One album on Germany's SPV label and several for the UK-based Delerium/Molten Records saw the band tour vigorously in Europe, but one day Lorenzo got tired of sitting behind the drums, so he embarked on a solo project he decided to call Baby Woodrose (named after the Hawaiian flower).
Lorenzo, playing all the instruments himself, recorded 15 songs in less than a week and released an album on his own label. Four years later, Baby Woodrose, now a trio, have released numerous 7" singles and 4 full-lengths (a live album and a full cover/tribute album) on the independent label Bad Afro Records.
In 2004, Baby Woodrose was nominated for a Danish Music Award (didn’t win it!). The band went on to win Danish National Radio’s most-sought-after award, the P3 Gold Award. Among several European tours were a much-talked-about appearance on Roskilde Festival’s main stage, a “not so good” drug bust in Norway, and collaborations with some of Scandinavia’s most-recognized rock bands.
Now in 2006, the trio are ready to release their most ambitious effort yet, the album "Love Comes Down." It will be released as a joint venture between the band's own label, Spinello, and Scandinavia's premier alternative-music distributor, Playground Music.
The album has been a long time coming, and we can now let you in on a little secret: Some sassy rock 'n' roll is on its way! The trio have expended their palette ever so slightly; this album features both sugar-sharp bubble-gum punk and the broken-man’s heartache on bitter skewers of citric acid!
It sounds as though it had been cut with the macabre precision of a surgeon with a buzz saw! The album was recorded in Copenhagen and Helsinki and was produced by German expatriate Jürgen Hendlmeier in the Land of the Thousand Lakes. Stone-cold, yet sexy and very contagious!
Open Doors
Baby Woodrose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And told me I was gone
It's easy being paranoid
When I'm always on the run
And I wonder -
Where do I belong?
I took a trip to another city
I hid inside a hotel
To be sure I came along
And I wonder -
Where did I come from?
Open doors in my mind...
If I could fix my problem
For some shelter and a song
I'd be happy to turn me off
And never turn back on
And always wonder -
Where did I go wrong?
I hear me talking words with meanings
Hidden from my tongue
I'm just endlessly repeating
On and on and on
And I wonder -
Where do I belong?
The lyrics of Baby Woodrose's song, Open Doors, suggest a sense of detachment and disorientation from the singer's surroundings, as they grapple with their own sense of identity and belonging. The opening lines describe a call from someone, informing the singer of their own disappearance, which could be read as a metaphor for feeling disconnected from oneself. This sense of disconnection is further emphasized when the singer wonders where they truly belong, highlighting feelings of confusion and uncertainty about their place in the world.
The mention of visiting another city and hiding in a hotel room, in pursuit of validation, suggests a need for escape and perhaps even a yearning for a change of scenery or perspective. The repeated refrain of "open doors in my mind" hints at a potential avenue for the singer to explore, indicating that they may be searching for a way to unlock or access some deeper level of understanding or insight into themselves.
The last stanza brings the song full circle, as the singer is once again questioning their place in the world and searching for meaning. The repetition of words with hidden meanings could suggest a sense of frustration or feeling trapped by one's own thoughts and experiences, and the final line, "where do I belong?", highlights the ongoing struggle for the singer as they seek to establish a sense of identity and belonging.
Overall, the song Open Doors is a poignant exploration of the search for identity and belonging, with lyrics that convey a sense of vulnerability and introspection.
Line by Line Meaning
Somebody called me on the phone
I received a call from an unknown person
And told me I was gone
The person on the phone told me that I had disappeared or died
It's easy being paranoid
It's simple to become overly suspicious and fearful
When I'm always on the run
Because I am constantly moving or in a hurry
And I wonder -
Where do I belong?
I question my sense of belonging and purpose in life
I took a trip to another city
I went on a journey to a different town or place
And found myself in the sun
I discovered myself in a state of happiness or contentment
I hid inside a hotel
I secluded myself in a hotel room for safety or security
To be sure I came along
To ensure that I had made the journey successfully
And I wonder -
Where did I come from?
I question my origin or place of birth
Open doors in my mind...
New opportunities or ideas are presenting themselves to me
If I could fix my problem
If I could solve my issue or trouble
For some shelter and a song
With only basic necessities and some music
I'd be happy to turn me off
I would gladly shut myself down or disappear
And never turn back on
And never come back or restart my life
And always wonder -
Where did I go wrong?
I will continuously question what I did incorrectly or regretfully in my life
I hear me talking words with meanings
I hear myself speaking words with significance or importance
Hidden from my tongue
That were previously unknown or unspoken to me
I'm just endlessly repeating
I am repeating myself over and over again
On and on and on
Continuously, without stopping
And I wonder -
Where do I belong?
I continue to question my place in the world

Woodrose and Spids Nøgenhat were world class and should have been more famous outside of Dk.
