Liner Notes

#poisonerchallenge This was so much fun, here is what I was given #girlwithpiano

your poisonous plant is Opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) - the original source for codeine, hydrocodone, opium, morphine, and heroin, it remains a restricted plant to cultivate agriculturally in most countries. Famously found in the Wizard of Oz filling a somnerific field outside Emerald City.

Lyrics

Bright red blooms from small black seeds Feast for my heavy weary eyes I think I’ll just lay down right here And listen to the flowers cry

Opium Opium don’t you know I’m hurting Opium Opium I just want to die Opium Opium this world is too disturbing Ooooo take me to the light

Put that pain in my pipe and smoke it Maybe then I can get some sleep Take a walk in that field of flowers Maybe just don’t breathe so deep

Opium Opium don’t you know I’m hurting Opium Opium I just want to die Opium Opium this world is too disturbing Ooooo take me to the light

You nailed the Emotions in this one. Ooooo. Beautifully seductive sound. You caught me. I'm going to just lay down right here, And listen to the flowers cry. Russ

Hey Russ!! Great to see you thank you!!

Love the dreamy smokey feel to this - it really nails the brief. The use of echo gives it an other-worldy drugged out quality and your vocals are deliciously counterpointed by the sparse piano. Heady stuff. 😄

You nailed the bleak, hopeless tone that addiction can bring to many. Perfectly nailed the assignment.
