Cherry BlossomsThe Horrible Crowes60rank/position

The Horrible Crowes – Cherry Blossoms (Official Audio)

The Horrible Crowes is a project started in 2011 by Brian Fallon and Ian Perkins of The Gaslight Anthem.

This piece is included on their album Elsie, released the same year.

While the cherry blossoms in the title might make you imagine the cheerfulness of spring, this is actually a song that suits a nighttime drive or a quiet bar, with a clear blues influence.

The lyrics dwell on attachment to things that are fading and on heartache, and the raspy vocals cut deep.

Rather than flashy shifts, the arrangement invites you to listen closely—perfect for solitary reflection while gazing up at cherry blossoms at night.

A live release came out in 2013, too, offering a different kind of appeal from the studio version that fans will find irresistible.
