Elton John - Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting), 1973 (Remastered 2014)

Looking into her eyes

Knowing she was about to cry

But still, she held a smile

All the pain she hides

Pretending like she's fine

I wish I could tell her that in time

She'll get to the other side

She'll be glad she fought the fight

You know what?

Thank you for being here. I know that it's hard sometimes, maybe it's hard always but the important part is that you're here. In this moment. It doesn't matter that you did nothing productive today. Maybe the only thing you did today was just be. But that's enough sometimes. Thank you for fighting even when it's dark.

now that Rocketman is officially out and most everyone has seen it I'm gonna post this thing thats been sitting in my drafts since I got to go to an early screening may 18th thanks to my best friend who's an amc stubz member:

.

I saw Rocketman last friday and other than me sobbing my eyes out bc I grew up with Elton John and my heart breaking from how emotional of a story it was, there was this one part towards the end where Taron Egerton as Elton John is dancing along on top of tables belting "I'm still standing" after leaving rehab and I was sat in the theater, all cried out, and immediately thought to myself that's Billy Hargrove.

And now all I can think about it is how much Billy secretly loves Elton John, how he makes sure he's home alone when he blasts his songs and sings out all the lyrics, dancing around his room, having the time of his life.

And how maybe he gets stuck into taking an art elective at school, needs the credits or something, its required and gets stuck in a theatre class. And how he just sits there with his arms crossed, staring at anything, rolling his eyes, at how dramatic these theatre losers are but secretly listening to the teacher talking about the plot of the next play they're performing because it's half interesting. And how he gets stuck painting backgrounds and building sets after school as part of the class and how one by one everyone else bails for dates or friends or commitments, and Billy's left the only one on an empty stage painting a wall of wood baby blue. But he actually doesn't mind the quiet, the alone time for once, and there's something therapeutic about slow brush strokes, and blue's not a bad color. In the quiet he finds himself softly humming one of his Elton John songs, and it's so soft at first but it becomes this gradual whispering of words to comfortable singing and crescendoes till he's just forgetting about the paint and belting into the brush and spinning and dancing around the stage, beaming from ear to ear, his voice echoing off the walls, just flying.

Until he catches something in the corner of his eye and he stops dead in his tracks, fear in his throat, trying to catch his breath still and the theatre teacher is at the top of the stairs, surprise written on her face. And then she just slowly crosses her arms and her face changes to this knowing grin and endearing eyes, "Mr. Hargrove."

.

ALSO Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting) is SUCH a Billy song, are you kidding me- I can 100% hear that song playing while him and Steve are back to back fighting off demodogs. YALL GONNA TELL ME OTHERWISE??

I'm gonna try to find a clip or go back to watch Rocketman to show yall the exact part I'm talking about bc Taron as Elton is just soaring in this denim outfit, full of light and newfound strength and it made me cry.

Tyler, after his first ever NHL fight: I have done nothing wrong, ever, in my life. Me: I know this and I love you.
