George Ezra Budapest Music
by George Ezra

"Budapest" is a song performed by British singer and songwriter George Ezra. Speaking with the British tabloid newspaper The Sun, Ezra explained into detail how the song came about. According to him, while journeying to the Hungarian capital city of Budapest during a backpacking adventure in 2013, he took a stop in Malmö in Sweden – from where he was to catch a train to the capital of Hungary on the following day. However, he partied so hard and got so drunk that night that he missed his train to the Hungarian city. He later went on to write a song about being several miles away from the Hungarian capital – a song which ended up becoming the renowned "Budapest". According to Ezra, the Hungarian capital was the only place he planned visiting during his trip that he unfortunately couldn't make it to. This means that at the time Ezra wrote the song, he had still not had the opportunity to visit Hungary's capital.

My friends and family
They, don't understand
They fear they'd lose so much
If you take my hand.
