  • First Episode at Hienton is a song by Elton John with lyrics written by Bernie Taupin. It is the fifth track off his self-titled album, released in 1970. The song tells the story of a man and a girl named Valerie who had an affair at either a hotel or an inn, and how they grew apart from each other; "The songs still are sung, it was fun to be young, I am who I am, you are who you are, Now Valerie's a woman". The musical structure is, like many of the other songs on the album, basically Elton and the piano with the guidance of Paul Buckmaster and his orchestration. The song also features a moog synthesizer-solo, which is played by Diana Lewis. In a 1973 interview, John said of the song: I like writing songs like “First Episode at Hienton”, which really doesn’t have any shape or form, it just meandered with a general feel of wistfullness. This song was also one of John/Taupin's early compositions, being performed as early as 1968.
  • First Episode at Hienton è una canzone composta e cantata da Elton John. Il testo è di Bernie Taupin. Proviene dall'omonimo album Elton John. È una delle prime canzoni mai composte dal duo; il testo di Taupin parla del complesso rapporto tra un uomo e una ragazza chiamata Valerie, forse il resoconto di una esperienza adolescenziale di Bernie stesso. Mette in evidenza l'onnipresente pianoforte di Elton, che conduce la melodia, e anche l'onnipresente orchestra che si esibisce in tutto l'album. I laboriosi arrangiamenti sono di Paul Buckmaster. Nella canzone è presente anche il sintetizzatore Moog, suonato da Diana Lewis. Come tutto l'album di provenienza, la canzone è stata notata da buona parte della critica.
