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.
I'll Be Gone
Rosie Lowe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And how strong you seem to be
But I hate not knowing me
When I lose control, dear
I love we're in denial
And the future that we've planned
But I feel the fear creep in
Won't you help me?
Just be patient
Don't let me go
Cause I'm good at running away
Keep your eyes on me
Don't give me a reason to run
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
So on days when I don't know
Will you be patient and keep me from
Cause at the first sign of danger
I will be putting my heels on cause it's easier gone
Won't you help me?
Just be patient
Don't let me go
Cause I'm good at running away
Keep your eyes on me
Don't give me a reason to run
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
I'll be gone
Please excuse the mess I make
I'm not used to having company
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
Please excuse the mess I make
I'm not used to having company
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
Cause I'll be gone
The song "I'll Be Gone" by Rosie Lowe is a love song that talks about trying to hold on to a relationship and not running away when feeling low or afraid. The first two lines of the song express the admiration of the singer towards her partner. She loves the way he smiles and how strong he seems to be. However, the next line brings a twist in the song, "But I hate not knowing me when I lose control, dear," which suggests that she's aware of the effect losing control has on her and how that affects her relationship. She then talks about being in denial and the future that they've planned, but is aware of the creeping fear that she feels when she's feeling low, which seems to lead her to want to run away.
The chorus of the song is very repetitive, and the word "gone" is repeated several times. The singer asks her partner to help her, be patient with her, and not let her go because she's good at running away. She also pleads with him to keep his eyes on her so that she doesn't have a reason to run.
In the second verse, the singer expresses the hope that her partner will be patient with her and keep her from running away when she feels lost and uncertain. She seems to acknowledge that at the first sign of danger, she would put on her heels and run away because it is easier to run than to stay.
Overall, the song is about the struggles of holding on to a relationship when feeling lost or afraid and the importance of having a partner who can be patient and supportive during those times.
