《The Rose》是一首传唱了几十载的经典老歌，不知不觉飘进你我心里。由Bette Midler在其领衔主演的《The Rose》(歌声泪痕)中作为片尾曲首唱。之后被手嶌葵(Aoi Teshima)，西城男孩等众多名歌手翻唱，是传唱度极高的一首歌。
而在众多翻唱版本中，手嶌葵的版本最受大众喜爱，被称为可触及灵魂的魔音。
这个版本的《The Rose》，Aoi 的声音清澈、透明，又仿佛带着红酒的醇香；寂静的夜晚，沉下心来，静静聆听，歌声是如此的干净，仿佛清晨淡淡的雾气拂过你的脸颊，如此的温柔，极具治愈心灵的效果。
歌词：
Some say love it is a river有人说，爱，如流水
That drowns the tender reed浸润了柔嫩的芦苇
Some say love it is a razor
有人说，爱，似利刃
That leaves your soul to bleed
丢下一个滴血的灵魂
Some say love it is a hunger
有人说，爱，是无尽的欲望
An endless aching need
煎熬无比，却无法自拔
I say love it is a flower
我却说，爱，是绽放的花朵
And you it's only seed
而你是唯一的种子
It's the heart afraid of breaking
这是一颗憔悴的心
That never learns to dance
再也无法忆起那跳动的感觉
It's the dream afraid of waking
这是一个不愿醒来的梦境
That never takes the chance
再无勇气去尝试
It's the one who won't be taken
这是一个不曾离开
Who cannot seem to give
却也不曾给予的人
And the soul afraid of dying
那畏死的灵魂
That never learns to live
再无法生存
When the night has been too lonely
太孤寂的夜
And the road has been too long
太漫长的路
And you think that love is only
你说，爱是唯一
For the lucky and the strong
我们那么幸运，我们矢志不渝
Just remember in the winter
只记得冬日里
Far beneath the bitter snows
当天空中雪花飘飞
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
种子沐浴着阳光的爱,
In the spring becomes the rose
冬去春来，一朵玫瑰，娇艳盛开
