GOSHEN, Ind. – “Under The Sun” by Maggie Rose, is part of her most recent album “No One Gets Out Alive,” and it serves as a reflective song about finding balance and clarity throughout life’s ups and downs. In the song, Rose explores the emotions of love, longing, and self-discovery, all set against the backdrop of the sun, a metaphor for both warmth and danger. 

The song opens with an atmospheric melody that sets the tone for its analyzing lyrics. Rose’s voice, full of depth and emotion, weaves through the track, expressing vulnerability and strength. The lyrics focus on the idea of searching for something meaningful, whether it’s peace, a connection, or understanding, the world continues to spin. 

She uses the sun to symbolize both the highs and the lows of life. The chorus of “Under The Sun” reflects the internal tug-of-war between letting go of the past and embracing the present. Rose sings about the difficulty of reconciling one’s desires and the reality of the world, yet the song conveys a sense of hope. 

There’s an acknowledgment of life’s impermanence and unpredictability, but also a quiet acceptance that we must continue to seek meaning despite it all. Overall, “Under The Sun” is both a personal meditation and a universal call to embrace the full spectrum of life’s experiences, the good, the bad, and everything in between. 

Rose is a fantastic artist and will possibly be awarded for that. She was nominated for her first-ever Grammy for best americana album for “No One Gets Out Alive.” She is nominated alongside a few other Globe artists like Sierra Ferrell, Charlie Crockett, and Waxahatchee.
