This song is from my forthcoming LP, ‘Love in Stereo’, which is a deliberation on love, hate and other four letter words. There are love songs on the LP, this for sure isn’t one of them.

I’ve come to think of this song as a bookend for a song I wrote and performed many years ago titled ‘You Make Me Sick’ which I wrote at the end of a relationship in my 20s. That one’s a little bitter, as you might imagine from the title. ‘A Rose Cut in Vain’ is similar in sentiment, if not tone, and is written more from the perspective of someone ending a very long relationship. Rest assured, I’m not currently going through a break-up myself. What I may have lacked in personal experience, I had close friends to help shade in the colors. I guess I'm sorry if you can relate to this one too much.
