Again, another great example of how a song from "your" generation is made relevant and resurfaces to someone from my generation. I saw Moulin Rouge in the theaters and remember loving it -- while a few other moviegoers actually walked out of the showing. I immediately had to find the songs (on Napster probably!) and listened to them over and over again. To this day, I associate this song with that movie. If you're not familiar with the Ewan McGregor version, the video's online: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xcihqj_moulin-rouge-your-song-ewan-mcgrego_musicMelissahttp://koskim.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171012458828071798.post-30822081631777471942010-12-12T21:43:44.914-05:002010-12-12T21:43:44.914-05:00No surprise -- I too am a closet "Your Song&q...No surprise -- I too am a closet "Your Song" fan. For several years I kept on buying Elton's records, waiting for the magic to hit a second time. It never did, though he churned out several plausible attempts (Rocket Man, if it hadn't been such a rip-off of Space Oddity; Daniel, which turned saccharine with repeated plays; and just possibly Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters or We All Fall in Love Sometimes). I suspect Your Song wins out because -- like you -- I heard it at the right time in my life; it was also early enough that he was still curbing his fatal weakness for bombast. This track still brings back the person I was then with a heady rush. Thanks for paying it tribute!Holly A Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828633442418722187noreply@blogger.com
