    'Where The Purple Flowers Grow' was written and recorded during the 2020 quarantine, and is the last batch of songs featuring the original 3 man Royal Horses lineup. At the time of making the record, the band had just come off of three years playing shows nonstop, and were as tight as ever. “Purple Flowers” features a heavier use of studio overdubs than any of the bands other work. Songwriter, Shelby Kemp, said about the album “Purple Flowers represents a pivot point in my approach to writing songs”. This album was a close collaboration between Royal Horses and New Orleans based producer John Michael Early.

lyrics

This morning they found the pictures,
Gonna blow the whole thing out the water,
I was still trying to wake up from a dream.

We all got up and went back to work,
Like nothing even happened,
Just another talking face on a screen.

Someone set fire to the motherland,
It’s burning own the mountain,
Dumping ashes down the river into the sea.

Some people saying its the hand of god,
Some say it’s our own doing.
Then they say with a straight face, don’t point your finger at me.

Got to find a way to keep it all together
In the land of broken dreams.
Got to find a way across this great divide
And when your fears get the best of you
You must refuse, you must refuse.

I’m not the one to point the finger.
I’m no the one to bring you down.
But, how long will this bad luck linger?
How long will we be afraid to break off from the crowd?

Got to find a way to keep it all together
In the land of broken dreams.
Got to find a way across this great divide
And when your fears get the best of you
You must refuse, you must refuse.
