The Savage Rose is a Danish psychedelic rock group, founded in 1967 by Thomas Koppel, Anders Koppel, Alex Riel, Jens Rugsted, Flemming Ostermann, and singer Annisette Koppel. Ilse Marie Koppel was also participating. Nils Tuxen replaced Flemming Ostermann from their second album.

Since the mid-1970s, the group was an acoustic trio consisting of Thomas Koppel, Annisette Koppel (then Hansen) and John Ravn as a core. From the beginning of the 1990s, the group returned to electric instrumentation. Thomas Koppel died on February 25, 2006.

After 47 years and 21 studio albums, they are still going strong.

I was born with so much longing
And aaaa of hope became my song
Like all the world's
Girl voices
Opened up
An unknown land
When all that we saw
Was reaching out for hands to hold
And hearts cried
For love
You know it now
However little you are
In your arms you're holding
The earth & the sky
Like all your hands' caresses
Hold the shards of night and day
You're travelling
Along with life
Struggling on
Since a hundred years
The soul wants to dance
Like the shinning sun of spring
And the baby
Is kissing mom
You know it now….
The soul wants to dance
Like the shining sun of spring
And the baby
Is kissing mom
You know it now….
