Emmrose - Thorns (2023) Hi Res

The full album, including previously unreleased tracks such as Hannah, Waiting for Nowhere, Afterlife, Brave New World, Thorns, The Gallows, and The Feeling's Mutual.

In the title track "Thorns", every verse is addressed to a different person and publicly addresses the resentment she once held against them, so pay close attention to those lyrics there’s a unique story to be told, each one more palpable than the last. The verses are sung sweetly over a gorgeous piano, along with viola accompaniment by 15-year-old viola player Andrew Jensen.

"I wrote this song to finally move on from so many people. It was really necessary for me to write. Holding a grudge holds me back from making closer connections to people,” she writes. "I finally feel like I've begun healing. I’m not afraid anymore to meet new people and to make friends. I don’t feel like my past is holding me down anymore. Where thorns were, now grow roses."
