about

+++

Raphael Mann (Mika's dad): "Ever since she was tiny, Mika always made up tunes and hums, and as soon as she knew enough words those turned into songs and poems. When she was four years old I started to teach her piano, to give her a way to make sense of her musical ideas, develop them and remember them. We often write songs together, just for fun. 'Wild Flowers' we came up with when she was five. We collaborated on both lyrics and music, and we decided it was too good a song not to make a proper recording of. So here it is, her debut single..."

lyrics

Poppies like pom-poms
Papery thin
Guarding the roses
To keep out the wind

And the sow-thistle, dandelion, bristly ox-tongue
Watch the marigolds soak up the sun

Wild flower drinking
Wild flower thinking
Drinking up the rain that's falling on the
Wild flowers
Wild flowers

Daisies are sleeping
All through the night
Waiting for morning
To fill them with light

And we'll walk along pathways, and over the grass
Just to look at the flowers we pass

Wild flower drinking
Wild flower thinking
Drinking up the rain that's falling on the
Wild flower drinking
Wild flower thinking
Drinking up the rain that's falling on the
Wild flowers
Wild flowers

(Lyrics by Mika Mann & Raphael Mann, (c) 2020)
