Dave Lenahan - "Wildflowers"
Ft. Karree Phillips
Embargoed until 02.11.2026
ABOUT THE SONG:
Country crooner and songwriter Dave Lenahan teams up with powerhouse vocalist and songwriter Karree Phillips on “Wildflowers,” a warm, classic sounding country duet that leans into nostalgia and new love in its purest form.
Wrapped in sun soaked sweetness, the two artists paint a picture of love that’s easy, natural, and free, like wildflowers. Dave opens the song with a lighthearted moment shared between two lovers: “You and me like wildflowers / Blanket on the ground / Laughin’ and lovin’ away the hours / No one else around" t’s a snapshot of when the world fades away. Karree then steps in with a vocal that’s both gentle and powerful, adding depth to the scene as she sings: “Birds are singing, leaves are dancing / In the summer breeze / Soothing waters of the stream / Complete the symphony” Together, they set the tone using familiar country imagery, but it never feels forced. Instead, each lyric feels earned, like a memory you didn’t know you were holding onto. The chorus blooms with the heart of the song: “Young love blooming in the sun / Two hearts beating as one / Talking ’bout forever / How we’ll always be together…”
“Wildflowers” becomes a metaphor for love that grows naturally. It’s untamed, honest, and meant to be.
At its core, “Wildflowers” is a celebration of love in its simplest form. It’s a song for lovers young and old, for summer nights, open fields, and the kind of moments that don’t need anything more than each other.

BIOGRAPHY: DAVE LENAHAN
Dave Lenahan, a seasoned Nashville-based singer-songwriter with roots in Cleveland’s golden era of rock, continues to craft heartfelt narratives that blend his unique fusion of Cleveland rock and Americana.
Raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Lenahan was shaped by legendary artists such as Michael Stanley, Dan Fogelberg, and The Eagles. Beginning guitar at age 11 and sharpening his craft in church choirs and worship bands, he spent four decades in radio before dedicating himself fully to songwriting. As Cincinnati coordinator for the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI), he has co-written hundreds of songs and shared stages with indie and Americana talents at venues like The Bluebird Café and The Listening Room.
His 2023 debut album, Or Something Like That…, introduced his warm, rootsy sound to a broader audience and set the stage for his upcoming concept album Absalom. His project is inspired by a forgotten 19th-century cemetery near his home, a site he helped uncover with the help of fellow songwriters and historical researchers. Songs like the haunting title track “Absalom” and “Father of Peace” have earned Top 10 finalist honors in the World Songwriting Awards.
“Baby I’m Gone,” alongside tracks such as “Die On This Barstool,” “First,” and “Faces in the Glow,” was recorded with Grammy-winning producer Alan Sanderson (Fleetwood Mac, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Fiona Apple, B.B. King, Counting Crows, Elvis Costello, Ziggy Marley, Ryan Adams, Weezer, and The Rolling Stones) in San Diego. The album features collaborations with acclaimed writers including Jessica Nixon, Taylin Rae, and Norm McDonald. Previously recorded by Chancey Williams, “Baby I’m Gone” has become a standout fan favorite and frequent show-closer for Lenahan.
With over 1 million Spotify streams, including the viral “Squirrel Train” by Pamela Hopkins (which reached #1 on Australia’s OZCMR chart), Lenahan’s impact extends beyond music. As host of The Songwriter Connection podcast, winner of the 2024 Elite Music Award for Podcast of the Year, he highlights rising and established songwriters with insight and humor.

You and me like wildflowers
Blanket on the ground
Laughin and Lovin' away the hours
No one else around
Birds are singing leaves are dancing
In the summer breeze
Soothing waters of the stream
Complete the symphony
Young love blooming in the sun
Two hearts beating as one
Talking bout forever
How will always be together
Passion flowers, crimson clover
Honeysuckle April Showers
We're just Wild, Wildflowers
Wildflowers
In fields and by the woods
Wildflowers grow
Leaving seeds and stronger roots
As seasons come and go
Young love blooming in the sun
Two hearts beating as one
Talking bout forever
How will always be together
Passion flowers, crimson clover
Honeysuckle April Showers
We're just Wild, Wildflowers
Wildflowers
April Showers
Smell of honeysuckle fills the air
Forever Together
