He started playing improvisational piano in bars at the age of 14 in England, and joined a band at 16. He met lyricist Bernie Taupin at age 19 when they began songwriting together and he began recording in studios until Your Song caught media attention, and remains one of his most popular songs to date.

What is the story behind someone saved my life tonight. by Elton John?

The story behind the song is directly related to Elton John's personal life. Shortly before his career took off, Elton was engaged to woman whom he wasn't truly in love with. In addition to this, Elton was being forced to give up his music career in order to marry this women. The pressure eventually got to him and one night Elton turned on the gas stove/oven in the kitchen and stuck his head into it, hoping that it would eventually kill him. The only problem was that there was a window open in kitchen allowing the gas to escape thus not causing any problems at all. I believe, Bernie Taupin was the one who found Elton and pulled him out of the stove. However, the "someone" referred to in the song, I believe, is Long John Baldry, who convinced Elton not to get married and focus on his music career. Let's just say that it was the best decision ever made because if Elton was successful in his suicide attempt, we wouldn't have all of his great songs that we have today."It's 4 o'clock in the morning, damn it, listen to me good, I'm sleeping with myself tonight, saved in time, thank god my music's still alive..."
