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.
In an interview circa 1992, Hall explained his inspiration for the song as follows:
“ | ...hen I really, really feel very bad, what I want to do is make myself feel better, so I'll write something happier. 'My Heart Is a Flower' is really a funny song. I was very, very sad when I wrote that one and a lot of people find that surprising. But I felt really, really trampled on, like a flower that's been thrown down in the dirt, when I wrote that. | ” |
