Cry Rosie is the brand new video from The Gallowgate Murders debut EP ‘Dead, Gone and Living on’.
Filmed at a stunning location within the Blairadam forest (Kingdom of Fife, Scotland) and Edinburgh Dalry Cemetery by the WWII Memorial steps.
Cry Rosie tells a story of a fictional character, inspired by K.K. Baczyński's poetry, as well as various WWII family stories of the band's founder, co-songwriter and guitarist, Anna, who hails from Poland.
Cry Rosie was written to pay respect to all the women who fought in WWII; the unsung heroes, those who lost their lives and those who survived.
PL:
Cry Rosie jest najnowszym klipem zespołu The Gallowgate Murders pochodzącym z debiutanckiego EP pt. „Dead, Gone and Living on”.

Cry Rosie opowiada historię fikcyjnego charakteru. Utwór ten został zainspirowany poezją Krzysztofa Kamila Baczyńskiego jak i również opowieściami rodzinnymi założycielki, gitarzystki i współautorki tekstów - Anny, pochodzącej z Polski.
Cry Rosie został napisany ku czci kobiet poległych jak i tych które przeżyły II wojnę światową.

Lyrics:
Chorus:
Cry, cry Rosie,
Your tears are falling away
Like the summer rain.
Cry, cry Rosie,
Your tears are rolling
Like heads of your enemies.
Verse 1:
And under shadows of the night
You made your mama proud
When you were shouting out loud, shouting out loud.
Verse 2:
And under stormy clouds
Unheard prayers of a man
No mercy but shattered lights, shattered lights.
Verse 3:
And then the heavy skies
Echo stories of your scars;
Blades of their swords will shine, their swords will shine.
Verse 4:
And under the scorching sun
Your heart stopped to pound
“The glory is the soldier’s prize,
The glory is the soldier’s prize”.
And under the scorching sun...
Your heart stopped!
Bridge:
And when the bullet rolls around
Inside the barrel of a gun,
Wild geese are fleeing the sky.
And when the bullet rolls around
Inside the barrel of a gun,
Their feathers hit the ground.
Outro:
Die, die Rosie,
Your cheeks are glowing in pain
(Don’t forget my name).
Die, die Rosie,
Your badge is fading away
Like heroes of yesterday.
