"Star Is Just A Sun"
"Star Is Just a Sun" creates an enveloping mood of whispered romantic drama, with an aching atmosphere. Endless soft layers of warm keyboard and organ sounds and reverbed guitar cradle each song.
Singer and multi-instrumentalist Ola Flottum occasionally sings falsetto, but always sings softly, enhancing the keen sense of intimacy that the White Birch create so beautifully, while leaving attention to the poetic lyrics.

Lyrics
Whenever she's alone, Alone that child she dares
To flair her icy bones, Half naked into the air
Just to find the spot, The one that makes you weak
To draw more than the queen's lot, By the end of every week
And you can tell me, About the useless sea
On behalf of the widow, Of a sailor soon to be free
You can tell me, About the useless sea
And we can dance like diamond thieves at the fair
And we can dance like open windows in the evening air
Whenever she's alone, That woman dares to keep
Leaking boats built too low, To move us in our sleep
And if you find the place, The one that made you grow
Crowns of flowers in the girl's face, Chasing blood into the river's flow
And you can tell me, About the useless sea
On behalf of the widow, Of the sailor soon to be free
You can tell me, About the useless sea
And we can dance like diamond thieves at the fair
And we can dance like open windows in the evening air
