Running, running Running, running Running, running I hit the road again I know I should have said goodbye I do it all the time Looking through the rosy light You said you needed me So I am always running back home Thought that I’d never leave But it don’t mean nothing no more So who’s taking you home tonight? I never meant to break my heart But I always see things through a rosy light Who’s waking up next to you? I can’t keep no peace of mind Knowing that you’re running That you’re running with another lie On the other side Just go and live your life In that rosy light I’m on shaky ground Even when I think I’m stable The world kicks you down When it pours it rains in April Wish I could smell the roses Right here in front of my face You know, we’re both to blame And it’s got to be better this way

about

Vincent John is nothing short of a musical force. For over a decade, he has been a writer, performer, producer and mixer for a wide range of artists including Lee Fields, Nicole Wray, El Michels Affair, and more. After co-founding his own record label, production team, and recording studio Eraserhood Sound in 2019, Vincent has been releasing a steady stream of soulful synth-pop / R&B singles created entirely on his own terms.

His latest single is “Rosy Light,” which takes its cues from the most timeless songwriters of the 80s, including Rod Temperton, Don Henley, and Darryl Hall. The single blends nostalgic New Wave synthesizers and hazy vintage drum machines with modern R&B flourishes. Lyrically, the song is a confession of coming to terms with his own crippling optimism. “I always see things through a rosy light,” sings John, with a despair that implies he knows things won’t work out in the end. With gut-wrenching honesty, VJ grapples with the painful realization that maye he needs to start over. It is a difficult truth, but one that Vincent John can’t help but deliver with style and beauty.
