Flower songs in Western music: World-famous and popular songs (61–70)

Matchbook Romance – “Tiger Lily”

Matchbook Romance is an emotional hardcore band from New York.

Just as they were being hailed as a next-generation act, they unfortunately disbanded in 2007, though they later reunited temporarily.

Amid the intensity, they deliver a barrage of poignant phrases.

Many fans are surely hoping for a full comeback.

A track from his first solo album, not under Aztec Camera.

While retaining the warm acoustic sound of the Aztec era, Roddy’s free-spirited sensibility shines through.

A perfect song to listen to quietly on a solitary night.

The Cult, who were saddled with the somewhat unflattering, awkward label of a “positive punk band,” reportedly angered fans.

They later shifted to a hard rock style, but the coolness of their sound still feels fresh today.

La vie en roseLouis Armstrong

La Vie en rose was originally one of the signature songs of Édith Piaf, the queen of French chanson.

Louis Armstrong—the giant of jazz trumpet and vocals affectionately known as Satchmo—covered it, and his version also became one of his signature songs.

In Japanese, the song is known as “Barairo no Jinsei” (A Rose-Colored Life).

You Don’t Bring Me FlowersBarbra Streisand & Neil Diamond

Barbra Streisand Neil Diamond – You Don’t Bring Me Flowers
You Don’t Bring Me FlowersBarbra Streisand & Neil Diamond

It was originally a track included on a Neil Diamond album, but was later released as a song on Barbra’s album.

It’s a song filled with the sadness and loneliness of two lovers who once loved each other passionately, but whose hearts have now grown apart.

In conclusion

This time, I put together a selection of Western songs with a flower theme.

Even though we just say “flowers,” the musical styles of the tracks varied widely.

That said, there were a ton of songs about roses (lol).

In Japan and abroad, roses really are the classic flower.

On Rug Music, we introduce Western songs built around a variety of themes like this.
