wish I was small in sunny days a summer light breeze could lead me further someone would call from beyond the maze of winter freeze and draw me to her eyes that are grey can't see behind the stains of blurring stars and bleeding sun I wish I could stay or silence the rain the solid bars of all that's undone nights in the snow when all you know is a velvet breath and all you long for light is the stain a ball without a chain the sweetest death might make you strong your gaze becomes ice two crystal rollerdice the trembling ground what have you done I wish I could wake as the walls start to quake from the impossibe sound of air that leaves the sun a summer breeze begun of air that leaves the breathing sun
Star Is Just a Sun creates an enveloping mood of whispered romantic drama, with an aching atmosphere that strongly recalls Mark Hollis' solo record. Endless soft layers of warm keyboard and organ sounds and reverbed guitar cradle each song. A heartbeat-like pulse comes to the forefront in "Love Is So Real," and continues into "Beauty King," the only tune with a driving drumbeat. 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 (and English) lyrics optional for listeners.
