After a few years of numerous live stints in Sweden and Norway and several non-official EP releases Ane Brun gained her own fan-base and her first official album - Spending Time with Morgan was released at the end of May, 2003 in Scandinavia, and in various European countries in the fall of 2003. The album was released via Ane's own label "DetErMine Records" ("ThoseAreMine Records") that Ane co-owns with Swedish musician Ellekari Larsson and her band The Tiny, and licensed to V2 Music.
A temporary dive released in 2005 built on the first album's success, and is full of songs reflecting on the events following Ane's breakthrough. The fight song records what a struggle it has been, while My lover will go is a haunting tale of woe. One song, Song No.6, features Ane's good friend, Canadian Ron Sexsmith.
In terms of later works, Duets was released in 2005, Changing of the Seasons and Sketches in 2008, and It All Starts with One in 2011 - the first of her Albums to chart outside of Norway / Sweden. A compilation album Songs 2003-2013 was released in 2013.
Ane started her musical career fairly late. It wasn't until she had turned 21 that she took her family's old acoustic guitar to Oslo where she then lived. She quickly found a new best friend in the instrument and for the next two three years she taught herself songs by favourites acts Ani DiFranco, Joni Mitchell, Ben Harper, Nick Drake etc. In the process she began to develop her own style of playing the guitar. In 1998 when on vacation in Spain she brought her instrument (now affectionately named "Morgan") - and her first official live appearances were actually during this trip when she took to the streets in both Barcelona and San Sebastian playing to anyone who would listen, though few would listen.
After this corner had been turned she returned to Norway but now moving to Bergen and things definitely started to happen musically. She started composing her own material and for a while she joined the Norwegian band Damsels in Distress. In 2000 Ane moved to Stockholm and started really venturing out on her own, set on the idea of making a living of performing live with her music.
Since then Ane has been constantly on the road playing everything from the smallest venue to the leading festivals - either solo or with full band (drums, bass, piano electrical and lap-steel guitar). She now lives in Stockholm, Sweden.
She recently collaborated with Koop, an indie swing-funky band, singing in Koop Island Blues, the opening track for the band's last release "Koop Islands"
Oh Love
Ane Brun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right from the start
You were old love
Like we've never been parted
You kissed me
Your hands down my side to my hips
Still shivers inside
All the breathing
About how long
There's hunger for one more time
Lover of mine, when I kissed you
I felt so good, tell this tale to me
Well I won't believe
That I'm already here
Tell this tale to me
No, I won't believe
That we're already here
Oh love, you covered my skin
With your eyes as they found me
I kissed you, danced in your sand
And fell into a never ending moment
And the whisper from your mouth through mine
With those words that gently filled my lungs
Lover of mine, when I'm with you
I forget how am I to being lonely
Living without you
Spend another day passing by you
Don't wanna know how it feels if I do
Tell this tale to me
No, I won't believe
That I'm already here
Tell this tale to me
I won't believe
That we're already here
Tell me, this is real
No, I won't believe
I won't believe
No, I won't believe
No, I won't believe
No, I won't believe

Shivers and sighs

This hunger for one more time
Lover of mine, when I kissed you

And fell into a never-ending moment
Of a whisper from your mouth through mine
With those words that gently filled my lungs

Be alone living without you
Spend another day passing by you

This song hits you so hard when it is about someone who is no longer with you, but in the arms of someone else
@f.apollom.arenas3199
What an exquisite vocalist. The whole world should know her.
@HolandaChiquita
This is by far my favorite song by her! She describes it so perfectly.
I become so happy when I hear it, and at the same time an can cry my eyes out over it...
@pavelbigblue
When a song speaks your voice and feelings about someone you love such as this song, it truly makes you think twice about power of music.
@preitybamania679
Been listening to your songs over and over again, totally in awe of your beautiful voice, Ane!
@julylady24
I discovered this artist by accident and I'm totally in love
@mertsamsa2931
i accidenty fell when read this comment
@maxmiggly5511
Shivers! One of my favs if hers, if not favorite. If you’ve ever had this kind of sensual love & connection, this will instantly take you there. Such a beautiful, encapsulating, old soul & very sensual love. Some never find it, some find it too young, some find it & lose it, some find it but ultimately get betrayed, some find it & run - it scares the shit out of them, some find it but a combination of factors keep it from blossoming, some are very lucky to find it, & precious few, are very lucky enough to find it twice. I get goosebumps listening to this! Thanks!
@silicakoirala9645
I found the love and lost him forever.
@likevitani
This was my grandfathers favorite song. He heard it in an airplane commercial.
He died 5 years ago.
I heard the song while giving birth to my fitst son 3 years ago, and today my grandmother just died, and I listen to this song again
