    "comment": "Going out to Josh in Redmond!\n\n'Madman Across the Water' was Elton John's 4th studio album, released right as he was beginning to rise to prominence.\n\nTiny Dancer's lyrics were written by Bernie Taupin and music by Elton John. Taupin in an interview with Rolling Stone clarified the meaning of the song.\n\n“We came to California in the fall of 1970 and it seemed like sunshine just radiated from the populace,” Taupin says. “I guess I was trying to capture the spirit of that time, encapsulated by the women we met, especially at the clothes stores and restaurants and bars all up and down the Sunset Strip. They were these free spirits, sexy, all hip-huggers and lacy blouses, very ethereal the way they moved.”\n\nRead the full story here:\nhttps://americansongwriter.com/behind-song-tiny-dancer-elton-john/",
