今年夏天像生病的小孩，高烧不断，偶见大雨倾盆。
Ane Brun是我去年夏天听到的女声，生于挪威但身在斯德哥尔摩。偶然搜索发现。面容和声线同样淡然。歌词简单但总能让人有所共鸣和感触。喜欢专辑中偏民谣的歌曲，可以让自己迅速安静下来。可以想见她在小型LIVE的模样，昏黄灯光中，双眼微阖，手指轻轻拨动琴弦，周身散发孤绝的气场，观众似乎从来就不存在。
在她的音乐中，我看到一种简单生活的可能性。而简单又是多不简单的事。
曾经在《清醒纪》中读到
一个在大学里教书的美国女人，在意大利乡下托斯卡纳买下了一座旧房子，并亲手在周围的田野种上了橄榄，葡萄和香草。她用一本蓝色笔记本，在里面记录自己在此过程中的发现，漫游和日常生活。并在里面塞满了菜单，绘画和明信片，诗歌和花园的图样。
她写下如何制作桃子酱，油漆旧房子的百叶窗，种植玫瑰，山野的良辰美景，烹饪意大利菜式，以及在早晨一边喝咖啡一边看广场上的农民卖西红柿。这本兰色笔记本，后来出版成为一本书，成为畅销书榜上译本充满美感的迷人的书。
……
“在接下来的一个星期里，我们一起烹调，去阿雷佐和佩鲁贾游玩，散步，在市场买披肩和床单，互相询问其他朋友的近况……雨天的夜晚很适合喝蔬菜通心粉汤。我们会顺着罗马古道散步到镇上，买一些干酪，芝麻菜，再喝上一杯咖啡。樱桃永远都是那么可口，我们每24小时就会吃上一公斤……”
想象哪个旅居欧洲乡下的女子，在每次深夜写作稍许疲惫时，也许会走进厨房倒一小杯自制的葡萄酒，站在她的古老式样的阳台上，眺望平坦原野上的月光和树影。一个没有试图改变自己原有的经历，而进入新的国家，新的生活，新的精神和视觉冒险中的人，就不会有获得深入生命内核的机会。
她的选择，所提供的是一种简单生活的可能。
这样对我来说很遥远的生活令人神往。后来找到那本《托斯卡纳艳阳下》和同名电影，我还是只能在现实这头向那里观望。
“总是这样的。我们选择什么，就要放弃什么。得到什么，就要舍弃什么。要有对自己纯粹而坚韧的标准，才可以跟着直觉和信念去走。”
Where Friend Rhymes With End
My friend, you left me in the end
I can´t believe I´m writing a song
where friend rhymes with end
But today I must cave in
I have trouble forgetting those beautiful eyes
As it is
I must fill your space with lies
Friend, you left me in the end
I guess I knew it all along
I guess I expected this song
And it is as it appeared
Like a fist in my stomach and
Swallowing tears
Your song turned out a sad one
Just as I feared
Sleeping By The Fyris River
It´s dawn the crack of dawn
A saxophone
An armchair
And a small drum
Sunrise, all smiles
It´s crack of dawn by the Fyris River
Spring morning
We´re singing
The grass is wet from dew
And me and you from wine too
Keeping our feet up
Keeping our feet up
We´re sleeping by the Fyris River
Sleeping three people in
One armchair by the Fyris River
Sleeping three people in
One armchair by the Fyris River
It´s dawn the crack of dawn
A saxophone
An armchair
And a small drum
People passing by
The grass is almost dry
We´re sleeping by the Fyris River
On Off
I look in the mirror and
I am weaker than my reflection
This image is all I seek
As I restlessly wonder up a peek
So I turn it off
And on again
Just like the shifting lights
Of day and night in my doorway
And the memories
Of everything
That´s ever said and done
It makes it easier to leave it on
Monotomy makes me weary
Assurance awakes distructiveness
As I lie in my diary
To justify the choices I make
So I turn it off
And on again
Just like the shifting lights
Of day and night in my doorway
And the memories
Of everything
That´s ever said and done
It makes it easier to leave it on
Little Lights (Feat. Syd Matters)
All of those little lights in the sky
They only stick your feet to the ground
You'd better keep your head down
All of this little dreams in your mind
They only make you wonder why
When you wake up you start to cry
When you come home you just want to die
There was a time you seemed to be fine
You were a rock when you were a child
Waiting for the turn of the tide
You thought the stars were sending you love
How come you never wondered why
When you came home, you started to cry
When you woke up, you wanted to die
All of this little lights in the sky
If you can make them fall you will rise
Just turn the mic of time
I thought I could be able to find
Something to save all I left behind
But as I grew up I changed my mind
And only remained the stars in the sky
With your innocense fly by
Love And Misery(Feat. Tobias Fröberg)
The best in me
Look at us and try to see
look at me
I´m your love and misery
The best in you
I understand what you can do
understand me
I´m your love and misery
You may go
It´s okey restless as you are
Rest with me
I´m your love and misery
This is true
I am fragile just like you
You and me
We are love and misery
Ane Brun,出生并成长于挪威的Molde，21岁时，开始学习吉他和编写歌曲，2000年后，定居于瑞典的斯德哥尔摩，并与2002年与The Tiny乐团的领军人Ellekari Larsson 一起，创立了独立唱片品牌DetErMine Records ，与另一唱片品牌V2 Music联手，开始发行唱片。
她的首张专辑《Spending time with morgan》于2003年在欧洲发行并获得了如潮的好评，同年获得瑞典独立音乐大奖Manifest的提名
她的第二张专辑《A Temporary dive》于两年后（2005年）在欧洲发行，短短的3周后，在她的家乡挪威成为黄金销量唱片。

正如纽约Time Out New York杂志对她作品的评价： 如此完美无瑕的低限主义之美，唤醒的欢乐尤甚于忧伤。
