LYRICS:
****
Met a dancer
Who was high in a field
From her movement
Caught my breath on my way home
Couldn’t stop that spinning force I felt in me,
Everything around seemed to giggle glee
She walked up with a flower and I cared
Found a dancer
Who gets wild to the beats
of the rhythm
But I’m always away for weeks that pass slow
My mind gets lost
Feeling envy for the kid who’ll dance despite anything
I walk out in the Flowers, and feel better
….If I could just leave my body for the night….
Then we could be dancing
There we could be dancing,
And you’d smile and say, “I like this song”
And when our eyes will meet there
We will recognize nothing’s wrong
And I wouldn’t feel so selfish
I won’t be this way very long
To hold you in time
To hold you in time
To hold you in time
To hold you in time
While we were dancing
Early hours
Drunken days finally ended
And the streets turned for a pillowcase
Then I fumbled our good lock
Then the ecstasy turns to rising light
Through our windowpane
Now I’m gone
I left flowers for you there
Duration : 0:5:22

I love this version of In the Flowers. It doesn’t pack the punch at 1:51 but I listen to this version more than MPP now. I just love the way the piano pushes through the organ(?) and then those two channels follow each other around melodically. If you want a completely different audio explosion in this song, google acollective2008-05-28.4061.flac16 and listen to track one.
Gah! Just listened to the MPP version again. Maybe it has the edge after all. Both epic IMO.

@johnowensjr1234 lmao seriously, they made 2 soley acoustic albums, and one of them still uses an electric guitar consistently in their music, the guy on far right can play piano, cello, drums and guitar. so yeah i too, would love to see them in a room full of acoustic instruments and mics, it would be great

God Panda’s voice is so primitively beautiful. It’s like it could be one of the beautiful voices in history but’s it is now, listening to this band is like looking at the most beautiful art, but better because you can hear it.
