[lianaflores]

thankyou for listening! my new album, Flower of the soul, is out now 🌷🌧️🩷

[waffie]

This is one of those songs that gives you a bittersweet feeling of comfort and melancholy. It feels like missing someone you never knew, like you want to revisit a memory that doesn’t exist

[witchcraft]

This song is literally one of the reasons why I love the moon.

[TempestIsTrying]

Lyrics:
Days seem sometimes as if they'll never end
Sun digs its heels to taunt you
But after sunlit days, one thing stays the same
Rises the moon

Days fade into a watercolour blur
Memories swim and haunt you
But look into the lake, shimmering like smoke
Rises the moon

Oh-oh, close your weary eyes
I promise you that soon the autumn comes
To darken fading summer skies
Breathe, breathe, breathe

Days pull you down just like a sinking ship
Floating is getting harder
But tread the water, child, and know that meanwhile
Rises the moon

Days pull you up just like a daffodil
Uprooted from its garden
They'll tell you what you owe, but know even so
Rises the moon

You'll be visited by sleep
I promise you that soon the autumn comes
To steal away each dream you keep
Breathe, breathe, breathe

[CSMR]

This song fills the "unknown" void between happiness and misery. It's almost like they're dancing together.

[samsamyra]

The lamb reminds me of a poem

Tomorrow when the farm boys find this freak of nature, they will wrap his body in newspaper and carry him to the museum.

But tonight he is alive and in the north field with his mother. It is a perfect summer evening: the moon rising over the orchard, the wind in the grass. And as he stares into the sky, there are twice as many stars as usual.

this song was literally was got me through 2021, i'm so excited for this music video

[APEOX]

Don't get me wrong, this song is amazing. But can we talk about the video's cinematography? The 1960s esq camera, the high saturation, and the adorable fish drawings in the water all make this video come together splendidly!

[whyhat]

This is refreshing. I sang this to my lover under the moonlight over a year ago. She and I split, but I remain. The moon rises still.

[DaMooster]

The quality of the video just adds so much to the aesthetic

[starrcarter]

This song quite literally saved my life multiple times. Whenever I would get awful depressive episodes, this song would be a warm blanket, comforting me. Telling me to keep going, one day at a time. Thank you for this song❤️ I don’t think I would be alive without it.

[anonymous_loser]

this song sounds like a children's book set in the forest. You are one of the best artists out there liana ❤

[kitzunemiku]

this song has comforted me during sooo many moments. I graduated in 2023, and I was constantly worried about my future and where i’d end up. Whenever I would begin to have a panic attack, I would play this song to calm me down. Liana Flores, you have helped me and many others with your music. Thank you so much for comforting me during times when I thought no one else would :, ) God bless you and your career <3

[sarilchowdhury]

Its been 5 years when i randomly stumbled on a youtube recommendation of your recently album and thought woah cool art lets give it a listen and then was absolutely slapped in the face by this song. Needless to say its been 5 years of religiously listening to this song anytime im in the woods and im so proud to see that it finally gets the music video it deserves. Proud to see how far you've come

[sillymothz]

reminds me of warm summer days by a creek, sunlight dappling across the water, the leaves so green it seems like they’ll never crumble under the feet of the same who gazed upon them months prior. when the crisp rain of spring still lingers in the wind. that feeling is something i’ll cherish forever.

[PupPupWf]

these songs remind me to love. my grandfather passed away recently and I'm having a hard time feeling happy.

[Dandontlie]

I'm jealous, everyone seems so happy. Even some are not, they're always had something to hold on onto.

[axotheaxolotl]

Honestly this song is my #1 comfort song. When I lost one of my cats, I felt sad yet empty, but when I listened to this I actually felt allowed to cry, which definitely helped.
Now my other cat it showing signs of getting older, too. She's 20, and has started walking in circles and meowing constantly. We don't have any vets to take her to, so I've just been led to believe she might not make it. Again though, this song is helping me so much. Seriously, thank you so so much, Liana. I don't know what I would've done without this song.

[handevkarim]

This song is so special to me and my partner. We've been in a long distance relationship ( she's from the usa and I'm from Brazil). The first time she came to visit me in Rio this song was the soundtrack of two magical weeks that felt like a dream. Everytime I hear it I'm transported back to our adventures in Rio and the magic begining of our love ❤️

[leestuness]

this song and the rest of the album were one of my only comforts after my mom passing away, ily liana flores this is so perfect
