Elton John stuns in emotional performance of “Your Song”

Elton John stuns in emotional performance of “Your Song” | Society Of Rock Videos

We definitely don’t mind that Elton put his heart down in words!

This performance is so special.

Elton starts the song thanking his fans in America for the never ending support, loyalty, and love he has gained through-out his career

He then dedicates the song to the crowd… “this one’s for you“.

Before Elton hit it big, he worked as a song writer, and a studio musician. In the beginning of his career, he was the warm up act for American rock band, Three Dog Night.

Three Dog Night had recorded this song for their 1970 album, “It Ain’t Easy“. When it looked like Elton might finally make it in the States with his own version of “Your Song,” Three Dog Night chose not to release it as a single in an effort to give this young upstart a chance to make it on his own.

Pretty incredible loyalty and faith from the guy’s in TDN. The song would have never been as popular as it became had Elton never recorded it.

Elton explained: “I think the reason it still stands up is because it was real at the time. That was exactly what I was feeling. I was 17 years old and it was coming from someone whose outlook on love or experience with love was totally new and naïve.

 

+Your Song lyrics below+

It’s a little bit funny this feeling inside
I’m not one of those who can easily hide
I don’t have much money but boy if I did
I’d buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it’s not much but it’s the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one’s for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they’ve got me quite cross
But the sun’s been quite kind while I wrote this song
It’s for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I’ve forgotten if they’re green or they’re blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world
