THThis is Elton John performing Tiny Dancer in 1971, before the song was released.
The lyrics were written by Bernie Taupin about his girlfriend at the time, Maxine Feibelman.
She’s sitting right there, so Elton John decided to perform the song on camera for the first time.
It’s her first time hearing the song.
Her smile is priceless.
The way she looks over at Bernie as each lyric starts to connect with her.
Bernie could have said all these things to her before in conversation.
But hearing it translated into melody is a completely different experience.
This is what music is for.
Creative takeaway:
Where words and actions fall short, music finishes the thought.
The greatest thing music can do is leave the listener with something to feel.
