“This song was going to be part of an album I was writing in 2021 during the last lockdown called “Flowers of Existence” where I was essentially looking for reasons to stay optimistic during a bleak time. I see art and genuine human connection as the “Flowers of Existence” that we can all embrace, if we let ourselves be aware of it. I was sick of brooding and complaining in my songs. I wanted introspection through trials and tribulations, but a sincere and clear way forward in each song's message.

The whole premise of the song is to embrace every cliche of positivity you can find in front of you. For me it was while I was walking through a park with cops confronting people for sitting down and not doing strenuous exercise. But in the same view there were kids playing around in the sun as if nothing was wrong.”

You better breathe in, as the flowers bloom.

lyrics

I clean my room, I sort my pad
It’s just what you’d expect, yeah it’s sad
This sort of life ain’t worth my time

I’m feeling happy I’m feeling sad
The ups and downs of unknown land
Embrace it all when you can

No no, you’re thinking 'bout the dark times
Because star shine, the earth greets you with an open sign

Things will change but nothing bad,
Connections will improve and I’m glad
As flowers bloom
As lungs expand

And that spark is happening again
That thing outside yourself and she said
“My solitude I'lltrade for you.”

No no, you’re thinking bout the dark times
Because star shine, the earth greets you with an open sign
