What were some important events in Elton Johns life?
Listen to the song, "Someone Saved My Life Tonight". One of the most influential events in Elton's life was when he was debating suicide during the late 60's before he became famous. In 1969, Elton was engaged to a woman named, Linda Woodrow, however Elton was having second thoughts about the marriage. One night in 1969, Elton turned on the gas stove in the apartment that he shared with his songwriter, Bernie Taupin. Once the stove was on, Elton put his head into the stove. Taupin found Elton in the kitchen and subsequently pulled him out. The reason why Elton was unsuccessful in his suicide was because the window in the kitchen was open thus allowing the gas to escape, so essentially, Elton was just lying in the stove hoping that it would eventually kill him. As a result of this, he relied a lot on his friends in order to keep him on the right path. Long John Baldry convinced Elton to cancel the marriage in order to keep his music career alive, and boy was that the best decision he has ever made. Going back to the song "Someone Saved My Life Tonight", that "someone" is Long John Baldry. Just think, if Elton's suicide attempt was successful, then we wouldn't have any of his wonderful songs available to us today.

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..."
