about

John Keats: “I can feel the daisies growing over me.”

In 1818, John Keats returned home from a tour of Northern England and Scotland to care for his brother, who had contracted tuberculosis. Unfortunately, Keats’s brother died in December of that year and by that time Keats himself had contracted the disease and knew that his death was imminent. Following his doctor’s orders to seek a warm climate for the winter, Keats traveled to Rome with his friend, the painter Joseph Severn. Keats recovered briefly for Christmas but on January 10, 1819, his health took a final turn for the worst and Keats was unable to leave his bedroom. Just before Keats’s death, Severn asked the poet how he was doing, to which Keats quietly replied, “Better, my friend. I feel the daisies growing over me.” Keats died in Severn’s arms on February 23, 1821, at the age of twenty-five.

lyrics

I Can Feel the Daisies Growing Over Me

Do you feel this way
I don’t feel so safe these days
I’ve been around long enough to notice you

Why does this feel so strange
You have been here before
You know this game
Do you know my name?

I don’t know what I did last night
Do you too

If you could smile and share a few stories
About those nights

All my friends are gone these days
Some are dead
Told a lie so I wouldn’t stay
I’m tired today

In the end you’ve got no one
Save a round
Your words are weak
No ones left
For you

I have a hard time sticking to one genre, but it generally boils down to Doom, Ambient, and occasionally some folk.
