They started as a duo, with their first gig together being an open mic at a church. The duo became a trio and started playing anything from house parties, to bars, to coffee shops, to open mics. Things started moving fast as the release of 'We Bring Anything to the Table.. Except Tables, We Can't Bring Tables to the Table', garnered unexpected attention. They have continued playing and noticed a growth in their audience throughout the years since.
With a very loyal and supportive fan base, and with their latest record, 'For Today, For Tomorrow, For What Is, For What Could've Been', the group is reaching new heights and new territory that has been seen inconceivable for any Latino coming out of the San Gabriel Valley.
Flowers
The Red Pears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leave them on my grave
The day I die will soon come fast
We'll never get to play
But if you want it
If it's right
I'll never leave this place
It takes some time
That everything's the same
For you
You know times are true
They take what from who?
You know times are true
The Red Pears's song Flowers is a contemplative track that touches upon themes of loss, remembrance, and the fleeting nature of life. The lyrics "Bring me all your favorite flowers, leave them on my grave" gives the impression that the song is addressing the topic of death. The following line "The day I die will soon come fast, we'll never get to play" reinforces this sentiment. The song's bittersweet sentimentality continues as the singer contemplates their life, stating "It takes some time to realize that everything's the same," which is a reminder that time moves on even when we don't want it to. There is also a sense of acceptance within the song's message in the line "I'll never leave this place," which could be interpreted as a way of finding solace in the idea of returning to nature.
The song's lyrics give off a melancholic tone, and the repetition of the phrase "You know times are true" emphasizes this tone further. This line could be interpreted in different ways, such as reminding us of the cyclical nature of life or the inevitability of death. The song's beauty lies in its ability to evoke emotion and encourage us to reflect on our own mortality while also leaving room for hope and acceptance.

Bring me all your favorite flowers
Please bring all your beloved flowers for me
Leave them on my grave
You can keep those flowers on my burial ground
The day I die will soon come fast
The day of my demise will arrive shortly
We'll never get to play
We won't have the chance to enjoy ourselves anymore
But if you want it
However, if you wish to have it
If it's right
If it is correct
I'll never leave this place
I will never abandon this spot
It takes some time
You need to take some time
To realize
To comprehend
That everything's the same
That everything remains unaltered
For you
As far as you're concerned
You know times are true
You understand that circumstances are accurate
They take what from who?
What do they take from whom?
You know times are true
You understand that circumstances are accurate
