Some Flowers Bloom Dead

Now some flowers they never bloom /And some flowers just bloom dead. man i love that line. too think that a flower or their love would just end up dead right from the start is pretty depressing.

You want to make it so much harder Now in another world I could learn to forget But 'til then I'm here making room for new regrets Now some flowers they never bloom And some flowers just bloom dead

That's a great chorus. I love it.

Listening to this song makes me wonder why the Wallflowers aren't more successful they are total genius. Probably because it's Bob Dylan's kid. And this song is not a traditional break-up song. The Wallflowers destroy anything conventional to me.

This song was really the only one that I liked off of 'Breach.' It's really pretty, though. I was a bit shocked by it when I first heard it for some reason... but, yeah, it's a nice song.

The way I sleep this bed just can't be made I pull the covers up around my head Now when I think of me I think of somebody else instead

To me this means that his bed was made for 2. This song is about a relationship that never "bloomed" but looking back on it he realized that it was never meant to be from the start.

is it saying some people are just ugly? Actually like people saying its a fantastic break up song...I think

The verses in this song are so ingeniously written. It all feels so real when I think back to the aftermath of failed relationships. As has been said above, this is the archetypal breakup song.

Some Flowers Bloom Dead is brilliant in so many ways, a crown jewel of a great album.

Breach gets bashed a lot, but I really feel that it was a trulygreat work.

In Hand Me Down, Jakob finally writes about his father. Sleepwalker is possibly my favorite Wallflowers song of all. I've Been Delivered is also very well written. Great song about a touchy subject. The album closes with the transition from the angst of Murder 101 to the calming, sentimental Birdcage/Babybird.

I think Breach is sickeningly underrated

yep, I've been playing it in the last few days and was a bit surprised about how many good songs are in there... "Witness" is also great, with the horns that reminds me of those on Women+Country, or I should say the other way around :)

back to the song, I really like the line "making room for new regrets," which reminds me of how difficult it is not to make the same mistakes again and again... I prefer the acoustic version, though (the one played live for Radio Alice)
