Elton John- Empty Garden (with lyrics and The Beatles pics)

[skydogging]

The absolute best tribute song of John.Well done Miss EJ .Remember waking up that morning and picking up the paper outside,reading the headlines and thought immediately of Johns words '' I read the news today oh boy''. So sad,Johnnys been very missed.

[jbhuszar1]

RIP John Lennon :*(

[TheMarty1234567]

Elton always writes so beautifully. He captures loss so well, English Rose for instance. But he also reminds us, John may be gone, but he is still with us. It would take more than the heinous act of Chapman to erase Lennon. He lives on in the love of his fans, his friends and his beliefs.

[JHULIOCFR1975]

ESTOY LLORANDO (I AM CRYING) EN ESTE MOMENTO (IN THIS MOMENT). JOHN ERA UN GRAN SER HUMANO (JOHN WAS A GREAT HUMAN BEING): LO EXTRAÑO TANTO (I MISS HIM SO MUCH). ¿POR QUÉ LO MATASTE, MALDITO CHAPMAN?. (WHY DID YOU KILL HIM, DAMN CHAPMAN?.) NUNCA TE OLVIDARÉ, QUERIDO JOHN LENNON, (I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU, DEAR JOHN LENNON.)

[WelakaWombat]

Finally.. someone knows what this song is about.. and who it is about

[Jeremiy2]

I doubt it really has to with John Lennon, I think he wrote it for his AID's stricken friends.

[gggallant]

@Jeremiy2 ...No, he wrote it for John Lennon... He has stated so on numerous occasions.

[WelakaWombat]

@Jeremiy2 no no and no.. he wrote it for John explicitly for John

[mezzetin1]

@Jeremiy2

or maybe he wrote it for your debilitating mental capacity for comprehension?

[papillofivecorner]

Si existe una cancion dedicada es y sera esta gracias Sir Elton John por tan preciosa rola aunque el precio que se pago por ella es invaluable bienvenido a Costa Rica eres un gran compositor y cantante

[rock54326789]

he will never be forgotten, one of the best songwriters in the whole world, full respect and love to john lennon

[svrio22]

very good very good

[betito999999]

hey johnny we love you... thanks Elton

[islandsoccer]

this is my all time favorit EJ song. I'm just bummed that both times that I've made it to one of his concerts (NYC about 26 years ago and recently in Honolulu) he didn't play this song :(

The lyrics are just amazing and poetic. Great tribute to the great John Lennon (RIP)

[dreamcatcher2398]

Somehow Sir Elton always get it right on point. Just can't listen to this without thinking and feeling everything he sings. So very beautiful...Thank you, thank you for putting into words what I feel.

[MissEltonJohn]

@dreamcatcher2398 :*

[hatakeromina]

I can't stop crying when I listen to this song, just can't.

[MissEltonJohn]

@hatakeromina me too! :(

[curlyspyglass]

@hatakeromina Is it strange for a 44 year old man to cry when he hears this? No because I do every time. I hate the most beautiful song come from tragedies.RIP John

[diceman844]

IT ISTHE BEST TRIBUTE TO A SINGER THAT HE CAN EVER GET, i REALLY LOVE THIS SONG AND HAVE IT IN MY COLLECTION OF FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME

[Fherdnand]

It´s just perfect...



[cobbax9916]

cool pics on the video ....and nice tune... trouble is its been stuck in my head for a few days

but ...was nice to see the words as I didnt know the exact words. Elton was so talented

to write this song.

[MrOneeyedman]

We miss and love you John Lennon. 31 years without you....

[mr22ron]

I never thought when I saw John and Elton together at MSG that just a few years later Elton would be writing a song about his friend. This song and The Immigrant by Sedaka are such great tributes!

[CoreaKixx420]

Loved it....beautiful job my friend!!! Thank you so much!!!! And once again...how about Bernie's epic lyrics!!!!!!!

[MissEltonJohn]

@CoreaKixx420 thank you very much!

[RoyRolling]

@MissEltonJohn For my generation, December 8, 1980 was truly "the day the music died."

[javaman64]

Hey hey Johnny ~ Happy Birthday John Lennon

[Garyinspired95]

It's just not fair... he could have done so much for this crap of a world that we live in...

[diceman844]

@Garyinspired95 I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU THERE SHOULD BE MORE PEOPLE LIKE HIM ON THIS EARTH

[JohnNiemsMusic]

Imagine folks IF LENNON WERE HERE today! Check out my tribute tune for JOHNNY at itunes or any download place! I am singing IF LENNON WERE HERE in SEPTEMBER in front of the DAKOTA! IMAGINE THAT!

[711god]

it's hard for me to listen or watch anything associated with JL, it is just so hard to think that a person of his caliber is gone. But I am thankful for what we do have.

[ItsAllAboutBear125]

said song oh john :(

[aabasseri]

Guys, does any one give credence to the conspiracy theory that Mark Chapman was another Sirhan Sirhan, i.e a Manchurian Candidate situation? It's interesting to think about. The guy (Chapman) show up out of nowhere, apparently was a fan, gets his autograph a few hours earlier, later shoots him then sits down and waits for the authorities. I wouldn't, for one second, ever doubt the long arm and twisted brain of the Jewish backed U.S government. Think about it.

[omiechii]

why are the best songs the most sad?

[sbenz3843]

In loving memory of my dear friends that died senslessly. I dont want to miss a name, so for now they will remain "unamed". I will forever love you and keep you safe in a hidden part of my heart. You will all be missed, xoxoxoxoxo 4 ever,

Sandra. 07/22/2011

[smitten43able]

that is what i love about eltons songs; they have actual meaning; about real people; thats a big-hearted musician to me; im embarrased to say i never knew this was wrote about john lennon. sad.:( i do remember after he sang candle in the wind {goodbye englands rose} at princess dianas funeral he said he would never sing it again i guess he barley made it thru without crying. . elton will always be a great legend to me:). great music .especially" tiny dancer." my fave!

[snpshyam]

R.I.P John Lennon....great song..

[tontocom1]

I I want to cry so hard i love you john i miss you

[diceman844]

everytime I hera this saltwater wells from my eyes

may Mark david chapman rot in hell cause dying would be to easy

[lilley1957]

@diceman844 I remember the morning I heard that John had been shot dead in New York. It was like being repeatedly kicked in the stomach. However, I don't agree with your sentiments about Mark Chapman and in your heart of hearts you should know that John wouldn't either!

[diceman844]

everytime I hera this saltwater wells from my eyes

[cotchford1969]

Beautiful song for the late great John Lennon!

[Klydescope1]

Great song from a great musician

[Seattlecarnut]

Beautiful song! I love it!

[RevDrWally]

When did this happen?

[LizzieBennett1965]

Beautiful song by about a beautiful man. Thanks for making this video. The pictures are great.

[chettymarks]

I can remember hearing the news on the radio, and just staring in space for a while. what a shock, and what a waste of a wonderful life.

[stcysznn]

Good on ya Elton. Nice song.

[rdnick]

On this 30th anniversary of his death...we thank you Elton for doing this. We'll all remember!

[KB9TKB]

This is an awesome song. I heard this on a channel they have playing all Elton John's music till Friday on XM radio. I wish this song would get more airplay on regular radio it's that great. My wife and I got to see Elton John in Green Bay and he put on a great concert.

[zepfan74]

Happy "70th" birthday John Lennon. I wish you knew how much you are missed and how many lives you touched. You are a true legend and your death has made you a martyr for your believes and ideas and you are now larger than life. My heart goes out to Yoko and Julian and fans everywhere on this day of celebration to one of the greatest singer/songwriters ever.

[fowlerham]

Beautiful and painful. Elton is the Godfather of Sean Ono Lennon.

[botdorf]

Its funny how one insect can damage so much grain. And now there a little empty garden by the brownstone door. Mark David Chapman. The lowest form of insect on this planet. We were all robed by this fucking waste to the world.

[Vatch1966]

Hard to believe had he lived John would have turned 70 this year!!

[L53AZA]

Lovely!!!

[russoct]

Beautiful song, Please dont compare john lennon to elvis , it's insulting. john was a songwriter and musician . Elvis was a cover artist.

[FruFruKun]

goodness this is beautiful, I miss John sooo much and he died before I was even born... I was born in the wrong time!!!!

[gageboy14]

one of elton's best if not the best.

[kozseluham]

@gageboy14

Could very well be his best. What a powerful, emotionally draining song. A fitting tribute to a great man by someone who went on to become another one of the greats himself.

[songo05]

I cant listen to this song without tearing up T.T R.I.P John Lennon you are sorely missed even now but your memory will live on forever. :(

[KelseyL97]

This song has the power to kill...especially with the pictures. :''''''(

[eddiemi]

Why does this song get NO play on "classic rock" stations?

[eltonjohntheone]

I love this song wow!Elton is the best!Though john lennon is not the biggest dead legen i guess mj or elvis are.!

[goodmusic39]

nice song and video

@eltonjohntheone

probably he was not that succesfull or had so much fans like elvis and there were many better singers like him but though he was great musician.!

[xoBLonde56]

"a gardener like that one,no one can replace."<3

[rgkskate]

great song. great Johns...

[trayzac]

A beautiful song dedicated 2 one of the best musicians ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[songo05]

@trayzac except that this song was actually only written as a tribute for 1 musician (john lennon hence "hey, hey johnny")

[jeffisnude]

@trayzac i was under the impression this was dedicated to John Lennon.....1 artist, not 2.....tell me where ive gone wrong in my thinking

[chettymarks]

@jeffisnude it was about John Lennon. written and sung by Elton John
