Many of you know Elton John and one of his songs entitled, "Your Song". It was and his a wonderful song, and there are a few different versions of it which put their own spin on the song, but are still just as amazing, in their own way. So with this said, here's an evolution of "Your Song", provided by yours truly. Enjoy!
Original Epic Version (Elton John)
Epic Version (Moulan Rouge)
Simply Epic Version (Ellie Goulding)
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

A great fun post Jasmin, I agree such a contrast in interpretation. I’m a great fan of the original but there's something wonderfully naïve about Ellie Goulding’s version which I’d not heard before.
Such an Awesome Classic!!!! Now I feel like I should order the last artists version from amazon Jas. and yes, I'm still buying music...LOL!!!!
I must agree that I enjoyed comparing the differences in interpretation.
I love the Ellie goulding version --- it's actually a theme for an advert here. However, the elton version always brings a lump to my throat after it was used at a university mate of mines funeral. He died too young and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. I never play this on a bad day
Dan: Glad to show something new :)
Kimmie: omg i thought you were over that habit!! i can just rip it from youtube for youuuu
Linda: Glad you enjoyed the comparing :D
Ali: the Ellie Goulding version is amazing :) I saw the advert on youtube haha
sorry to hear about your friend : / i can see how it would hit you hard
I'm sorry to hear about your friend also, Ali. :(
Jasmin, I loved the opportunity to compare the versions and almost did this for a different song in past. Great post! :)
Wait, you can rip music from youtube? omg, now I know who to grovel up to... ;)
*I need a few to be snatched that I've now purchased twice, (once through itunes, then again through Amazon)that refuse to attach to my videos....
