Every Christmas I make my bird a CD, and each time it's ended with a version of 'Your Song'. I've had a couple of the original Elton John versions, also Elle Goulding and Ewan McGregor. But this year I'm drawing a blank.

I've found a version by a chap called Cameron Mitchell on youtube, but I can't find anywhere legitimate to download it from (and I don't want to risk a virus downloading it from anywhere dodgy).

Any suggestions, either where to download it from or for another version?

Another way of doing it is with a free program called Audacity. As long as your computer allows it, my recent Sony laptop doesn't, but my older HP desktop does. It's a question of whether you can send the output straight to the program.

But assuming your computer does allow it, you can then use it to edit the file and remove bits you don't want, also change the level if necessary.

The sound can be very good.

So its OK for you to download illegally yet chastise others for doing the same in another thread? hehe

YouTube will promptly remove copyright material if it's brought to their attention, if people allow their stuff to remain on YT then it's reasonable to assume that they don't mind people watching/listening to it as often as they like.

Well yes, because no where has it for sale. More than happy to buy it, my original post stated I was looking for somewhere legitimate to download it from.
