We are proud to present David Wainwright and the timeless country honesty of “Red Roses,” a moving ballad shaped by longing, heartbreak and quiet vulnerability. Taking cues from the storytelling traditions of Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton, Wainwright’s performance is at once deeply personal and yet has a universal quality. What makes the track work is the restraint; soft instrumentation and reflective lyricism allow the emotion to develop naturally rather than forcing sentimentality. There’s pain in every line of loving someone from afar, and this melancholy mood stays with you long after the song is over. "Red Roses" is country songwriting at its most heartfelt and emotive.
