Elton's Song
1981 song by Elton John
"Elton's Song" is a song written by Elton John (music) and Tom Robinson (lyrics). Recorded between August 1979 and March 1980 and produced by John and Clive Franks, the song first appeared much later on the 1981 album The Fox.[1] The song is a rhapsodic ode with a theme of unrequited love.[2]
Though lyrically genderless, the video for the song depicts a schoolboy with a crush on an older boy;[3] Elton John telling Rolling Stone that it was "the first gay song that I actually recorded as a homosexual song."[4]
