“Roses in the Dark” by Mateo Morris – A Song Feature

 

     The passion in Mateo Morris’s vocal delivery and the poetry in the lyrics capture the painful tension of sensing a presence that lingers deep into the absence of another. The first verse explains:

Your voice still haunts the halls

Soft like winter calls

I feel your shadow near

Whispering what I fear

 
     And the darkness in the instrumentation further enhances the impact of the lyrical message. The highlight of the instrumentation resides in the bridge, which begins around 2:24. The intro offers a glimpse of the sequenced piano-guitar interplay, but it’s in the bridge that their call-and-response sequencing intensifies to bring the underlying tension into focus.
 
     The Soundcloud page of Mateo Morris indicates that he is based in Ashburn, which we assume is Ashburn, Virginia. Morris is a passion-packed Rocker creating powerful Rock music that blends raw energy, emotion, and timeless sound. With a style that draws from classic rock, alternative rock, and modern rock, he delivers songs filled with electrifying guitar riffs, driving drums, and powerful vocals.
