You Can Keep the Pedestal

'You can keep the pedestal; I'd rather have the floor.' Rosanna MacKail enjoys an audience. Being expected to behave like somebody else's idea of perfection is another matter. You Can Keep the Pedestal pairs an early-eighties pop-rock sound with a lively funk rhythm and Rosanna's dry humour. She can accept a compliment and still reserve the right to ask an awkward question, miss a cue or change her mind. The invitation is to get to know the woman behind the admired image. Imagined as a song from Rosanna's early solo career in Fruits from the Ash, it celebrates the freedom to be talented, imperfect and good company. Rosanna MacKail is a fictional singer-songwriter created by Ian Clarence for the Trees from Ashes saga. Her story unfolds in Fruits from the Ash and continues in Woman in the Frame.
