about

DANDELION's music came about after a dream of a beachside jam session with friends, and the lyric was inspired by the radio-clock-alarm NPR interview of author Isabel Allende that woke me. Kiku Collins shines on muted trumpet throughout, and her flugelhorn weaves in harmony with Daniel Mintseris' melodica on the choruses and Bacharach-like outro.

lyrics

When I feel my fire dying
I remember Dandelion
Though she’s lost
All her bloom and her seed
Riding on the wind
She has everything
She needs

Once the belle of the bouquet
When the summer fades away
She opens wide
To embrace the next
friendly breeze
Riding on the wind
She has everything
She needs

Ooo...

Through the thorns and tangled vines
Up comes Dandelion
Reaching for the sun
Showing everyone
her means
And her sunny smile
That no man can defeat

Ooo...

Dandelion I need to know
How you make your blossom grow
How you stay
So beautiful and true
Oh Dandelion
I will follow you
I will follow you
I will follow you
