about

A reshuffle of "Flowers," the centrepiece of 'Disturbing Body,' the debut album by Cots. Rearranged from its original form as beautiful skeletal bossanova, the new “Fresh Cut” version is tilted askew with robotic drums pronouncing the song's ambling essence with mis-emphasis. Producer Olivier Fairfield reimagines Steph Yates's elegant nylon string dirge by removing that elemental guitar, instead wrapping warped samba-inspired levity around its implication.

lyrics

Flowers on the body dead
Flowers I sent
Powder on the eyes of them
They’re too young to die

Dying makes a sort of paste
It’s good for the eyes
Dying makes a sort of cloud
It broadens the sky

Dying makes a sort of sound
It darkens the night
The night was a warning
For my paciful eyes
Heard through the shadows
You’d worn a disguise
