Soms denk ik "Het wordt me allemaal te veel, ik kan gewoonweg niet meer volgen, ik mis mogelijks leuke nieuwe songs, nieuwe artiesten, ...". Wanneer ik dan iemand als Baby Rose 'ontdek', dan is alle leed verdwenen en krijg ik terug wat extra energie om te blijven gaan. Hoe zalig is dit nummer, wow! En die stem! Daarenboven komt nog eens het fantastische arrangement van deze song. Ze noemen het zelf een country song, maar dat hoor ik er absoluut niet in en zou dan weer eens muziekliefhebbers hier bij ons afschrikken. Ik hoor een jazzy vibe, véél vintage soul en een tijdloos karakter. Lekker wegdromen en de alledaagse beslommeringen vergeten.

"BADBADNOTGOOD and I recorded this song on the day we met, just as evening approached. I asked for one more, a country song, and when the chords came, I sang from the heart without needing to write the words down. ‘One Last Dance’ is important to me because it reflects my feelings of longing and love for someone who sees me as a villain in their story. I used to blame them too, but with time, realized where I was wrong and ultimately hoped for a chance to make it right. There’s a strong part of me that wishes we could try again, pretend it never fell apart, even while knowing it will never be the same. The longing is less about the person and more about the feelings behind the memories we shared. A true testament to the growing pains in life, the music is a sweet underscore of a longing, pride-less goodbye."
