Backstory:
Utter Flower is an enigmatic three-piece band founded in the heart of London in 2015. The band members, lead vocalist and guitarist Leo Miller, bassist Holly Green, and drummer Max Thompson, met at a local music festival and quickly discovered their shared love for obscure rock, modern folk, and the art of storytelling through music. After a couple of late-night jam sessions in a chilly garage, Utter Flower was born. The trio endeavored to create a sound that was unique and emotionally profound, aiming not just to entertain listeners but to touch their souls and evoke emotions that only music can elicit.
The journey of Utter Flower has been marked by a steady stream of growth and development. Their first EP, “Blossom in Silence,” struck a chord with listeners across the UK, leading to a national tour that solidified their place in the British indie music scene. With their thought-provoking lyrics and raw, earthy sound, Utter Flower stands as a profound testament to the power of music to transcend the conventional.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am G F C
Underneath the petals, we found our sacred space,
Am G F C
In the heart of utter silence, we found our saving grace.
(Chorus)
Am G F C
Don’t let go, don’t let the bloom wither away,
Am G F C
Hold onto the roots, let the utter flower sway.
(Verse 2)
Am G F C
Beneath the moonlit garden, we sowed our secret dreams,
Am G F C
In the whispers of the night, we stitched our broken seams.
(Chorus)
Am G F C
Don’t let go, don’t let the bloom wither away,
Am G F C
Hold onto the roots, let the utter flower sway.
(Bridge)
Am G F C
Through storms and sunshine, we’ll grow together,
Am G F C
Like an utter flower, resilient in all weather.
(Chorus)
Am G F C
Don’t let go, don’t let the bloom wither away,
Am G F C
Hold onto the roots, let the utter flower sway.
