no lights on the radar screen
from your hearts trying to not been seen
with your sad machine
you shoot to kill
cease?, chance? to meet you are
that loved of the street sweet heart
involved peace keep us at yours calembour
screws? through the sky
you are another ghost rocket
i know who you are
this in disguise
you are another ghost rocket
i know who you are
wings, he take no wings not at all
for a bomb or an angel to fall
you decide to deny this beautiful lights
screws through the sky
you are another ghost rocket
i know who you are
this in disguise
you are another ghost rocket
i know who you are
i know who you are
you are another ghost
i know who you are
you are another ghost rocket
i know who you are
you are another ghost rocket

I feel like I SHOULD like this, but it just never "lands" for me - a clear "6" for now.

Sounds so dated now.

10 years ago, this kind of sound seemed to make a resurgence.
The Banjo. Oh Yay, the Banjo ... and boy, did The Banjo catch on for a while. 
The Banjo and the Drum and ... fun for a while.

But the reality is, the Banjo isn't that suited - the song would sound massively better with an acoustic guitar. 



No way, no guitar. Yet another singer/songwriter

Wow rocking song

One of my precious concert moments is Blaudzun playing in a small tent packed with people. Outside, the rain was pouring down. It felt like hugging around a musical bonfire.

Admittedly, "Heavy Flowers" is not their greatest work. Try the album "Seadrift Soundmachine" instead!

That applies to most music, given that most musicians are of average or below musicianship. SFW?

Sometimes I really do think you're just jackin' with us, Bill.  Intentionally bad tunes just to pull our collective chains.  Sucko-barfo mos' def'.

 There are several different chords in this song (even in the verses) - either you're not really listening or you don't know what a chord is or sounds like.  Quirky, but not a bad tune - great cover art.

Oh Sorry, but their gig in Vlaardingen a few months ago was amazingly good. So what do we do now?

Thank you for the warning. Man...if YOU don't like it then it's not a good sign for this band.

Great to see RP discovered Blaudzun. I'm starting to like it very much.

Only heard two songs from this band so far, but they seem to have a knack for haunting melodies.

Interesting - need to hear it more to see if it grows, I could see coming to really enjoy it.

Glad to see you're playing this artist. I just heard this album recently and the first couple of songs totally blew me away. "Elephants" and "heavy flowers" were quite distinctive. The rest didn't grab me as immediately but listening to this one on radio paradise made it stick out enough that I looked up from what I was doing to see who it was that was playing. That's a good barometer of its being good.

Blaudzun? I'm stealing that for my next D&D character name. Otherwise, this tune sounds interesting.
