Off of Neil Levin's latest album Cosmic Blues, available on all streaming platforms. The album features an 'Artificial Vinyl Listening Experience' with a 'Virtual Sleeve' containing personal notes from Neil about the songs and their story, along with official lyrics. All at www.neillevin.co

"This song picks up where the last two leave off ("Not Worthwhile" & "Gone Away"), our character is dead. This is the same character, that upon a more further dive, is actually the same one carried on from my last two albums. When writing this song, in the back of my mind I felt like i was closing the bookend of the Blue Roses saga. This song even felt like a 'part 2' to the song "Blue Roses" off of my album I put out back in 2020, I Want Blue Roses on My Grave"
- Neil

"Roses on the Grave" Lyrics:

It was springtime, I met my fate
The skies were blue, but your eyes were filled with rain
My time came, oh my time came
It's time to put those blue roses on my grave

So put 'em down, put 'em down
Put those blue, blue roses in the ground
Cuz my time came, oh my time came
Blue skies of rain, my time came

So let 'em down
Let 'em down
Let those blue, blue roses hit the ground
Cuz my time came, oh my time came
Blue skies of rain

So let 'em down
Let 'em down
Let those blue roses hit the ground
My time came, oh my time came
Blue skies of rain, blue skies of rain

It was springtime, I met my fate
The skies were blue but your eyes were filled with rain
My time came, oh my time came
It's time to put those blue roses on my grave
