about

Marigolds is channeled by MJ Noble's Mexican ancestry. The song was written in contemplation of love, loss, grief, and faith in the eternal spirit, an unending force of love. The Mexican cultural significance of the Marigold flower as a symbol for life, death, and the eternal spirit predates Spanish colonial influence and can be traced back to the Aztec myth of the lovers Xótchitl and Huitzilin.

MJ's vocals can be interpreted to represent Xótchitl, who is turned into the marigold bud by the god Tonatiuh. The flute can then represent Huitzilin when he returns to Xótchitl as a hummingbird, drinking her nectar, when she finally blooms into the Marigold flower: The love now eternal for all time.

lyrics

if i never love again
if i disappear tonight
i should be satisfied
my heart broke open wide
maybe i've had my time

until i perish from this earth
i'll hold this space
in my heart, my heart
that place where passion is born
and melodies soar
inside my heart

that's one thing
they can't take from me
take it all! take it all!
but my heart is free
and i will be loved
if the sun grows cold
i will be blooming
like marigolds
marigolds

one thing
they can't take from me
take it all! take it all!
but my heart is free
and i will be loved
if the sun grows cold
i will be blooming
like marigolds
marigolds
