It’s been a great thrill to reconnect with Bernie Taupin again and to write a brand new song together after all these years. Bernie sent me a stunning new lyric called “Fire from Dragons”, and I’d like to share with you the finished home demo of the song I’ve just recorded. Bernie mentioned to me that this was an especially important lyric to him.
I feel it’s an extremely relevant lyric for the times in which we find ourselves. I got shivers when I received the lyric upfront - it reminded me of how special Bernie’s vision is and how we used to work together in the past… it’s always been a kind of magic. I’m happy to say Bernie loved my demo and said I’d done the song great justice; I’d like to share it with you all today. - Martin.
