Jackson Wise this album absolutely kills me. Jonah Terry paints very concrete images through every song that brings along warm, loving, soft feelings that will pierce your heart and make you want to cry of joy. Not only are the melodies phenomenal, the lyrics are some of the most beautiful words i have read in a long time. If there is a God, let is bless you with this album. i'm crying Favorite track: dress.

fall asleep when the moon comes up you're crying like a new born baby i know your daddy don't like me but you never listen to him anyway and i think about your lips a lot and i think about your words sometimes you speak like a poet sometimes you speak just to be heard and flowers don't know if they're people or plants they just grow and then die does that sound familiar to your plans and i'm always wondering if you're thinking about dying i miss pushing back your red hair i hate how you alway lies about things i wish you didn't lie about you talk an awful lot about god but i can tell that you're not friends it hurts that you up and left after working your way into all of my plans

baby in your red dress you look like a flower baby you look your best stepping out the shower and i love the way you talk quietly in the night asking for something to make you feel alive and baby with your thick hips looking at me with those brown eyes and baby with your pink lips telling all those white lies and i love the way you talk quietly in the night asking for something to make you feel alive

soft eyes shine bioluminescent in the dark and i can't read without my glasses on but i'm close enough to read your eyes and there's just enough light from the moon tomorrow you will walk alone in the streets looking for a place with something to eat that won't upset your fragile stomach you always get sick when you get to nervous and i miss you coming home drunk smelling like cigarettes i miss you trying to speak high school level french i think about you wearing your lace as you danced and how you were happiest with flowers in your hands and how i could still be your man and those young kids with run through the streets with capitalistic dreams of too much money but i find it hard to buy into materialistic things and i guess that's why we can never be the same and i dream of long nights trying to find the right way to sleep so i can hear everytime that your heart would beat oh, i wanna be everything you need oh, i wanna be everything you need and i miss you coming home drunk smelling like cigarettes i miss you trying to speak high school level french i think about you wearing your lace as you danced and how you were happiest with flowers in your hands

about

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
