Content

"Wildflower" is a ballad in which the narrator compares the beauty of his wife to a wildflower.

Reception

Roughstock critic Matt Bjorke called it a "sweet, laid-back and romantic ballad." He goes on to say that the "instrumentation is fantastic (and fiddle and mandolin-laced) while Brody's voice - while not 'soaring' like a James Otto or Ronnie Dunn – suits the mood and melody of the song." Stephen Cooke of the Halifax Chronicle-Herald said that the song can also be interpreted as, "a plea for acceptance at a time when bullying and intolerance are a key concern."

Music video

The music video was directed by Jeth Weinrich and premiered in March 2010. The music video was filmed in the Mojave Desert in California.
