Encyclopedia
A Temporary Dive is the second album
by the Norwegian
singer-songwriter
Ane Brun
, initially released in Norway and Sweden on 7 February 2005. The album debuted at #1 in her native Norway.
The track "Song No. 6" features the Canadian singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith
and also appears on her Duets
album. It was recorded at an after-show party following their performances at the Storsjöyran
festival in Östersund
, Sweden
. The track "Balloon Ranger" was said by Ane to be analogous to her troubles learning the English language, or rather how she sometimes comes up with nonsense words that have no logical meaning, but nonetheless make for great songwriting. She later used the song's title for the name of her record label.
Versions of the album were released in the UK and US in 2006, and in Japan in 2007, each with different tracklistings and different artwork. The original album was re-released on CD for the European market in spring 2010, featuring new artwork (the same as that used for the 2006 US release) and a bonus track, "Half Open Door".
