Josienne Clarke - It Would Not Be Rose

Copied!edit Lyrics

If it were a flower
It would not be a rose
And if it were a bird
Would be fast on wings away from home
And if it were a tree
Down in the deep dark its roots would be
But if it were a flower
It would not be a rose

If it were a room
Would be one with corners lost in gloom
And if it were a song
Would be sung with a slow and plaintive tune
And if it were a face
Would contain a sadness you couldn’t place
But if it were a flower
It would not be a rose

If it were the sea
Would rise-up, swell and swallow me
And if it were my heart
Would fill up full and fall apart
And if it were the ground
Would pull me in without a sound
But if it were a flower
It would not be a rose

"It Would Not Be Rose" by Josienne Clarke is a hauntingly beautiful song that explores the idea of something not being what it appears to be. The lyrics compare the subject to various objects and elements, such as a flower, a bird, a tree, a room, a song, a face, the sea, and the heart, ultimately concluding that if it were a flower, it would not be a rose. The melancholic melody and Clarke's emotive vocals create a sense of longing and introspection, making the listener ponder the true nature of things. The song is a poignant reflection on the complexities of life and the human experience.
