Everyday Goodbyes and Farewells....

If you only knew, what I went through now my day is through...

So this page is pretty much done with. I'll still respond to e-mails and give you the live songs in my inventory and what not, but this page is over. I've been digging the internet to find anything for the rare live Kara's Flower's songs, but I came to no luck. I found out that the person who originally made the Simple Kind of Lovely fan page quit because she didn't like the direction Maroon (at the time) were going and none of the members besides Mickey said thank you for helping them get gigs and maintaining the fan site. I realized she had a point. Kara's Flowers had a lot going with Stagg Street Recordings. Songs About Jane was good. But they've gone "backwards". Their newer material is a lot simpler in my opinion. Their newest promotional single, It Was Always You, is very simple. I tabbed out the song and it's only four chords. SOAP DISCO WAS MORE SOPHISTICATED THAN THE NEW SONG!!! SOAP DISCO!!!! It saddens me that their will most likely never be a Kara's Flowers 20th Anniversary CD or something like that. They've since moved on to four chord songs to appeal to more audiences. As markwakinghours said back when they were changing their style and name to Maroon,

"They have lost many old fans and gained many new fans so I guess as far as they are concerned they have what they need... fans. As long as they don't lose all the fans they don't care, right?"

I guess that's true. So I'm going to stop updating this page unless Maroon 5 announces something about Kara's Flowers (5% chance at best). I've put days of my life into this website, trying to get the facts straight and making everything about Kara's Flowers more accessible (I tried my best, but I never got a hold on how to organize the web page). My work here is done. I still hope Maroon 5 can go back to their old roots and stop with the dance pop, but that's not the case. You bet I'm going to buy their new album V. But somebody needs to remind Adam Levine or any the band members about the first song on their first demo ever, Peeler. If what they say is true that song is about Adam Levine saying he would never sell out, then...*sigh*

- edit (8-1-14): It also sucks that one of the members (I think Ryan) dismissed Stagg Street and The Fourth World only about two years after Stagg Street Recordings was released.....

NOT THE ALBUM COVER!

 

 




Despite what some may think, the picture to the right is not the album cover. It's not from the same era as when Stagg Street Recordings was recorded. If you go to the Kara's Flowers Reprise Website and go to photo archive, and click on the picture "glitter" you'll find the same picture, but in better quality.
