Lowe was born into a very musical family in Devon in 1990. She started playing music from a very young age (5) and this continued throughout her education in to what is now her career. Training in jazz, Rosie studied music throughout her education where she moved to London in 2007 to complete a Popular Music degree at Goldsmiths University.
After leaving Goldsmiths University, Rosie signed to Domino publishing, wrote and released her first EP entitled "Right Thing" (via 37 Adventures) in December 2013. She co-produced this with producers Dave Okumu and Kwes.
After a period away from the limelight, in November 2018 she released the single "The Light" and announced her forthcoming second album YU and some 2019 tour dates.
Critics describe Lowe's music as "Effortless R&B beats, experimental electronica, minimalism, the art of understatement."
Towards the end of 2014, she released her 1st single "Water Came Down", and 2nd single "How'd You Like It" from her debut album Control which was released in 2016.
Birdsong
Rosie Lowe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And in the evening when the sun goes down to the early morning
You keep me hanging on
Ooh, and it's as simple as the sight of you
That gets me going and it soothes me through to the early morning (hey)
You keep me holding on
And it's the very thought of you that gets me through the night
It's the memory of the touch that keeps me from the light
And the scent of you on my pillow
('Til the early morning) baby, the love that you give takes me to heaven, to paradise
(Birdsong) every note that you sing tells me I'm doing something right
(Birdsong) never wanted to please somebody so much in my life
('Til the early morning) in the early morning
I'm waiting to hear your birdsong
Like flowers blooming in the morning sun
You do the night shift then you leave me, drunk on your loving
Like a rose to my thorn (ooh)
And it's the very thought of you that gets me through the night
And the knowing that I'll get it once more
It's the memory of the touch that keeps me from the light
Making love 'til cherry's gone
('Til the early morning) baby, the love that you give takes me to heaven, to paradise
(Birdsong) every note that you sing tells me I'm doing something right
(Birdsong) never wanted to please somebody so much in my life
('Til the early morning) in the early morning
I'm waiting to hear your birdsong
I don't wanna be your part-time lover
Don't want you running to the arms of another
Hmm, no, no, no, no, no, no
I don't wanna be one in a million
('Til the early morning) I don't wanna be your part-time lover
('Til the early morning) don't you running to the arms of another
('Til the early morning) no, no, no, no, no, no
(Bird song) I don't wanna be one in the middle (one, two, three, go)
(Bird song) one in a million
('Til the early morning) I don't wanna be one in a million
(Bird song) one in a million
('Til the early morning) I don't wanna be waiting to hear your
(Bird song)
The lyrics to Rosie Lowe's song "Birdsong" are about the intense connection between two people and the power of their love. Lowe expresses her need for her partner’s love both in the morning and evening, and admits that their simple presence is enough to get her going and soothe her throughout the night. The chorus repeats the idea that her partner’s love takes her to paradise and that every note they sing tells her she’s doing something right. She also sings about the memory of their touch and the scent of them on her pillow as things that keep her from the light and remind her of the intimacy they share. The final verse emphasizes the depth of Lowe’s desire for her partner, and she implores that she doesn’t want to be their part-time lover, nor one in a million. Rather, she wants to be connected to this person through the early morning and hear their birdsong.

It's in the morning that I need your love
I crave your love most in the morning when I wake up
And in the evening when the sun goes down to the early morning
I also need your love from evening to early morning
You keep me hanging on
Your love sustains me through both day and night
Ooh, and it's as simple as the sight of you
Just seeing you is enough to make me happy
That gets me going and it soothes me through to the early morning (hey)
Your presence brings me joy and comforts me until the morning comes
You keep me holding on
You are the reason I continue to hold on to hope and love
And it's the very thought of you that gets me through the night
I think of you to get through the lonely nights without you
And the knowing that I'll get it once more
Knowing that we'll be together again gives me comfort
It's the memory of the touch that keeps me from the light
The memory of our physical closeness keeps me from feeling alone
And the scent of you on my pillow
The lingering scent of you on my pillow reminds me of your presence
('Til the early morning) baby, the love that you give takes me to heaven, to paradise
Your love is so fulfilling, taking me to a place of joy and happiness
(Birdsong) every note that you sing tells me I'm doing something right
Your approval of me is conveyed through each note of your 'birdsong'
(Birdsong) never wanted to please somebody so much in my life
I have never felt so strongly about pleasing someone before
('Til the early morning) in the early morning
I'm waiting to hear your birdsong
I eagerly await the sound of your voice in the early morning
Like flowers blooming in the morning sun
Being with you feels like witnessing the beauty of flowers blooming in the sun
You do the night shift then you leave me, drunk on your loving
You spend the night with me, leaving me intoxicated on your love
Like a rose to my thorn (ooh)
You are the beautiful flower in my life that balances out the painful thorns
Making love 'til cherry's gone
We make love until the cherry on top is gone, until we are fully satisfied
I don't wanna be your part-time lover
I want to be more than just a casual lover to you
Don't want you running to the arms of another
I don't want to be competing for your love
Hmm, no, no, no, no, no, no
I am strongly opposed to the idea of sharing you
I don't wanna be one in a million
I don't want to be just another person in your life
(Bird song) one in a million
I want to be special to you and not just another person in your life
('Til the early morning) I don't wanna be waiting to hear your
I don't want to be kept waiting for your love
(Bird song)
Your love, approval and attention

I love this song but I just noticed she repeats "Making love to Cherry Stone" for both parts instead of singing "and the scent of you on my pillow" :0 still great though!
