Melding pop and lush folk appeal, “Flowers Grow In The Saddest Parts” is a new track from Silver Lake. The duo — based in The Hague, Netherlands — draw from both modern production and ’60s folk-pop nostalgia, propelled by the gripping vocals of Marleen Hoebe and stirring arrangements from Jesse Koch. They describe the track as “about navigating the feelings of guilt and insecurity that can arise when supporting a loved one who is struggling with depression.”
Comforting guitars and piano complement vocals that aspire for “a nice place to be,” ascending into a moving hook — lamenting “I forgot to let you in,” as the title-touting culmination satiates. The burst of guitars in the “heavy heart,” rise plays with climactic engrossment, as does the gorgeous bridge past the two-minute mark. There, wordless vocal enchantments align with trickling guitars for an effervescent, melodic appeal. Approachable and replay-inducing, “Flowers Grow In The Saddest Parts” is a heartfelt showcase from Silver Lake.
