Still Flowers Growin'

about

This is a song I'm SUPER proud of in so many ways. This labor of love started out of a tiny room in Nashville where I played my Nashville Producer, Aaron Hayes, a new song I had recently written. Fast forward a month later, we found ourselves in a world famous Los Angeles recording studio (Guns N’ Roses, No Doubt, Black Sabbath, Van Morrison, etc) where I had some of my musician friends from Nashville come in to lay down acoustic & electric guitars (heck even Nashville Strung guitar), live drums, keys and even a vintage B3 Hammond organ. Spending a few days of studio time at this world renowned music studio was unforgettable and my friend and amazing sound engineer (Steve) provided us access to so many amazing vintage microphones and instruments. We recorded my lead vocals for this song on a vintage TELEFUNKEN C12 with the original brass capsule. {{It's not often you get to record vocals on a microphone worth tens of thousands of dollars.)) We also had a blast laying down multiple different types of uncommon guitars (Fender Thinline Telecaster, Gretsch Country Gentleman, Rickenbacker 360/12, PRS Baritone, and more) for different parts of the song and incorporated a beautiful antique vintage Hammond B3 Organ as well.

Listening to the final mix, I was reminded of the wide array of individuals who contributed to this track-- from an amazing producer who helped me realize my vision, the wonderful Nashville musicians who laid down their beautiful talents for this song, and even a talented Nashville singer who laid down beautiful BGVs. Grateful to all the individuals who contributed to making this song with the utmost excellence. I hope you love it as much as I do.

lyrics

I know that I've been neglecting my soul
And it's hard enough giving up control
I know that I'm afflicted but I know that I'm consoled
But how long will I wander this road

To escape the burning weight
Of all the things that came before
I tried to stay between the lanes
But found the doors were always closed
But mama always said
Don't you forget
That there are still flowers growin'

I've learned to turn my minor chords to joy
And it's hard enough not giving up your soul
Some things you let go and some things you outgrow
And sometimes there are things that you'll never know
To еscape the burning weight
Of all thе things that came before
I tried to stay between the lanes
But found the doors were always closed
But mama always said
Don't you forget
That there are still flowers growin'
That there are still flowers growin'

To escape the burning weight
Of all the things that came before
I tried to stay between the lanes
But found the doors were always closed
But mama always said
Don't you forget
That there are still flowers growin'

To escape the burning weight
Of all the things that came before
I tried to stay between the lanes
But found the doors were always closed
But mama always said
Don't you forget
That there are still flowers growin'
That there are still flowers growin'
That there are still flowers growin''
