Music lovers from all walks of life should find delight in Mother Earth's "The Rose", thanks to its stirring melody, resonant lyrics and all around timeless quality.

Strongest Point(s): Outstanding production, solid mix. Terrific song craft, the total package. Dynamic arrangement, thats both eclectic and engaging. Fantastic lyrical content, incredibly romantic with a nod to natural beauty, audiences should have no problem connecting to those universal themes. Excellent performances and musicianship, across the board. Passionate vocal performance that will really draw the listener in, right from the top, and keep them hanging on through that fabulous coda of "Love, I'll chill..." For some reason, that bit was the emotional kicker for me, personally. Great little tag line to close on. Overall, this is a tremendous track, and a wonderful group endeavor. It was a true pleasure to review!
