About From The Ashes

This was another song written in the recording studio, about one of Laurie's most cherished friends, who had come back from the worst things life can throw at you, including surviving cancer twice, and experiencing his house and all his possessions burning to the ground. Like the phoenix, he had come back to fly up "from the ashes" with incredible strength and courage.

It's also a stylistic tribute to one of Laurie's biggest influences, Elton John.
