Do You Like Flowers? (Seeds, Part 2)

If so, then you might enjoy this song I wrote for the Radioactives (and recorded in demo form):

I Like Flowers

Do you know the Teddy Pendergrass song, Get Up, Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose? The vibe of the music is lighthearted, but if you listen closely to the words, they’re deadly serious. 

What is Teddy deadly serious about? Partying. He is singing this song for a purpose, and this purpose is to let you know in no uncertain terms that he is here to party, and he is going to party come hell or high water, and if you are in Teddy’s general vicinity you had better get down to business and start partying too. (Threats are never specifically issued but, I believe, are implied.)

So I wondered: what if a Teddy-like funkster sang with equal seriousness about their passion for the delicate, many-splendored beauty of flowers? 

Please note that I wrote this song for Will Hammond, Jr. to sing, but this is me singing on the demo, and I am not half the singer that Will is. I am just trying to point the way for him. Someday I hope you’ll get to hear it the way it’s meant to be, but I got impatient and wanted to share it with you. 

I hope you like it as much as I like flowers.
