"Don't Bring Flowers" is a song by the Swedish singer-songwriter Erik Hassle. It was released in the United Kingdom on 23 August 2009 as the first single from his first album, ''Pieces (Erik Hassle album), Pieces''. The song peaked at number 11 in Denmark and at number 25 in Sweden. Reception David Balls of the British entertainment website ''Digital Spy'' said the song captures the greatness of Scandinavian pop music. He gave the song four stars (out of five) and wrote, "Over a minimalist-yet-epic synth backdrop, Hassle urges: "Don't bring flowers after I'm dead, save your givings for the living instead." Slightly morbid message aside, it's his vocals, unique and full of pleading innocence, that really stand out. We'll be keeping an eye on this one."
