Country spitfire Miranda Lambert’s new-ish single “Dead Flowers” is a stunner, a slow-burn lament over a relationship that’s calcified into little more than wondering just when the good times ended. The clip for “Flowers” uses the metaphors with which Lambert describes her love’s slow decay—dead flowers, burnt-out Christmas lights, hurricane winds—very literally, although I do wonder if a large reason behind that was because of the way her blonde tresses just go insane when the wind machine (representing the aforementioned gale-force gusts) is turned on them. Clip after the jump.
