"Kiss from a Rose" is a song composed by British singer-songwriter Seal. It was released in 1994 as a single from his second eponymous album, "Seal II". The song became a massive hit, reaching the top of the charts in several countries, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. The song is characterized by its haunting melody, lush orchestration, and Seal's distinctive vocals. It features a slow, ballad-like tempo, with a prominent use of strings and a soaring chorus. The lyrics are poetic and enigmatic, with Seal singing about a love that is both beautiful and mysterious. "Kiss from a Rose" is divided into three distinct movements. The first movement features a simple piano melody and Seal's vocals, building up to a crescendo with the introduction of strings and a more complex arrangement. The second movement is the chorus, with Seal's voice soaring over a lush orchestration. The third movement is a reprise of the first, with the piano melody returning and the song fading out. The song's premiere was on the "Batman Forever" soundtrack, which was released in June 1995. The song was featured prominently in the film, playing over the end credits. The success of the song helped to propel the soundtrack to the top of the charts, and it went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or Television. "Kiss from a Rose" has become one of Seal's most iconic songs, and it continues to be a popular choice for weddings, romantic occasions, and karaoke nights. Its enduring popularity is a testament to the song's timeless appeal and Seal's talent as a songwriter and performer.
