"Flowers in the Rain" is a song by English rock band the Move. The song was released as a single and reached number two in 1967 on the UK Singles Chart,[2] and number four in Ireland.
The song was written by the Move's guitarist/vocalist Roy Wood. As with many of Wood's early songs, the basis of "Flowers in the Rain" was a book of fairy tales which Wood authored while at The Moseley College of Art.[3] The distinctive instrumental arrangement, including oboe, clarinet, cor anglais, and French horn, was suggested by assistant producer Tony Visconti.[4]
