Pre-order LP/CD/CS: smarturl.it/FloristIBCBH
Lyrics:
Yellow light on the wall
I can close my eyes and return
to the home I remember in a blur
of sights and smells and sounds of old
But it’s not what I wanted to hold
when I learned that I would have something of my own
What is love if not Violet,
a beam of light on an Autumn afternoon
that slowly fades to Blue
I have always wanted you
When the summer goes long and the water stays warm
I remember the faces of everyone I’ve loved
and the places I have lived
and the places I have visited
You’re alive and I’m alive
You’re a dream that I had when I was young
I’m alive and I’m okay
the air is Light Blue today
I want a place where I can stay warm
deep inside my body of this earth
and a mouth that says soft thing
or just breathes in my ear
and a heart I can speak back to for no one else to hear

I just heard this on the radio driving home from a long day at work today. It was raining and I was flipping through the stations and found this. I immediately had to find it, I had to remember the lyrics and I was so focused on finding the artist just so I can hear more. Lovely

[@MNDCTRL1]

a lot of florist's music triggers a memory that i can never truly identify. a nostalgic, dreamy-esque, memory that is at the tip of my tongue - yet never reachable. i don't know if it's comfort or curiosity but i seem to always be returning to their music. the coziness is too appealing

[@ameerguitar145]

a yes dude yes

[@ChunkyBunny2]

Oh my god this is literally how I feel.

[@jrobear10]

Most relatable comment of all time wtf

[@ellystern6]

[@dhruvgolani7608]

Each song in this album takes you deeper in contemplation but with like a warm blanket over you.

[@ellystern6]

this song is the feeling of a summer evening when the sun starts setting. ~~~..'O~~~ i was listening to this while lying in the grass looking up at the summer sunset sky and smokin a joint and i felt like i understood what every single line in this song feels like ~~o
