Peter Murphy & Boy George- Let The Flowers Grow

[@blacksunrise1349]

The spirit of bowie was there when they recorded this song...

[@aliciap.1630]

Agree ❤

[@michellehalley7672]

Totally agree ❤❤

[@souloutofbody]

I thought the same as soon as I listened to this song

[@twistoffate4791]

Absolutely agree.

[@nairbear5220]

As a gay man and an original goth who waited to be up front with my hands on the stage to see Peter - my romantic hero back in the day, this song is the perfect pairing of bittersweet nostalgia and triumph over bigotry that I never thought possible in 1987. Veiled Roses and glitter to you both, Peter and Boy. Thank you.

[@chadcrigger3101]

It reminds me when 2 of my favorite bands colab together, pet shop boys and new order. The vibe is different but like you I Love Peter Murphy and Culture Club was a huge part of my life . I saw Boy George in New York at the Tunnel Bar and it was probably one of the best concerts I have been too. Out of curiosity who would you like to see do a colab?

[@dechardy3093]

probably more bigotry now....1987 was a beautiful year.

[@jaysondelara2487]

My 80s and gothic heart is so full and happy for this collaboration. Bravo!!!

[@htownjesse]

As is mine! Absolutely gorgeous‼️

[@angelajackson7428]

There is a David Bowie sound to it. Very nice, 2 very talented singers.

[@maryjanesinkansas9287]

I concur!

[@Afireinside912]

It made me not like it. Felt very unoriginal.

[@henbane2247]

David Bowie-esque vocals. I guess Pete Murphy has always been inspired by David Bowie though

[@jamescullinane71]

I thought exactly the same. I really like this 🙂🙃😄😁

[@barrydaly7174]

I think George and Pete would be the first to acknowledge that. It's a homage and a bloody worthy one too.

[@jocejoce7638]

This would have totally been a hit in the 1980s. Can it be a hit in 2024?

[@nikashby6363]

Keep sharing and streaming ....... it's in the hands of the people and listeners

[@jbailos]

I think no, this song is not regaeton so many people won´t like it if they would hear it. I think it´s beautiful.

[@natasabobinec9413]

It's up to us..let's make it a hit...keep on streaming

[@maureenwagg5305]

Everyone who is still alive from the 80's will love this and it just might hit with millenials too.

[@andrewanniwell4091]

I hope so...george deserves another go xx

Culture Club and Bauhaus are the collab I never thought I needed.

[@mattpigram]

but its just awesome

[@sherrimollett1076]

Love❤️

[@Harteo3917]

Oh they always ran in the same circle because of the new romantic movement from the late 70s some of them even worked at the same club together. Like the blitz then called hells, boy george worked as the coat room attendant until he got fired lol. Then there was The Roxy or Roxi, Billy's, Croc's in Rayleigh, Essex, and The Regency in Chadwell Heath, where Depeche Mode and Culture Club had their debut gigs. There was lots of art school based movements going on back in the day.

[@andrewanniwell4091]

It must have been fabulous ​@@Harteo3917

Peter, Boy, and Youth had to grace the world with this because we no longer have David Bowie. This was needed. And I didn't quite realize how much.

[@joylindadichamounix]

The PSB & Soft Cell release a song called The Purple Zone. It was great too.

My father passed away on nearly 2 months ago. I forwarded this video to his last woman and life companion and I broke down crying. I don't know why. I guess it had to get out of me. Thank you Peter and Boy for making my own tears fall to your beautiful notes and voices! Still crying, but oh how I am thanking you for this! While being over half a century old, I feel like a child, a comforted child, again.

"Let The Flowers Grow" I gave my soul To the things that you admired I caught it As it came through Let you be my saviour Kept it to give you back Back-to-back With you And the heartbeat of the city In the shadows I made my home I've been changing And mamma don't know Let her tears fall And make the flowers grow I am changing And daddy can see His reflection In the mirror of me Should I regret These dangerous feeling But I was born To feel alone Without your love I'm just a stranger A wilful child You can't control And the heartbeat of the city In the shadows I made my home I've been changing And mamma don't know Let her tears fall And make the flowers grow I am changing And daddy can see His reflection In the mirror of me Back-to-back With the spirit holy Imitated you for you to be I've been changing And mamma don't know Let her tears fall And make the flowers grow I am changing And daddy can see His reflection In the mirror of me

[@malgorzatapilot9381]

It’s not easy to take someone else’s song and make it your own, but here we see something that only a truly great Artist could do. Peter Murphy shares the song of Boy George and makes it his own without taking it over. We hear one song, but there are two. Boy George’s song is a beautiful, uplifting song about personal acceptance. Peter Murphy’s song is hidden a layer below. It’s enchanting and shatteringly sad, if you pay attention to what he is singing. It’s about a great personal price of becoming and being an Artist. I’m truly grateful to Boy George for this song and to Peter Murphy for all his songs, and for Bauhaus.
