  • 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

So...
I went to the mall to get more.
I bought all the gifts from the store
I got all the goods from the ad
I was left just waiting for more.

Cause I have plastic cards,
I have credit.
And I can bring more
Plastic to the house

I filled my plastic home with plastic people
Plastic toys for the children that I don’t have
Plastic toys from the sex shop
Plastic chairs where I can kiss my ass.

And eat the plastic food that's frozen,
What should I taste today?

I have plastic bottles full of soda
I have plastic dreams that bring me nothing
I am just a party doll that's wearing make up
Showing my plastic face to your plastic friends
Serving you pleasure, like a blow-up doll.
Let’s party!

Throwing the plastic plates on the floor
Eating the plastic food from the drawers
Scratching the plastic nails that I put on
There's a plastic sign at the door
But I don't want to live here anymore.

Oh...
I went to the mall to get more.
I bought all the gifts from the store
I got all the goods from the ad
I was left just waiting for more.
