Chrysanthemums by Born Ruffians
How do you explain the feeling and experience of a field of flowers? Is it universally shared but completely subjective, like love? Is warm, evening rain through the soft, pink light of a sunset something you can put into a song? I tried to bring colours, smells and warm sensations to people through these lyrics. Chrysanthemums existed for a while before I added any words to it - it was just 'the woo-woo' song for a few months. We talked a lot together about what it made us feel and it was really remarkable how we all had entered the same world with it. I hope we opened a door into that place for everyone else who wants to step through it.

Lyrics
I'm sliding through the day
the leaves inside my brain just blew away
I'm jumping in a pool of honey
golden sun going down
chrysanthemums
chrysanthemums
into your indigo moonlight
I'm riding through the wave
of the amber morning haze
lighting up like fireflies, twinkling
dripping honey
running down
chrysanthemums
chrysanthemums
into your indigo moonlight
I'm running through the rain
low, orange light
glows away
a blanket for my mind
embraces me
as I'm floating off the ground
chrysanthemums
chrysanthemums
into your indigo moonlight

Born Ruffians have arrived at the point where a lot of bands give in to the nostalgic lure of album-anniversary tours, start contemplating the casino/fairground circuit, or call it quits. But the beauty of Beauty’s Pride lies in its refusal to accept those predestined fates. It presents them as the rare veteran act that can still make you feel like you’re discovering your new favourite band.
