about

Flo has a special love for Pine trees. The smell of them brings her a sense of comfort. With many memories spent amongst the pines in France as a child, Flo touches on how a specific smell can bring us back to a specific memory and the longing or comfort that can arise as life changes.

lyrics

Leaves that smell like pine
Memories of that grape vine
Take it as it goes
It's sunny then it snows

I was once a tree
Feet in the soil
No one dared to hurt me
Wind it holds me
Wind it holds me

Oh mother mother watch us grow
Oh mother mother watch us grow
We can't stop longing
We can't stop longing

Thoughts that melt our minds
Feel your skin is soothing
Take it as it goes
Can't stop thinking
Can't stop thinking

Oh mother mother watch us grow
Oh mother mother watch us grow
We can't stop longing
We can't stop longing

Oh mother mother watch us grow
Oh mother mother watch us grow
Oh mother mother watch us grow
Oh mother mother watch us grow
