Almost Heaven by Rosegarden Funeral Party

Almost Heaven is a song about being in love with someone you know you cannot be with. It is a song about the precious nature of innocent moments and the pain that comes with letting them go. It is a song about accepting the darker side of moments that may appear, on their surface, to be beautiful, but hide something darker between the lines and between the sighs. Sometimes the way people hurt one another isn’t so easily seen. Sometimes, it is only in hindsight that we truly realize the way we were harmed. Sometimes, both people get hurt. Sometimes, both people are guilty. Sometimes, both people are innocent. Love is complicated, life is more so. Life is a liquid. It moves and flows. It can freeze and it can boil. And every action, be it a thought, a feeling, or a movement, has an equal and opposite reaction.

Almost Heaven was recorded, engineered, mixed, and mastered by our wonderful producer, Michael Briggs, at Civil Audio Studio in Denton, Texas. It features Dylan Stamas on drums, Michael Ortega on synth, Scott White on bass, and myself, Leah Lane, on guitar and vocals. It was recorded in one day… one of our best days.
