Flora and Trauma

Like music, flowers bring happiness, but can also mark times of grief and loss. For as long as people have been writing songs, they’ve been using flowers as metaphors, props and symbols for life, love and death.

Flowers in music often represent a romance, regardless of whether that romance is blossoming or wilting away. Songs about  buttercups, daisies, tulips and other song blossoms abound.

There are more songs about roses than any other flower, with around 62% of all ‘flower’ songs based around roses. You’ll hear the Jaguar-sponsored Desert Rose from Sting and Seal’s three times Grammy-winning ‘Kiss From a Rose’. Whether as garlands or wreaths, flowers have inspired great music.

Published by Roy Stannard

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
