This song is dedicated to my grandmother. She holds a tradition of putting flowers on our family's graves for Memorial Day. Each year we'd fill coffee cans full of irises, peonies, poppies and day lilies. I loved this whole process from start to finish. I loved being in a cemetery, adorning the graves, feeling like we are taking care of the spirits of those who aren't with us anymore. Every year we'd wander the graveyard looking for one grave: her name was Viola. I thought that was the coolest name ever. She wasn't related to us, but my grandmother knew she was a lone woman and had been friends with her so it was a tradition to put flowers on her grave too. But the thing was, we could never find her grave, so we wandered the graveyard every year, with my grandmother talking about each grave, folks she knew, often saying, "Oh right, it's just over here now, " but every year it was the same, waltzing around this beautiful graveyard with coffee cans full of flowers.
