Hello rosebuds! Excited to announce that my new song, The Lonely Prince, is out today! 🫅 


There was a lot going on in my mind while writing this song that I didn’t get to share until now. Over the past few years, I’ve been unraveling and dismantling a lot of the beliefs I had when I was younger. I used to think that money and fame were goals that I wanted to achieve, and that I needed to use my music to reach those goals. 



Going through a breakup and dealing with mental health struggles caused a huge shift in my mindset. I think the most important takeaway from those experiences was that I learned to be a more empathetic person. I stopped writing songs to be rich and famous. Instead, I started writing songs to help heal the world and the people who are suffering in it.


It’s been tough making this transition. I live in an area where people compete for the highest paying jobs from the most prestigious technology companies. I work in an industry where clout and following often determine success. But I’m learning to care less about the likes and followers and streams, and more about writing songs to bring a little more happiness to the world.


So anyway, this is a little song about my journey thus far. I hope you guys like it. 


Love you guys ❤️


Rosendale

Lyrics:


I’m the lonely prince with the broken smile

‘Cause from my only home I have been exiled

I’ve nowhere left to go nowhere left to hide

Just trying to survive


I never wanted emeralds

I never needed gold

All I ever really wanted was somebody I could hold

I never wanted glory

I never needed fame

All I wanted was somebody who could wipe my tears away


But people threw their sticks and stones

They thought that I was weak

They said 

A worthless man is one who wears his heart out on his sleeve


They burned my castle to the ground

They kicked my copper statues down

I ran until I couldn’t now

I’m lost and waiting to be found


I’m the lonely prince with the broken smile

‘Cause from my only home I have been exiled

I’ve nowhere left to go nowhere left to hide

Just trying to survive


I’ve been on the run yeah for all my life

Too broken to be fixed no don’t even try it

But I cross my heart, head up to the sky

I’ll make it through the night


I tried to be resilient

Brave every cut and bruise

But something told me I could never fill my father’s shoes


I hated the attention

Too much pressure all around

When voices in your head say

You’re not fit to wear the crown


I steeled myself as hard as diamonds

It was not enough

‘Cause people are so slow to give but always quick to judge


They burned my castle to the ground

They locked the gates and shut me out

I ran until I couldn’t now

I’m lost and waiting to be found


I’m the lonely prince with the broken smile

‘Cause from my only home I have been exiled

I’ve nowhere left to go nowhere left to hide

Just trying to survive


I’ve been on the run yeah for all my life

Too broken to be fixed no don’t even try it

But I cross my heart, head up to the sky

I’ll make it through the night
