Track 2: Alone with A Rose

This song is about being let down; plain and simple. About getting your hopes up and having them crash down, broken promises, and in result having to spend the rest of the day sulking. The latter of which I did a lot of in July of 2007; long story. Anyways, it's crazy (for me) that the song ended up with a happy chord progression, because more or less, it's our saddest song. Originally the song was meant for piano with no guitar (say what?!) but eventually the idea got scrapped after I realised I could do really crunchy 60's style guitar, which I'm a sucker for.

Lyrics to Alone with A Rose:

It was a perfect day
Till you threw our plans out the door
I woke up with a smile
And the thought that I’d see you once more
I thought I had told you I need you
And that I love to see you smile

I had a rose in my hand
That I had picked just for you
It was your favourite colour
And the best from where they grew
Then it turns out you can’t make it
I’m alone with a rose in my hand

But and I should be with you
There’s so much we could do
I’m alone with a rose in my hand

It was a perfect day
Till you through our plans out the door
I woke up with a smile
And the thought that I’d see you once more
I thought I had told you I need you
And that I love to see you smile
