The song is from Bryan’s new album ’11’. I found this video on Youtube. It’s not the music video. The notes say:

    Well, just another character-video.
    This time it’s Mandy Moore playing Bonney Delilah Graham in a “Heroes”-RPG.

    Music: “Flower Grown Wild” by Bryan Adams

    Hope you like and enjoy it a bit^^

Two months ago I read about another song that has been dedicated to Savannah by The Okkervil River band called “Savannah Smiles”.

From lvrj.com:

    One of them, “Flower Grown Wild,” was inspired by the 1994 suicide of the porn star known as Savannah. “What a sad story,” he says. “I wrote the lyrics for that a long time ago” after reading a piece in Rolling Stone. “It never really turned into a song. Then a piece of music came in, and I sort of married the two together.”





“Flower Grown Wild” lyrics

She was the girl in the very front row
Always waitin’ after the show
She was the queen of the hollywood hills
Knew the stars, the bars, the pimps and pills
Somebody’s climbin’ on a greyhound tonight
Too much lipstick and her dress real tight
Looks like a woman but she ain’t quite
No, not quite

She’s somebody’s baby
She’s somebody’s mother’s child
She may look like a lady
But she’s just a flower grown wild

They never knew you by your childhood name
But they were drawn to you like moths to a flame
Nobody saw the tears in your silk n’ lace
Or the scarred little kid behind your face
Just remember when you hold her tight
What you’re holding in your arms tonight
She’s no angel, but that’s alright
Ya that’s alright

She’s somebody’s baby
She’s somebody’s mother’s child
She may look like a lady
But she’s just a flower grown wild

Just another little pretty thing
Another angel with a broken wing
Who fell to earth ‘neath the hollywood hills
Amid the stars and the bars, the pimps and pills

Just like the girl on the movie screen
She played it up until the very last scene
The picture faded and the day was done
Went home to nothin but a loaded gun

Somebody’s climbing on a greyhound tonight
A little angel flyin’ out of sight
Looks like a woman but she ain’t quite
No, not quite
