The Timelessness of Elton John’s “Your Song”

Elton John Your Song Elton John‘s first hit, “Your Song,” has remained one of his most timeless since it first scaled the charts in 1970. Songwriter Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics when he was only 17, but it could have been a hit in any decade.

John has played the song in concert thousands of times since it led off his self-titled second album in 1970, and I have heard it almost as many. Check out this video montage of John singing the song through the years.
