about

The lead single from 'New Thing,' the debut album by Avery Friedman.

“The opening melody for “Flowers Fell” came to me on a headphone-less walk home one night down Greene Avenue in Brooklyn. I had noticed that the flowers that once lined the branches had been replaced by leaves -- seemingly in the blink of an eye. I was briefly disappointed until I considered that the petals had made way for something more sustainable – and equally full of life.

The song became a meditation on the concept of place – how things of our surroundings like ‘sidewalks,’ and ‘balconies’ and ‘trees,’ can act as fixed backdrops upon which we measure our personal evolutions (and the evolutions of our relationships) across the span of many seasons.” – Avery Friedman

lyrics

(Green, green, green)


The flowers fell off when I was asleep
But it’s okay, ‘cause now it’s all green
The flowers fell off when I was asleep
But it’s okay, ‘cause now it’s all green,

Greene
Avenue
footsteps sound the same
And you
we’re looking down at your shoes
And we
couldn’t stop kissing
On the roof
sidewalks, photo booths


The flowers fell off when I was asleep
But it’s okay, ‘cause now it’s all green
The flowers fell off when I was asleep
But it’s okay, ‘cause now it’s all green (green)


And these trees
mark 12 seasons passed
With this view
Last summer balcony
Knee to knee
Grocery list on your phone
But I don’t
sit next to you no more (no more)


The flowers fell off when I was asleep
But it’s okay, ‘cause now it’s all green
The flowers fell off when I was asleep
But it’s okay, ‘cause now it’s all green (green)
