I told my story and made his story lyrics movie#
Given a new lease of life after it was used as a focal point in Baz Luhrmann’s musical romance movie Moulin Rouge! in 2001, it also found its way to a John Lewis Christmas advert in 2018, reigniting interest (and sales) all over again.In the chorus, Future is rapping about a love interest crying over the phone, being mad at themselves because they are emotionally invested in him. The song has stood the test of time, growing in popularity in the years since its release.
Inspired by the simple arrangement of purely piano and vocals, Lennon’s own hit, Imagine, followed later the same year. “There was something about his vocals that was an improvement on all English vocals until then,” Lennon said. It also made a fan of ex-Beatle John Lennon, who became close to Elton following the song’s release. While the track didn’t make number one (it charted at number seven in the UK number 8 in the US) it did awaken UK audiences to the 70s’ biggest new rockstar. Your Song’s UK chart success can actually be traced back to an ultimatum made by Radio One breakfast show DJ Tony Blackburn, who promised to make the track record of the week, just so long as it was released on single. Determined to make his mark in his home country, John’s quest for a hit in the UK charts began, and Your Song was finally released as a single in January 1971. But in the UK, audiences were frustratingly slow to catch on. Pulling in sold-out crowds night after night, John and Taupin’s weekend in the city slowly morphed into a residency, which gradually became a tour.Įlton John’s songs – particularly the album’s opening trio of Your Song, Border Song and Take Me To The Pilot – became ubiquitous on US rock radio, and his US audiences only grew. John had been making headlines in the US thanks to a run of incendiary performances at legendary LA venue The Troubadour. Released in 1970 as one of the tracks on John’s self-titled debut, it wasn’t until a year later that the song took on a life of its own. “I remember writing it as I was having breakfast – the original lyric had tea stains on it” Bernie Taupin The subject who inspired the song was never revealed – even Elton himself claims not to know. I was 17 years old and it was coming from someone whose outlook on love or experience with love was totally new and naïve."
"But I think the reason it still stands up is because it was real at the time. "It's got to be one of the most naïve and childish lyrics in the entire repertoire of music," he told Music Connection in 1989. So he put down his idea of what it might be like on to paper. If the lyrics sound naive, it's because they were: Taupin was only 17 when he wrote them, and had never experienced romantic love – not really.
