  • I love this song!!

  • Father Callahans song!

  • I always figured "sugar bear" was actually something else. Why would he mentioned a cereal mascot?

  • @ThePantherproof Sugar Bear refers to Long John Baldry, also the "Someone" in this song. I guess they used to call him that sometimes.

  • Oh yes

  • Great song !!!

  • 19

  • Unbelievable how Elton as perfected his craft into his later years.

  • This is my favorite Elton John song... what I would give to see him live.

  • Eton John could keep going for the next 20 years no problem!!!

  • Anyone else notice his eyebrows?

    

  • Keen on a bum?

    

  • thank u for being u. I sometimes think u are mad at me 4 being american, but that I cannot deny. Thank u for the music that saved my childhood. Love, D,

  • Is that auto tune on the highest note of 'Someone save, someone save, someone save my life tonight' or is that him struggling to Reach the high note.

  • oh callahan...

  • This is real music

  • the captain is still fantastic. long rock elton!

  • You used to hate this song until I heard it live in Sydney in 2006. Great song 

  • That surgery Elton had years ago really messed up his voice, but not his songs. This is one of my favorite Elton John songs. Thanks for posting this.

  • God Bless.

    ♥ Philippians 4:8-9 (NIV)

    8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

  • God Bless.

  • Elton in the old days set a standard - pure magic.

  • i just talked to Kanye West. He told me to say "good morning"

  • hey turned gay you know

    

  • I saw him last spring in Pittsburgh and it was amazing.

  • Classic, "Thank God my music is still alive". Only Elton John could have predicited that.

  • 2 people are premadonas perched in electric chairs.

  • someone saved my life tonight .should have been!

  • should have been

  • Imagine my surprise when I payed over $125.00 to see Elton this year at the Louisville KFC Yum center and couldn't even see Elton and the sound quality was so loud and distorted that I had to put earplugs in to offset the discomfort. I actually couldn't even see the big screens due to the people in front of me standing up and they were taller than me. My childhood dreams CRUSHED lol! I left early. It sucked.

  • I'm sad for you. I'm 44 and waited all my life to see him. I thought I never would..I took my husband to vegas and it was just like I thought it would. Wish it was like that for you. sorry go again some where else.

  • Is it just me, or has Elton's dress code gotten progressively gayer as time has passed?

    Sugar Beeeaaar....

  • @degree7 Hahaha I see where you're coming from. But after the career he's had and the great tunes he's written, he could be on stage blowing a guy for 2 hours straight and I'd still pay good money to see it out of sheer respect for the man. Guy's a living legend.

  • @degree7 You mean when he wore feathered pink clothing and star-shaped glasses back in the 80's?

  • @DYoshe

    I don't know, but I think it's the earring that seals the deal for me.

  • Bernie was at the top of his game on this one. As was Elton.. he wrote the music on a cruise ship heading to America. Two absolute geniuses.

  • The story is that he almost got married but 'someone saved his life' 'that nite'...truly one of his many, many great songs. He's is so great live too!!

  • yes the 'someone' was apparently Long John Baldry

  • The story is that he almost got married but 'someone saved his life' 'that nite'...lol

  • I think I'm going to cry... 

  • DAMN IT, LISTEN TO ME GOOD, I'M SLEEPING WITH MYSELF TONIGHT.. SAVED IN TIME.. THANK GOD MY MUSICS STILL ALIVE.....!!!! Those are some powerful words right there!!!!!

  • WOW! Is it possible that his voice sounds better and better? :D Awesome, Love you Elton! Also love the glasses and suit, PINK YAY! :)

  • Love this song...reminds me as a kid when my mom would play Elton a lot. RIP Mom...

  • @coramprat so sweet! Ur Mom had great taste in music :D

  • I love the intensity and emotions that Nigel Olssen (His drummer) puts into this song - really beautiful.
