An ode not to a specific person, moment, relationship, or space, Phoenix Rose’s touchingly poignant tune ‘The Thing About Love’ is really a thematic exploration into human nature and what makes us tick. Taking this universal and inescapable concept of love, our desire and need to find meaning through it, and also the immense amount of hurt it can cause of, its a heart wrenchingly touching tune that both has you crying tears of joy and sadness all at once. We don’t live for love in the medians, we thrive and crave for it on the extremes. Phoenix Rose so perfectly captures that feeling, that sheer undying sensation that you can never really forget once it washes over you.
Sung so powerfully and accompanied by just the right amount of minimalism in the arrangement, it’s a deft and evocative commercial pop tune by all accounts.
