Straight No Chaser - Kiss From A Rose Lyrics






There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.

But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
Ooh, the more I get of you,
The stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the gray.

There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain, my power, my pleasure, my pain,
Baby to me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?

But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the gray,

I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,
...And if I should fall along the way
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,

There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.

But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the gray.

Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the gray.

    Who else listens to Kiss From A Rose when their drunk and reminiscing on the past?

  3. G.... N....

    I'm lost. It's beautiful; one of my all time favorite songs ... Sounds like acapella group singing over the original track. I've never heard this form over cover someone explain what's happening? It's beautiful

    G.... N....

    Seal, along with Straight No Chaser, blending just acapella voices and no instruments in their studio.

    G.... N....

    @Mikey_Suze Four thanks Mikey!

    Y.... H....

  20. s.... ....

    I can't believe 7 wankers gave this a thumbs down.

    s.... ....

    @Sonofmunson Unfortunately as of 8/13/2019 there's still 26 music hater wankers! (Hope one of them takes back their dislike vote) :-(

  21. D.... ....

    Back in 2010, Seggie Isho (a member of SNC) was asked if Straight No Chaser uses auto-tune or pitch correction during a phone interview. His response was *"No, we don’t use Auto-Tune. It’s just us and that studio band. People find it hard to believe, but once you see us live, you really get it!"*

    D.... ....

    Dapper Dan I’m a Fop man

  22. R.... C....

    Saw this live, it was simply incredible.

  23. A.... A....

    People are so dumbfounded by this song they forget to like, i bet u that all three of those thumbs down were made by people who were trembling so much they missed the button

    A.... A....

    At this time, it's now 6 people total who must have missed the 'like' button..My question is, "Why wouldn't you like this version of a Seal classic?" ;)

    A.... A....

    +WarlordFeyd it is now 9 :'(

  24. L.... M....

    I have always liked this song but to hear SNC sing it? WOW!!! Your harmony is fantastic!!!

  25. E.... W....

    One of my favorite songs and it sounds great when they sing it too :D

  26. m.... ....

    I close my eyes and I'm sitting on a thrown and I see a prince and a bunch of singers before. 

    m.... ....

    Throne*

    m.... ....

    @andy schrader thank you

  27. o.... ....

    if you guys could do eyes without a face i would simply die of joy

  28. L.... ....

    Simply amazing.

  29. W.... ....

    Great backup harmonies along with Seal's classic from "Batman Forever" :)

  30. M.... S....

    LOVE these guys....and this rendition is kick ass!!

  31. G.... ....

    Awesome.

  32. M.... ....

    Having seen the live videos, I had high hopes.
    Nope nope nope. =(

  33. L.... M....

    Melodyne these days sounds very natural - unlike autotune... very close to the original vocal

    L.... M....

    It is Sting

  34. k.... ....

    Perfect

  35. S.... C....

    I knew this had to be good

  36. Z.... ....

    Awesome version of Kiss From A Rose!

  37. T.... D....

    I don't hear anything like that guy is saying all I hear are people singing a song really well.

  38. T.... D....

    I don't see how anybody can not like this. Their amazing and i'm only 17.

  39. S.... W....

    For those of you who think this is autotuned: look up the original song by Seal live. Every song he does sounds like this because he is so precise, even live. And SNC is just really good at blending styles.

  40. M.... ....

    Wgass can sing moe

  41. A.... D....

    I think they are all robots.

  42. j.... ....

    Brady Anderson : relax man I wasn't trying to start a fight. But I have seen them live recently and I can promise you they sound the same and put on a great performance (: I listen to acapella every day, especially Straight No Chaser. Just trust me on this one (:

  43. B.... A....

    I think you are correct.

  44. B.... A....

    I promise they would not sound like that in-person...they would sound better.

    I sing and listen to acapella music 5-7 days a week.

  45. B.... A....

    Actually, "just so you know", almost all acapella groups use software like Melodyne or Autotune to some extent for their recordings. I was merely saying that it was over-used in this recording, causing their voices to sound electronic.
    Use of this software does not deem it a different genre by any means.

  46. B.... ....

    Dude you have no clue as to what you are talking about! Sorry not done here!

  47. j.... ....

    Straight No Chaser is an acapella group, if they used auto tune or any other instruments or anything, they would have to pose as a different genre. Just so you know. (:

  48. P.... S....

    O.O wow

  49. r.... ....

    I think the idea is to mimic the original, which was heavy into that as well. I don't think it takes away from the song or diminishes their talent in any way.

  50. m.... ....

    please come to Winnipeg. please.

  51. n.... ....

    Personally, I don't actually hear any of that stuff. I just hear the voices blending the way they do.

  52. B.... A....

    I'm a fan, but there's just too much use of Auto-Tune, Melodyne, etc. Your voices sound electronic and artificial. You are good enough singers that you can do with less of that, in my opinion.

  53. B.... W....

    awesome

  54. r.... ....

    As always, amazing...

  55. L.... ....

    I am a huge Seal fan and I gotta say, you guys did this song justice. Excellent work fellas!!

  56. D.... ....

    You can't help but sing along. COME ON!

  57. v.... a....

    ..I had goosebumps listening to this..

  58. A.... v....

    God you guys are fantastic

  59. m.... ....

    my fav song.

  60. m.... ....

    been waiting for this song for about a year now!

  61. n.... ....

  62. A.... R....
