I dont care if he was singing about a guy, girl, a pet or tree, this song is beautiful. That's all my dad cared about was that the name Nikita is a beautiful name to which he named me after it.
tanto que me encanta esta cancion pero me decepciono que no habla de la guerra fria como se ve ella habla de su homosexualidad pero en mensaje subliminal que mal
I think that is the same as "Nikita" is a boy's name in Russian. We are all equal (people), and Elton John is a great artist, whether gay or heterosexual. The important thing is being a person
el arte es arte, todo es amazing, los artistas juegan con la relidad ;arte es ficcion, no tomes la cancion como algo dogmatico, no seas fanatico ni ortodoxo. did you mean'''''?
The best voice i've ever heard u know ur touched when u get shivers hearing just a voice...his music is amazing and brought many reasons 2 smile when everything in ur world feels like its caving......so much good he does and brings 2 this place we call earth.....ishing him all the happyness he so deserves it! ur awesome Elton
Everybody thought in the 80s that Elton John was singing about a girl named Nikita, and some people named their daughters Nikita... they didn't realise that Elton was gay and that Nikita's a boy's name in Russia.
@Cellsolid you are right, but in the original video, they showed Elton John singing Nikita to a woman, a Soviet policewoman, so many people would think it was about a woman. Probably the record studio did so since more than a few people back then would not purchase a "gay" song.
This song is just so amazing!! Always loved this one!! Elton John sure put out some great songs!! Takes me back to better days. This song takes me back to days of true happiness and innocence. I miss those days. My heart just aches for those days. What a time that was. Never to be forgotten! There was a magic in the air back then that you just cant feel today and that is a real shame. This song is pure magic in itself!! Missing those days but hold the memories in my heart forever!! ☺♥
@ausleyd2010 Elton may be gay, but he did not write these lyrics. Bernie Taupin writes the lyrics, and he happens to be married. Elton just writes the music.
It's a shame nobody makes music like this anymore! Songs that actually have lyrics and mean something. I remember buying this on 7 inch when it first came out :-)
Very good quality... The bass rocks in this song! What a great ballad by one of the greatest composers and interpreters of all time. I can't believe its taken me so many years to discover this song.
I have to be honest, I don't like the song, but the trumpet solo towards the ending is cool and sounds good. I don't believe its a real trumpet, most likely to be a synthesizer, because of the notes played of course.
@thefumigator in those times everything was done by man synthesizer was used hardly nowday it used 100% everything nowdays stinks and sucks talentless people
i love this song this is my father one of my favourites mine too when my dad was 15 he listen to this everyday i m 15 i going to listen to it (like father like son)
That's true, but in this particular case Elton was inspired to do this song after developing feelings for a Russian male solider named Nikita during his tour of the Soviet Union
