In a blog post, dated November 30, 2018, Taupin corrected a prevalent falsehood around the song’s origins. “ ’Your Song’ could only have been written by a 17-year-old who’d never been laid in his life.” “The early were not drawn from experience but imagination,” Taupin once said. He was sharing a bunk bed at John’s mother’s apartment in Northwood Hills, an area in the north-west of London, and the song came down like a bolt of lightning. Then 17-years-old, lyricist Bernie Taupin scribbled down the stark, simple and poetic words one morning in 1969. “Your Song,” which Elton John recorded for 1970’s self-titled sophomore record, appeared on an otherwise normal morning at the breakfast table. There is always a time and a place for great songs to appear.
