about

I wrote this song one evening in the kitchen of my city apartment after taking a trip into the country with a friend of mine. On this particular day I was feeling creative so I brought along my paints, pastels & sketchbooks. We drove until we came to a beautiful field & stopped so I could paint the landscape. When I looked up from my painting I could see my friend in the
field picking a bouquet of wild flowers. The song is about getting away from the every day, often crowded, city life to enjoy some peace & quite in the country.

lyrics

Verse 1
how about today
how about today we run away?
how about today
what do you say we get away?
if it doesn’t happen
quite like in the movies
we’ll always have today
we'll have today

Chorus
wild flowers
laughing in the sun
wild flowers
clashing with the clovers
the rain will say it’s over
but not today
not today

Verse 2
how about today
what do you say we drive away
out of these lights
into the hills we’ll hide away
find a road to follow
we'll drive until tomorrow
let’s go today
let's go today
