Barbara Phaneuf – “Emilio’s Flower Song”

For the past week, I’ve been wrapped up in “PURR”, a new musical written by my talented aunt, Barbara Phaneuf. I starred in the first two showings of the play this past weekend and it was a huge success!

After the show, we had an impromptu gathering with drinks and music. The guitar was passed to my aunt, and I was reminded of just how beautiful her folk music is as the whole room sang along to “Emilio’s Flower Song”.

“You only gotta be a flower
Only gotta be a flower
Only gotta be a flower
For this life…

…If you blossom as a weed
Make it glorious indeed
And brighten up the world with color
Brighten up the world with color
Brighten up the world with color
For your life”

Barbara Phaneuf
