“I’m sleeping just fine,” proclaims Caylee Hammack in her new song. “Bed of Roses” signals a new beginning for the country star. She digs into her work and uncovers a career-defining song. “He said he couldn’t put roots down, tears fell on fertile ground,” she observes. “And now, little does he know, I’ve been sittin’ here watchin’ ’em grow.”
Pain and love, and sorrow and anger all eventually strike a bloom that overtakes the sun. Without every ounce of experience, life simply wouldn’t exist the way it does. Co-written with Jeff Hyde and Benjy Davis, “Bed of Roses” sprouts as one of Hammack’s finest recorded moments. “Life ain’t a garden of Eden, takes time, tillin’ and weedin’ to help you heal yourself,” she sings. Despite all the misery, you can put in the work to soothe yourself and learn how to grow even better and stronger than before.
“Bed of Roses” serves as the titular track to Hammack’s sophomore album, expected March 7. As the title suggests, “Your bed of roses is the bed you make – you get to decide how you spend your time and how you plant your garden. Good love is flowers that come back every year,” Hammack shares in a press statement. “Bad love, it’s just the thorn. Sometimes you got to till shit up. You’ve got to work through things and it’s not going to be fun.
“Then one day, your friends come over and you sit as a family on the back porch in the garden,” she continues. “And when they compliment the roses near the gate or the cherry tomatoes speckled about in the pasta, you get the pleasure of realizing, ‘I grew that, I put love, time, and belief into something and it paid off.’”
