Thread Name: Lyr Add: The Three Flowers
Subject: RE: The Three Flowers
McGrath, my point is the one in DT keeps saying "she took the FIRST flower... she took the FIRST flower.... she took the FIRST flower...." in all three verses instead of describing that she kissed each of the three flowers. I don't think that's an improvement, I think it misses the imagery of the symbolism of each flower. ... just a minor pickiness on my part maybe, it's just that every image in a song is important to me in describing the story it tells.
