Name: Wild Roses
Duration: P00H03M10S
Description: Wild Roses, the forthcoming single from Elvett, is like a shot of ambrosia, straight no chaser! A delicious potion equal parts female sensuality and militancy, set to a low-end-heavy beat with a crisp, snapping snare, ominous horns and a hooky kalimba as steady as autumn rain. The song celebrates womanhood as an expression of nature – raw, free, resilient, idiosyncratic and defined by agency.

lyrics

The wind said go ahead,
Keep on growing on your way
Seemed to me so easy you know, but oh
In that soil, my body unfold freely, I am strong
The light is all around me, the water comes along

I am nature’s gift
You can’t shape me
So no
No no no

Wild roses bloom near the river without you
Bright in the sun, proud and free
They don’t need a gardner crew
Look at all these roses
Buds beauty don’t belong to you
But you can lie down with me
I’ll watch over you

Blood red, purple, and coral
My sisters are here
Our colours, the shape of our flowers
It’s our own sphere
We exhale the flagrance of rebirth, of a revival day
Fresh as a sweet month of may
We know where we grow

We are nature’s gift
You can’t change it
So now you know how

Wild roses bloom near the river without you
Bright in the sun, proud and free
They don’t need a gardner crew
Look at all these roses
Buds beauty don’t belong to you

To you
To you
To you
To you
To you
To you
To you
Oh now you know
