[edit] Content
In "My Heart Is a Flower," a pop rock track with elements of psychedelic rock, frontman John S. Hall repeatedly sings the titular phrase, recites a short monologue expanding on the heart-as-flower metaphor, then returns to singing the titular phrase as the music crescendoes.[1]
[edit] Music video
The video for "My Heart Is a Flower" was directed by Phil Morrison.[2] During the parts of the video that accompany the sung sections of the song, the band plays in a large, colorful garden, with multi-instrumentalist Chris Xefos often performing in a bear costume. During the part of the video that accompanies the spoken section, Hall plays chutes and ladders in a dimly lit room with a woman played by Juliana Hatfield. The woman flosses her teeth before rejecting a kiss from Hall.[3]
