Diane Birch (born January 24, 1983) is an American singer-songwriter.
Birch was born in Michigan. At the age of seven Birch began studying piano using the Suzuki method. While growing up she listened to opera, classical and church music. As a child Birch lived with her family in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Sydney, Australia, as her father was a Seventh-day Adventist preacher whose work took him to several countries. When she was ten, her family returned to the United States of America, and settled in Portland, Oregon. Birch attended Portland Adventist Elementary School and later, Portland Adventist Academy.
Early in her career Birch moved to Los Angeles and set out to compose music for films but instead played piano at the Beverly Hills Hotel and L'Orangerie. During this period Prince heard her perform at the Polo Lounge in 2006 and invited her to join him at his home for a music session with his band. Later, Birch moved to London, where she signed a publishing contract and wrote most of the songs that appeared on her debut album.
Cut the cord, make amends
This is where our story ends
No more promises to keep,
When a dandelion blows
Somewhere else another grows
Bigger, prouder everyday
Oh maybe I will see your face
Every now and again
Maybe when the wind chimes dance
On my window pane
I know that I could win this race
Every now and again
But nothing's going to change this phase,
Noo ohh-wu oh ooh oh ooh
Maybe with a crystal ball
Am I gonna show it all?
Cuz I got promises to keep
When an open probe
Is a heavier load
But I told you not to worry 'bout me
Close your eyes and go to sleep
And maybe I will see your face
Every now and again
Maybe when the wind chimes dance
On my window pane
I know that I could win this race
Every now and again
But nothing's going to change this place,
Noo ohh-wu oh ooh oh ooh
Dry your tears
Cuz we got stories we can tell
We got holes that we can fill up
With our dreams, with our dreams
Ooh ooh
And maybe I will see your face
Every now and again
Maybe when the wind chimes dance
On my window pane
I know that I could win this race
Every now and again
But nothing's going to change this place,
