"This song just had too many words for an album that was meant to evoke a desolate landscape… not enough space to convey that kind of feeling …. The title comes from Jay DeFeo’s monumental painting The Rose. I’ve seen it and it radiates a light borne from a lifetime of devoted labor, it’s exquisite, please check it out if ya ever get the chance … the words are quite auto-biographical and personal, it feels like a self portrait…the music was inspired by (though sounds absolutely nothing like) the Commodores' "Night Shift". I’ve always been quite moved by how that song feels like a Hollywood montage, someone listening to Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson on the radio while they’re working the dreaded nightshift, (it might actually be about them playing shows but I like to picture it this way) something about the sweetly sad propulsive groove always gets me…. Anyways, I was damn sad to omit this one but thrilled to be releasing it on the one year anniversary of Flying Wig! Thanks for listening!"

Loved you since your early work. You still got it man.. I'd love to hear a T-Rex cover one day. Perhaps Cosmic dancer.. Both masters of vocal vibrato. ❤😊❤ Love from Scotland
