Miranda Lambert: Dead Flowers
“n telling of a dying relationship where two lovers have somehow drifted to two very different places, Lambert brings together the edginess she’s known for with the directness and hooks that make songs memorable. “I’m living in a hurricane/All he can say is man, ain’t it such a nice day,” she sings, painting a portrait of contentment disturbed that is sad in a way that extends far beyond mood. This is a portrait of true sadness. And does it ever sting.” Jim Malec, Country Music 9513
