The Flowers, (simplified Chinese: 花儿乐队; traditional Chinese: 花兒樂隊; pinyin: Huār Yuèduì), were a Chinese rock band formed in Beijing in 1998. The band consisted of Dà Zhāng Wěi (lead vocals, guitar) (大张伟), Shí Xǐngyŭ (guitar) (石醒宇), Guō Yáng (bass guitar) (郭阳), and Wáng Wénbó (drums, percussion) (王文博). The Flowers recorded and released six studio albums before splitting up in 2009.
Zhang Wei, Guo Yang and Wang Wenbo met while attending high school. During their early career, they played music in the style of pop punk that was reminiscent of American pop punk bands such as Green Day and Blink-182 who were the group's influences. The band first began playing in local bars and smoky clubs around Beijing. Unable to hide their hunger for commercial success, the band became somewhat aloof from the scene and often derided in some quarters for their attitudes. The trio first signed on to a small Beijing-based Chinese independent label, New Bees Music in 1998. A year later, the band released their debut studio album, On the Other Side of Happiness. The album turned out to be a surprise hit as the accessible nature of songs like "Stillness", "Disillusion" and "School's Out" from the album made the band perfect for the music market they had wished to conquer. The band became somewhat credited for helping to give disaffected Chinese youths a resonant voice, as many of them were deeply affected by their songs and felt that the band's lyrics reflected their own life experiences. As a result, punk music in general became more widely known in China.
The Flowers were a post-punk band from Scotland.
Flowers formed in 1978, and were part of the Edinburgh scene which spawned bands such as Scars, Josef K and The Fire Engines. Early line-ups featured members of local disruptors Dirty Reds: Russell Burn (later of The Fire Engines and Win) and Dave Carson (Boots for Dancing). After bassist Graham Proctor departed, Flowers settled in early 1979 to the line-up which toured and recorded for the next year:
Picking up their instruments as a result of the 1976 punk explosion in New York and the UK, Flowers attempted to fuse a punk sensibility with a love of funk and melodic pop to create a new sound. Flowers contributed two tracks ("After Dark" and "Criminal Waste") to the first Earcom compilation released by Fast Product, and recorded two singles for the Pop Aural label. "After Dark" and "Confessions" both featured on an American compilation album of Fast Product output, Mutant Pop 78/79 which also featured Human League, Scars, Gang of Four, 2.3 and The Mekons. Flowers also recorded a session for John Peel, broadcast on Radio 1 in September 1979 which featured "Living Doll", "Deep End Dance", "Tunnels" and "Tear Along".
I was born in the valley of bricks
Where the river runs high above the rooftops
I was waiting for the cars coming home late at night
From the Dutch mountains
I was standing in the valley of rock
Up to my belly in an early fog
I was looking for the road to a green painted house
In the Dutch mountains
In the Dutch mountains
Mountains
I met a woman in the valley of stone
She was painting roses on the walls of her home
And the moon is a coin with the head of the queen
Of the Dutch mountains
Mountains
I lost a button of my shirt today
It fell on the ground
And it was rolling away
Like a trail leading me back
To the Dutch mountains
To the Dutch mountains
Mountains
I met a miller on the back of a cow
He was looking for the wind but he didn't know how
I said: Follow the cloud that looks like a sheep
In the Dutch mountains
In the Dutch mountains
In the Dutch mountains
Mountains
Mountains
