Farewell, Rosey by Enofa

Rosey Baker, 01/2013 - 30/06/2025

Rosey entered my life in February 2014. Since then, she made things more joyous and exciting, occasionally frustrating and generally more beautiful. She's been there helping me at my lowest points, and sharing the brightest moments with me.

On 29th June 2025, she suddenly showed signs of illness, and we discovered she had numerous tumours; the vet gave her days to live. Over the course of the next few hours her health declined further, and the decision was made to end her suffering the following day.

Those who have lost beloved pets will have some idea of the pain that this has brought. She is now buried in the garden, two rose bushes adorning her grave; a place to go to be with her again.

I also wanted to create a tribute to her through my music. The pieces on this mini-album were being worked on during her final days, and find a fitting home collected here as a way of saying farewell. Many of the tracks are named after little nicknames she was given over the years. 'Imogen Rose' is the one of the rose varieties that grows on her grave. 'Canines' features a recording of her barking at a fox in the garden from late 2021.

'Viewed from Rosey's Perspective' is a track by The Future Sound of London, featuring Daniel Pemberton on piano, which was included on the FSOL album Archived : Environmental : Views in 2017, and was named after her. I would like to thank FSOL for giving permission to use my remix of the track on this album.

Rest in peace, Rosey.

Horizon music.
