about

Dedicating this song to the unlikely couples in loving life relationships!

We survived winter, emerging into spring.

This is a love story between a daisy and a dandelion.
Unmatched as they seem, they hooked up beneath the snow.

Jeremy plays left hand Moog bass, right hand Prophet 6 and Mellotron, joined by Cyprien's Mandinka-influenced guitar, and Spahni’s polyrhythmic drums. Most parts were recorded simultaneously as a trio, with all singing.

Priska provided the art, the inspiration, and the background vocals. :)

lyrics

She was just a daisy in a daisy chain
Soaking in the sunshine, drinking up the rain
She was not born to follow, she was not called to lead 
She dug her roots into the soil, she bloomed and went to seed

I wanna go with you I wanna grow with you 
Cheek to cheek and toe to toe
I wanna go with you I wanna grow with you
Beneath the winter snow

He was just a dandelion in a dandy's suit 
His appetites were shallow, that’s not to say his roots
She knew him by his flower, she lost him to the wind
But they curled up beneath the soil to begin again

I wanna go with you I wanna grow with you 
Cheek to cheek and toe to toe
I wanna go with you I wanna grow with you
Beneath the winter snow
