Music Video
The music video for "Flower" was directed by Mark Miremont. The black-and-white video features the band performing the song amid scenes of the band members wandering around a city. Released in late 1988, "Flower" was Soundgarden's first music video. The video was put into rotation on MTV's underground alternative music show, 120 Minutes, and subsequently helped the burgeoning Seattle grunge scene gain attention and garner exposure to a somewhat mainstream audience.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“If this be love, to clothe me with dark thoughts,
Haunting untrodden paths to wail apart;
My pleasures horror, music tragic notes,
Tears in mine eyes and sorrow at my heart.
If this be love, to live a living death,
Then do I love and draw this weary breath.”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
