Artist: Crushed Stars
Song: “Flowerbomb”
Album: Farewell Young Lovers
“This will sound like a cliché, but I was standing in a cafe line and was intrigued by the fragrance of the person in front of me, so I asked what it was,” Todd Gautreau tells Rolling Stone. “She answered Flowerbomb, which I thought was an interesting word since you don’t normally associate the gentleness of a flower with the intensity of an explosion. So I was inspired to write a song about a hypothetical girl who would have both of these qualities.”
