Janelle Monáe - "Mushrooms & Roses"

[yolovesgud]

who's the character singing here? Is that Cindi Mayweather or an other droid?

I'm wondering °_°

[MrSnowWhite6]

My Inner Flower Child Loves the Shit Out Of this Song

[33hands]

fun. brought me here

[soadlova]

@33hands i saw them (fun. and jm) perform together this past september. PHENOMENAL!!

[33hands]

fun. brought me here

[Frisbieinstein]

Pictures of Matchstick Men

[MrPsu4evr]

@Frisbieinstein Agreed! It's awesome how broad her she is. True artist.

[IDontKnowCorp]

Lovely

[ga22by]

Hats off the the producer of this album... and Janelle Monae of coarse

[belinda43in1]

Some Jimi Hendrix shit.

[Mragdoll]

@belinda43in1 i feel you

[fackinternet]

this song makes me think of lady gaga....

[TheZoRetro]

@fackinternet lol why?

[ariel12955]

@fackinternet That is just offensive...keep that trashy bitch out of Janelle's comments please.

[electricfemale]

Ouuuu, very yummy. 

[SholaMind21]

she HAS to re-release this album!!!!

[pinksunglasses90]

I'm moving in slow motion..

[CMloveify]

Makes me feel like I'm in Star Wars.

[CMloveify]

This song is so amazing...

[AnnaZephyrP]

Such a beautiful voice!! Such a beautiful music!!

I was watching on tv, her performing at Rock In Rio, and wow, Janelle has a great stage presence. (:

[WheelerLifton]

We're all virgins to the joys of loving without fear. Sweet goodness of the world, that is so beautiful.

[sjeezy93]

@WheelerLifton Wow, I love that thought. It's true.

[RomanRoyale]

I so cannot wait for her next album!!!

[CMloveify]

I LOVE THIS SONG.

[ultinatetruustar]

This song is sick. Feels like Ive fallen into the rabbit hole.

*PEACE*

[hippyblood4]

"Elephants and Flowers"

[hellokittycutie2003]

I feel like a flower child! Fucking love Miss Monae...I gotta see her live.

[Mscamj96]

The violins get to me. It's like they are what take me back and forth between Earth and another galaxy.

[SholaMind21]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG xD

[TheHuntress144]

some serious psychedelic rock influences here!

[thehumansituation]

I love her voices and all the concepts she embraces... aaaaaaaaaand this music saves me weed money ;)

[Parchybangin]

@thehumansituation  Real shit yo... i feel u

[HairHonOxXx]

I love her music its so interesting i have connections to it in my own way Like if u agree!!!!!!

[KTBEverlasting]

One of my fave songs by her. I love the music @ the end. Those who participated in the making of the album: KUDOS.

[NaturallyConscience]

I am so married to a man but Janelle...im gonna really need you to marry me.

[medianmusic]

Well, she's on a mushroom-trip, I presume! It reminds me to the Golden Sixties with Tommy James and the Shondells! Hear The CD " Crimson & Clover and Cellophane Symphony" and you will hear very similar music! By the way: It's fantastic!

medianmusic

[kedordu]

@medianmusic

I DUNNO MAN shes more like rotary club .

[kedordu]

@kedordu

connection*

[jnoriega321]

5 ppl are on some shrooms xD

[dancecamerondance123]

@jnoriega321 If they were on shrooms they probably wouldn't be able to work a computer xD haha

[fakkadihellbitch]

this song chills mi gut so i can fart

[forgotusernameagain9]

consider me blown away...

[clamzcoolio]

Janelle Monae > Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift...all those other popular female music artists these days

[Stickmaleboy]

@clamzcoolio I would agree if she made more songs like Cold War, Tightrope, and many moons.

Maybe on the next album? Please?

[SuperMonique1974]

I love this song! It makes me think so much of Jimi Hendrix. This woman deserved a Grammy. Great music nowadays always gets overlooked. :0(

[KebbyTheProphet]

Her music is definitely for the intelligent and sophisticated. o=]

[rtoriq]

i always used to skip this song because the vocal/autotune thing was so annoying to me, but i had to get used to it because -like all of her songs- the lyrics were soooo dope AND because the production was dope too.



[TheKidWithTheCrown]

@rtoriq I don't think it's autotune. There's is a bit of distortion, or some kind of slight filter, but if you listen to her live its all her.

[djsoulja0im0ME]

@TheKidWithTheCrown It sounds like a vocoder with a wah-wah effect added...

[glowingdemon]

wow, it's been awhile since I came across an artist in passing and was blown away like this, damn that is a catchy song.

[MightyFangirl]

This song live is something to behold. painting a canvas on stage and singing this song. If you think she is something by listening to this album wait until you see her live! her presence is amazing!

[MrGaultstein]

This song makes me want to run in a field of flowers with a lover as we trip on shrooms together.

[terelon]

This song reminds me of Rocky Horror Picture Show for some reason.

[ImaCremeTruffle]

Is it supposed to sound weird and wobbly like that?

[fyredragon5270]

@ImaCremeTruffle Yes, she is performing this song as Cindi Mayweather. You know who Cindi is right...right.

[fyredragon5270]

@ImaCremeTruffle Plus, it's suppose to be a psychedelic trip like your on acid or took a bong hit white in a dark room with a black light on with fluorescent colored paintings on the walls, lol. Just like what ericford noted, Jimi Hendrix...listen to his songs, they're trippy too.

[fyredragon5270]

@ImaCremeTruffle **while

[liacaleidoscopio]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[MrChiffy]

crimson and clover....over and over......

[Linelia]

I love this lady as well! She definitely is a breath of fresh air! And I fell in love with her and her music after watching Tightrope 7 months ago!

[freddyellis]

She and Carlos Santana needs to do an album ASAP.

[pixarian]

why Grammy didn't consider The ArchAndroid for an album of the year nomination is beyond me.

[tmrprc]

@pixarian i dont think it was released within the timespan for consideration....i could be wrong but thats the answer that makes the most sense to me

[pwrgawd]

@pixarian Thank YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mysterymediacorp]

@pixarian a sign of the times

[TOSTunes]

@pixarian The Grammy's are fixed. Popular and mainstream is what gets awards, NOT talent. This is 2011 and people still don't know this? LOL

[CrimsonOkami]

@TOSTunes Well, the band who got album of the year still deserved it I think. Arcade Fire is really good, and compared to the other nominations, not as popular.

[marnishabrina]

@pixarian stuck on the same old.  I love her.

[xxSAGACITYxx]

@pixarian real music never gets the respect it should

[lednails]

Picked this up because I kinda liked Tightrope. Fantastic album, so many influences, it just goes in so many different directions and it challenges you, which a good album SHOULD do. I hear David Bowie, Bootsy Collins, Simon & Garfunkel, Iggy Pop, Lucious Jackson and lots of jazz and R&B elements I'm not too familiar with, but can definetely appreciate. Not too much into alot of todays music as one can tell from the artists I listed, but I'm sure as hell into this.

[Makgame325]

Man that would tight if she could perform this at the Grammys!!!!!!!!!! O.O

[Blacksun1942]

It's crazy, I'm a brand new fan and I feel EXACTLY THE SAME WAY as you guys. I'm totally IN LOVE with this music. Janelle Monae cast a spell on me

[Belle3539]

Damn this is like taking a psychedelic drug...awesome...

[MYSTERIOUSasLOVE]

she should make an anime movie dealing with her music. i would love to see it.

[fyredragon5270]

Blueberry Mary and she's crazy 'bout me...she's wild man...she's wild.

She gives the boys all of her kisses and electricity.

The golden door of their emotions open wide.

Till I come, till I come in her dreams

Here they fall into her love and never have to hide.

....Awesome lyrics!!!!

[anzer101]

I fricking L*O*V*E Janelle Monae... a big beautiful breath of fresh air.....

[anzer101]

I fricking L*O*V*E Janelle Monae

[tiny937]

BEAUTIFUL. RELEASE HER FROM BAD "KILL YOUR CAREER" BOY RECORDS. LET HER FREE!!!

[LordViczerez]

She needs a Grammy for this album!

[2threemiles]

@LordViczerez

i think it actually deserves more

[Kernnee]

Eclectic Ladyland.

[queefstorm]

I bought this CD for my mom and went this song came on, EVERYONE in the house just stopped what they were doing and listened. Even after the song was over, we were just like "...". Damn good song.

[DazzahX]

love it :)

for some reason it reminds me of the silent hill games.

anyways, i love this song, janelle is a true talent.

[MYSTERIOUSasLOVE]

I LOOOOOOOOVE THIS!!!

[Dragonkid2047]

@MYSTERIOUSasLOVE Really Now you love this i would have to agree with you on that this is the shhh

[BohoChic5]

Its like another world. Really phenomenal!

[DLSmith7476]

@manilabarbie No, you definitely should buy it, this ENTIRE CD is FANTASTIC, you will NOT be disappointed at ALL!!

[TheKidWithTheCrown]

Sounds like a TLC song remixed by The Mars Volta.

[KawaiiMimichan21]

i love the beginning of this song with the violins

[heavenlyauctions]

i think im in love with her music...been searching for an album like this for years! The closest I came to was Linkin Park but now they're falling off. She recaptured the light of music for me!

[theylurvemeh]

i just love janelle monae. she dsnt sing about dat crap other female artists do, she puts meaning into her songs. Luv it. Luv Herr!

[circethesorceress]

Dare I make the comparison? But this whole album, especially this track, really reminds of Dark Side of the Moon. And Electric Ladyland.

[savannah2053]

@a1d2h Erm that isn't a mistake calling her Miss Andre 3000. She's so like him it's untrue, and fantastic <3

[sweetbutdaring]

@savannah2053 Nah, you can't compare them. Don't like his music, love hers.

[tgooch59]

Doesn't this music just take you somewhere?

[keeno1luv]

@tgooch59 hell yea!

[UnderReconstruction7]

@tgooch59 The whole fucking album takes me somewhere!! God bless Janelle, she's born with a god-given talent and I'm happy for her :)

[boocoo45]

her voice. that guitar. <3

[emoxbioch]

Love this song soo much Did anybody pay attention to the lyrics in the middle 1:54 2:59 I remember one of the regulars Her long, grey hair Beautiful smile and rosy cheeks Her name slips my mind Ahhh, her name was Blueberry Mary and shes crazy about me Shes so crazy about me Shes wild man shes wild She gives the boys all of her kisses and electricity Til I come til I come in her dreams The golden door of their emotions opens wide Here they fall into her love and never have to hide

[JamaquinaCubana]

@emoxbioch Wow...she's a poetic lyrical genius! I got lost in those words for a minute....taking in the meaning - obvious and hidden! Love it!

[2threemiles]

she clearly used Claire de lune in another song

whats the song at the beginning in this one?

[babygirlakapooky]

@2threemiles its not really a nother song but like a slight imitation of of the willie wonka song land of imagination....is beyond tight the way she uses it....is in alot of her songs on this cd.....and her whole cds concept is in a land of imagination lol but at the same time has ALL real concepts this woman is BEYOND DEEP!!!! i love her!! lol

[FcukinIcon1]

Miss Andre 3k

[Annizz1991]

this is the first song i have ever listened to now i am in love with her songs and style she is very unique and talented so glad i found her :)

[utwobing]

smooth yet funky!

[Ratseno]

She is taking me on a fantastic ride through the galaxy; therefore, I see more than five stars.

[nastradonis]

@Ratseno OW OW to that

[nubihotep]

Hendrix meets The Beatles here! I Love it!!!!

[XVI9XXII]

whoa. did I just trip to the light or is this song that good?!

[sdtracy08]

@4ridaque I agree... I've gotta "buy" this CD to have in my "CDs I would buy" collection! Lol! I seldom purchase CD's anymore but this girl is worthy. Has the kind of changes I need to hear (I think I have A.A.D.D.) to listen to music now-a-days. I go from channel to channel trying to find a nice variety of music. Rock, soul, jazz, and alternative! She's got it!

[poprincessa]

So beautiful and Hypnotizing

[pixarian]

i adore this song. love ya, J!

[im1shak1biotches]

iLOVE THIS!!! HELL, iLOVE THIS ENTIRE ALBUM!!

[acousticsoul21]

she's one of the only artists i feel can and definitely SHOULD make a music video for every single one of her songs. she is extremely and utterly talented. all of her music. blows me away.

[shuete]

"Mushrooms & Roses"

says it All

[TheOriginalOne]

Her Voice + That Guitar = Love

[durrtybear06]

this is what i envisioned the inside of my mind sounds like

[SethBalmore7]

DEFINATELY GETTING THIS ALBUM

[JELLYSANDWICHFOREVER]

im so stoned watching this...and its amazing (:

[jadeejade]

I Think Janelle i'm sorry miss monae and prince should do a song together it would be one of the best songs of our time!

[90mv]

@jadeejade would get more people into her music too

[bradioactive]

i f i still smoked weed, i'd get blowed out of my mind and just jam to this. I know that would just be OUTRAGEOUS!

[TANK1336]

For Sum Reason..I Actually like this song.

[mysterymediacorp]

@TANK1336 uhh, maybe because it's a great song ?

[TANK1336]

@mysterymediacorp I said dat bcuz I Usually dont listen to stuff like this..Janelle iz a pretty good artist..She iz in her own lane.

[90mv]

could make a sick music video to this

[choclatedrpz]

so mellow.....yeah so mellow.....

[zoooey2002]

One of the best songs to come out this year

[nusoulstarr06]

i can groove to this joint all night, this is so hot

[Mopedioadicomputer]

I can feel the psychedelic influences!! listening all the way from South Africa, but I am not too sure if this album is available in my country

[iamrockyhorror]

"we're all virgins to the joy of loving without fear"

nuff said.

[PorroFirst]

Un-der-ra-ted.

[ksky75]

Great Album!! I would say this Album is her "Electric Ladyland". Can't wait for next album already! I hope they don't restrict her.

[ericford]

HENDRIX CALLED.  HE LOVES THIS.

[queerscholarsofcolor]

@ericford so i'm the only one who felt like I was listening to a lost track from electric ladyland.... but LOVED IT ;)

[Feygeass]

@ericford HAHA XD

[shyras0glam]

@ericford sounds just like jimmy ! i luv it

[Mawulisa2]

OKAY. I've been Youtubing Janelle for about an hour and now it's offical. I've actually fallen in love. It happened like 3 minutes into this song. I'm such a fan now it's not even funny.

[BklynKing143]

"We're all virgins to the joys of loving without fear"....OMG Monae!

[nubbinnoob]

this song is beautiful live. i felt like going into a coma of awesomeness to capture the moment. it was the first song i heard from her (i was so late to that show!)

[suckerpunched9x]

I remember one of the regulars Her long, grey hair Beautiful smile and rosy cheeks Her name slips my mind... Ahhh, her name was, uh... Blueberry Mary, and she's crazy 'bout me (She's so crazy about me) She's wild man, she's wild! She gives the boys all of her kisses and electricity (Til I come, til I come in her dreams) The golden door of their emotions opens wide Here they fall into her love and never have to hide

[suckerpunched9x]

Mushrooms and roses is the place to be (Smells like love to me) Where all the lonely droids and lovers have their wildest dreams The golden door of our emotions opens here We're all virgins to the joys of loving without fear Come sweet love Take my hand Follow me Just let me be Come sweet love Just take my hand Follow me Let us be Yeah...

[jeffkatt]

The guitar reminds me of Hendrix & Eddie Hazel from Funkadelic. Kellindo Parker is fantastic!

[mellowlemonmoon]

i'm obsessed with this entire album, but whenever this song comes on i have to put it on repeat a few times before i can move on. i'm in another world altogether when i hear it.

[Makgame]

@mellowlemonmoon U Definitely got that right! ;)

[oldjea]

@mellowlemonmoon lmao this album is stoner musical heaven too trust me xD

[mellowlemonmoon]

@oldjea oh i know all about that, LMAO ;)

[tatanosmusic1125]

@oldjea No truer words.

[hypnosathenae]

@mellowlemonmoon For REAL. That wailing, high-flying guitar makes me want to cry every time.

[stellarcon]

@mellowlemonmoon ME TOO! I think it's my favorite song on the album.

[MarieClay05]

Her album is so refreshing and breathtaking! I <3 Janelle!

[Evilbunnie83]

The golden door of our emotions opens here

We're all virgins to the joys of loving without fear.

[4ridaque]

[87lolo]

@4ridaque Me Too, i just saw TODAY that she released a new Album, my life needs this Object!

[jadeejade]

@4ridaque I Brought the CD It's well worth it! Her music is phenomenal! I Would buy a million more!

[MsZ6r]

1st verse

mushrooms and roses is the place to be

where all the lovely droids & lovers have their wildest dreams

the closing door or our emotions opens here

we're all virgins to the joys of loving without fear

so far that's all i have...still working on the chorus & 2nd verse

[MsZ6r]

@MsZ6r

the closing door of* our emotions opens here

[Kuramalove24]

[taross78]

[thefullmetalflame]

Great artist, first!
