Rosealia
Better Than Ezra
Better Than Ezra's hit single 'Good' from their 1995 album 'Deluxe' is actually about a woman named Rosealia who suffered from mental illness and was a patient at a mental institution. Lead singer and songwriter Kevin Griffin was inspired to write the song after learning about her through his mother, who worked at the institution. The song's success and relatable lyrics shed light on the story of Rosealia and the struggles of those with mental illness, bringing awareness to important issues and humanizing those often stigmatized by society.
