Slowly Unfold from Characters by Flo Perlin
Flo describes a woman who paints the many parts within herself, in a raw and honest manner. Through her creativity she slowly starts to “unfold”, revealing the unconscious. Creativity as a way of communicating has been a big part of Flo’s life from a young age and Slowly Unfold articulates the freedom that often comes with understanding.

Lyrics
She painted brown
She painted blue and green, she painted pictures of her family that were never seen
Ohhh when she passed nineteen
She painted brown
She painted blue and gold, she painted pictures of the stories that were never told
Ohhhh they would slowly unfold
Oh eh oh oh oh they would slowly unfold
Oh oh oh oh they would slowly un
She took her time
She stayed up late at night, she had her fathers hands she wrote
So she could understand
Ohhh well she'd never really know
She swam away
She's learning front crawl in the day, she had her mothers knees
She never really cared to please
Ohhh, she would slowly unfold
Oh eh oh oh oh she would slowly unfold
Oh eh oh oh oh she would slowly unfold
Oh oh oh oh she would slowly unfold
Oh oh oh oh she would slowly unfold
Oh oh oh oh she would slowly un
She painted brown
She painted blue and green she painted pictures of her family that were never seen
Ohhh when she passed nineteen
