Song

[edit]

The song opens with an exotic-sounding flute, subdued verses and a soaring chorus. Some Indonesian spoken parts are heard. Anggun said that "A Rose in the Wind" was her favourite on the album: "It's my real story. It's the most personal song in terms of melody and a perfect example of what you find between Indonesia and the culture here [the West]. Lyrically, it's something in which you can find the different faces of me, of a woman, the weak, the strong, the things that frighten me, my dreams. This is so personal".[1]

One thought on “Cannabaceae

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
