  • Sheet Music + Digital Album

    A piece of the history behind the composition, as a collector's item: You get one of the draft prints of the libretto and score. These are full of annotations in pencil by the composer, they are the actual working copies that testify the progress of the composition, with coffee stains and all. I make a lot of notes with color pencils, for easier reference. The result can be quite interesting visually.

    Bound in red yarn and wrapped in plastic. Each original is unique and you'll be able to compare your exclusive draft to the final version on the book. Super cool. There are only 8 of these, they have been numbered chronologically. First come first serve.

about

Plastic Flowers - Concert Premiere.
Recorded Live. Dec 17th 2012.
New York - Engelman Recital Hall
Music and Libretto by Joao MacDowell

lyrics

Then I met you in the Summer
Like someone who comes from nothing
You never gave me fancy gifts
Nor did you ask many questions

You just took me by the hand
And led me to the bed
You just seemed so undeniable
That I thought it was love at last...

So I thought it was love at last...
And I put on a wedding dress
Oh, my pretty wedding dress…
And in the church I did say yes.

I keep thinking about the moment when I first saw you
You were so handsome
You were so tall
You were like a tower
And I was so small

I keep thinking about the past,
Thinking about the future.
Thinking about my mother.
Thinking about my father.

Thinking about you,
Holding my hand at the movies
Touching my thighs in the dark room,
Thinking about the taste of your kiss...

Oh, how I felt I looked so pretty
In my white dress…
Oh, my pretty wedding dress…
Oh, my silly wedding dress…

And I spilled wine on my dress
But you did not seem to mind that.
