Talk:Kiss from a Rose

Fair use rationale for Image:Seal - Kiss From A Rose (single).jpg
Image:Seal - Kiss From A Rose (single).jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:27, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Deleted "3/4" comment
Deleted this comment "It is also the only Billboard Top 100 song ever to be in a 3/4 (Waltz time) signature." This is completely unverifiable. The only way to verify this is for someone to listen to every single in the history of the Billboard Top 100 to check the time signature. That would be at least thousands of songs.John ISEM (talk) 19:42, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Thought of at least one other song in 3/4 time in the history of the Billboard Top 100: "Morning Has Broken" by the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens. So the deleted comment is flat wrong, not merely unverifiable.John ISEM (talk) 19:56, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * It still should be included just to state it is in three beats per bar, as this is unusual for a pop song.78.150.47.111 (talk) 01:11, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Good call to delete, I would have to add that if anything this sounds more like a compound triple- I would suggest 9/8 in places such as what I beleive is the harpsichord break (genius by the way!). Also, Morning has broken is normally a compound 9/12, not a 3/4! 194.80.178.1 (talk) 11:52, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

UPDATE: Since writing this and listening to KFAR, I had to look it up. This link http://theeviljam.co.uk/2014/07/31/famous-songs-in-slightly-odd-time-signatures-a-guide-to-rhythms/ claims the song is in a very slow 5/4, but "better noted as 15/8 and 3/8". Either way, this is not unique in the charts. You could possibly, if you could be bothered, say that it is the slowest 5/4 in the history of the top 100!

Music/lyric credits
There is absolutely no information in this article about who wrote the music and lyrics of the song. This seems like the absolutely most basic information that ought to be included in a Wikipedia article about a song! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.79.48.83 (talk) 12:59, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

American Idol Cover
This section is just misleading, anyone who actually watches the segment can tell that they were joke reviews. The text written about it treats them as serious reviews. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.150.107.219 (talk) 14:56, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

The Bachelor
There's a huge appearance of Seal and the play of Kiss from a Rose in The Bachelor, season 15, starring bachelor Brad Wolmark. Also there is a funny scene in that episode of him and bachelorette Ashley H trying to "cover" the song in istudio. Where's this in the article? 189.122.30.241 (talk) 04:15, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

put it in then!

Instruments?
Is anyone else interested in what instruments are used in this song? Apart from the usual sort it sounds like there is an oboe and a harpsichord. Wikipedia says oboe (under the page oboes in popular music) but can anyone verify what else there is? I have spent all day looking for the answer to no avail. 194.80.178.1 (talk) 14:03, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
