Bauhaus’ Peter Murphy and Boy George Duet on New Song “Let the Flowers Grow”: Listen

Music


BauhausPeter Murphy and Culture Club singer Boy George have joined forces for a new song. “Let the Flowers Grow,” said Murphy in a press release, came about when he was in Spain working on a new album and heard a piece of music playing on producer Youth’s phone. “It caught my ear for its melodic beauty as well as a Roy Orbison–like voice that sang the song,” he said. Upon learning that it was a Boy George demo, he came up with the version that became “Let the Flowers Grow.” Take a listen below.

Boy George added, “When I heard the mix, I was satiated in every way. I have always loved Pete’s voice and his writing on this adds a beautiful darkness. The production feels very epic, like Scott Walker.”

The pair first met decades ago, when Boy George went backstage to meet Howard Devoto at a Magazine show that Bauhaus were supporting. “He struck me as a super-original, self-styled 17th-century fop,” Murphy said in the press release. “The second time I met him was when we walked into the BBC to do ‘Ziggy Stardust’ on Top of the Pops where Culture Club were also making their debut on the show. George greeted me very warmly and I discovered he was a Bauhaus fan.”
