  • Why isn't the "Big Picture" album more popular? This album is magic, from the first to the very last note.

  • excellent song!

  • this song sure do lift up my soul!! realy loved it!

  • This song truly recovers my soul when I most need it! The vocals sound really healing, don't they? I love the video, too! :) :)

  • ...Release, relax, let go

    And hey now let's recover MY soul...

  • i love this song i don't wway it have some special is cool

  • Indeed: You have to fight for the things that matter... such beautiful a song

  • The Big Picture wasn't considered one of Elton's best albums but in my opinion it has many fine songs including this one.

  • His music, his songs, his voice are truly amazing

  • @cyrus1960 Your comment is not spam, I love Elton also!

  • discusssing sex, oscar wilde said: women need a reason and guys just need a place."

    and, he was gay. so he knew!

  • Thank You Bridgette for your sentiments, its nice to know that I'm not alone. Through the words of Donna Summers, "I will survive"., or Tina Turners classic, "I don't wanna fight no more", all I can do is look forward. I just feel so... drained, done & empty.

  • @Diane89890 Please, for the sake of our sanity ( all women's), please don't get too lost in your own head; that just leads to "crazy and demoralizing distraction."

    It is, indeed, a sign of strength to reach out... please, I would love to be your friend.

    I hope you chose to reach out.

    Take care....

    with love, Bridgette

  • What the heck does great music and a great musician have to do with these ideas of "God" and "sex sin"? You do realize your beliefs are your beliefs for yourself. Just because you think they're right, doesn't make them true. People that make rude comments stating their "all truthful" beliefs are really just hurting others.

  • When I start getting dumb about my impending divorce, I love this song. It's been tooooooo long since I've even known myself. I'm regaining me. Long, hard road howevr I know I'm still here somewhere?

  • @Diane89890 I totally understand your quest....This, too, is the song that I danced and sang to after my marriage disintegrated. It's a long, hard and often extremely lonely road to re-gaining ourselves and our own individual paths to self-empowerment and self-fulfillment. 10 years after the fact, I am still walking and struggling... Prayers and Love, Bridgette, xooxoxo

  • What a shame! We get on here to watch videos of artists and songs we like and then we have to wade through endless insults and arguements about gays and religion! There is room in this world for all of us! When I listen to Elton's music I don't give one thought to whether he's gay, straight, or old! It's the music that matters here! You guys should do do like the song says: release, relax, let go!

  • My Daughter is the first baby angel you see! she is really an angel now! she passed right after this video.. her birthday was christmas. Merry Christmas~ Happy Birthday Hailey!! she would b 13 yrs old now..

  • @trarose422 so sorry to hear about your loss! may she live happily in eternity.

  • @trarose422 I am, deeply, sincerely so sorry for your loss.

  • My favorite Elton vocal. Exquisite!

  • Listen to the clear voice, he's just so good. Great song from this underrated album

  • This song sings to my soul........

  • So God descriminates against gays? That sounds very unholy-like

    But this shouldn't be discussed here. Elton John is the greatest musician possibly ever. THAT is what should be discussed. That and the fact that so many of his songs are unheard of, like this one.

  • Hey,astrolifter...lose your "Christianity" and ignorance!!! I am straight(not that it matters),and being gay is NOT a sin,you ignoramus/homophobe!!! Enjoy the music!!!:-)

  • I don't think he's ever done a genuinely bad song. I love all his songs!

  • I've been listening for Sir Elton John for more than 30 years! Adore him!

  • Elton has such a soulful voice and he's a musical genius to boot!

  • @astrolifter also too bad you're a shallow minded, ignorant arsehole aswell. but then again who cares about you...you're not the one with the record history and money and pure talen of elton...i believe everyone is entitled to an opinion and that no opinion is wrong...except yours so keep it too yourself and save your abusive comment for somewhere else...thanks :)

  • @craignixon6845 Aids is spread more through homosexual sex..male on male then any other way, its a fact. Yeah he's a great singer with a lot of talent, but his sin is his gayness.

  • @astrolifter sin??? screw you...u bible bashing prik...heres my opinion there is no god just a load of lies to give u false hope...go die!!! elton rules!!!

  • @astrolifter wow, what a pathetic comment. Get a grip, we are what we are..........each of us...created in gods image.............your sin is your lack of tolerance............

  • Comment removed

  • @kayonalarsen I'm pretty sure God has never been queer. I think homosexuals are possessed by negative entities, that influence them to be attracted to the same sex.

  • OMG!!! I can't believe I finally found this song!! I love it! Thank you!!

  • This song is a healing song for all of us...

  • The POWER of Elton John.

  • Elton's new album The Union with Leon Russell is a peach!

  • Love Elton John?? Follow EltonJohnLyrics on Twitter :)

  • It's funny that for whatever reason this is being played a half step higher than the studio version. Reg, by whatever year this was written, would not have been able to hit the A flat so easily and clean as he could his younger pre-cocaine, weed, and scotch days

  • Thank God for Elton John and his genius. Thank you a thousand times. Fabulous song.

  • es hora de que todos rescatemos nuestras almas, y sobre todo no sufrir por algo tan efimero como el amor de alguien que no vale la pena salvemos o rescatemos nuestras almas

  • I LOVE U SHADY WHEREVER U R xoxoxoxoxo

  • this is beautiful

  • I like this album, they are very good songs.

  • Somebody Know the name of a song performed by Elton John in a duet with a woman... In the video apears some couples inside of ball of snow cristal... The picture is like a the work of Pierre et Gilles, please

  • @jijodecoatlicue, maybe Elton John & LeAnn Rimes - Written In The Stars?

  • @Umchonok you're right! Thanks a lot, muchas gracias desde México.

  • the song itself is great as usual from Elton, but I am not impressed with or do I like the video itself.it could have been done with a nice more pleasing video and perhaps it would have been a hit. it offends and bothers many people, with only a few exceptions .

  • Weird video but a great song! Elton sounds so fresh and warm.

  • The Greatest Melody Writer Ever In Popular Music

  • Nice, lyrics music, but not the visual video portion, an undertone - generalizing peoples' particular needs - first all from, a crude base - gold bond powdered mischief angels, and second - a vague hoaky general recovery - a gay conspiracy terror plan - against, less weasaled monied, white class people. This video is Elton's and the video coreographer's garbage - that scares white kids of all ages, to run, hide, to plot a bigger house, garden, and money making scheme, for retirement. RUDE!

  • הוכחת לכולם שאתה בעד ישראל והוכחתה לכולם שיש לישראל זכות כיום תודה לך

  • my most most favourable song ever ! what a wonderful song and lyrics !!!

  • Thank you for showing us this video here on youtube.

  • one of my all time favorite Elton John songs!!!

  • I love how Sir Elton looks directly at the camera while boldly singing let's recover your soul. It's a nice,personal touch passion about how people feel. Could just be me Lol...

  • I hope someday he'll hold concert in Austin. Great singer, great pianist, great lyric, and great song. Elton I love u and ur songs. Mr or Mrs. Videomaker, thank u for the video. I love it so much.

  • All I can wish is a long long and wonderfull life to this big hearted man.

    Thank you Elton for so many beautiful songs.

    God bless you so much!!!!

  • Yet another fantastic song from Elton. While I've been a fan for a number of years, I got into this song when it used to play a lot at a store I worked at in 1998/99. Brings back good memories (even though I couldn't stand the boss there).

  • Why is this song not on the CD called 40 greatest?

    The song must be one of his 10 best songs by my oppinion.

  • Amazing song!

  • is this the sweetest lyrics ever or what.

  • I didn't like this song when I heard it for the first time but now I really love it :)

  • never forget his songs, it's in our karaoke; thanks for posting

  • Long forgotten song from his massive collection but in my top 10 Elton songs.

  • SIR Elton john, no just Elton John. SIR!

  • this is like my favorite song!

  • Ive loved this song since i heard it on the radio years ago! Wish this version was avaiable on itunes for my ipod!

  • i could help you get it on your ipod - but it might not be a video - but i think i know how to get it video to - even with an ipod - without itunes!

    I could even get this exzact video on your ipod maybe!

    but i don't have an ipod but i use fetchmp3 . com

    search on youtube!

  • my husband plays this for me when I have a meltdown!

  • I sing this song all the time. one day you'll hear of me. The last high note is my favorite.

  • One of elton's finest! But after being an elton fan for more than 30 years..I would say, prob with the exception of 'Still standing' THIS elton's best vid!...mind you there's also 'Healing Hands'....lol

  • what a wonderful Philosophical song .. if one understangs it ! and with that richest voice ever !

  • Comment removed

  • ohh Elton!! you always have an answer for me.. this is exactly what is happening to me, i am so sad, but thanks God you're always there for me.. thanks for beeing such an important part of my life, you've been beside me for 24 years, and you'll always be, for the rest of my life.. and even more!!! i love you Elton, i mean it!!!!

  • I like this song...

  • omg he's so cute in this video!

    i love you elton!!

  • interesting video...but didn't anyone realize that they sped up his voice so he would sound younger and not have the deep voice....

  • they didnt speed it up dude its the recording he made of it when he was younger... listen to the album The Big Picture and you'll see :) if it was recorded at the age he is in this video he would indeed have a deeper voice

  • I played the cd version beside this version and it sounds out of tune in comparison, it's kinda weird, but I like the sped up version better i think

  • i'ts not the speed...it's the pitch..tha song is transposed one semi tone higher than the cd..just use your audio manager to lower it..than it's just like the cd version..=)

  • Hey Bernie! Great lyrics! It also amazes me Elton how you can do the music so quickly! You have both changed people and never forget it. ROCK ON!!

  • Great song!!! 5/5

    BTW: can the sucker that has a lot of accounts, finally cut this crap with advertisement?

  • So far so good! I'm very pleased that I subscribed Thursday morning!

  • Great song

  • One of the best songs from the 90's. Great song from an underrated album!!!

  • hear, hear! Totally agree man... especially among Elton's albums one of the most underrated and unrecognised despite the material being so great - im straight too and i think his songs are great so does my dad :P

  • @seanjosephhayes There isn't a single song on any of Elton's 1990s albums that I don't love -- underrated indeed.

  • Not one of his better songs, but I love the video. This one has a great concept and the cinematographer did one hell of a job capturing the spirit of the actors. Very uplifting images, without being maudlin or saccharine sweet.

  • he was better when he wasn't gay.

  • I don't care what anyone says..... I prefer the 90's Elton over the 70's! Don't get me wrong, he did some great songs in that era, but I admire how his style in the 90's became more embracive towards adult conemporary.

  • im in this video wen i was like idk jus like a baby PAUSE AT 3;54 TO SEE!!!!!

  • This song...his voice makes me melt. I was hooked the moment I listening to one of his songs.

  • I think I need this tonight...thanks God for Elton and the heart felt music he sings and makes me smile.

  • This is charming elton gem... catchy and so relaxing!

  • Alguien podria decirme en donde encuentro esta version de la cancion? me suena diferente a la del disco y es aun mucho mas fabulosa, ojala me puedan decir. gracias

  • pocos fans mexicanos,gusto enleerte en este momento

  • Hola Mario, lo mismo digo, no conozco a alguien que sea fan como yo aqui en Mexico, estuviste en las vizcainas? yo si!!! visita mi Hi5. saludos.

  • This takes me back to when I use to work the graveyard shift. This song would always play on the radio. I just want to go back to that time period. I was never aware this song had a video.

  • Its a infrequent title from him. I think , one of the greatest songs from him. Sir Elton John, the best singer, songwriter and pianist in time. Sir Elton John, a living legend.

  • Comment removed

  • love this song

  • Release...Relax...Recover...

  • LOVE THIS SONG!

  • i think I'll recover my sad soul

  • This is from Elton John's album 'The Big Picture'.

    The Album was simply awesome! I mean...quite a few of the songs were huge hits (Something about the way you look tonight, Live like horses) and the rest...like this song...just...weren't so good, yet I'm sure that all of us throughly enjoyed this song.

    I just love this song. <3

  • Elton is the best! great video!

  • esta cancion es una de mis favoritas la verdad es dificil decir cual es la mejor entre todas las de sir elton john

  • Agreed, underrated album top to bottom. Love the classic organ sound on this tune.

  • I simply love Elton!

  • I like his voice on this. This is good.

  • Great ! Perfect music, perfect song, perfect video .... . Fantastic !!!!!!!

  • awesome song! why was the album underrated?

  • Well----as video itself...it is one of my favourites....Kian Lee

  • another great tune from the real king of pop music-not that diana ross lookalike freak-. this was a really good album from the 90s.

  • I love this song!

    Love the safe angels too..rssss...males of couse...kkk

    Sir Elton John >>> TOP OF THE POPS!

  • There is alot of messages or meanings one can gather from this song. One can be much spiritual, taken the angels, and the 'recovering' etc.

    I think sometimes we get lost in the world around us, be it sexuality, spirituality, our physical needs and wants to even materialism, and sometimes we need to find who we are individually again, and relax... and recover ourselves before we got corrupted. thats my take anyways.

  • agreed!

  • great video great song..it was my favorite on that album besides the Big picture and Janurary cares,none of which got the attention it needed

  • i know he hates music videos, however, i believe this is one of the neatest music videos i've ever seen.

  • I so love this song :)

  • I do too! for some reason this song puts me in such a good mood!

  • Elton looks gorgeous in this video

  • Bland FM-friendly fodder . This is NOT the Elton who wrote "Indian Sunset" , "60 Years On", "Love Lies Bleeding" etc etc . I would like to hope that fans of his creative peak in the period 1970-76 would agree with me.

  • Complainer, stop already. The song is so GAY. Therefore I just LOVE IT.

  • Right of reply guv : Im not in the least bit concerned how gay, straight,bisexual or transgendered the song is . I was merely giving my opinion on the MUSICAL content of the song and comparing it to his earlier body of work which in my humble opinion is vastly superior in quality and content.

  • to put it finally.. if it is not Elton John who gives the world such spirituality, then it is Only Simpsons !! But sure Elton can do that !! :-)

  • The Best song and Video ever !!

  • his voice..it sounds...so...young :) i love his voice :)

  • And Elton has got something special, I love his voice, great great songs, every single one of them... brilliant

  • I remember they're looking for a lot of secretaries with the keys of their boss (miss moneypennies), it was all about a bet & my friends in front of telly thought, I would go there dressing up like moneypenny to meet Pierce, hell ya, I was crazy, he kissed the last woman half cheek/half mouth! Why didn't I do it? It's a great memory, hilarious!

    He had a cigar & was waving at us fans, he's still so gorgeous =l'oréal!

  • But I never knew the name of the song and I just remembered this old story...

    finally I've found it, I'm happy!!!

  • I was looking for this song for a longer time now. 1997, he sung it on a german tv-show "Wetten, dass..." and at this time I was soo in love with Pierce Brosnan who was on the same show (lol, I was so young;-)...)

    but anyway, I went to see Pierce Brosnan and he was my first Hollywood-Star (I love James Bond 4ever), so when I was back home, I started to watch the tape of the show for hours, thought of Pierce and cried to this song, coz it was just beautiful.

    Romantic, isn't it? :-)

  • Its the best song.. even if one wants to understand it spiritually.. and the best Video ever !!!

  • omg he is soooooooooooooooooooo dreamy!!!!!!!!!

  • I have those same glasses as him! but it's just like normal plastic, no persciption at all. but they are just like his. I have many glasses as him!!! LOVE HIM!!!

  • I love his smirk in the beginning!!!!!!!! I love him so much..he is great!!!!

  • he looks so great!

  • Elton John is obviously a spiritual messenger because of his awesome ability to make us feel better whenever we hear him sing-he is a healer, he makes the world always feel better! God Bless You Elton!

  • Bergaraleumaniano!

  • Sounds like 70's elton in parts. The best vocal he's done recnetly. 1997 his voice was at it's best!

  • Elton.... will you marry me?? oh, wait... damn you are married and to a guy no less oh well geuss I never had a chance XD I love this song... what album is this from??

  • Big Picture album (1997)

  • Hahahahaaaa aww I wanna marry with Elton too xD

  • angel!

  • just awesome
