Songs That Remind You Of Members

@James


The lyrics were written by Bernie Taupin and is his take on New York City after hearing a gun go off near his hotel window during his first visit to the city. The song's lyrics were partly inspired by Ben E. Kings "Spanish Harlem.” in which he sings "There is a rose in Spanish Harlem." In response to this, Taupin writes, “And now I know Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say I thought I knew, but now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City.”

Beautiful song, beautiful guy. Thank you.
