Elton John - Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny) Meaning
Song Released: 1982
Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny) Lyrics
As the New York sunset disappeared
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there
Who lived here
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tares and grew a good crop
And now it all...
-
I like the connection to Ms. Farrow and I also liked Elton's ability to call an insect an insect. But, I think the line, "Now nothing grows no more" is inaccurate, because there was a GREAT DEAL of growth after Lennon died. Elton's song was a big part of that growth, as was the fact that John Lennon is constantly quoted, by everyone who believes in peace and liberty.
-
The insect is Mark David Chapman.
-
This song is about the death of John Lennon.
-
It's about John Lennon after he was murdered, the isect is the killer and the grain is John. John was a devoted gardener in life.
