about

“Birch is a song about feeling vulnerable yet elated. About starting a new phase of life and love, yet also knowing that this elation could be snatched away at any given moment. The Birch tree here is a symbol for this feeling, and its branches moving in the wind resemble a feeling of freedom and excitement.” Marianne explains. “Birch was the first song written for my debut album The Keeper, so it feels like an extra special one to release. The video was filmed entirely on Super 8 in The Lake District by my good friend Martha Webb, whose work I’ve long admired. She also made the incredible dress that I am wearing in the video.”

lyrics

LYRICS

Paper white bark, paper white bark
I’m stretched out on the road, stretched out on the road
A draw in the dark, you draw me so stark
I’m stretched out on the road, stretched out on the road

Can I reach you this time?
Can I reach you this time?

Each time that I go to swim
I feel the letting go of pins
Each time my mind clattering
I feel a heavy weight go sailing

Can I reach you this time?
Can I reach you this time?

Branches blow
Move us along
In the night glow
Losing your song

Branches blow
Move us along
In the night glow
Losing your song

Paper white bark, paper white bark
I’m stretched out on the road
