Bauhaus<\/a>\u2019 Peter Murphy<\/a> and Culture Club singer Boy George<\/a> have joined forces for a new song. \u201cLet the Flowers Grow<\/a>,\u201d said Murphy in a press release, came about when he was in Spain working on a new album and heard a piece of music playing on producer Youth\u2019s phone. \u201cIt caught my ear for its melodic beauty as well as a Roy Orbison\u2013like voice that sang the song,\u201d he said. Upon learning that it was a Boy George demo, he came up with the version that became \u201cLet the Flowers Grow.\u201d Take a listen below.<\/p>\n Boy George added, \u201cWhen I heard the mix, I was satiated in every way. I have always loved Pete\u2019s voice and his writing on this adds a beautiful darkness. The production feels very epic, like Scott Walker.\u201d<\/p>\n The pair first met decades ago, when Boy George went backstage to meet Howard Devoto at a Magazine show that Bauhaus were supporting. \u201cHe struck me as a super-original, self-styled 17th-century fop,\u201d Murphy said in the press release. \u201cThe second time I met him was when we walked into the BBC to do \u2018Ziggy Stardust\u2019 on Top of the Pops<\/em> where Culture Club were also making their debut on the show. George greeted me very warmly and I discovered he was a Bauhaus fan.\u201d<\/p>\n
