A Good Year For The Roses

Counting Crows

Transposer:

A GOOD YEAR FOR THE ROSES COUNTING CROWS STANDARD TUNING NO CAPO INTRO: VERSE: I can hardly stand the sight of lipstick on the cigarettes there in the ashtray. Lying cold the way you left them but at least your lips caressed them while you packed. Or the lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and didn’t drink. But at least you thought you wanted it which is so much more than I can say for me. CHORUS: It’s been a good year for the roses Many blooms still linger there. The lawn could stand another mowing it’s funny I don’t even care But as you turned and walked away As the door behind you closes The only thing I thought to say is what a good year for the roses VERSE: After three four years of marriage it’s the first time that you haven’t made the bed I guess the reason we’re not talking is there’s so little left to say that we haven’t said While a million thoughts go racing through my mind I guess I haven’t said a word From the bedroom the familiar sound of our one baby’s crying goes unheard CHORUS: It’s been a good year for the roses Many blooms still linger there. The lawn could stand another mowing it’s funny I don’t even care But as you turned and walked away As the door behind you closes The only thing I thought to say is what a good year for the roses -

Cette chanson évoque les souvenirs mélancoliques d'une relation qui se fissure. Elle décrit des détails simples mais chargés d'émotion, comme des traces de rouge à lèvres sur des cigarettes ou une tasse de café à moitié pleine. Chaque élément du quotidien rappelle l'absence de l'autre, soulignant à quel point le silence pèse après tant d'années passées ensemble. Malgré la tristesse de la séparation, il reste une certaine beauté dans les roses qui continuent à fleurir, symbolisant à la fois l'amour passé et la nostalgie. Le contexte est celui d'un mariage qui s'effondre, où la communication s'est tarie et où les gestes quotidiens, qui autrefois établissaient une connexion, ne sont plus que des souvenirs douloureux. La chanson capte ce moment où, malgré l'évidence de la perte, une lueur de tendresse persiste dans les souvenirs.
