Ane Brun - Words
Ane Brun (born Ane Brunvoll on 10 March 1976 in Molde, Norway) is a Norwegian international songwriter, guitarist and vocalist. Since 2003 she has recorded eight albums, six of which are studio albums (including a collection of duets) and one live DVD.
She has lived in Stockholm, Sweden since 2001, where she writes, records and runs her own label (Balloon Ranger Recordings) when not on tour.
Ane Brunvoll is the daughter of lawyer Knut Anker Brunvoll (b. 1945) and jazz singer and pianist Inger Johanne Brunvoll (b. Kvien). She grew up in a musical family and her younger sister is vocalist Mari Kvien Brunvoll (b. 1984). Her older sister is photographer Bjørn Brunvoll (b. 1973).
After growing up in Molde, Norway she moved from her home town in 1995 and spent the next few years moving between Barcelona, Oslo and Bergen. In Bergen she began writing her own material while at university (jumping between courses in Spanish, law and music) as well as making a living working in record shops and bars.
After playing a few minor shows and recording her first demos in Bergen in 1999, she moved to Sweden, first to Uppsala and then to Stockholm in 2001, where she started to take her musical career seriously.
Brun featured as one of the guests on Peter Gabriel's 2011 studio album New Blood, singing on the re-recorded version of "Don't Give Up", recorded in 2010. She was subsequently invited to perform with him as support act and back-up singer on the New Blood tour throughout 2010.
In late 2011 Brun released her sixth studio album It All Starts with One, produced by Tobias Fröberg.
On 11 March 2013 Brun performed her own adaptation of Dido's Lament, from Dido and Aeneas by Henry Purcell, at The Roundhouse in London.
On 29 May 2013, Ane Brun released a 32-track collection of songs from her first 10 years in the music industry, entitled Songs - 2003 to 2013, which included four new songs.
On 4 October 2013 she also released a 20-track collection of covers and out-takes entitled Rarities. This album was released as a surprise for fans, with no pre-promotion.
The lyrics:
Words, take her with you
Let her rest in your rhyme
Words, take her away
Somewhere, be on time
Words, ease her breathing
Lay her softly on the floor
There, let her linger
And listen like ever before
Leave, her windows, uncovered at night
And fill her room with the city lights
As they illuminate the sky
It reminds her of the people outside
Cause she won't sleep
Unless she heals her loneliness
Walk with her
Beneath the tree tops
Create new paths and memories
Show her, how the sunlight
Glances through the gaps between the leaves
Words, help her change the world
In only one verse
Tell her to reach for the stars
And to always put love first
Leave, her windows, uncovered at night
And fill her room with the city lights
As they illuminate the sky
It reminds her of the people outside
It reminds her of the people
It reminds her of the people
It reminds her of the people outside
