This is a song by Stevie Wonder from his 1979 soundtrack called the secret life of plants. This album was a departure from his classic pop music like the song from songs in the Key of life, which was his most commercially successful album. This is my favorite song by Stevie Wonder when it comes to his voice I love how he sounds on his version. Please go take a listen if you don't know the song...
Of course the song has themes of nature & flower but it also has themes of Greek mythology, particularly Pan who is a Greek god of the wild. To me flowers is of course, soft and feminine and pan being half goat and more rustic is a little bit of the masculine so
I wanted to do something that kinda reminds me of a duet between my agile feminine falsetto and the depth and color of my baritone. The arrangement is pretty much the same but I played around with the melody, harmonies, and ad lib my way. I think it gives it a unique sound while honoring the original piece.
I hope you enjoy.
Lyrics
Doo, ooh ooh
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Pan is my name
I live outside the door
I have to keep the score of things around you
Fire and air
With water I prepare
I am the piper at the gates of dawning
It's not magic, it's not madness
Just the elements I style
And I guarantee faithfully I will never go
Until all is said and done
In a twinkling I'll be gone
Well, excuse me, I have so much more to do
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo ooh, ooh
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Fancy I feel
A childlike tap I'll steal
Look twice, my friend, it's not the wind at all
You'll never see
What you refuse to be
The power in the seeing is believing
It's not magic, it's not madness
Just the elements I style
And I guarantee faithfully I will never go
Until all is said and done
In a twinkling I'll be gone
Well, excuse me, I have so much more to do
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo ooh, ooh
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo
Ooh, it's not magic, it's not madness
Just the elements I style
And I guarantee faithfully I will never go
Until all is said and done
In a twinkling I'll be gone
Well, excuse me, I have so much more to do
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo ooh, ooh
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo
Flower power, flower power, flower power, flower of love
Flower power, flower power, flower power, flower of love
Flower power, flower power, flower power, flower of love
Flower power, flower power, flower power, flower of love
He's a power flower yeah, oh (flower power, flower power, flower power, flower of love)
Protecting all the flowers, yeah, oh (flower power, flower power, flower power, flower of love)
He's a flower's power yeah, hey, yeah (flower power, flower power, flower power, flower of love)
Through earth, wind, fire, showers, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh (flower power, flower power, flower power, flower of love)
He's a flower's power, yeah, oh (flower power, flower power, flower power, flower of love)
Protect the flowers, yeah, oh (flower power, flower power, flower power, flower of love)
Flower power, flower power, flower power, flower of love
Flower power, flower power, flower power, flower of love
Also here is the slowed down version of these beautiful flowers
