Trees and Flowers

Thanks to Kevin Wacknov for the sound check. When I first heard this song, I thought it was about depression. More specifically, it’s about agoraphobia. The song helps me understand what those affected go through. I came to it via a Dum Dum Girls cover. My debut of the rumba strum. I checked out some rumba strum tutorials but had to adapt the strum to my fingers-down thumb-up strumming technique that no one else used. I took a break from rumba to provide single-down strums for the ba ba ba sections. I used the open F with a high C to get some voice leading to the Dm7. Maintaining a steady rumba strum through the song’s length was a challenge.
