about
The song “Birch Trees” was inspired by a vivid dream I had during a difficult time in my life of love and growth. It holds special meaning to me- and I hope to others- when I am looking inward for strength, courage, and self-trust. Contemporary dancers by the name of Q&A Productions brought this beautiful story to life in a collaborative music video of the song which is on youtube.
lyrics
What a beautiful place
Birch trees by the lake
How they whisper my name
I turn back to say to you
Hey I found something
Hey I found something
Something true
Something beautiful
I found something
Let me show you something
Something good
Something good
But you don’t seem to move
Can’t peel your eyes from that book
You’re right where I left you last time
Such a shame to find
‘Cause I found something
I found something
Something true
Something beautiful
I found something
Come with me I found something
Something good
Something good
It’s a beautiful place
Birch trees by the lake
If you don’t feel the same
I’ll go back again without you
To explore something
Go explore something
Something true
Something pure
Explore something
Go explore something
Something new
Something good
It’s a beautiful place
Birch trees by the lake
