David Ball sings unaccompanied.
"Your Song" is one of Elton John's most beloved and iconic tracks, often considered his breakthrough hit. It was released in 1970 on his self-titled second studio album. The song marked the beginning of a long and successful partnership between Elton John and his lyricist, Bernie Taupin.
Background:
1. Creation:
- The lyrics to "Your Song" were written by Bernie Taupin when he was just 17 years old. Taupin wrote the words quickly over breakfast at Elton John's mother's house, where he was staying at the time. The innocence and simplicity of the lyrics reflect Taupin's youthful perspective on love and romance.
- Elton John composed the music almost immediately after reading Taupin's lyrics. The melody was created at the piano, capturing the heartfelt and tender tone of the lyrics.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

Gospel song from Steve Stewart, sung by David Ball unaccompanied.
It was written by Canadian evangelical convert and pastor Steve Stewart, in 1980. It was included in Scripture in Song, Volume II, Songs of the Kingdom, published in New Zealand in 1981. At that time, it was listed as copyright Scripture in Song.
The song doesn't appear to have been recorded or published anywhere since then. But YouTube clearly shows that it is sung in a number of countries, and CCLI reports that it has been translated into Korean.
