Born in 1989 in Long Island, Rose grew up in Center Moriches, New York. The daughter of two artists, Rose began writing songs and poems at age 13. Rose attended Wellesley College in Massachusetts, where she graduated in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in architecture.
In 2012, Rose and producer/multi-instrumentalist Jer Coons launched a Kickstarter to fund the production of Rose's first album America Religious. The album, blending American folk music, country, and rockabilly styles was self-published later that year. Two years later, Rose released her first nationally distributed album, I Will Not Be Afraid on Little Hi! Records. Like the first album, it was produced with Jer Coons and featured music in a variety of Americana musical styles, including two songs previously released on America Religious.
Following the release of I Will Not Be Afraid, Rose took an extended hiatus from touring and releasing new material, while she explored new musical directions that would broaden her sound. After three years, numerous personnel changes, a signing to mother + Pop Music, and a switch to New West Records, Rose released her third album. The new album, Loner, was co-produced by Rose and Paul Butler of The Bees, and represented a radical shift away from the musical style of her previous work, blending pop and alternative rock elements, and incorporating prominent synthesizers throughout. Notably, this album also saw a change in lyrical tone, incorporating a number of overtly humorous, sarcastic, and satirical songs. Although Rose played most of the instruments on the album, she formed a new band to perform on tour.
Prior to Loner's release, Rose released "Money" and "Soul No. 5" with accompanying music videos. Rose released a music video for "Jeannie Becomes a Mom" on October 17, 2018. The video, which was directed by Amanda Speva, features Abby Pierce as the titular character, depicting Jeannie moving into a new home, performing a dance routine with the movers, and preparing a rainbow Jell-O cake. The song was ranked the fifteenth-best single of the year by National Public Radio.
On January 7, 2020, Rose announced a new album called Superstar, releasing a single and a music video for the song "Feel The Way I Want". The video was shot on an iPhone over the course of an 11-day roadtrip from Hollywood, California to Hollywood, Florida, documenting the protagonist's journey after she travels to the wrong Hollywood for an audition. According to Rose, the album is a "cinematic pop album that tells a story of someone who leaves behind everything she knows and loves in search for something bigger and more glamorous. It's a story about losing yourself but also finding the brazen self-confidence to follow a dream." The album Superstar was released on March 6, 2020, and Caroline Rose made her television debut on February 24, 2020, performing "Feel The Way I Want" on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Talk
Caroline Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting in the wings
Stand up
Preying on you
For you ready to eat
Ooh but you know they all talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
No there ain't nothing up their sleeve
So close your eyes
They all talk, talk, talk
Crawl inside my head
They all bark, bark, bark
Gonna crawl into nest
They all talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
Sit, eyes bloodshot red
All bark, bark, bark
Caught in the middle
Ooh better watch your back
Twitch, tick
Keep pulling that open weaving within sleep
Don't forget, God knows how best to show it's teeth
They all talk, talk, talk
Crawl inside my head
They all bark, bark, bark
Clouding my ends
They all talk talk talk
Am I going bad?
Bark, bark, bark
Or caught in the middle?
They all talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
Don't matter what was said
They all bark, bark, bark
Am I departing by the minute?
They all talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
My god, it's if I'm going mad
They all bark, bark, bark
I am caught up in the middle
In Caroline Rose's song "Talk," the lyrics depict a sense of paranoia and feeling trapped in a world where people constantly talk and judge. The opening lines, "Oh they're coming for you, Waiting in the wings," suggest that there are people lurking, ready to prey on the singer's vulnerability and weaknesses. The repetition of the phrase "They all talk, talk, talk, talk, talk" emphasizes the pervasive nature of gossip and rumors. Despite their empty words and lack of substance, the singer recognizes that these individuals are inescapable, as symbolized by the lines "Crawl inside my head, Gonna crawl into nest."
The lyrics also allude to the singer's struggle with anxiety and the inner conflict it creates. The verse "Better watch your back, Twitch, tick, Keep pulling that open weaving within sleep" paints a picture of restlessness and the constant struggle to find peace of mind. The mention of "God" in the line "Don't forget, God knows how best to show its teeth" suggests that the singer may be questioning their faith or seeking guidance amidst the chaos.
Overall, "Talk" delves into the complexities of human communication, the psychological impact of gossip, and the overwhelming feeling of being caught in the middle of other people's judgments and opinions.
