Like or Dislike: Rose Garden
 

I love this song. I have always loved this song. I know, it's kind of countryish, but I don't think that's a bad thing. It's a clean, simple, pretty song about love & loss & regret. The music fits the lyrics very well.

The harmonies on this verse are amazing:

"You never promised me a ring made out of diamonds
A band of gold you said was all you could buy
You never said I'd be a rich man's lady
And oh my darling...no, you never lied"

Love this verse:

"And now you're gone...and I'm alone, and I'm so lonely
Nothing seems to be the same
One day I turned around and you no longer loved me
In my life there's been a big change"

It's definitely interesting to me that she wrote this in 1965. I don't think Stevie can see the future or anything :D but still interesting. OH! I loved it live on boots from the Enchanted Tour. Just beautiful.

100 points to whoever gets choice #5 in the poll. :angel:

This is one of my favorites, too. I love the last verse especially.

Well I've got all these things,
all these things but a small gold band
on my finger
on my left hand

I love how she did all of the harmonies, too. Great pick!

Three Reasons I Love This Song:

1) It's my mom's favorite Stevie song.

2) It's on Street Angel

3) I love the vocals, the lyrics, the music....everything about it.

That is the best thing ever.

I <3 Rose Garden!!!! I fell in love with Rose Garden when I got Street Angel the day it came out. Great lyrics. Great Vocals. Love the acoustic sound of it. Love it live.

The first time i discovered Rose Garden was when I saw it on the Enchanted Tour and I did really like it. I don't even remember listening to it on Enchanted box set when that came out, but I do really like it. It made a great interlude to Sleeping Angel as well.

4 Stars.

I chose the single white rose - only because I hate red roses! :laugh:

But I love this song - and I'd echo what Paula wrote in her first post. Simple, sweet, and bittersweet. Especially poignant when you know that she wrote it before she ever hit it big. How did she know.... ?

I think her vocal on SA is extremely weak. However, I like the lyrics and think the song was great live.

I think you are extremely weak. :wavey:



JK - I like to tease today for some reason. :p

Hey Now :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Hey Now! What's a matter with ya? Girls just wanna have fun yeah...

My least favorite released Stevie song. :sorry:

That's okay....Cry Wolf :o

Is soooo much better than RG! :p.

This song is gorgeous...and I agree that the last verse is just heartbreaking. What was she, like 20 when she wrote this?
