about
PureGrand ends 2019 with the release of his new festive single 'Flowers'.
Flowers is a wintery new years ballad about choosing to see the positives as a new year approaches as opposed to holding on to regrets and using it as a chance to start over.
Inspired by uplifting ballads from the likes of Cyndi Lauper and Carly Rae Jepson coupled with ABBA-esque melodies, Flowers looks to the past for its synthy sonic palette but to the future in it's lyrical outlook.
“Flowers” was entirely self produced and written by PureGrand (real name Luke Faulkner)
The Dublin native makes pop music of all flavours with a love of synthpop and a healthy dose of camp at its core, PureGrand tries not to follow trends unless he likes what is trendy.
2019 has been a busy year for Faulkner with the release of his Italo House inspired EP “Painkiller” to positive press last August as well as radio play for its lead single “Last Bus” from Tara Stewart's show on 2FM as well as 2XM, DDR and 8Radio.
PureGrand has also spent this year creating colourful music videos for singles like “Pink” and “Last Bus”, while also creating visuals and music videos for fellow Irish pop artists such as Jack Rua, LOGOUS and Babylamb as well performing across Dublin (Workman's, Sin E, Drop Dead Twice) and at some of Irelands best homegrown alternative performance nights such as Glitter Hole, Avoca’s Queer Cabaret and has most recently supported Xnthony at the Dublin Fringe Festival as part of the Deluxe Access show.
lyrics
Feel my heart
It's heavy but it's strong enough
to last all through the night
Feel my head
You don't understand
Cause all we know is going forward
Going towards the light
Flowers always come back to life
Showers, there won't be any, there wont be anymore
Cloud cover, no thunder, no winter storm, just colour
Rock bottom means nothing when you know you'll
make it round the bend
Picking apart all the years that flash before us
There's still so much to do
No pressing restart, on all our shared memoirs
So take the good with the bad cause the past
is in the past
Flowers always come back to life
Showers, there won't be any, there wont be anymore
Cloud cover, no thunder, no winter storm, just colour
Rock bottom means nothing when you know you'll
make it round the bend
Oh, where will we be next year?
I can't help but wonder
Oh, theres no need for fear
When counting down the numbers
Walk away, from all your regrets
Walk away, from all your upsets
Walk away, from all your regrets
Walk away, walk away
Flowers always come back to life
Showers, there won't be any, there wont be anymore
Cloud cover, no thunder, no winter storm, just colour
Rock bottom means nothing when you know you'll
make it round the bend
Flowers always come back to life
Showers, there won't be any, there wont be anymore
Cloud cover, no thunder, no winter storm, just colour
Rock bottom means nothing when you know you'll
make it round the bend
