We All Fall in Love Sometimes ( German “We all fall in love sometimes”) is a song by the British singer and composer Elton John , the lyrics were written by Bernie Taupin .
The album `` Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy '' was realized as a concept album and takes up in chronological order as well as with autobiographical intention John and Taupin's life in London from 1967 to 1970. "We All Fall in Love Sometimes" is the ninth of ten songs. The conceptual plot is continued and concluded with the title Curtains .
background
The joint efforts of John and Taupin to realize their idea of music welded them together ("Aching legs that often told us it's all worth it"). Slowly but surely they gained a foothold in the world of artists and perceived the changes without being able to classify them (“Something happened it's so strange this feeling” - “Something happened, this feeling is so strange”).
In a later interview, John highlighted his soulmate with Taupin, which was so important to him. He remembered their naivety at the time (“Naive notions that were childish”), which also became part of the simple tunes (“Simple tunes that tried to hide it” - “Simple melodies who tried to hide it ”).
In his book "Elton John", Philip Norman describes the lyrics of this song as a discreet acknowledgment of the brotherhood in their shared apartment in the East End of London.
In retrospect, John and Taupin saw themselves with a number of losers ("Running with the losers for a while"). But because they mastered their lives with humor (“Painting worried faces with a smile”), their empty sky was filled with laughter (“But our Empty Sky was filled with laughter”).
