Flowers - Zaine Griff

‘Flowers’ is a song written by Zaine Griff. It was released on Zaine Griff’s second album Figures (1982). The lyrics explicitly refer to the theatre play Flowers, written by Jean Genet and is meant to be a tribute to his old mime and movement teacher, Lindsay Kemp, who produced the play during the Seventies. Zaine asked Kate Bush to sing backing vocals on this song, and she did.

Quite why I never managed to buy this single before has to have something to do with the price of it. I can't recall that I ever saw it for a low price anywhere, but when I thought of this single recently, there it was, for just a few quid. Of course I had to have it.
