This Bouquet Lyrics

Cover art for This Bouquet lyrics by Ani DiFranco

I'm an Ani fanatic and have so much of her music. When it's all said and done, I have to say this is my favorite song. It's beauty is in it's simpicity. The opening rythmic guitar riff is in perfect union with the simple yet deeply sincere lyrical meaning. Everyone knows that feeling when they are so infatuated with someone that they can't approach them never mind profess their feelings. In Ani's case, the only way she can communicate these uncommunicable feelings is through a song, a lyric, her musical/poetic gift. What I love is the reference she possesses for this gift of hers. It is simple yet profoundly beautiful like a boquet. It's all in the thought and the meaning behind that thought as long as it is sincere. Ani will be remembered as one of the greatest of our generation. Hopefully it is not before she has left this planet.
