rosie Incredible album. Each track is amazing in its own way - some highlights are Something Good, Flatline, Backup, Through the Glass, I Dream, The Seams. Hard to pick a fav! Through the Glass has me right now - emotional and epic. That bridge! But Something Good's hook really lingers. Favorite track: Through the Glass.

Like Heroes 00:47
You’re going overboard How can you know it’s for the good You talk like heroes You talk like heroes You’re out beyond the shore How will you go just where you should You talk like heroes You talk like heroes

Arise, I see it coming Alive, your body’s humming You bleed just like I do You breath just so, and I do My lane keeps on changing The same walls keep chasing You hold them back You draw the right map for me You’re sitting off alone This far away I still know There’s something good Take off what weighs you down Here’s something good I found Just cause I want to sing it Because no reason not to shout it You could say I’m ridiculous I might as well be more or less You’re sitting off alone This far away I still know There’s something good Take off what weighs you down Here’s something good I found something good There’s something good Take off what weighs you down Here’s something good I found

Flatline 03:28
Some people don’t seem to care Some people won’t give their time Some people don’t feel the same Somehow they can turn their face Give me the world to save Give me the world to save Cause they all sleep at night, no eyes that cry Well I think seeing the truth is better, to feel inside I wonder what gets them going, what breaks behind Cause breaking down breaking down is better than a flat-line I’m seeing Seems to me awful sad See how they brush it off See how everyone gives less They keep all their goods – the best So give me the world to save Give me the world to save Cause they all sleep at night, no eyes that cry Well I think seeing the truth is better, to feel inside I wonder what gets them going, what breaks behind Cause breaking down breaking down is better than a flat-line You better find, you better find What you know to be right You better find, you better find What you hold to be right You better find, you better find Cause they all sleep at night, no eyes that cry Well I think seeing the truth is better, to feel inside I wonder what gets them going, what breaks behind Cause breaking down breaking down is better than a flat-line (Go on, off the line – go feel it)

You hang your head down You hate this stupid town It’s too bad no one knows who you really are The world we live in, don’t fight you won’t win You want it easy, so you just drown there You run away no fight You wanna go somewhere you already have a name You don’t even seem ashamed You act so innocent Like you don’t understand how You built it up and then you lit the match and laid the blame for burning We jumped aboard whole We brought our hands full It’s too bad you don’t know who you really are So easy just to pass, you never owned or asked Then you just play us off Who told you life was fair You run away no fight You wanna go somewhere you already have a name You don’t even seem ashamed You act so innocent Like you don’t understand how You built it up and then you lit the match and Where’s the fighting? Where’s the fighting?... Where’s your fight? You run away no fight You wanna go somewhere you already have a name You don’t even seem ashamed You act so innocent Like you don’t understand how You built it up and then you lit the match and You run away no fight You run away no fight….

I feel like the child that was left behind I feel like I always come last each time I know it’s the way you see through the glass I know you believe I am more than that I hear the music I wanna bring to you I’m finding my way, running in for you I wanna ride, the melody flies It opens wide to me I run out of words that I never had I close down the moment I think I lack You always can look at me through the glass You always believe I am more than that I hear the music I wanna bring to you I’m finding my way, running in for you I wanna ride, the melody flies It opens wide to me Let in the colors I’ve grown Let show the colors – my own You saw the fire bring me down You put the seeds back in the ground I hear the music I wanna bring to you I’m finding my way, running in for you I wanna ride, the melody flies It opens wide to me I hear the music I wanna bring to you I’m finding my way, running in for you I wanna ride, the melody flies It opens wide to me

I Dream 03:05
If I could be stronger If I could be sure like others do I’d let the hunger fill out like it wants to Oh I’d like to Break down the words that never seem to make right I wanna say (let it fill you) Yell like there’s no one there to hear the sound The song I’d make (let it fill you) And I’d begin right where I find the space (let it fill you) And I’d breathe again, leave the fear in its place A million to one hand A mountain of chances here to sift If I could take one step, go up where the vision lifts Oh I’d like to Break down the words that never seem to make right I wanna say (let it fill you) Yell like there’s no one there to hear the sound The song I’d make (let it fill you) And I’d begin right where I find the space (let it fill you) And I’d breathe again, leave the fear in its place (let it fill you) Begin again right where I find the space (let it fill you) And I’d breathe again, leave the fear in its place (let it fill you) I dreamed I rose above the city skies (let it fill you) I dream I sing until the end will rise (let it fill you) I dreamed I rose above the city skies (let it fill you) I dream I sing until the end will rise (let it fill you) I dream I sing until the end will rise

Backup 03:32
Look where you’ve been, see what you got Maybe you find you’ve got none on the table, just you if you’re able Better back up, draw a new plan, Better be careful with none on the table, fold if you’re able Maybe you’re right I’m just wasting time (I’m) willing to fight I’m across the line (I) don’t have a choice it’s all that I am (I) don’t really know how the story ends But I sing You mean all the best, you always make sense I know you believe what you say is the right thing, It’s probably the right thing I’d say all the same, walk out of the game If I didn’t know I’d end up feeling like nothing Without this one thing Maybe you’re right I’m just wasting time (I’m) willing to fight I’m across the line (I) don’t have a choice it’s all that I am (I) don’t really know how the story ends But I sing Just what I’m hearing Not what you’re saying Maybe you’re right I’m just wasting time (I’m) willing to fight I’m across the line (I) don’t have a choice it’s all that I am (I) don’t really know how the story ends Maybe you’re right I’m just wasting time (I’m) willing to fight I’m across the line (I) don’t have a choice it’s all that I am (I) don’t really know how the story ends But I sing

Here you know where it is, you know where you stand Here you know how it is, you know where you’ll land Maybe somewhere the rain falls in Maybe somewhere a wall’s caved in In the mirror you want to be seeing something outside what’s happening But it’s the same mistake, you can’t believe you’d make You know exactly what you’ve paid You know exactly how you’ve paid Down, you know how to be, you know how you’ll stand Down, it’s better you are than failing again Even now that the rain pours in Even now where the walls cave in Recognizing the face looking in to see what the hell is happening And it’s the same mistake, you never thought you’d make You know exactly what you’ve paid You know exactly how you’ve paid And you accept the shit, you say you had it coming You know exactly what I’d say You know exactly what I’d say Use your open eyes, you’re seeing what you want Raise your mind and recognize what you’re becoming And it’s the same mistake, you never thought you’d make You know exactly what you’ve paid You know exactly how you pay And you accept the shit, you say you had it coming You know exactly what I’d say You know exactly what I’d say Yeah it’s the same mistake, you say you had it coming You know exactly what you’ve paid You know exactly what you’ve paid I know you’re better than you say I know you’re better than you say

The Seams 03:41
You believe that everything has to be so You believe in living in lines so you’ll know Every piece has a place, and you’d never miss putting them there Every place is a stage, and you’d never look just how you are I wanna see you come apart at the seams I wanna see what you are, not what you seem And don’t you need to step away from it all Cause I’m still hoping you’ll just laugh as you fall You still hold unbelievable things to your heart Still a girl with your head in the clouds, there you are You believe that it’s make the world better to be Safe between, I wish you’d see beyond what you need I wanna see you come apart at the seams I wanna see what you are, not what you seem And don’t you need to step away from it all Cause I’m still hoping you’ll just laugh as you fall There is a beauty with the fall I can see beauty in the fall In the fall I wanna come apart at the seams I wanna be not what I seem I wanna come apart at the seams I wanna be not what I seem

Tucson 02:12
Laying on a stone cold bed, only light remains Laying on a stone cold bed, only sound remains I only came along to be one among and me I only came along to see one among and me I wish only I could stay I wish only I could stay When do I come home When do I come home I don’t wanna go I don’t wanna go
