Week 23d - I Think I’ll Buy Myself Flowers (210603) by JamesTristanRedding published on 2021-06-03T21:09:03Z "I Think I'll Buy Myself Flowers" (#467, 210603) Editors notes: 1. No alcohol was consumed or even idealized during the writing or singing of these lyrics. 2. Title was a prompt from Brent Baxter for a podcast he runs. I sent him back the lyrics but doubt the podcast will fit into my schedule. Ain't no problem with a party of one Nothin' stoppin' me from havin' some fun Time for date night got nothin' to lose While I'm at it gonna' kick off these shoes I'm stayin' in for a night on the town Someplace quiet with my kinda' crowd Lights just right for makin' memories Of a perfect evening with me Got a hot date with nobody else Time to pour a little somethin' top shelf Settle in at the kitchen counter It's the best kept secret after hours Morning after just to thank myself I think I'll buy myself flowers There's no taxi there's no walk of shame Or next day callin' rememberin' names All my credit cards they're still in my wallet Like Kenny said no shirt or shoes no problem Turn my music up a little bit louder Sneak past Mittens the four legged bouncer Pour me one more ain't nobody countin' Anyone treat me better than me I doubt it Genre Pop Comment by Bernard Dady Home Alone 2021 - so this what happened to Kevin McCallister when he grew up :) 2021-06-20T22:36:30Z Comment by David Easterling 🤔When lonely hold his head up high... Or learning to date oneself before learning to love another? Practical living for sure. So clever it needs to be a hit... So relatable by so many!!!!🙂🎶❤️👏 2021-06-20T15:47:51Z Comment by Claes Even though the music is upbeat, the lyrics convey the bittersweet feelings perfectly. Really well written lyrics, James! 2021-06-20T13:38:09Z Comment by Tamora Wilson This is so cute! Well, I've definitely bought myself flowers before! I have a four legged bouncer, that's for sure. Do plenty of sober solo dates. It's like I'm a responsible version of this song - haha! Enjoyed listening!! 2021-06-18T04:02:40Z Comment by Forest and Dove Very interesting lyrically - are we supposed to feel sorry or happy for the narrator. I like the ambiguity as it gives room for the listener's interpretation. Well done, James! 2021-06-15T09:42:17Z Comment by Dave Schweizer Definately HIT material!!! I gonna play it a bunch of times... Great going James 2021-06-14T17:19:21Z Comment by Erin Wolf Lyrically, this reminds me strongly of "The Benefits of Being Alone" by Rose Cousins with a dash of "Out of Love" by David Myles. Really well done here. Also, how did you know I was planning to buy myself flowers tomorrow? ;) 2021-06-14T04:40:55Z Comment by Music Box Half lonely/half self empowerment and with a great hook.
