This is a song I came across by accident. I was up late one night and chose to see what was out there I haven't heard, to see if there was anything new or old and this song hit me upside the head. It's by Rosi Golan and it's entitled Come Around. She's a singer songwriter in that mold of the typical singer songwriter. Her voice isn't all the special and her "look" looks like every female singer songwriter that's come before her. This song however IS special because it doesn't matter if you're a jazz lover, a hip hop head, or a metal music maniac, this song invokes a scenario we have all experienced. Being so head over heels for someone that you just want them to stick and stay.
It starts of with just Rosi and the piano and it's the melody that contrasts with the lyrics. The melody is somewhat dark but her lyrics are all about love and being so happily high that she doesn't ever want to come down. When she sings you're the one/you're the one you feel it (at least I do). The come around reference can be taken two ways which makes this song not just pretty but witty as well. She chastises herself for being a fool and waiting so long to let this person know how she feels that come around could be a plea. A pleas for this person to come around to feeling for her how she feels for him.
It's off of Rosi's 2008 release The Drifter and the Gypsy and if you like this cut then you should really look into that collect of songs. Especially check out Hazy (feat. William Fitzsimmons), it's a pretty good song in its own right. Enjoy.
