Ken Lehnig’s album Holding a Rose is a heartfelt exploration of love, loss, longing, and resilience. Woven through the songs is a sense of emotional and physical journey—of relationships that begin with hope but drift into separation, and of individuals navigating life’s winding roads with both pain and persistence. Through vivid imagery—like blank pages searching for words or holding a rose while catching one’s breath—Lehnig captures the fragility of human emotion and the difficulty of connection when distance, whether literal or emotional, gets in the way.
Themes of heartache, wandering, and endurance run throughout the album, often framed in a singer-songwriter style with influences of folk, country, and blues. While some lyrics speak of feeling broken, lost, or barely holding on, others ring with resolve and determination—to keep moving, to find love, or to escape toward something better. Holding a Rose is ultimately a poetic and unflinching look at life’s sorrows and hopes, told with honesty, grit, and a longing that resonates.
