Your Song by Elton John: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

"Your Song" by Elton John features a beautiful piano melody played by Elton himself, with lyrics by Bernie Taupin. The song was released in 1970 on Elton John's self-titled second album. Guitarist Caleb Quaye provided the acoustic guitar accompaniment, adding a delicate touch to the ballad. The song's simple yet poignant lyrics and timeless melody have made it a classic in Elton John's discography.
