rose by J.S. Terry
rose (noun) - a thing representing or resembling the flower, in particular.
roses,or flowers in general, are beautiful in the sense that they live and die before your eyes, you see their entire life happen over the course of weeks or months. it's true beauty to see something not only grow but also wither away for you have seen every intimate detail of that living things life.
roses are so beautiful and look so welcoming, yet they have a defense, thorns protruding to keep them safe. i think that is very telling and that is why i have always been fond of roses, because we are so much alike one another.
this album comes from a place of growing and bettering myself. there are many flaws with rose but it is a piece of me as a writer and a musician, and it's flaws are my flaws. it was entirely self recorded in various bedrooms.
what you hear is me trying to replicate the beauty of rose through sound and words and i hope that is what has been accomplished here through these songs.
i love you all, and i can not thank you enough for listening.
without further ado, i present
rose
