Enough has been said about how good this song is and how well Elton gets the weariness across. We would be remiss if we didn't note what an excellent actor Justin Timberlake is in this. He wrenches every bit of the song's emotion out of this performance. The weary look he gives right after donning the boa at 4:25 makes my heart hurt a little bit. He is definitely a multi-talented performer.

JT bathes the EJ character in pathos. The exhausted look he gives the camera at 4:28 says it all. And then he steps onto the stage. It's a powerful story of a man who has given everything he has to give. Incredibly touching.

Late last year as my father was being consumed by pancreatic cancer this song was a constant play on his radio. He was larger than life if not flawed and this song could have been written for him. He loved EJ and am sad his whistle is now silent... Thank rocket man and Bernie for this beautiful song

This song has a '70s vibe to it, as the chorus reminds me of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," the title song from Elton's 1973 double-LP of the same name. As such, Justin Timberlake's portrayal of Elton circa 1973 is appropriate.

I once heard Elton John interviewed about that video (on his Dream Ticket DVD set). He said that each of the rooms were themed after phases of his life and career: for example, the blue lit room he looks into represents his foray into drugs. Also he didn't play himself in this video: he was played (masterfully) by Justin Timberlake. Elton was amazed by Justin's performance.

Yeah, it's exactly what the song is about. That particular EJ album (Songs from the West Coast) was really autobiographical. Every EJ fan should hear the whole album if they haven't already. The song about Matthew Shepherd (people, google the name if you don't know it) is heartbreakingly beautiful. (The song is American Triangle - I'm sure it's here on youtube.)

Only Sir Elton John could couch a bittersweet love song in an existential crisis like this. Elton comes up with the most lovely chord progressions and melodies, while Bernie Taupin seems to be the second coming of John Steinbeck. I'm a sucker for happy-sounding songs that are sad in content.

Don't mind me, just going through all of Elton's songs today.... love them. Every time I see Paul Reubens, I sadly hear Pee-wee's laugh. Even in a serious song/video like this that was beautifully shot. Up there with "I Want Love" for my favorites off this album, though.

Justin Timberlake did a great job projecting the song's feeling. Pee-Wee did a great job as well. One of the best video concepts I've ever seen and an incredible song. Bernie Taupin is amazing with his phrase inventions like "the man express".

If you don't know Elton John's voice or what he looked like, you fall in the category of a young kid. (At least compared to me.) Elton was one of the biggest stars of the 1970s and a major icon for my generation. It's cool that you like the video but don't ever assume that what you see in a music video is what it appears to be.

Absolutely the best EJ song since about 1978; captured his original sound and vibe. Great vidi too. EJ's lp that it came on "Songs From the West Coast" was a late career highlight in a career filled w/ highlights. Wish he could do one more for us in '23.
