    True story alert: In early 2013, my 17 year old cat that I got when she was 2 was having health issues. In March of that year, I went to set my alarm before bed, and the part of this song "How wonderful life is while your in the world" played. I looked for my cat, and I found her deceased and still warm, under my bed. She is dearly missed, but I was blessed with my son 14 months later. God works in mysterious ways. Love you Jay and Amber. God Bless Everyone!

    It's amazing that this timeless classic was penned, music and lyrics, in about an hour or so at most. Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics over breakfast, handed them off to Elton at the piano, went upstairs to have a shave, and by the time he was done, Elton had written the music from top to bottom. They knew the moment they wrote it that it was something special. The public certainly agreed, since it was their first major hit single (Top 10 in both the US and the UK in 1970 and 1971, respectively). While the lyrics were definitely about the girl Bernie was seeing at the time, "Your Song" has grown to mean far more than that since then. It has become Elton's dedication to his fans. In the more than 4000 concerts Elton has performed in his career, there has barely been a show where he hasn't performed "Your Song". In fact, there's a fantastic video compilation of Elton performing it throughout the decades. It's well worth a watch, if only for the incredible array of costumes he's worn for his concerts.

    That's crazy. I've always heard a lot of musicians say that they almost always write music before the lyrics. It's amazing that Taupin can write lyrics without even knowing how it's going to sound! Unless maybe he does have some idea? I'm not sure what his exact process is.

    @robdaviesprogm

    @@johnjsal generally speaking, Bernie has no idea what Elton is going to write. It wasn't until later on that Bernie had any sort of musical experience whatsoever. In fact, when they first started writing together, Bernie didn't even structure his lyrics with any sort of verse/chorus/etc. Elton would have to figure that out what the chorus was going to be himself, if there even was going to be a chorus! That's how you got such atypical structures like you hear in early songs like "Sixty Years On", "The Greatest Discovery", and "Tiny Dancer". The "lyrics first" approach is unusual, though I've used it quite a bit myself, probably because I was so strongly influenced by Elton. From what I understand, Bernie just comes up with an idea and starts writing. For Elton, he says when he reads Taupin's lyrics, "a little movie plays in [his] mind", and out come the chords. Usually, if he doesn't get the music in an hour, he comes back to it later or abandons the lyric altogether. It's worth noting that while lyrics usually came first with Bernie, Elton has written music first with other writers, and on occasion with Bernie. Two John/Taupin songs where the music came first are "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". Gary Osborne, with whom Elton wrote mainly during the period of 1978-82, wrote lyrics to Elton's music, often fleshing out lyrical ideas that Elton had come up with.

    Thank you for the clear explanation about the songs and team Elton John/Bernie Taupin! It's very fascinating how some artists can write songs. It's something magical they have in them, that, to our great joy, comes out into the world. Indeed, in interviews and articles I saw that many writers first have the main musical lines on which they write lyrics. It can be a real work in progress, as you can see in the video Queen - The making of “One Vision”. Sometimes it's pure luck. The melody for "You Win Again" came to Barry Gibb in a dream. And when The Doors only had a few lines to the music of "Peace Frog", they filled out the rest with lyrics from three poems previously written by Jim Morrison.

We unfortunately parted ways a few years ago but the song still brings me back to that time and the simple message of how much I loved her.

Elton wrote the music to his songs and the lyrics were written by the wonderful Bernie Taupin who avoided the limelight. Beautiful, beautiful lyrics to this song which is now 52 years old. How many songs have stood the test of time over such a long period. Genius!!! Thanks again for a very beautiful and heartfelt reaction. Very best wishes from the UK. Take care.

    The reason this one is "broken down" as Jay has described it is because you're listening to a live performance. The studio version, which was released as the single, has a full string section behind him, which I suspect was replaced in this live performance by a synth. "Your Song" was his debut single when we first learned of him in 1970. A huge hit, and for my money, perhaps his best song. He had so many other great ones through the years, but I'm not sure there was ever one any better. If you ever want to just throw an album on and let it track, listen to his "Tumbleweed Connection" album. Just lay back and enjoy.

    His best songs, “Daniel” “Don’t Let The Song Go Down On Me” “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” “Rocket Man” “Honkey Cat” and “Saturday Night’s All Right For Fighting” The Bitch Is Back”. His first 5 years, 69-74 are nothing less than phenomenal. His music and a Bernie Taupin’s lyrics are unparalleled. His work in the 2nd half of the 70’s was unremarkable with some decent but not classic songs. He has sporadic hits in the 80’s & 90’s some of the excellent: “Empty Garden”, “I’m Still Standing”, “Club At The End of the Street” “I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues”.

    "Your Song" was one of Sir Elton's biggest hits back in the 70s and still holds so much emotion today. Beautiful lyrics and heartfelt music. One of my favorites of his is "Blue Eyes" and "I Guess Thats Why They Call it the Blues" and, of course, "Daniel"

    I first saw Elton John in concert in the early 1970’s at Madison Square Garden. Every time this great man came to town on tour, I went to see him, you can add up the numbers. In Elton’s later years, this was an encore song, and here’s the thing: Elton played piano, and we sang Your Song to him..the entire audience. I just saw him on his final tour, and he brought this song back into the regular part of the concert and sang it to us again. This song is magic.

I was walking down the hall leaving the dorm to go back home and I heard this playing on someone’s radio and I instantly fell in love with Elton John and this song.

He's had countless great songs but I'd suggest, Amber, you would love hearing either his dedication to Marilyn Monroe, 'Candle in the Wind,' or his tribute to Princess Di, ' Goodbye England's Rose.' Same tune, different lyrics. You can't go wrong hearing songs by Elton John, Neil Diamond, Roy Orbison, Cat Stevens.. thanks so much for your excellent and heartfelt reactions!.

    Elton wrote a Broadway show called Aida. The star of that show, Heather Headley, won a Tony award for her performance. When Elton won the Kennedy Center Honor, Heather sang Your Song in tribute to him. It's a stunning version and Elton was very moved. If you want, you should definitely do a reaction to her version. It's worth it.
