It was the only single from the band's 1991 album The Way to Salvation. ContentIn "My Heart Is a Flower," a pop rock track with elements of psychedelic rock, frontman John S. Hall repeatedly sings the titular phrase, recites a short monologue expanding on the heart-as-flower metaphor, then returns to singing the titular phrase as the music crescendoes.[1] In an interview circa 1992, Hall explained his inspiration for the song as follows:{{cquote|...[W]hen I really, really feel very bad, what I want to do is make myself feel better, so I'll write something happier. 'My Heart Is a Flower' is really a funny song. I was very, very sad when I wrote that one and a lot of people find that surprising. But I felt really, really trampled on, like a flower that's been thrown down in the dirt, when I wrote that.[2]}} Music videoThe video for "My Heart Is a Flower" was directed by Phil Morrison.[3] During the parts of the video that accompany the sung sections of the song, the band performs in a large, colorful garden, with multi-instrumentalist Chris Xefos often playing in a bear costume. During the part of the video that accompanies the spoken section, Hall plays chutes and ladders in a dimly lit room with a woman played by Juliana Hatfield. The woman flosses her teeth before narrowly avoiding a kiss from Hall.[4] References1. ^{{cite web | last = | first = | title = Lyrics: My Heart Is a Flower | publisher = Farmboy's King Missile | date = | url = http://www.i-mockery.com/kingmissile/heart.html | accessdate = 2008-05-28 }} 2. ^{{cite web | last = Fleiss | first = Elein | title = A Sensitive Singer: An Interview with John S.
