This song is the reason I broke up with my d*** of an ex. I didn't realise how much time I was wasting on him and how much effort I was putting into the relationship getting nothing in return. Then I met an amazing guy, didn't last but showed me to concentrate on the good things and when to say enough is enough :)
To me this song is about a girl who doesn't feel like she fits in or is pretty enough. She tries and tries to fit in and be pretty (make her "flowers" grow). Then she meets a boy who shows her how to have fun and she fits in and is happy :) ITS B-E-A-UTIFUL
When it's just Kate, her beautiful lyrics and a piano or guitar, that's when her true talent comes out. They're the songs that made us all fall in love with Kate Nash. Which is why I think that her Made of Bricks album is a hundred times better than most of the overproduced My Best Friend Is You.
This is my favourite Kate Nash song ever. Simply amazing :)
if you like this song why not consider listening to regina spektor's "braille"? they both are some of the most beautiful piano pieces out there nowadays if you ask me
Kate Nash made explore apart of me I didn't know. Thank-you, Kate Nash. Music is my life, even though I cannot sing. I am teaching myself how t play the keyboard...but if music was taken out of this world, I'd just rot here. Kate Nash changed my life a bit
looool i love this song but i will never listen to it on the road because it will make me laugh when she says knock knock knock knock and i'll look like a retard :D
This song was what i needed to hear to convince me to break up with my boyfriend last summer, he was treating me like crap while i was putting my all into the relationship. Made me realise there were other people i should be investing time in rather than him. Best decision i ever made :)
@Gennaren gd for you, my gf dumped me because apparently i didnt treat her nicley when i told her id take a bullet for her, i asked her to marry me nd im only 15 nd spen all my money on her, life aint fair is it? Sorry to ere but u though, yr obvs to good for him nd i dont no u but just find somone who really loves you
@oasis899 you asked your girlfriend to marry you when u were 15 and told her that you'd take a bullet for her?
i'm going to sound like a real bitch when i say this, and i dont mean it to sound this way, and you're probably a really nice guy, but... that might have been a little too intense for her.
...Anyways, i'll stop criticising your love life. Sorry XD
out of 40,911 people that have watched this, 1 sad little person hasn't ever felt like little red in anyway possible, and that is really sad to see :/
ATTENTION TO ALL PEOPLE WHO THINK THIS ISN'T ON THE ALBUM "made of bricks" : if you have the album if you carry on listening to "merry happy" track 12, after about 6 minutes, this song comes on but still shown as track 12!!
For me it's about a little girl (kate, little red. Or in this case, me. I also have red hair) growing up and comparing her personality and looks to all the other kids at school and tries hard to fit in and has low self esteem and then she meets a boy while going through all these early teenage emotions. The boy is a little bit older and has been through everything she went through and they fell in love. Which then probably messed her up but then looks back on it & realises it made her stronger.
i like everyone's personal opinion, but i have to just say that i think it's about a girl who learns to go with her gut and take that risk because you never know until you try. Sometimes you can't stop to smell the roses (or grow flowers in this case) you have to take that first jump/climb
I feel like this song is about a girl who's a little bit lost and gets lead off by a guy who seems to care, and she realizes that if she perseveres she can get the better things she deserves.
I love this song, it's one of my favourites of all time.
For me it's all about love. She waist time in horrible relationship, she lost a lot of energy and it's realy hard to breake something like this. But one day she will meet a person who shows her how beautifull life can be, and he will do everything to makes her happy, because she deserve for it. It's her first big step in her life. First, but not the last one. It's only the beginning :)
This song is great, partly because everyone finds a different meaning in it - I think it's a bit against authority and rules, against sticking with the crowd - a song about rebelling. But others get completely different meaings from it. <3
this song is beautiful...it took me a while to realize what it meant, though.. i think it is about a girl who is trying so hard to get something right in her life, but somehow she just can't fit in with everyone around her. then little red comes knocking...and he is concerned about her. so he helps her out by saying that if she follows him, she can reach happiness through having fun and being yourself. and all you have to do is a jump and a climb:)
Yea, because I'm American it means that I will follow their morals. I'm not some dumbass nationalist idiot and having that type of mindset is ignorant, not that I'm not for free speech but assuming that because I'm American it automatically means I'm programmed with some set of morals that I follow like law.
No i just assumed as your lucky enough to live in a country where you have the chance to say what you think, and you dont get arrested for having 'uncorrect' veiws you may respect other peoples opinions on music. I'm not saying your a patriotic nationalist, but just be grateful your world lets you and others express their opinions, and rember to respect that!
Its freedome of speach on both sides, but its not freedom of speach to attack someones veiws and say that there are false or not good enough based on gender... what if i am a woman? Then ur whole argument goes out the window... get a life and allow people to have views other than yours...
Yes so sexist as well, as of couse girls must looks deeply into all things in life whereas boys must just be mucho thugs. Have you looked at the date really. And yeah your intitled to your veiw, but you dont have to start swearing at someone else cause its not the same! Same principle as racism, its your oppinion but its is offenceive so dont express it!
Uh, little lesson here, Freedom of Speech protects hate speech as well, if you are so keen on protecting the freedoms of opinion then negative ones should be protected as well.
@Bowdee101: stop being a hypocrite, you say I shouldn't assume things about women but you assume I have no life? Stop tripping on your words moron.
PS. I have nothing against women, it's simply an expression and if a woman is offended by it I do not care at all, nor should they.
"The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society... for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others" I.e. freedom of speech doesnt really cover hate speech.
And yet again you show that you cant seem to grasp the idea that other people (women), have different veiws!
Excuse me? That made no sense. What im saying is that ur being a sexist pig by assuming the because my view confilcits yours, or that u dnt like it, it makes me female, and my views stupid.
How old are u? Do u live alone? Wear tanktops with holes? Balding? OH im sorry... am i steriotyping a sexist person... jeeze my appologies!!
This is 2002, not 1909, women have the same rights as men... and i have the right to express myself!
Im sure u'll comment back... but in the end, i dnt care!!!
Obviously you don't care, you just put in the effort of making illiterate comments for laughs? And we're living in the year 2009 twit. Seriously, stop acting like a lady XD
@ originalchillie: by cover I mean freedom of speech protects hate speech, evidenced by the fact that I can start a hate protest and not get arrested for it. Again, please don't explain to me my rights.

Because I choose not be a little pussy and just listen to the song instead of looking for gay little messages? Oh god, I sure hope they teach me how to be a lady in college or I AM FUCKED!
You know what... im not going to argue with you, because its pointless... ull never listen because your "that type of person" have fun, you white trash peice of crap!
Hey people, its MUSIC! You can listen to it just cause you like it, or you can try and interpret the meanings behind it, but it really doesnt matter what other people do! Its meant to be individual, so stop swearing and belittiling each other over music! Theres better arguments to have!
Have you got the UK edition? I think its only on that version... if you have it should be on the last track (after merry happy) just wait a bit. If not I have no idea why! Sorry!
