SONG OF THE DAY
Day #7
I am being flattened by a cold, which means I'm feeling sappy, so today's pick is Flowers by Australian artist Jordan Rakei. Opening his 2024 album The Loop, Flowers is a track that shimmers and twists with love. The ballad shares a grand romance through its sweeping strings and stunning vocals. It's tooth-achingly sweet as Rakei states the song is “…an homage to the journey of my first love, the patience it requires, and the pivotal moment I met my wife,” (Clash, 2023). The song leads you in with a gentle beat, curves with guitar, and then unravels into the chorus with violin, cello, and vocals overflowing with adoration. It is a beautiful track.
“All my life I waited to fill my days with your hours
'Cause time in a world that's ours
Felt worth it to plant all the flowers”
