41 Best Songs About Flowers

Flowers in Your Hair by The Lumineers

Song year: 2012

This toe-tapping ear candy is one of my personal favorites. The Lumineers are just so good.

The lyrics of this song tell the story of growing up and starting to overthink everything that came to you with ease when you were a child. Most, if not all, of us, can relate to that.

Flowers In Your Hair is a fun and fast-paced song that will make you want to run through a field with flowers in your hair.

Black Roses Red by Alana Grace

Song year: 2005

A track like this song brings out all the emo teenage angst. I cannot be the only one who had this on repeat on my mp3 player.

The song is about finding true love in reality and no longer having it be just in their dreams.

The artist, Alana Grace, wrote the song for the soundtrack of the famous movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Iris by Goo Goo Dolls

Song year: 1998

The Goo Goo Dolls can thank Iris for a lot of their fame as a band. The song was a worldwide hit following its release and has continued to be a popular song years after it first debuted. 

Not only has Iris been featured in several films, but it was also actually written due to inspiration from a movie character.

The lyrics are powerful and moving. To have this song dedicated to you is a gift.

Marigold by Nirvana

Song year: 1993

Our list wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t have a Nirvana song on it.

Marigold, released in 1993, was written and performed by Nirvana’s drummer, Dave Grohl instead of the band’s front-man Kurt Cobain.

The song is haunting while pleasing to the ear. The meaning of the song has been debated over since its release- whether about love, addiction, or something else we may never know.

Tip Toe Through the Tulips by Tiny Tim

Song year: 1968

The original Tip Toe Through the Tulips was in 1929 but was performed by the artist Tiny Tim in 1968 which made the song rise to fame.

Known for the high vocal tone Tiny Tim used, and intriguing lyrics, this song has remained popular even today as you can find it trending on social media.

The main meaning of the lyrics is a positive one. It has, however, become more associated with “creepy” things since its rise to social media fame.

Flowers Bloom by I Haunt Wizards

Song year: 2009

A song about breaking up, and the pain that comes with it, Flowers Bloom is a perfect ballad if you have a hurting heart.

The lyrics tell the story of an individual having difficulty getting over someone. Through metaphors, the singer explains that everything was much more beautiful when they were together.

With a catchy synth sound and meaningful lyrics, this is a must-listen.

Yellow Roses by Dolly Parton

Song year: 1989

If a song list does not have Dolly Parton on it, is it a reliable song list?

A song about lasting love even when the person you love is gone from your life. The lyrics are relatable and oh-so-Dolly.

This song is the epitome of comfort. From the vocals to the soft guitar strumming, it brings a feeling of peace.

This song was the 23rd number-one country hit for Dolly. Talk about a legend.

You cannot walk through your musical garden without Yellow Roses.

Bed of Roses by Bon Jovi

Song year: 1992

John Bon Jovi wrote this song while he was hungover, which is not a great feeling, and the lyrics show the pain and confusion he was feeling at the time.

Bed of Roses has been covered by several artists since it was released. This probably stems from the fact that many can relate to the deep emotions the words convey.

Life is a Flower by Ace of Base

Song year: 1998

Ace of Base saw the sign and realized that ‘Life is a Flower’.

This upbeat song will make you want to dance and smile. The lyrics are positive and inspiring.

Sometimes it is good to take a deep breath while listening to a happy song and remember that things will be okay. This song will leave you feeling positive and refreshed.

Rose in December by Halestorm

Song year: 2001

Rose in December is a soft yet powerful song that is different from what we are used to hearing from Lizzie Hale and her band Halestorm.

The lyrics of this song reflect the want to be loved and they want to love others even if they feel undeserving. To feel undeserving of love is something we can all relate to sometimes, unfortunately. 

A rose in December is a metaphor for something beautiful in the cold feeling that can be depression or anxiety.
