Rocket Man
Elton John Lyrics

Stäni Steinbock

@WaterMelonMan he wrote the music, Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics. That's how they always worked.

Pedro Heckler

Elton is now the most important artist in my life! he has a fantastic story and wisdom! no other person would dare teach me piano like Elton

Francisco Ynguil collado

Que buen artista y cantante nuestro elton jhon lo queremos con todo el corazón que dios le siga bendiciendo en todo te saludamos desde chimbote Perú 🇵🇪.

I have no idea what i would do with myself if i didnt have music.

I have a friend whose brother asked for this song to be played as he took his last breath. It was, so he passed listening to his favorite song. Sad but kinda sweet.

This song for me through the worst point in my life. I had always been depressed, but when I was 20 years old things started to change. I started to become emotional over little things and I slowly began to lose my mind. Piece by piece little parts of me would fade away from myself. I began to believe things I never thought I would, see things that no one should see, and hear voices, always whispers constantly throughout my days. It progressed like that for a year and with Covid starting in March 2020 when I was 21 things only began to get worse. I had to drop out of college, I couldn’t work, and I stopped taking care of myself. I nearly when blind from being catatonic due to myself neglecting my diabetes and at night through my blurry vision I would see the shadow figures of women walking through my home. I started self harming and medication with marijuana which only intensified my declining mental health. It got so bad, I got so paranoid that I hung up noose in my mothers backyard because I believed the government was going to arrest me for a crime I never committed. I was going to hang myself. I listened to this song every night after I made my decision, pressing the blade of knife down into my wrists as far as I could tolerate it to go while taking as much insulin as I could so I wouldn’t have to wake up and hear the voices in my head. I was going to do it when my brother came into my mothers house, I was in the bathroom but he has went into my room and read everything I was experiencing as I had written several different sücide notes in the weeks prior. He took one look at me and told me we were going to the hospital. I spent two weeks in psych, had several doctors come and talk to me and was diagnosed with a mental illness known as schizoaffective disorder, which is a combination of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. I was releaved to have a name for the thing which has ruined my life but I did not want to be crazy. I cried as many times as I could there when they were not sedating me but a nurse at the hospital allowed me to have my phone as she said I was nice unproblematic patient. Guess what song I decided to listen to that night, squeezing my cellphone as hard with bandaged wrists while keeping my ear to the speaker to avoid being caught by the people doing checks. That was the first time I felt peace, my mind was filled with nothing but the lyrics, no paranoia, anxiety, or voices. A year later I am back in college, engaged, and work part time. It isn’t much and it certainly isn’t constant but the peace I have when I listen to this song is more valuable than anything to me.

@Carrie Elefant honestly, I used text-to-speech and added in punctuation. It still took like 25 min and I had to edit and move stuff around. Still not perfect but I wasn’t typing all that on my phone.

My dad passed away 2 weeks ago. We loved music so much; we loved listening to it together. Found a notebook in his closet from when he was young, filled with band pictures and music notes and lyrics. This song was one of them. It was lovely knowing he liked the same songs I like as well. I miss him a lot.

Somehow I think of my dad who passed last year. I miss him so much. I like to think that

Lyrics:
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine AM
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time

This song helped me through so many times, especially when I had to come out to my parents. This song has inspired me to do things I normally wouldn't try, and whenever I feel down I just listen to this. This song is truly amazing.

@hollowpoint45acp Such a sad way of looking at things... This is a beautiful video that perfectly illustrates how a song can resonate with different people in different ways, and gain new meaning through interpretation - reducing it to ”woke points” simply because the protagonist is Iranian does the very nature of art a huge disservice.

Foi a primeira música que ouvi do Elton John e o achei incrível, foi marcante em 1971. Depois vieram as outras pra consolidar o grande cantor, compositor e músico.

Such uplifting comments, what a beautiful song, it means something to everyone. Love to all, bless Elton for this masterpiece.

Thomas Crone

51 years later, it still gets me. One of the top three concerts, I have ever seen - and us lucky radio people, in the 60's, 70's and 80's got to see some incredible acts. Stevie Wonder was incredible but the best? Bruce Springsteen - the QE Theatre, in 1980, was interstellar.

Don Joe Villacorta

This song makes me cry the first 15 seconds of it. Classic legend cheers to Elton for this legendary record.

É interessante os paralelos desta musica com minha vida atual, casado com uma linda esposa, com uma linda filha, voltei para minha cidade natal para morar perto da minha família e da família da minha esposa, mas por algum motivo, me sinto assim ... sozinho em meio de tanta gente que eu amo, é engraçado como cada vez que ouço essa musica, meus olhos se enchem de lágrimas e meu coração acelera.

Her performance is different. A good cover should be. Otherwise, what's the point? And which performance is better? This is a subjective thing. But her singing technique is definitively more perfect.

Went and listened to her version, it’s ok, but not close to the level of Elton imo.

Channellahinsomnia

For the first time heard this song and I fall in love with this song, this song remember me of my daddy, he was from a poor family and bring me to get my bachelor's, Thanks dad for everything, and Thanks to Elton John and for the great cover from Sara.

Hey, man

It's so hard for me to listen to this. My dad loved Elton John & he was always on the road so he felt this song was about him. Played this at his funeral. RIP old man. 😔

Ouvia muito esta canção, em minha adolescência. Esta sempre foi uma de minhas favoritas do Sir Elton John, simplesmente, um gênio da música moderna! I USED TO LISTEN TO THIS SONG IN MY TEEN YEARS! THIS ONE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE SIR ELTON JOHN'S SONGS OF ALL TIME, WHO IS UNDOUBTEDLY A GENIUS OF MODERN MUSIC!

frenzyy

while going through radiation at the hospital for cancer treatment , they always ask what playlist i want to listen to. my go to is always either an elton john playlist or a queen playlist. but i remember on my last radiation appointment i chose elton and i was listening to this song as i finished. i had been feeling so distant because i couldn’t do much cause how sick i was, but this song brought me so much happiness. and in that moment, for some reason i knew that i’d get through it and be alright in the end. and here i am still alive to this day fighting cancer for the 7th time and i will never give up. don’t care if it takes a long long time , i’ll be okay :).

Didier Koffi

@ComedyReliefGuy true

ComedyReliefGuy

@Didier Koffi Sure, fair enough, but I used the word interpreted for a reason. Most songs have a “correct” meaning, but also can have other ones found in its lyrics as well.

Didier Koffi

@ComedyReliefGuy technically, the astronaut one is correct, since it’s based off a short story literally called “the rocket man” in the illustrated man. Same story, only part they leave out is him crashing into the sun
