Fresh Flowers 

lightning strikes, thunderbolts in the night
and the helicopters sway across Santa Monica bay, 
everyone's afraid
handmade signs, instructions for curbside wine
thoughts of GTA, who'd notice anyway?
Should we get out, or should we stay?

I find myself holding fresh flowers

having sourdough kisses in the golden hour 
sunflower suede and a mourning dove

a bed left unmade, always in reach of the one i love 
i find myself holding fresh flowers

what's there to say? no work to be found today 
no more work to lose. Just half a bottle of booze and a sky of blue

I find myself holding fresh flowers

having sourdough kisses in the golden hour sunflower suede and a mourning dove

a bed left unmade, always in reach of the one i love 
i find myself holding fresh flowers

Los Angeles, California serves as home base for the concept group called Vitamin String Quartet. The group is made up of studio musicians who are brought together to interpret and record orchestra style covers of music from all types of genres ranging metal, techno, country, pop, rock and hip-hop dance music. While the quartet uses a wide assortment of artists and instruments, one fairly constant member of the group is violinist Tom Tally. Tally has been intimately involved in the composing, arranging and conduction of many songs on approximately 50 of the albums that have been recorded by the group. While the group is referred to as a string quartet, the reality is that more individuals are usually involved, using instruments such as violins, cellos, percussion, brass and woodwinds. The group was originally brought together in 1999 as an experimental project. They wanted to determine the effects of using classical style instruments to create new and different sounds on popular recordings. Early on, the FM broadcast station WWHK in Concord, NH would play the group's music 24 hours a day, every day, for a period of time. The popularity of the group's music has led to the music being featured on TV and in the movies. Credits include So You Think You Can Dance (2008), TV show The Vampire Diaries (2010), the 100th episode of Gossip Girl and the fifth season finale of Modern Family (2014). Throughout the years, the group has been involved in the recording of over 200 different albums. In 2009, the group stepped out of the box a bit and recorded some original material provided by some of the various musicians on the album Per_Versions.
