“I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue.” It’s an astonishing lyric, but Elton John never shied away from speaking his mind. He overcame addiction, pain and rejection, still, he was able to get back on his feet. Maybe that is why his music touches people so deeply. It is not only catchy. It is bold and well emotional. Like The Bitch is Back. The title was inspired by Elton John’s longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin’s wife, who used to say, “The bitch is back,” whenever Elton was in a fiery mood.
In this video, Elton bursts onto the stage at the Dodgers Stadium in a silver suit, filled with life. The song itself is loud and fierce. In one of the biggest crowds he has ever seen. He made the crowd go wild. But there is a deeper meaning behind the song. It talks about frustration, anger, and the messy feeling of not being liked, but still showing up. The video feels wild and joyful. You sense rebellion and pride. His energy says: I won’t shrink myself for anyone.

Fans appreciate the honesty in this video. In the comments, one wrote, “I play this when people doubt me.” Many say the song gives them courage. Elton’s music reminds them they’re not alone in feeling too loud or misunderstood. That feeling connects people deeply.
The next song, Kiss the Bride, shows a different side. It’s not about pride. It’s about heartbreak. The setting is calmer, the pace slower. You see a groom at an altar, smiling. The true story is of someone watching and surrendering. This song is not angry. It’s bittersweet. The courage of the first video now feels timid and lost.

Elton’s music works because it reflects real life. Some days, we feel loud and confident. Other days, we feel left behind. His songs show both. He sings what many are too scared to say. Through glitter or tears, he reminds us of the courage in being real.
That’s why Elton John stays with people. His music speaks the truth, sometimes in a wild manner, sometimes in a soft one. Follow him on YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook. The next song might say exactly what you’ve been feeling.
