Elvis Costello And The Attractions - Good Year For The Roses
Review by shahidul sahed
Good Year For The Roses is a classic album by Elvis Costello And The Attractions that showcases the band's versatility and musicianship. Released in 1981, the album features a mix of rock, country, and soul influences that create a unique sound that is both familiar and fresh.
The album's title track, "Good Year For The Roses", is a standout ballad that showcases Costello's emotive vocals and the band's ability to create a lush, atmospheric sound. Other highlights include the rollicking "Lipstick Vogue", the soulful "Sweet Dreams", and the country-tinged "I'll Wear It Proudly".
The album's production is top-notch, with Costello and the band working with legendary producer Nick Lowe to create a sound that is both polished and raw. The musicianship on display is impressive, with the band seamlessly shifting between genres and creating a cohesive sound that is uniquely their own.

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
On the cigarettes there in the ashtray
Lyin' cold the way you left them
But at least your lips caressed them while you packed
And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and didn't drink
But at least you thought you wanted it, and that's so much more than I can say for me
It's been a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowin'
Funny, I don't even care
When you turned and walked away
And as the door behind you closes
The only thing I know to say
It's been a good year for the roses
After three full years of marriage
It's the first time that you haven't made the bed
I guess the reason we're not talkin', there's so little left to say we haven't said
While a million thoughts go racin' through my mind, I find I haven't spoke a word
And from the bedroom those familiar sounds of our one baby's cryin' goes unheard
But what a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowin'
Funny, I don't even care
And when you turned and walked away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing I know to say
It's been a good year for the roses
