Lyrics_All flowers in time bend towards the sun-Jeff Buckley and Elizabeth Fraser My eyes are a baptism Oh I am fuse I'm singing into my thoughts Oh phantom elusive thing Oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one, here is one... Here is one Aaah La da dada... Oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one, here is one... Here is one Keep it going in me We could try to learn Fading farther from me With your face in my window glow Where will you wait for me Sweet willow It's ok to be angry But not to hurt me Your happiness, Yes, yes, yes Darling, darling, darling Oooh... All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one, But here is one, But here is one... Yeah... .............................. Meaning>>> This acoustic song is a duet between two of the most distinctive voices of the '90s: Jeff Buckley and Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins. It was intended to be only a demo, but was leaked online by unnamed sources after Buckley's death. Since, it's become an underground favorite of Buckley enthusiasts. The song starts with Fraser laughing lightly in the background and then jumping right in with her characteristic, metallic vocal artistry. As soon as she's done, Buckley comes in with his own trademark warbling croon. The song seems conscious of the most conspicuous strengths of its singers, giving both of them room to explore both the softer and most forceful ends of their singing ranges. It was not intended to be released in this version, so the relaxed atmosphere likely contributed to the song's freewheeling feeling. The song seems to be about a romance, which would be fitting because Fraser and Buckley had a relationship together for some time. The lyrics, however, are ambiguous enough that the song may be speaking of something other than a simple romantic relationship. The opening lines go: My eyes are baptism Oh, I am fuse (or filth) And sing her Into my thoughts Oh, phantom elusive thing Interestingly, these lyrics are also sung by Fraser, not Buckley, suggesting that the "her" in the song isn't Fraser. So, it's possible the tune is a love song to the artistic muse. This is an interesting interpretation for a song recorded by two artists many have said they "channeled" their best music. Fans and critics have observed that both of them have been said to become possessed in performance, and "All Flowers In Time Bend Towards The Sun" may be an allegory for calling in the muse, much like Nice Cave's "There She Goes, My Beautiful World." This is all pure guesswork, though, as neither Buckley nor Fraser ever spoke about the song's meaning. It wasn't even intended to be released, after all. Ryszard |

I have never heard about this song and I am sure many stories behind each song writer. And even stories behind songs that we heard during some moment of our life time. .
