said I was a fool". In Honky Cat he wants the "high-classed ladies down in New Orleans", now he thinks someone will "get a replacement". I know they're probably not actually connected, but I think it's an interesting idea.

[mailkoff]

@DavidSpencer6174

Interesting theory! I'm not saying 100% sold, but I'm going to look into it myself.

[ElvisTheBest1000]

I'm italian and I'm 16 years old but despite everything I love so much Sir.Elton XD

[gaudiocrewe]

No comments, I have read really promote this!! It is an underrated masterpiece. The man was on form for sure with this..... I think he has more in the tank!

[diorryan]

This song puts such a big smile on my face I wonder what the hell Im taking Prozac for! I LOVE IT! I could be PX drug free if anyone of todays artists figured out how to make music like this. Oh well, anyways....back to my Prozac and Vodka smoothie

[popetzm1]

@diorryan lol

[johnlovesbridge]

he's a genius

[dugtook]

@johnlovesbridge and the dogs of society howl

[yippitydodah]

[AntiWebkinzteam]

Elton John's Left nut has more talent than Lady Gaga

[MasterNcognito]

6 people tripped on the yellow brick road.

[eeeeeeclapclap]

@MasterNcognito Maybe it was Madonna "Disliking" this 6x!

[kakurot69]

Elton Hercules John was the mann in 1973! Ohh Yeh!!

[santhipeace]

great song. good to listen to his songs.

[mightysaint]

Horny backed toad .....

[mamagoogoo]

Horny black toad... giggity.

[bigderekkeene]

@mamagoogoo AL-RIIIIIIGHT!!!

[garryindahouse]

One of the greatest records of all time. Beautiful song. Ill review it on my channel soon!

[tomlockey]

Love this song. Just makes you want to down tools and f**k everything off. Simples!!!

[rlf22755]

i also believe it says something about giving up the rat race for a simpler way of life. Bernie Taupin is one of the great poets of our time.

[garganbrenna74]

I think this is my new favorite song, period.

[markrawlingscassie]

listen and learn< really its all about having everything and reallising all you want are the simple things in life

[drubedo]

@markrawlingscassie thumbs up... I think you hit the nail on the head here

[laurenheartscouture]

I love this song. What is it about exactly?

[BeatleManiac4ever]

It's impossible to listen to this song just once.

[rudeger66]

@BeatleManiac4ever That"s because it isn't nearly long enough...right now, I'm on my third go round

[sotweeddude]

@BeatleManiac4ever I agree!

[EpicCanadienNoob905]

you know hes Sean Lennon's godfather

[27Dominico]

Such a talented true blue singer! :) 

[CastorThePorcupine]

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH,AAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH,­ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH" I love that part.

[AlgorithmicCrane]

@CastorThePorcupine So do I!

[meelker12345]

@CastorThePorcupine me too

[synysterjazmyngates]

I've played this about 20 times now, none stop.

Shit, it's so good.

[synysterjazmyngates]

The radio just played this and I had to hear it again. :D

[phantomlover62992]

Randomly got this in my head during school today. I'm so happy I did.

[illegalPaint]

Raping replay button. Cannot stop. Elton so good.

[Ralphdogdoggy]

Here's a challenge to you youtubers..... who is better Elton John or Billy Joel? They are both fantastic Musicians. But it struck me that they both have alot of the same styles..... I just can't choose one or the other they are both super freaking sweet :)

[4540524]

@Ralphdogdoggy They're just different.

[djounejp]

Impossible to play this only once :D

[PvPwithdinner]

Str8 as fuck and elton john kicks ass

[PedoPedrin]

I like his shoes..........and Im straight o_O

[Clydeslope]

@PedoPedrin I like his music....since about '74 or so...and I'm straight. Seriously. No...really....you don't understand... wait.. LOL

[savage13ish]

first off what does elton john being queer have anything to do w/ his musical talent. for those who cant get past it Dont Listen.......

[chicalatina61]

love this song and anybody can love this song its not about homosexual!! I agree with you annoyingego :)

[annoyingego]

i like this song and some people think im homosexual for it , some people think im stupid , some people think standing up for what i like and some people even think im the most amazing man in the world

the moral of the story is ............. at least there thinking of me

[msraymond]

one of my favorite songs!

[mykind1000]

A couple of vodka and tonics to get me on my feet again.

[ArabianJesus]

I'd give up a klondike to sing like elton

[highgroundstrike]

@ArabianJesus id get an arrow to the knee to sing like him :)

[PokemonHunterAnthony]

@ArabianJesus hell yeah!

[AlgorithmicCrane]

aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaa­aaahhhhhh!

[gaurinnnet]

Now!!! I'm f%%%ing pissed! What in your DNA failed you to like this song. Why the f%%%% did you hit the dislike-button. Report and explain yourself to me, bastards!

[alkabul]

great song great artist i don't mind if he is gay or not, he is just amazing !!



[hazardous541]

[MrBrownns]

raekwon sampled this in kiss the ring.

[xMASTERxYODAx]

great song

[S4r4hPwn4g3]

My Nana used to listen to Elton John all the time. This was my favourite song when I was younger. Listening to it now (I'm 20) brings back so many memories. R.I.P. Nana and thank you so much for introducing me to amazing music.

[BaddBrad61]

I get almost as much fun reading the comments here as I do at the Jeff Gordon YouTube Videos.... Less Social Commentary, More Music Boys & Girls!

[1968lucille]

It kills me to hear this song!!!! Love you forever mom and dad!!! I hope your proud of me!!!!!!!!! 10-11-96 Love your daughter forever, Alicia

[sussexpenguin]

It's all quite simple peeps .. do you like the "toon" or not ? Forget what you or may-not think about the singer, etc. Is it a good song or not?

IMO A Classic pop-song. Great even! JIMHO

[Sweeteepye99]

Love Elton John #thatisall

[jimminy64]

ELTON JOHN IS A DUMB HOMO

[Purpl3scar3cr0w]

@jimminy64 then why are you listening to this video bitch?? get the fuck out of here with that nonsense pussy, your just jealous that youll never be talented like elton john is, and youll always be a loser lowlife

[Lookeebox]

Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road brings back many good family memories, me and my sister were little kids then, living on N.Hollywood Way and W. Oak St. and near RCA and Warner Bros. life was the best then. Everything was better then. People weren't so crazy then. The Valley was different then. Not so political-Policed

[SuperGuitarapprentic]

Music is not split into era's, to be forgotten, and remembered. Music consists of many timeless genres, each one's peak of popularity taking place at the time of it's innovation. Just like classic rock, and big band. and everything else, modern R&B pop, or whatever the hell you call it, will fade out of the spotlight as a new genre reaches a distinct point of innovation. And just because people have different music interests doesn't make them less than you, or anybody else. Music is Music.

[ezyernie]

Awesome. If Elton doesn't reach you, you cannot be reached.

[MrMGD92]

Another classic.

[Equus1965]

Uber tune. Don't give a fuck what anyone else says

[eminemfan1111]

i think its funny that everyone says most people today don't know what great music sounds like, yet most people that i went to high school with know Elton John and i just graduated. guess it varies by region.

[BasteReginald]

@eminemfan1111 I think most high schoolers will know Elton from all of the media he got because he's gay. I doubt any of them will actually listen to his music, though.

[bengerman04]

This song is so good it makes up for the fact that everything else Elton John recorded is dross.

[rewessel1]

be nice children

[Hotpiescott]

@ncf1 if there was awards for tosser of the year you my friend will win top prize

[Hotpiescott]

I have this album it is good

[ncf1]

@Hotpiescott if there were awards given out for understatements, you my friend would win top prize.

[TheMarksMediaCo1]

Much better then what kids listwn to today. I shown all of my friends this video after watching this is there face.=) 

[jnctf]

Incredible song, an underrated song IMO.

[laurinthompson]

I LUV SIR ELTON JOHN.....

[liftedcj7on44s]

It took me a couple of vodka's and tonic's to get me back on my feet again!

[EpicCanadienNoob905]

great song

[travishirey]

does "lil waine" even know what a chord is? dumb monkey probably cant even play marry had a little lamb! why is he famouse when it comes to music? but none of the young kids like elton?? give me a break!! you would think that as time goes music would get better but i guess not.

[kltannk]

@travishirey Like i tell the younger people about music...I may be old to you but at least i got to see all the GOOD concerts! Includes elton 7 times Peace>>>

[tracyblogger]

@kltannk - BEST - COMEBACK - EVER! I just shared this on my Facebook and Twitter pages.

[GirFanatic7]

@tracyblogger That's funny, about 13 seconds ago i shared this on my facebook lol

[od112]

@kltannk dick...

[od112]

@od112 not my fault i was born too late in life....

[OldMusicFan83]

Damn good musicianship! Great writing. Nearly 40 years old, but just great on so many levels.

[Louis1560]

It's funny, because I read more comments about people saying stuff like "stop complaining about his homosexuality" than people who actually complain about it. Just leave everything behind, Elton is a good guy and great musician :)

[pitbikecrazy]

@Louis1560 and he's also a dad

[MrGuitarphenomenon]

@Louis1560 HAHA I think about your comment SO much on other videos... 17 pages of people saying that, then theres 2 ... maybe 3 people tops that actually say something mildly negative you sir are awesome : P

[totallyout9]

@Louis1560 agreed, in this day and age are we STILL talking about his or anyones homosexuality?..lets JUDGE people on their accomplishments and the good that they do to better the world not that they like to love someone of their own sex..love is love.

[Meglio85]

@Louis1560 also, he's not homosexual, but bisexual :P

[aychingao]

this song is too short to me, should be longer. I mean, it ends really fast. Greetings from a mexicano.

Juan Gabriel is gay too, but whatever he plays, he turn it into gold.

[Magnus2131]

Wish I had a dime for every time I played this album.

[hjbusa4]

You guys dont get it do you? This is music. That means you cant see the one composing so what does his sexual orientation have to do with anything? The song is amazing. Do me a favor and see if you can reach those notes and then post deragatory comments.

[XBrokenwingsX98]

Holy shit! did you hear that? its! its! its! i forgot.... hmmm what the hell was i gunna say?

[KillBaddBugz]

Fucking awesome

[TheOneEyedHound]

Shut the hell up about the gay stuff and just listen to the awesome music!

[420BRog]

well for those who have issues with Elton being gay...BFD...Freddie Mercury was gay also...doesnt mean they cant put out awsome music. so just stfu about the gayness and enjoy the music

[MichaelHansenFUN]

@420BRog elton john was married once to a woman!

[hammer1416]

another greast song from a legend love you elton thanks for some great memories

[efjable]

elton john and freddie mercury, the two gays i give credit for, good job on making great music, and you freddie, you rest in peace

[JofOblie]

SO GOOD!

[MastaRagin]

The Picture is screwed >_< .... He's saying "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" When he is clearly just entering the yellow brick road ? Lawl

[Nikanaiko]

@MastaRagin Maybe he's walking backwards.

[johnlovesbridge]

@MastaRagin but it's just a poster on a grimy brick wall, an illusion.

[kcc85uk]

awesome song

[erichollywood2002]

Sure he may be gay, but unlike Bieber, he's open about it, and I respect that.

[gvirav]

I'm a pony!

[clownwithoutmakeup]

@gvirav what?

[hoglet84]

@gvirav I'm a pony, too!!

[jmangta]

@gvirav iam an a and i find this offensive

[niggercamel]

@gvirav Like Fluttershy?

[Mr1989myutube]

Wizard of Ozz eat your heart out. This is the real yellow brick road

[glaukus666]

Damn Elton. Damn.

[rommel371]

WHO CARES IF HE'S A SHIT SHOVING FAIRY QUEER!, I FUCKING DO!!

[ilovearmadillos]

@rommel371 And subsequently, no one cares what you think. So... Where does that leave us?

[xraymoe1]

@rommel371 The world would be a much poorer place if it were not for the great works of art produced by gay men over the centuries.

[divinegod102]

@rommel371 And not a single fuck was given that day.

[laurinthompson]

@divinegod102 SHUT UP

[divinegod102]

@laurinthompson Mind your own business and raise your own kids.

[lstynerl]

in honestly hate how all of you people talk shit on here. this man is a musical genius who cares if he is gay that has NO effect on his music. he is simply a human being that creates amazing music. MUSIC is what this is about. his sexuality is NOT A FACTOR. for all of you expressing your opinions about this particular piece of MUSIC i thank you for letting me see how you interpret this great song. for all of you people obsessed with his sexuality. FUCK YOU.

[jonkheere1]

@lstynerl

Well said My Friend,The fact that He is gay did not bother the millions of fans who have listened to and bought his music for the past 40 Years.

[lstynerl]

@jonkheere1 EXACTLY. thank you man

[1955markus]

yea right who give sh_t if he was gay his music is iconic !

[TheHambone12]

I guess it's true what they say:

Sometimes the Emerald City is but a mirage.

[ZiggyGranberg]

My favorite Elton John song, and one of my favorite songs all time. Absolutely brilliant!

[Tierra235]

Amazing song. Have grown up to Elton John and have always loved his musicl

[5301]

No doubt...he's sings real good, the fuck with all the gay shit......don't matter at all!

[JessB00001983]

Last I knew this guy was a f***in millionaire, and has more talent is his g*y toe than most straight musicians that still grace this Earth. So, carry-on with your hate a jealousy elsewhere. Like, a prison shower. Thanks.

[orlandomarquez00]

ante tal manera de tocar el piano y cantar quien puede estar pensando si es o no gay?? esta completamente fuera de contexto

[senor47]

Such a beautiful song...

[chonches]

reginald dwight's gay??

[TiaJinxi]

If you really loved this man you would ignore the hate, the jealousy, and the idiots, blast them tunes, damn to the haters and scream to the world who you really are...

-Tia Jenkins

[marbleheadband]

great tune reminds me of my first girlfriend alexis dinardi.....alexis if your out there call me on youtube

[MsNazliKhan]

This man is so talented. The chord progression is so amazing in this song!!!

[MsNazliKhan]

It is so amazing to see that even in the 21st century we have closed minded people. I don't really understand the correlation between Middle school pregnancy and sexual activity and homosexuality!! The children in middle school are this way because of the fact that sex is expressed so casually in our media. And for one thing I believe that it is good that people express their sexuality because for so long they have been treated horribly. They should be comfortable with the way they are!!!!

[tippimail1]

We've all gone beyond the yellow brick road.One of Elton's and Bernie's greatest tracks.

[heatherton101]

@yipeokia1 I'm sorry if you've got kids in Middle school preg/sexually active, but THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING GAY!! It has everything to with parents that have their heads up their arses and ignoring their children!! HELLO?? It's so sad that we have to LABEL people......

[geoffk54]

This album was Elton's Sgt. Pepper, Sticky Fingers, Who's Next, Pet Sounds. Did I leave any masterpiece out?

[KhmerD0g]

fort knox gold is very fitting to this song

[GregoryMM]

Thumbs up if Conservapedia brought you here!

[gemskii42]

Totally timeless <3

[TheCzc011235813]

cynthiacohendanielbrou

[DesireeMJimenez]

<3 it :)

[LennonHarrisonFan96]

This song is so catchy and amazing!I really can't get enough of it no matter how many times I've listened to it.Overall this is a wonderful song!

[sussexpenguin]

Too much talk as-per-usual about nonsense. Let's talk about the song. Amazing still, let's thank songwriters and composers for giving us stuff like this. Haters please go somewhere else.

[ZiggyGranberg]

Absolute brilliance.

[mercury591]

Just saying

[missvqtoyou]

LOVE.



[cricoc69]

This is pure clean talent, as well as pure original clean cut music. This generation has no concept of originality. Who gave anyone the right to judge any individual of their personal prefrence. That has nothing to do with the person themselves,it shows the lack of knoweledge and wisdom on that persons part. Know what you are quoting. Stop being a idiot who is misinformed.

[mercury591]

Hey if u didn't know already @Jorsalfar Elton john is gay.

[samness7]

@mercury591 ...And your point...? That's what he wants to be, let him be it.

[MrRazorblade999]

Great singer. I don't care if he's a pervert

[ociee117]

So you wanna talk shit about Elton John being gay? You know he still got more pussy than you in the early 70's.

[kutchieMik]

for some reason, this song was on the last 5 minutes of my dream. it was pretty amazing actually

[DualsMeatChevy94]

who cares if hes gay? it doesnt have anything to do with the music he sang

[packercat17]

@DualsMeatChevy94 exactly...in respects to his music, being gay makes no difference

[Honeydew7396]

@DualsMeatChevy94 Amen, brother. He was a fantastic musician. Anybody that holds his sexuality against him, disregarding the amazingly talented person he is, is an ignorant buttmunch.

[alawsz]

Being gay does not have a fuck to do with how wonderful this man sang!

Nicole Walthall

[DualsMeatChevy94]

@alawsz i basically already said that

[Nickfatboyallen]

i wonder if he found emerald city
