Song/Tech: "(Nothing but) Flowers" - Talking Heads (1998)
This Song/Tech is a bit unusual - it's about a post-apocalyptic world with NO technology. It comes from the 1988 Talking Heads album, Naked. In the song, Byrne laments about the loss of the 'modern' things that once stood on the land - factories/malls, etc, that are now covered only with flowers.
If this is paradise/I wish I had a lawnmower
It can be described as the answer song to Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi" - which is a lament about technology taking over open land.
