about

Seemingly impossible choices and conflicts between the world in which one lives versus the world one wants for themselves. The feeling of distance from perhaps an idealized past or indeterminate future. Rather than succumbing to hopeless, however, one accepts that decisions must be made now whatever the outcome might be. Musically this internal dialogue is represented by wild diversions that are eventually compelled to return us to a place where one is forced to “decide” whether for good or ill.

lyrics

Ground control is off the grid
And now there’s no one coming in
I’m flying solo again
I don’t know how I’ll make it home

Some say you can never
Get there again
One way or another
Guess I’m flying in

I’m too far away
I’m too far away
I’m too far away to care

Crashing too fast to stop now
Can’t stop til I hit the ground
Flying fast and coming in hot
Should have died
But here we are

I don’t know how I’ll make it home
Flying bind and all alone
One way or another
I’m coming in

There’s time enough
To find a way
To change
The way things used to be
There’s time enough
For love, for life
To find a way
Time never runs out
When you’ve run so far

One way or another
I’ll make it back someday
Time will lead me
Time will bring me
Back to where
I need to be

One way or another
I’ll make it back
Someday
If I can find a way
To make it through today

about

Nraakors image

Nraakors Iowa City, Iowa

Nraakors is the brainchild of James Kasper, Joseph Norman, and Gigi Macabre. Their music includes aspects of grunge, prog, noise rock, thrash metal, jazz fusion, folk, neoclassical, and free improv. The result is a bit like the composers; weird, a little roughhewn, somewhat sentimental, and equal parts sardonic and sincere. ... more
