Bernie Taupin has been Elton’s lyrical soulmate since the late 1960s. Bernie writes the words, Elton writes the melodies — that’s their whole system. It’s kind of wild because they rarely write in the same room; Bernie sends lyrics, and Elton sits at the piano until the music clicks. This method gave the world classics like “Candle in the Wind,” “Daniel,” and “Bennie and the Jets.” They’ve argued, drifted apart, and reconnected over the decades, like old friends do. But creatively, the spark never died. Their bond is one of the most successful partnerships in music history.
