Elton John - Looking Up Lyrics
Figuring out where I went wrong
The script not followed, then was awfully long
Too much pluck, too little of
The acting right, not acting up
I wore the world upon my back
Just because I could say
It's my life, do things my way
Now I'm looking up more than I look down
The view's a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
Color a lot with a broader stroke
The laughter comes as easy as the jokes
Time is wasted looking back
Now I'm looking up more than I look down
The view's a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
You drop a bucket in a well
It's dark and deep down there
Crank the handle, bring it up
The water, crystal clear
I'm looking up more than I look down
The view's a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
I'm looking up more than I look down
The view's a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
Looking up, looking up
Looking up, looking up

Elton John Looking Up Comments
As good as anything he's ever recorded.
Other good work of Elton.
No pierde el toque.
Why is there no acustic/ instrumental version?!
Life changing moment: Speed the song up to 1.25
A lot of people give Elton crap for being a diva. Well, at least he deserves to be one if he is. His music is impeccable, and his talent is unquestionable. He's not like Mariah Carey who thinks she can be all hot stuff cause she had some hit songs. He actually has the talent and ability.
Flipping awesome song!!!!!
Excellent!!
A classic.
I haven't stopped listening to this for the past 24 hours, this piano riff is extremely catchy.
Yep, that's my favorite part about it!
Man LOVE ELTON JOHN.
Beautiful....
Pretty catchy, yeah?
I LOVE YOU ELTON, YOU'RE THE BEST!
I'm going to see you in Barcelona this December :) :)
His best song since Blue Eyes and Sacrifice. Everything in between was crap.
Truly uplifting song
448 people looking down
I love it so cool great job
Such a great Feel Good song !
blue hope black everything khakhakha Rain Dance Time 😂😂😂
il 16 luglio a Mantova ci sarò.....
bellissimo
That's interesting. Why is the song changed for the music video? On his album he repeats the chorus twice at the end, here he only does it once.
Martin Garrix: Don't Look Down
Elton John: Looking Up
O melhor =)
I love this song ITS AWSOME ;)
I guess Elton wants to change a bit be better person andall
Loved Elton since i was A kid...my big bro had the stereo for the ej blasting...and his son is also a Elton fan...a lifetime of thanks..going out to Elton....i really like his new stuff better...better every year!
the piano cover....man
I'm loving his rockin, upbeat tunes. I used to listen to only his introspective tunes, now I'm looking up.
The beginning reminds me of:
A
CAT
NAMED
HERCULES
Totally!👌...I got a busted brain & a hornet sting like an out of tune guitar.....
"Time is wasted looking back". Uma ode ao "seguir adiante" com a alegria de estar vivo e poder continuar liberto.
i want to here the song Brian white
woah a good 2010s song
More like woah a good song after an era of bullshit(2000s).
+john colon this era sucks mostly
Invisibilly Your ears haven’t been blessed with They Might Be Giants, then
can't wait to jive in the aisles to this tune later this year at echo arena liverpool , looking forward and up , thanks elton
The OLD Elton is back with his great fast songs...about time!
Love the beat. This is my new go-to song when I'm feeling lonely, sad and/or depressed.
A huge happy birthday from me to the Rocket Man himself Sir Elton John.
Dude can still sing, you know?
Brill Rock and Roll Elton
This song has a lot of happy energy.
SIR REGINALD KENNETH DWIGHT OR ELTON JOHN, ONE MORE FANTASTIC SONG, LOOKING UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He just keep on coming up with these fantastic riffs! Great song!
Best ELTON ALBUM is a long time! DO NOT MISS it if you love real music.
yyeessss ill defo be buying this album xxxx love u sir Elton john xxxxxx
A lot of years from now I'm gonna show this to my grandchildren and say to them "here's a music from back in my day".
I really can't understand how this can only have 300'000 views after 3 months while Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and else get millions is a day.
+João Branco Because young people are force fed the daily crap like Beiber, Swift, Rhianna and the like are pumping out and don't listen to well established artistes like Elton John.
That's why they get the big numbers of views.
love it
Another instant classic.
Congratulations to Elton John for a record 71st top 40 hit. This is on the Adult Contemporary Charts its first week out at #20 this week. His highest point since 1996s "You Can Make History (Young Again)" which premiered at #11. Heard in an interview when this album was made, he wanted it to be his first upbeat album in years - I think he succeeded.
+AcuraT He also wrote many of the songs for the guitars for the first time ever - using chords they can play as well. I think it worked well this time out.
The Bitch is Back
I don't remember Mr. John's performances 20-30 year's ago, but I would say this, that his truly outstanding last 10-15 year's.
Giorgi Baramidze AMEN!!
68 years old and still got it!! amazing work!
oh yes he's still got it
@homer151 its called talent
It's something else.....ill think of it and come back
Love this song :) You are getting better n' better <3
I am starting this think this record is going to be a masterpiece. I am loving all the songs thus far on iTunes... *big smile*
Best song he's done for a while.
+Don't knock the rock One of the weaker songs on the album, i.m.o
A fun slice of upbeat pop rock.
great blues!!?
I like what I heard from the album so far. Might be another number one album hopefully for him. Loved seeing him years ago in Paris and then later in Sun City, South Africa.
nothing special, Madonna is more creative :-P
This will sound amazing live :)
This colourful part at 1:20 reminds me of the David Bowie face coloring
Not bad!
Feels like the 70's i can just imagine Elton singing this in his youth
+James Pelletier true
ELTON MUSICAL TALENT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE
The main riff in this reminds me of Pleasant Valley Sunday by the Monkees. Anyone else?
I love is song 3★★★for you
I love you Elton !!!
Lol I can't help but smile listening to this...Elton and the Band hit it out of the park with this one!
Great!👍
To say that this is mediocre would be more than kind. It is embarrasing. Still an EJ fan though.
Great track
need a quick adjustment to absolutely LOVE this Rock/Rythm & Blues song..reminds me Jerry Lee Lewis piano play...Grows on You but GREAT Fun Song
Hate the piano riff in this and the way the riff resolves. could be any amateur band in any bar. worst song I've heard in ages.
+Becky Morris Worst song you've heard in ages? You only have to turn on any mainstream radio station to hear a modern chart hit which will be 10 times worse than this.
Yeah, fair play.
you cannot put a good guy down.
Elton and Bernie are awesome at ballads, but its awesome to hear some good upbeat rock songs these days. Im sick to death of hip hop and "new" country every damn place you go.
+Eric Stewart music today sounds like shit.
@michael jagger Totally agree. I look forward to these real artist like Elton John, Jeff Lynne, David Bowie,etc releasing new material. They all have great catalogs of past music.
+Eric Stewart gotta love you old ass music elitist
Very rock n roll !
개존좋;;
Mundane Sorry I don’t speak squigglese
I'm 18 years young, and this song is absolutely phenomenal. Going to be one of my favorites for a while!!
i really like this track..drums sound great...mixed very well..nigels snare really cracks and drives the song along..happy elton used his touring band...much better then studio session players...cant wait to buy the album...i also liked the title track wonderful crazy night....so two tracks...and i am into it....thanks Elton and Bernie and band!!!!
Quality Elton👍👍👍
mood booster!
CONGRATULATIONS ''SIR'' ELTON JOHN !!!
Sensacional !!!
Elton John will be out with his "Wonderful Crazy Night" in early february 2016. David Bowie will be out with his album "Blackstar" in early january 2016. Good times!
+fickoz the album still came out.
his album did, but he didnt, he wasnt there for the release, shame really
+fickoz yea 😥
+Georg Hägglund Eh...
R.I.P David Bowie! He was a true legend. 💖 Can't wait to see Elton tomorrow though!
This is shite; absolutely fucking dreadful. A throwback to the early eighties. Fat twat should retire if this is the best he can do.
his songs have all the hooks ! xD
the who r u?
Well, wasn't that a refreshing cup of musical coffee.
+CrashPreinsertion beautifully said ))
+CrashPreinsertion awesome!
Good feeling& bouncy.most positive.Elton sounds fresh as ever! Love!👑
I've listened to this song for a few weeks. I like it a lot. The Diving Board was depressing and a low point in Elton's career, especially considering the hype it came with.
Can hardly wait for the full record....!!! GO ELTON......!!!!
Great song 👏👏
a hit single for sure
go go elton
