Songs About Flowers – Friday Five
Song 1: “Flowers In December” by Mazzy Star
“Send me your flowers of your December.
Send me your dreams of your candy wine.
I got just one thing I can’t give you.
Just one more thing of mine.”
Song 2: “Roses Grow” by Concrete Blonde
“Up through the cracks,
up through the broken glass,
in the hot red light of a black and white –
Roses grow.”
Song 3: “Roses” by Pete Yorn
“It’s the roses in the water.
It’s the highlight of your night.
When the jasmine bloomed on Sunset Boulevard,
and we fell in love for the first time.”
Song 4: “All Flowers In Time Bend Toward the Sun” by Jeff Buckley and Elizabeth Fraser
“All flowers in time,
bend towards the sun.
I know you say that there’s no one for you,
but here is one.”
Song 5: “Faded Flowers” by Shriekback
“These eyes are blind.
This is a pure thing.
These hands I kiss.
Tragic as anything.
These eyes are blind.
This is a pure thing.
All splash and hiss.
Beyond my measuring.”
What happened to this Ben Lee song, “Daisy,” you introduced me to, back then,? ps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q6nh5tXCJ0
It is definitely one of my favorites. Always. I love that song. I could have gone on to 10 songs. 20. A playlist full.
