Background

From the video biography, [2]

Flowers Forever is a project that surfaced a few months back in a string of strange events that occurred in my life. It's an outlet of performance, music, painting, video, and spirituality.

It's about self-expression and freeing yourself from the start/stop, beginning/end, A/B, morning/night of everything.
It's about trying to comprehend the idea of just being, always have been, and always will be.

Tap into the current and let it rush over you.

Bone, teeth, dirt

<i>Summer in Paradise</i> 1992 studio album by The Beach Boys

Summer in Paradise is the twenty-seventh studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released on August 3, 1992 by Brother Records. Produced by Terry Melcher, it is the only album not to feature any new contributions from Brian Wilson, and has been regarded as the band's critical and commercial low point, failing to chart in either the US or UK and receiving almost unanimously negative reviews. In North America, it was the group's first album to only be released on CD and Cassette, with only a rare vinyl pressing which was released in South Korea. The Beach Boys did not record another album of original material until That's Why God Made the Radio in 2012. Summer in Paradise was left out of Capitol's Beach Boys CD reissue campaign of 2000 to 2001, as well as all other reissues for most of the group's discography. Both it and its predecessor, Still Cruisin', are currently out of print.
