Like so many Talking Heads songs, this is a ballad disguised as a dance tune. "Flowers" is a cautionary tale about a man who thought he wanted to return to nature, only to discover the difficulties of losing civilization. Text on images is very difficult to accomplish well. However this video amplifies the text. Ultimately, it uses the fragmentary nature of text -- compounding it so thoroughly -- that it serves the song fluidly. Expert editing. A great work.
