I had decided not to write sad songs, but I had a reason to write a sad rose song once.

Roses, in the distance, how gorgeous they look. And because of their beauty I must walk to closer, and have to find the sadness in them.

I tried many times to create a rose song and failed many times. Even if it started with gorgeous sound, it always turned into a sad sound in the middle of the song. To write a gorgeous rose song, I had to take the sadness out of it, and this song is the sadness.

Since I wrote this, I don’t have to write sad rose song anymore and could make gorgeous rose song Roses in the Palace Garden. Why palace and roses? Because, if I wanted to see a large architecture, I would not be able to see the roses up close.


I don’t want to play sad song in the living room, so I used major chords only, but decrease the number of notes to make the song ‘lonely’ instead of ‘sad’. I wandered to be open this song, which is created by such a reason. But I decided upload because I thought this was also an aspect of composing.
