Gabriel - a most expressive nature, idealistic and inspirational, driven with a strong inner urge to be of service in some way that would uplift humanity as a whole.. tendency to assume too heavy a burden of responsibility for others, which leads to worry and undue concern.. people with problems are drawn for they recognize one who has understanding and gives not only sympathy and comfort but provides also some constructive advice or assistance.. generous quality of nature, but guard carefully against giving more than is received otherwise might end up doing without because of helping someone else.
Rowan - deep, sensitive, refined nature with an intelligent mind and a keen appreciation of material values.. enjoying all the finer things in life that a good standard of living allows.. have good business judgment and would do well in a managerial position, as you have executive ability.. work best in an independent capacity, where able to think problems out carefully before acting.. sensitivity and reserve prevent people from coming close in friendship.. there is always an aloofness and reserve that acts as a barrier and prevents any close ties.
There are the people that you meet in life, that you know are so impecably driven by some deep down gutteral feeling, and no matter what they're going to push it. Born May 7, 1979, Aaron Gabriel Rowan is defenitely one of those people. He lives his life pushing his dream, the vision of TwentyOneRest upon the world. Extremely talented, he holds nothing back in his lyrics, which he writes soley, and he relives each of them every time he performs. Singing whilst playing guitar is a silly talent in and of itself, but he manages to do both quite successfully. The expressions that cross his face as he performs however, don't let you just listen to a song or watch a show, but rather feel it, know it, and experience it for all it's worth.
The entire band, including the name, have all come to be in Ramona, CA, as did Aaron (as far as I can recollect anyway). The name of the band was derrived from a dream he had once and something about a personal meaning to it all.. As to further detail into that story, no one really knows, but he promises some day he'll write it down. Whenever that happens.. yea..
I love Aaron, he's one of the nicest people. His favorite color is green, the same as my best friend Danni, (she is also featured on this site), thus making him quite alright. He's got a lot of silly little quirks, but hey, don't we all. Like he'll stand on his toes when he's singing high notes, his last name is tatooed on the back of his arm (and no it's not so he won't forget it,) and he'll argue with you over the defention of a word.. or maybe that's me. Heh. Through and through though, he's a beautiful person deep down. He's got true compassion for almost anyone, and just about everything. Like some more sophisticated time, he walks with almost a grace about him, and sometimes you have to just sit back and watch.
I don't really know how to tell you to expect Aaron to be if you've never met him, and I don't know exactly how to put his entire self into words if you do know him. There are many many levels to the boy, that I promise you. The musicianship level, the appearance level, the personality, the depth of the lyrics, the history that made him who he is today.. It's a lot of levels, but of course we all have them, but many choose to ignore most of their own. He rather plays with all of his, using them to as best of an advantage as he can. It sounds odd, and in truth, it is to most, but in reality, it's a beautiful display, creating quite the friend.
There've been rocky times between us, but nonetheless I love him like one of my best friends, and I wish the best for him in the future. I just want him, like the rest of the boys, to realize what they've got, and not let go of that for anything. It's a God given talent, and there are very few who are as blessed. I just hope he understands that, and understands how much it means to TwentyOneRest's audience.
