“Flowers in the Window” by Travis
“Flowers in the Window” by Travis appears on 3 radio countdowns from 1 station between 2002 and 2004. Its best result is #9 on the Virgin Radio Top 10 Songs of 2002. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #554 alternative song of 2002 and #7,711 alternative song of all time.
"Flowers in the Window" closed out the singles from The Invisible Band, Travis's third album from 2001, going out on Independiente on 25 March 2002 as the third and last, but the song was older than the record. Fran Healy wrote it during the sessions for The Man Who, the 1999 album before it, and found the title while gazing at the flower garden of the British engineer Mike Hedges. It's about as sunny and unguarded as Travis ever sounded.
It entered the UK chart at 18 and climbed no further, reached 35 in Ireland and also charted in Australia, Germany and Switzerland, and several formats of the single tucked in a live cover of the Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun".
