Dissecting "18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses" by Kathea Mattea - 1987

Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description

We stay in 1987 for one more episode, stopping for some flowers along the way, because it's Valentine's Day 2026, and thus just the right time to take on Kathy Mattea's signature hit, "18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses". You already know how this song tugs at the heartstrings, but how does it manage to keep itself rolling so deliberately toward its near-term goal, while constantly looking in the rearview mirror toward the more distant past?
