I've had the title for this one stuck in my head. It's such a mundane phrase, often heard during airplane safety instructions. Yet, when removed from context, it becomes a deeper philosophical statement that goes well with the music.

Everything performed by Matheos, except for drums on three tracks (including this one) which are provided by Dutch drummer Dennis Leeflang.

It is solidarity in dark places. It is in honour of finding love within the ruins. It is a celebration of beauty and art as resistance. We hope you can find your single flower, wherever it is.

A comment from the band's website about the album titled, "A Single Flower":
It was written through a time where hope has been an afterthought. It is for people who can’t face tomorrow but do so with stoic hearts.

The title and its sound are meant to capture the perilous instability of our world - a feeling of standing on the edge, yet finding the resolve to keep going. The track is about confronting the despair of modern global issues (climate change, political upheaval) with a sense of defiant rebellion.

For this cover image, I fed the complete lyrics into Google Gemini and it took a pretty decent stab at it.

Falling, falling, falling, fall into me
I hear echoes of my speech
And I see shadows of my walk
I feel the past
I always look backwards

[II]
My heart is drifting through all shades of green
My head is thinking through meadows of the sea
Lonely as I am

Expanding the scene where I've never (ever) been
A promise at last to call back the past
To finish off with you - I'm finishing off with you

Sliding down

I listened to the sound of your airs
We’re watching stone saints fall over
While the black crows will be taking to the sky

Falling, falling, falling, fall into me
I hear echoes of my speech
And I see shadows of my walk
I feel the past
I always look backwards
