Directed by Jenny Berger Myhre with Jenny Hval Filmed on tour between 20152024, and edited by Jenny Berger Myhre Lyrics: Now, imagine a stage decorated with intention. This stage is obviously, literally, falling apart. A rose is a rose is a rose is a cigarette. The stage. .. is now decorated. .. with cigarette smoke. From a hundred, no from a thousand mouths in synchrony This is every cigarette my mother ever smoked Dreaming to be a rose But too far to be a rose. I was singing in my room, she smoked on the balcony, Long inhales and long exhales performed in choreography Over our deadend town, smoke moving delicately Dreaming up the summer air, twirling like our real body To be a rose But too far to be a rose Music travels dressed in hazer, dressed as us, if you didn t get it. And so I dress in the stage, the microphone, the flowerbed, Underneath is curtain calling, follow me, flower instead Give me a rose Too far to be a rose
