Apple Blossom
White Stripes, The · De Stijl
Hey little apple blossom,
What seems to be the problem?
All the ones you tell your troubles to,
They don't really care for you.
Come and tell me what you're thinking,
Cuz just when the boat is sinking,
A little light is blinking,
And I will come and rescue you.
Lots of girls walk around in tears,
But thats not for you.
You've been looking all around for years
For someone to tell your troubles to.
Come and sit with me and talk awhile;
Let me see your pretty little smile.
Put your troubles in a little pile,
And I will sort 'em out for you.
Lots of girls walk around in tears,
But thats not for you.
You've been looking all around for years
For someone to tell your troubles to.
Come and sit with me and talk awhile;
Let me see your pretty little smile.
Put your troubles in a little pile,
And I will sort 'em out for you.
I'll fall in love with you;
I think I'll marry you.

Apple Blossom
Released on the 2001 album De Stijl, 'Apple Blossom' stands as a defining track in the discography of Jack White and The White Stripes. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of blues-infused rock and melodic pop sensibilities, characterized by Jack White's distinctive vocal delivery and the interplay between his guitar work and the rhythm section. As a centerpiece of their early catalog, the recording captures the raw energy and melodic clarity that established their reputation in the indie rock scene. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to balance catchy hooks with a gritty, authentic sound that remains central to their artistic identity.
