Little White Flowers

Little white flowers, on the hillside
Little white flowers they won’t last
They’ll disappear, just like you did, darlin’
Little white flowers they won’t last

Everything has a season
Why should love be any different
Don’t go looking for a reason
Nothing lasts forever, no, no, no

Little white flowers, she wore them in her hair
Big brown eyes were open wide
Little white lies, how they multiply
In the end there’s nowhere left to hide

Everything has a season
Why should love be any different
Don’t go looking for a reason
Nothing lasts forever, no, no, no

Little black dress, high heels and diamond earrings
Still got that picture in my mind
Such a mess, don’t see how to mend it
Wish I could hit stop and rewind

Everything has a season
Nothing stays the same
May as well try to stop the winter
From coming ‘round again, wo-oo-oo

Little white flowers, on the hillside
Little white flowers they won’t last
Disappear, like breath upon a window
Little white flowers they won’t last

A very nice song and a great collab.
There's no banjo listed but I think I hear one and really like it whatever it is.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Peter and all:

Cool folksy bluegrass type song. Really like the lyrics here and Janice’s vocals give the chorus the perfect pop it needs. Catchy as well. Like the use of the accordion here—nice touch. Well done, all!

Kind regards,

Oh, man. You know how you can read the album jacket and know right away that you're gonna love what's in it? You, Janice and Leon. Seriously super sounds. I really like the slide. Super write and feel, and those harmonies are so aurally satisfying and tight. Excellent choice on bringing in the second drum track. Suc a treat from start to finish. Well done, Peter, Leon, Janice and Bud.


Enjoy whatever happens!

When Leon, Peter, Janice, and Bud get together I know that I am about to hear some fantastic ear candy.

A real catchy hook.
The perfect vocal, harmony, and lead guitar.
The backing band and mix was perfect.
Loved it.

Janice fits with Leon REALLY well. A touch of sweetner to his slight alkaline tonality.
Very cool song and a wonderful mix.

Very creative hook using a tender, short-lived flower as an analogy to love. The lead vocals and melody fit the mood very well. Great job, as usual, by Janice! Also, the guitar hook made the song that much more interesting. Great collaboration.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
