Thanks again to Carol Anne Standen for the suggestion!

I had two other contenders. The first I took with this in mind:
“When you're feeling lonely, lost and let down
Seems like those dark skies are following you around
And life's just one big shade of gray
You wonder if you'll see the light of day
Behind the clouds, the sun is shining
Believe me, even though you can't quite make it out
You may not see the silver linin'
But there's a big blue sky waiting right behind the clouds…”
Behind The Clouds by Brad Paisley
(Thanks to Danielle Rodgers for the idea!)

The second one I took while I had the phrase 'cornflower blue' going on in my head, but never really grasping, which song it belongs to. I do know that when Barney gets cold feet in HIMYM he tries to get out of there by using is cornflower blue! cornflower blue! tie that he seems to desperately need. But that's not the phrase that was going round my head. Cannot seem to find it...

Gosh, I had no idea about the poppy industry history... Your image is so beautiful and does not convey this sinister backstory at all. Thank you for educating us, Laney!
