too bad...really too bad to me that "Elton" is a fucking Douche and prima donna in real life.....and when him and Bernie split up his music was GARBAGE...so, Bernie must of been a MAJOR reason for this asshole's success...I wish he wasn't a jerk people....but he is...deal with it
Elton didn't write the song, Bernie did, and he did it in 10 mins. Elton always jokes with him that its about an old girlfriend but Bernie denies it...
Elton was being interviewed on tv tonight (4/9/11) and said that he wrote,"Your Song" when he was 17 years old and people are always amazed at how pure this song is. He said that it's his favorite song.
W O N D E R F U L ! ! ! ! Elton John is a poet and he has a wonderful voice! "Your Song" is for me the song of the heart ♥ With this one i won the first prize in a singing competition two years ago :)
He didn't write the lyrics of any of his tunes.....however he did compose the music....he get's more credid than her deserves really. Still a legend but I wish they would make it clear who wrote the lyrics.
@ritaivy2 I don't know. I kind of feel like anybody could have written these lyrics. They're not even that good. The song is awesome, but it could be way better if the lyrics weren't so clumsy.
@thefruitofaliens I think that's the point of the song. The lyrics are sweet and innocent and clumsy to reflect the love of a seventeen year old boy. Which is the point of view that the song is written in.
@thefruitofaliens The lyrics were written by a VERY young Bernie Taupin... who was still "starry-eyed" at the aspects of love. He said that he had not really experienced love yet when he wrote it. So "clumsy"?...maybe to you. But through the eyes of someone as young as himself at the time....genius, inspiring, and touching. You can feel the innocence of this song...
i dont know why everyone was getting on eminem for gay bashing. its called free speech. to prove he wasnt a homophobic he had to preform with elton john
my mother is the biggest elton jhon fan and ever since i was born i have have been listeing to him and i'm absolutley in love with him! Elton rocks forever!
First time I've ever seen this version - it explains the straggler in the official promo version. But it raises the question: How many takes did they do? And where are the other versions being hoarded? EJ archivists want to know!
I knew it was in the Netherlands, but I didn't know where. Do you know where in Amsterdam? And where did you get that info? EJ Historians want to know!
This was taken for the first season from a show called toppop I think, this clip was showed in a program called wintertijd were they refered that it came from toppop, I think The Amsterdamse Bos or The Vondelpark, I go and look if I can find the recording of that show on one of my vhs-tapes.
the videos good but a little dum, the photographers! a little bit but yeah, is this like a second video i saw another one were there was alot more walking not as much papaerazzi
But this explains a lot. In the other video - the official Dutch promotional video - there's one homeless-looking guy who pops up in the background 3 or 4 times, and I've always thought he was just pretending to accidentally get into the picture so he could see himself on TV. You know, the same way you do every time you see a major motion picture being filmed on the streets of San Francisco. But now I see that the "homeless" guy was just staff, and it probably really was an accident!
Love this. Love Elton. But oh my, just discovered Janet Devlin's cover! WOW, such an emotive, raw voice :)

Little bit of Trivia about this song:
How long did it take Bernie Taupin to write the lyrics? 20 minutes over a bowl of cereal
Also it's often been stated how innocent the lyrics are. Bernie Taupin has since confessed, he was still a virgin when he wrote it.
