The Roseline – I Was a Gun | Rock music review

“The flow of the rhythm is so, so graceful. The guitar melody flows brilliantly, adding perfect part between verses and his amazing voice. Catchy tone of the song and his vocal quality will definitely stay with you long after the song is over. The choice of instrumentation was flawless, it wouldn’t have sounded better on anything else. ”

“Η ροή του ρυθμού είναι έτσι, τόσο χαριτωμένη. Η μελωδία κιθάρας ρέει εξαιρετικά, προσθέτοντας τέλειο μέρος μεταξύ των στίχων και της εκπληκτικής φωνής του. Ο πιασάρικος τόνος του τραγουδιού και η φωνητική του ποιότητα σίγουρα θα μείνουν μαζί σας πολύ μετά το τέλος του τραγουδιού. Η επιλογή των οργάνων ήταν άψογη, δεν θα είχε ακούσει καλύτερα σε τίποτα άλλο.”

“El flujo del ritmo es tan, muy elegante. La melodía de la guitarra fluye brillantemente, agregando una parte perfecta entre los versos y su increíble voz. El tono pegadizo de la canción y su calidad vocal definitivamente permanecerán contigo mucho después de que termine la canción. La elección de la instrumentación era perfecta, no habría sonado mejor en nada más.”

Lyrics of The Roseline – I Was a Gun

I hate to say it but I’ll likely never change
A head of ironwood
You thought that maybe you could mold me into something
Beyond boyhood
I’m a joke, a gas, with no slant rhyme or reason
Can’t even hold a job down for more than a season

I was a gun
You were a flower
I was poorly gettin’ paid by the hour
I was a wrecking ball and downright dour
You were the only one that saw any good
I was plum
Unpleasant and sour
I wasn’t ripe but your patience was power
You let me sweeten up and then you devoured
You were the only one that saw any good
That saw any good

It’s hard to say it but the children that we made
Are all that saved me
Now I awake and there’s promise in the day
Our blue-eyed babies
As for us, a shrug and a love in disrepair
Have we given up? Regardless I promise I’ll be there.

I was a gun
You were a flower
I was poorly gettin’ paid by the hour
I was a wrecking ball and downright dour
You were the only one that saw any good
I was plum
Unpleasant and sour
I wasn’t ripe but your patience was power
You let me sweeten up and then you devoured
You were the only one that saw any good
That saw any good
