This week on Sad Song Queens, we’re joined by legendary lyricist Bernie Taupin to dive into his new song, “The Sea Has No Mercy,” and the stories, fears, and life experiences behind it. Bernie opens up about the different perspectives that come with getting older, his admiration for Olivia Rodrigo, his iconic songwriting partnership with Elton John, and more! Grab your tissues and join Laura and Lindsay for a conversation with one of the greatest lyricists of all time, Bernie Taupin!
