98. Your Song – Ellie Goulding (2010)


Like most of the population we first came across Ellie Goulding’s version of Elton John’s ‘Your Song’ on a John Lewis advert in the middle of the X factor ‘Elton John’ night, but unlike the X factor versions of some of Elton’s numbers this was clearly destined to be a number one which happened within a couple of weeks.

I have to admit that I have never been much of a fan of Elton John, but this song goes to show that sometimes another artiste can take a well-known song and do it again, make it different and sometimes make it better.  I often find that with cover versions I look to and find the original more inspirational but this song the reverse is true.

I like Elton’s version of this song but I truly LOVE this version and it rightly deserves to be played and enjoyed by all….

Now listen to the song….
