I honestly thought this was going to be released as a single. This was one of the best songs on the album and it's a shame because it could have been a wonderful video.
Why is she pretending that somone didnt just hand her the lyrics. Cause thats what happened. someone just handed her the lyrics. and then gave her a check.
@stiqman What are you talking about, she writed her lyrics herself. And don't tell me that's wrong cuz i'm her biggest fan and i almost know everything about her.
I always love hearing how an artist comes to write a song. This song reminds me of old Burt Bacharach/Hal David stuff that Dionne Warwick recorded back in the '60's with the haunting piano piece and the melodies wound the way they are. This song was hell for me to learn to play, but I almost have it. Thanks so much for posting this!
@memyselfandi2311 I agree 100%! She has the talent and the right songs, her label just does a horrible label promoting her. I hope she doesn't decide to leave music because she is such a great artist.
Why why !. . . didn't they release this as a video or single? . . I don't understand why artists release the shittiest songs on the cd's and wonder why they do not get proper sales.
Started listen to 'The Flowers' last week and I'm hooked. I love the way her vocals sound on this song especially the chorus and background parts. Should be a singles, we'll see.
I totally agree with Ama, this track was the one that I actually closed my eyes to, and I just listened and almost cried to:( I had a feeling this track was going to be special and it was...
It's so true the way she explains it, very sad, very melancholy - it's beautiful!
I love this song I have listened to it 10 times already today. Amerie does not get the recognition that she deserves. I am so glad that the album is finally out I picked it up this morning. We do need to hear this song on the radio it's a hit!!!
Damn i have the ablum already and its HOT. I know it comes out tuesday, but i found it. I'm really feeling this song the most. Mostly cause i just broke up with my chick last week, and this song explains everything i went thru with her...
I'm wishing, I wish you would of gave me the flowers (then I could smell them). And I'm wishing, I wish you would of held me for hours (when I was around). And there's nothing you could do, but to wish I was with you. But it's too little, too late, too late to press rewind, (too late to go back in time). So there's nothing you can do, cause right now I'm missing you. You should have gave me the flowers, then I could smell them. Cause now your gone
She is so smart, she writes her own stuff. She comes off as very kind and really into her art, but she has so many haters. I don't understand. But I will be buying this album.
Love In The Time Of Cholera is a VERY underrated movie just like Amerie.

I hope she does a video for this song. It is rare I would listen to an R&B song over and over. I love this song ( I am sure i said it before ).
Amerie did a great job writing this song. Great melody . . you have captured it.
