about

New single out by Jenn Cleary of the classic rock tune, "The Rose".

“The Rose” was written by Amanda McBroom and famously covered by Bette Midler for the soundtrack of the 1979 film The Rose, in which it plays under the closing credits. Loosely based on the life of Janis Joplin, the film follows a self-destructive rock star in the late 1960s, who struggles to cope with the pressures of her career and the demands of her ruthless business manager.

Jenn brings a fresh take and performs “The Rose” strumming her warm, cedar-topped Breedlove acoustic guitar. She is joined by some of Colorado’s most talented musicians: Christian Teele on drums, Chris Engleman on bass, Eric Moon on keys, and John McVey on electric guitar and background vocals. Produced and mixed by John McVey of Cinder Sound Studios and mastered by Anna Frick of Ally Sound.

lyrics

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you it’s only seed

It’s the heart, afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It’s the dream, afraid of waking
That never, takes the chance
It’s the one, who won’t be taken
Who cannot, seem to give
And the soul, afraid of dying
That never learns to live

INSTRUMENTAL

When the night has, been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the suns love
In the spring becomes the r
