about

Roses was an experiment of mine. I had the symphony track, I cut it and looped the same 20-odd seconds over and over, then had a drum beat and backing tracks that build across half the song. I then recorded the vocal track in a single take, improvising all the lyrics. My only bitch about this song is I went back and did a backing vocal track and hid it away in the left channel and it sounds like fucking hell, but oh well.

lyrics

There's flowers on yellow stones
Glistening in sunlight shining down
Likes beams of radiance and copulence abound
Your hands are making shapes
Pictures in the moonlight evening
Darling, this is no time for an argument of gesture
Just be mine, I'll be yours forever
And one more day if you play your cards right
This day doesn't have to end
We can stay here just holding hands
Until you win it, steps outside the church while it is on fire
We're breaking away from life
And giving this one try
All we've got is each other in a parallel divide
I can't keep singing loud enough
For all the chaplins and the priest
Can all together sing a perfect harmony
So just let us leave
Take only what you need my dear
We're going to find roses there
On yellow stone walls
But now they're on your grave
My dear, I miss your face
Why did this ever happen in the first place?
