Hey guys!  Just wanted to update you all on everything Rosaline.  We've been laying low recently concentrating on preparing our band for a change.  Since Rosaline has been together, we have had the task of balancing school and music.  In a world where the two often don't mix, we have been able to accomplish our goal of achieving college degrees, and myself, Madison, and Ricky will be graduating from DePaul University and Columbia in June of this upcoming year.

With much thought and consideration, we have decided to put our full efforts in turning Rosaline into a career.  After June we will be dedicating this band to touring full-time, and feel that we owe it to many of you as well as ourselves to push Rosaline as far as we can. 

To aid us in this new chapter of our band, we are proud to say that Jay Parker of The Arctic Agency will be representing us for our booking and management needs.  Arctic is a new company that I know will become a household name in the near future, and we are extremely excited to be a part of their team.

It looks like we will begin playing Illinois and Midwest shows again starting in January, so keep checking back as dates become confirmed. 

New album in 2010.

Song Lyrics for A Constant North. Copyright 2009 Rosaline and Eulogy Recordings. Enjoy!

The New Utah

Lets get on with this tonight, do what the pages tell us -until we burn them on sight (until we burn them on the sight)-lets get on with this tonight, do what the pages tell us - and dance on fire through the night (dance on fire through the night)

This is real enough to outline in chalk - weathered broken nails scrape for a couple thousand miles down the sky board

I know that everything, everything falls apart in the end - but it's alright man - just run into, run into the open arms of your friends - they'll be there for you - turn away, turn away from the arson in your head - I know it burns man - but everything falls apart

But the calender says "let's celebrate" and the time is always right - so let's go, let's go, let's get on with this tonight - I know this is a fairytale in my head - but it helps me to sleep soundly - at the end of the highway - you'll be waiting for me

I know that everything, everything falls apart in the end - but it's alright man - just run into, run into the open arms of your friends - they'll be there for you - turn away, turn away from the arson in your head - I know it burns man - but everything falls apart

This scene needs a change, and we're gonna give it to you. This scene needs a change. I need a change.

Accelerating like anxiety ascending harmonically.
Accelerating like anxiety ascending harmonically.

I know that everything, everything falls apart in the end - but it's alright man - just run into, run into the open arms of your friends - they'll be there for you - turn away, turn away from the arson in your head - I know it burns man - but everything falls apart





Culture Wars

In your time away from the repression I think geography has died and in its grave a lesson for us. You want so bad to see, but we wanted so bad to believe. We want to believe. We want to believe. The rise and fall of culture waters it down a little bit.

Our teachers are all fired, our artists are all drowned. The qualities of statues are talking the heroes down. The city in slow motion quickly crumbles to the ground, and in the ruins waiting, the answer will be found.

We see patterns ...
The city without struggle is a cultureless place.
....where no patterns exist.
The rise and fall of value is written on your face.
We see patterns ...
We'll value the constant when variables have no place
...where no patterns exist
There are patterns in the street, there are patterns out in space

Pin The Sea To The Wall

I won't waste your time, but this gives me the strength to divide. It's kind of hard to describe - it's kind of hard to describe.
I won't waste your time but this gives me the strength to divide
I'm like a man that's blind but in the midst of a thousand voices, there's colors on my mind. It's kind of hard to describe, it's kind of hard to describe.
I won't waste your time but this gives me the strength to divide
One last time, with colors on my mind. I won't waste your time.
I won't waste your time, but this gives me the strength to divide.



The White City

Few and far are my beliefs
Three short, three long, three short again. The ghost escaped but we saw his face.
It hangs above his head until he throws it to the ground (altering the whole thing) the city's knees are bent down.
And he'll still recall what he still has to say. Few and far are my beliefs. We can tear open the archives today. Few and far are my beliefs. Few and far are my beliefs. Few and far are my beliefs.
The ghost escaped but we saw his face.
Party like it's 1893, A celebration like it's 1893, a certain feel of urgency.
It hangs above his head until he throws it to the ground (altering the whole thing) the city's knees are bent down..




Brother, We'll Save You Now

Well load your gun and gag the sky, as heaven pours down from your family's eyes. As hard as I failed was as hard as I tried. Didn't they tell you? Never leave your brother behind.
If it was a war you were looking for, you should have spoken up. I needed help with the one inside my soul and all the rest of us did here too. I can remember the poem of one great man saying "your absence weighs more than someone else's presence" and that will probably hold true through impassable days and blood soaked rocks.
We're breaking down these walls to prove our love and shed the light. Now it's time to save another life (tonight) a dream to persevere through the cold, cold years. We'll save you now.
Sleepwalking through deserts like a ghost in a churchyard,
My friend,
You're never alone
We're always awake
Our hearts filled with hope
Your friends are your faith (friends are your faith)
(As hard as I failed was as hard as I tried) (Your friends are your faith)



In True Pisces Fashion

It's just the season when the air drops far below bitter. I've scanned for miles and miles and still it rains a haze of sliced light.
Tough Midwestern skin shields our weathered hearts for the time being. And false hope fuels us like a machine.
Into a rhythmic dream, I've known. I've known.
Once we're full of life and literature, we'll find that we connect and I think that we'll long for so much more than we ever gave. Imaginative, intuitive, and so compassionately alone.
I've scanned for miles and miles. I've scanned for miles and miles and even though the air is frozen, I know you're right in front of me.
In true Pisces fashion, I've faded from this.

A Silver Meridian

Faith is a shield that we'll hold together every step of the way. Shining a radiant path through the fog (by your side) If you go down, I'm going with you. What else would you expect me to do?
I'll be there by your side ready to pull you up..
As grey as your eyes, a constant north to the starboard side. I know we'll reach it. Of this, I'm sure
A restless needle held by time, maps laid face to face. Direction, compass, lights in the sky. Altruism glowing bright.
Set sail it's right in front of us. You know I'll be by your side.
As grey as your eyes, a constant north on the starboard side. I know we'll reach it. Of this I'm sure.

nothing....because i personally don't really have much to say. everything...because i want to hear from all our friends... all the people who listen to us... is there anyone that does so on a daily basis? as we write new songs i always wonder what's our fans favorite part about Rosalines music. i'd really like to know. oh i guess i do have a real question... to those of you that own A Constant North... whether you bought it(thank you so much) or burned it from someone( its ok...we forgive you=p ) are you happy wiith it? id like you to be completely honest. did we make a quality record? if not... why? what would you like to hear more or less of? lets discuss...

Hey Friends,

It has been a little while since we've written to you, so here we are! Our brand new album entitled "A Constant North" is finally done and available for your listening experience! It has been years in the making, but we couldn't be happier with the album we wrote. We'd like to thank all of you who have waited patiently on the pier to board the Constant North Vessel. We truly hope it provides you with something you couldn't find before. Listen and read closely, it's all methodically and mathematically put together to take you through 37 minutes of turbulent but exciting listening fun.

Just to clear up any confusion, at the moment "A Constant North" is a digital only release! It is available on all major online vendors, including Itunes, Rhapsody, Zune, Amazon and Napster. If you haven't already, go pick it up! This is the future of music!

However, every wave with a crest has a trough as well (look it up!!) So in rather sobering news, we were robbed shortly after our tour a couple of weeks ago. On July 1st, someone broke into our trailer in Chicago and stole over $5,000 worth of equipment. We lost all of our guitars, some amps and some drums. This has unfortunately put a leak in our ship for the time being, so some of our summer tour plans were cut on account of working on repairing damages. We apologize for this inconvenience, trust us, it sucked for us too.  If you're interested in helping, the best thing you can do is just pick up the album or a shirt, that helps us a lot!

If you are waiting to see us play in your town, sit tight! We are currently shopping for new management and booking agents, and we will announce some big news on that end very soon! In the meantime, we will be repairing our weathered vessel and writing even more brand new songs to entertain your pallet with. There just ain't no stopping them rosaline bois.

Stay historical, thanks for listening
