OCTOBER ROSE
Country Music Duo: Leanne Weiss & Derek Allan
Shining a Light on the Opioid Crisis
|
October Rose has Partnered with Shatterproof, a national nonprofit,
to Raise Awareness about the Opioid Epidemic in the U.S. ""Different Kind of High" is meant to bring awareness to the ongoing opioid epidemic happening in the U.S. We were inspired after hearing stories from family, friends, and fans, as well as stories in the news, about so many people battling addiction. In this song, we tell two different stories, but the message is universal. Our goal is to create awareness and, hopefully, make a difference...especially with the music video which brings those stories to life visually." ~ Leanne & Derek |
Different Kind of High Lyrics

© 2018 Leanne E Weiss, Derek A Gabrish, Evans and Elm Music Sweet sixteen, homecoming queen Baby blues and every boy’s dream She was sitting on top of the world College came and the pressures built She tried to escape with a little white pill And the angel fell from grace Now this whole town’s gathered around Dropping roses in the ground Goodbye, goodbye to the little girl we used to know back then Don’t cry, don’t cry Just fold your hands and look up to the sky She’s a different kind of high Sent back home from his second tour Broken bones couldn’t fight no more He had to camouflage his pain The doctor gave him a pack of pills When they ran out it was all downhill He pushed the poison through his veins Now this whole town is gathered around Twenty-one shots ringing out Goodbye, goodbye to the hometown hero we used to know back then Don’t cry, don’t cry Just fold your hands and look up to the sky He’s a different kind of high Although we know they’re in a better place What can we do to make a change? So we don’t have to say Goodbye, goodbye to everyone we lost along the way Don’t cry, don’t cry Just fold your hands and look up to the sky They’re a different kind of high |

About October Rose:
After years of performing as solo acts, Jersey-born Leanne Weiss and Pittsburgh-raised Derek Allan formed the modern country duo October Rose in October 2016 and have already made their mark on the East Coast country scene. Collectively, they've opened for artists such as Dierks Bentley, Jake Owen, Jordan Davis, Russell Dickerson, Granger Smith, and Tyler Rich, and have graced the stage of venues such as Opry City Stage, Mayo Performing Arts Center, and Mount Airy Summerstage. In addition, they’ve been featured performers on NashFM’s “Ty, Kelly, and Chuck,” as well as local and national radio and TV shows. Their debut EP “All In” has received critical acclaim from various media outlets, with their first single “Heartbreak Song” hitting country radio last year. October Rose will be touring nationally again as soon as it's deemed safe to do so. Until then, check out their social media pages...you might just catch them "live" from their living room! |
