Dozing Over Daisies

Lionel Boy “Flower Girl”

“Flower Girl” feels very relaxed but not exactly untroubled, though the tensions and concerns aren’t being deliberately buried in a pleasant haze. It’s more like a state of equilibrium, and the lyrics invite someone – the “flower girl” – into this mindset, as though this is a vibe that can potentially be shared. It’s a warm and generous both musically and lyrically, as though Lionel Boy is just doing their best to bring people – not just the flower girl, but like, especially the flower girl – into this peaceful easy feeling. The guitar and keyboards set a lovely ambiance but the most effective part of the song is most definitely the bass, which thumps gently as if to subtly encourage you to match your heart rate to this tempo.
