Close Lobsters - I Kiss the Flowers In Bloom

[VasjaStankovic]

There is something so cold and frightening about this song, like a long, dark winter night which might never end. Yet you can sense the flowers beneath the snow, waiting to bloom again. You may not be there when it happens, but you have to feel better knowing that it doesn't even matter.

This reminds me of Echo and the Bunnymen, I can dig it.

[Smarigdine]

I was a freshman in 1987 and pushed these guys on the college radio station where I DJd relentlessly along with Janes Addiction (the original album - vinyl bitchezzz!!!). Well I guess 50% isn't bad.

@wye4379 Where did you DJ/go to college? I was a big fan myself and played these guys a lot from 87 to 90 at WSMU at UMASS Dartmouth. I was lucky enough to see them when I went to London for spring semester in 89. They should have been bigger like so many bands of that era.

They should have been as big as the Stone Roses.

@BahmanG to be fair, as good as this band may be, the stone roses were definitely better.
