Discover the story of the song > Rosemary – Scott Walker

The song is about a person named Rosemary who is feeling sad and stuck in their life. They see a photograph on the wall that reminds them of something bad and want to take it down. Rosemary hears sounds outside like boats and dogs barking, and feels like time is passing by too quickly. They remember a time when they were happy with a man named Mr. Jim, but now they feel like they can't move forward because they don't have the right clothes or enough energy.
