  • this is the song i want played at my funeral, it sums me up so perfectly. all my life, serching for real love, finally finding it... only to have my heart shattered

  • Every time I hear this song it's like the first time. I just can't get enough of it. My favorite ever by him, for sure.

  • Comment removed

  • This is on my play list for my funeral!

  • Elton John once again proves he's a music genius by making another perfect performance.Sir Elton John is perhaps the best music artist this world has ever seen.He is a gifted man.If anybody want's to listen to him, you will,finding you will put on one of his songs at your funeral.Thank you Elton John,and I wish you a happy life.

  • @IanAntonioBurke that is your opinion i do not believe that he is the best music artist of all time nor is he the best to this day. Other geners would disagree with your comment about him being the best musician. Black Sabbath for metal heads back in that day is the best of all time for metal groups for pop michael jackson. for death metal mega deth and now to this slayer and pantera to other rock groups. Iron Maiden is a good group for alo death metal freaks lol.

  • @IanAntonioBurke Andrew Llyod webber has inspired elton john with his songs like lion king if you asked elton john who inspires him you proably get people like andrew Llyod webber and many others. FOR hip hop great lyricist like eminem to twpac biggie smalls and many others the first rappers would be run m dc.

  • @IanAntonioBurke for musical theatre Michael Crawford,Sarah Brightman,

    Comparing to Elton John Stevie Wonder who has wrote his own songs and Ray Charles. Jerry Lee Lewis Elvis Priestly and many others like BUddy holly and you say that elton john is the best of all time i disagree strongly on that.

  • I just turned 60.. I never listen him to him before.. Oh what I missed!!!! He is wonderful!!!

  • @clarkzie100

    Wow!! I'll be 60 in a year or so and I have been enjoying Elton John's music since my late teens. You have some serious catching up to do, Clarkzie. You are in for a treat, believe me!! Happy listening and best wishes . . . Chris.

  • Brilliant this is my brothers YouTube account thumbs up if you think Elton John has a big heart.

  • I'm 56, and when I here this song and songs like it, from that great era. I don't know whether to smile or be sad. I miss those days so much. They will never be repeated. Young folks today have not a clue what they missed out on. No cell phone nor computers will match to what we had. Simple times is what we had.

  • Damn they don't make good musi like this anymore! 70's & 80's pop and rock kicked ass and Elton John is one of those who stood out with so many great hits. I saw him and Billy Joel during their tour several years ago and it was phenomenal.

  • I used to find meaning in songs, but then i took an arrow in the knee

  • Favorite Elton John song ever

  • He's a genius

    

  • @JustinBieberLover047 No sh*t.

  • My friend bought an Ipod and the next day, Steve Jobs died O.o....

    So yesterday he decided to buy a Justin Beiber Album.

    Friends and I are still waiting for the news...

    it'll do the world of music some good!!!

  • @crackyskull stupid ret4rd why do we care about your hate ?

  • hi matt person hey

  • Elton John = Perhaps one of the greatest Rock Artists of all time. It all came together for a man who started out in Britain living in public housing as a boy!! He had the great staff--writers-- and the piano. A truly gifted man...God Bless Him...

  • @DOLRED He isn't really rock more of a mild pop.

  • My sister and I have already decided that this song will be played at our mother's funeral (morbid I know, but she LOVES Elton John) and so it makes me cry everytime I hear it now. It also makes me miss my mother. :(

  • Thanks for posting ! (:

  • Missing my angel as well .

  • amazing song i love it . . . . ELTON JOHN is an great artist :)))

  • Such a sweet sad song-classic. Nice vid thnx-

  • Elton John was my second favorite singer from childhood. I had started collecting his stuff by the time I was 10.

  • SAMERCADES!!!

  • Good job with the lyrics, but you got one wrong. It's "...and left me blind by the light", not "...and left me blinded by the light". You were being more grammatical than Bernie and Elton, but the lyric is actually "blind". Otherwise, very good job. :)

  • This song was originally titled "Please let your son go down on me" but Elton's management thought that would hurt the sales performance, considering this song came out before elton came out... if you know what i mean.

  • @ryanmxn L..O..L..Z...!!!

  • @ryanmxn this fag is one of the best i dont care what he sucks!!!!!!

  • I need money unemployed broke 723 bedford dr 83202 G Ard wwwgreatbuyoutletscom wwwtopfuelsavercom

  • It is about meeting a girl for the first time....he would like to begin a relationship with this girl, however she keeps shutting the door on him "he's trying to find a way thru all the darkness by finding the answer within himself, but he keeps thinking of her....and hopes if only she'd just allow a little bit of herself to wander free instead of closing herself fully from him, there would be more light in his life.

  • Boyfriends two states away at his home.. I'm home here.. For some reason, I started to look at some old pictures of my old best friend/ non blood sister. We stop being friends almost a year ago.. She lied thru her teeth to everyone and the last lie to me went to far and I ended the friendship for a better life for her and I. I've missed her like crazy, lately I mean I have other friends. I just miss her company. Tonight it is like the Sun has went down on me.. Still a great song.

  • I like Elton John

    but George Michael sang it better

  • My Psychology teacher played this one day and I was messing around and lip-sang it. My friend looked at me like I was on some strange plannet. When she should have been the one from that plannet because how could you not sing to this song?!!?

  • everyone i know leaves me in the worst of times. this song is a staple to me and describes my life. thanks elton for this masterpiece

  • I let the sun go down on a perfect woman. And when i realized my mistake it was too late, now im a pathetic depressed individual. My advice to anyone who has love but questions it, is ride it out. Its worth the stress of the relationship. Because if the love is real then it will find its way through. Never give up on someone you love.

  • @dettanator :(((

  • @dettanator Is that what this song is about? Lost relationships?

  • @LedZepp1109 Songs are about whatever you make them. When i hear this song that's what it makes me feel.

  • I love the music Elton wrote with Bernie Tauman

  • @arlenekitty1 do you mean Bernie Taupin?

  • @dettanator I let mine go in 1976, and have regretted it ever since. She was Ladson SC, and I was from North Charleston SC . Oh if I could only go back. Been married twice, never again until its her, so I guess it will be never.

  • @dettanator Me too. It hurts almost every damn day.

  • @dettanator hahah there is no perfect woman out there bro everyone has there share of losing failure and mistakes. You can give up on a woman just like that she cheats its over end of story as far as depressed individual your advice is not that good and being pathectic means you have admitted your mistakes but the truth is everyone can be forgiven you need to forgive your self and get on with your life dude there are millions of women out there.

  • @KREEPNASTY1 wow. . .

    

  • @KREEPNASTY1 Thats messed up man

  • @Bethymae2010 Jk...I love Mike and Elton.

  • @KREEPNASTY1-your the real pervert,respect the dead creep.

  • @KREEPNASTY1 That MIGHT have been funny 15, 20 years ago. But now he's dead. Show some respect..

  • @mrs6pack Ok you're right. I was wrong... I guess I'll just beat it now....Ooops.

  • @KREEPNASTY1 ya i saw that comedian too lol

  • @JACKxTHExRIPPER Oh and who was that ?

  • @KREEPNASTY1 That's fucking disgusting why don't u just learn some damn respect u sick individual. Let the man rest in god damn peace!!!!

  • @km18082012 Hey why don't you just "Beat it"...

  • @KREEPNASTY1 "Leave me alone" ?

  • @fahadshippuden "BAD" ?

  • @KREEPNASTY1 thats a little tasteless, like your name.

  • @magiicat LOL

  • @KREEPNASTY1 It's ok, it would've been funny if it wasn't obvious

  • @KREEPNASTY1 you beat me to it i said it the other day

  • Let my people go and then we will see about sorry if it is real or not. it is the hardest thing you ever tried to say, but i assure you it can come from your lips without killing U. U know that too. Elton. Let my pple go & i mean it. dman it to heck stop calling me crazy, u do not want the wld to know all now do ya? I ask this, Kings or queens? flip that coin of all since 1968. then tell me. kings or queens.Heads or tails? every rose does have a thorn my dear, I never promised U a rose garden.

  • never said any of them were for me. WE know it is for Dianna. but you will never find another like her as long as you hate so much. you are like a poison that kills what loves you. you make it so you cannot find the love that would have been there, because you do not know nor do you want to. Princess dianna, loved her too. Princess budahari. how many princesses? i have tried so hard. you just hate and that is all there is to it. sorry? how much pain, wat is it that u wish for. but a lie.;

  • I couldn't even try to dislike this song, it's just too meaningful :) I love the winning melody it has on that last minute :) Sir Elton John, such a genius, only that :)

  • The Lost Boys. =)

  • frozen here on the ladder of my life...

  • I get chills listening to this, Amazing!

  • I'm an idiot and I love this!

  • so beautifull, muy  buena , no hay palabras para describir a sir elton jhon.-

  • Keep your kiss ass comments. Sir Elton John is a miracle vocalist and singer. Screw yourself into some reality... LifeStyles aside, he's the miracle singer....

  • great song

  • I'm a Hip Hopper and I think Elton John is the shit!

  • are you sure it's not "don't let your son go down on me"? it's an anti gay message...if you do let your son go down on him, god will strike thee down

    ok, i'm kidding...great song, great artist, and great lyricist all wrapped in one

  • This is one of Elton's all time best tracks. I also love the background vocals provided by Toni Tenille and the late great Carl Wilson's haunting melodic voice.

  • Don,t knock the man cause he's gay,everyone has at least 1 skeleton bone in their closet.Judge him by the beautiful music that was written over the years for us to enjoy.....His songs have been in the top 40's,every year from 1971-1996

  • i heard the last thirty seconds of this for the first time ever yesterday at 3 am when i was supposed to be asleep....thank god for a fucked up sleep schedule lol

  • woke up this morning and out of the BLUE felt the need to look up elton john songs (i always like him but this was so random...) and so i did, and now I'm extremely addicted. his songs are beautiful. <3

  • elton john-dont let the sun go down on me is beautiful gijoe989.

  • What a heartfelt song!

  • i remember my dad singing all of elton johns songs to me

  • great song i brought this album in 1978 in georgia i begged my parents to buy it for me....i just love Elton john...

  • This song is absolutely beautiful <3

  • what does this song really mean?

  • @jame55millie-Ditto. Not called to judge his soul-just enjoying a very talented artist and his amazing music. If we only knew what half these artists did in their private lives I think we'd be repulsed. Gay or not. Who cares?

  • @101GangstaPuppy totally agree, but he is gay dude. Him and his partner have just adopted and they've been "married" a couple o' years

  • Real music, not "commercial" music like they drill out now. How many of todays "artists" will still be going in 40 years!

  • @3dwurli dude, it's still commercial music, the only difference is, in his era "commercial" mean "you're good enough" where as today, it means "you fit the mold we've created"

  • 26 people let the sun go down on them.

  • The 1974 version - much better than the version with George Michael.

  • what's good about elton john's gay, is that if you just listened to his music and only saw him perform, you couldn't tell he was gay. there are guys the way they move and speak like you can just tell.

  • @port753 I didn't know sexual orientation affected musical ability. Who cares if he acts or doesn't act 'gay'. He's still great.

  • Brilliance.... Sheer Brilliance

  • the ladder of my life...ive climbed

  • I bet if the sun was gay it would go down on him...lol

  • @sawyerleemoore haha thats a good one

  • @sawyerleemoore great song but i just lol'd

  • Comment removed

  • yeah well let the moon go down on you then elton... hes got a bigger dick ;)

  • @DaffyDevil777 Was that really necessary..?

  • @seesyoufrommyhouse it was a joke... im assuming you have an elton fetish or something?

  • @DaffyDevil777 Nah. Just don't care for comments like that.

  • this and your song is my FAVORITE songs (but cant forget Benny & the Jets)

  • This song is Elton's best ever.

  • I love Elton John....there's a girl at my school who just HATES him, and I just don't see how that's possible..has she even HEARD his music? He's so amazing, & unique

  • @halle11780 shes a homophobic robot

  • @halle11780 What you want, you can't blame her. We've all been a little ignorant...

  • @halle11780 hit that girl with your car

  • @halle11780 I had a girl at my school say that Justin Beiber was better than Sir Elton, im a guy and i slapped her for that lol

  • @TheKliqOf3 Wait a minute, go back and slap her again, for me...

  • @PlanTonto Gladly lol

  • @TheKliqOf3 You can slap her for me too.

  • @TheKliqOf3 You can air slap her for me cause i guess after everyone on youtube makes you slap her for it, you'll be pursued hahahaha

  • @TheKliqOf3 good job, she deserved it

  • @TheKliqOf3 That girl uttered blasphemy!

  • @TheKliqOf3 Can I adopt you as my son? Slapping women is bad but idiotic women is ok by me...son

  • @TheKliqOf3 Good job Dude! Should have kicked his butt too.

  • @TheKliqOf3 i love justin and i agree that elton john is AWESOME! better than justin

  • @TheKliqOf3 domestic violence FTW

  • @shrek740 how is that domestic violenece? he didnt say he was related to her

  • @TheKliqOf3 lolz...well done!

  • @TheKliqOf3 what a hooker

  • @TheKliqOf3 the sun dont let the sun go down on me is saying he was blinded by the light think about that and the song blinded by the light what kind of light are we really talking about there is a spirtual truth in this song is elton john saying he was tricked by the light he kind of makes you think when we have singers who sing to us and the power that goes from the song into her our own ears and lifes.

  • why the fuck is everyone ripping on me elton john is one of my favorite artists all i asked is why thats his favorite part.

  • @dderbis85 elton john rocks

  • This song deserves to be listened to twice.

  • Thank God for Elton John!!

  • i listen to this song mainly for the ~8 seconds at 2:31 (:

  • @tabletoffee why?

  • sir john, you never cease to amaze me

  • cry everytime

  • I really like this song. but when they sung it on the voice i fell in love with this song!

  • @billybillybobjim wow the voice ruined it.all that show is is a copy of american idol

  • @dderbis85 how is a copy of american idol? i think its WAY different

  • @dderbis85 elton john wrote this get it straight retard

  • @dderbis85 no taste

  • Sir Elton John is one of the very best Artist that I myself have loved all 47 yrs of my life...He's a very good and kind Man and I think it shows in his Music. Thank you Sir Elton: Your truly the best keep it coming .... :-) Your fan Kim....

  • my classical music

  • i can't light no more of your darkness... one of the best ever openning lines to a song... truly a great musical work of art...!?

  • Sir Elton hit #2 in Billboard, 7-27-74. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

  • This Is One Of My Fav Songs EVER!!

  • HEY WIHCH VERSION IS THE ONE WHERE A GUY SAY "Ladies and Gentlemen Mr. ELTON JOHN" twice?

  • @DonaldMele That would be the George Micheal version, it's live, and he sings it along with Elton John. 

  • Thanks! After all these years this is the first time I've heard this one - so used to the live version with George.

  • It's I just turned out a fragment of your light, to wander free.. (meaning closed off from publicity to be himself) i LOVE Elton!! Timeless. :)

  • "Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see"That line really touches me in my heart because I am going to the worst part of my life and seen things 12 year olds shouldn't see and I'm 12. It seems like no one understands me although I'm the only one that understands everything and can see everyones side of view. I'm falling and staring to get to the bottom. I need to find myself before i reach the floor... before i suicide and run from the pain..

  • @Emolga724 I hope you can find comfort and take inspiration from great and uplifting music like this. I think that most people have felt, from time to time, that they've been "Saved by the Music" (Hayward/Lodge). Take life one day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time, or moment by moment if you have to, and things will get better...and best wishes to you.

  • @Emolga724

    Hey, I've been where you are now, and let me tell you: it's not worth it. The only thing that saved my life was that I forgot to take off the safety on my gun. It's been a while since then, and sometimes I look back and think about how glad I am I didn't take my life. And while I know you probably won't fully understand what I'm talking about until you come out of those dark places in your life and move on, I hope that you will eventually learn your reason for living.

  • @Emolga724 hey i am 53 now and i still feel the pain of when i was 14. i lay in a field of grass on a spring day and thought about everything that was going on in my life at that time and what would happen if i suicided! my whole world as i knew it was ending! but after a long talk to the heavens i was determined to not let the craphole i was in take me with it! i don't know if you have a parents love but my mom was my salvation and still is! i just hope you find something to bring you thru!!!!!

  • @Emolga724 Don't do it. Stand strong with yourself. Life is good, dear music lover...even in those darkest moments...there are people here who want you to stay. Please do so.
