The band made a name for themselves by writing their first single called “The Mess”, recording it, mixing and mastering it in just 6 hours. While still in high school the band recorded an EP in an Oslo basement and the tracks became some of the most played songs on Norwegian national radio NRK this year. The single “the Mess” also received solid airplay on radio in the US.
Kid Astray debuted with the track ‘The Mess’ in late 2013. The song became track of the week on national radio and was immediately added to playlist rotation, where it remained for over 20 weeks. It went on to get play on BBC1, KCRW, Sirius and many more stations internationally.
Kid Astray followed up with their second single “Best of Us” which entered into even higher rotation on NRK and landed them gigs at most major Norwegian festivals and also a few in the UK. In the meantime, the band managed to record a self-produced EP in the same basement studio, which was released on prestigious American indie label Mom+Pop gaining them radio play on a few further singles.
After signing to a record deal with Swedish independent label Cosmos (Say Lou Lou, Naomi Pilgrim) the band began writing and recording in Sweden and the UK with the like of Peter Morén (Peter, Bjørn and John), Markus Jagerstedt (Robyn), Erik Hassle and Tord Øverland Knutsen (the Wombats). With loads of new tunes, an extremely tight live set and 5/6 members reaching legal drinking age Kid Astray are ready to take over the world.
IT'S ALRIGHT
Kid Astray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And never chased it, 'cause it went too fast
So it scared me that I found
Another person when I turned around
Now you keep letting me
With your own stupidity
It makes me curious
How you get so furious
But it's alright
You are gonna make it alright
It's alright
You said it will be outta sight
Oh
You have a shorter fuse
It's your new normal, but it's no excuse
You might feel bulletproof, but
You never realize that when you lose
And it stays the same
That is how it's always been
Fools go operate
And they always let you down again
But it's alright
You are gonna make it alright
It's alright
You said it will be outta sight
So if you ever contemplate
All seeming with resounding fate
Ill find a way to make you see
You're tearing up my dignity
Alright
You never talked about the past
And lost you temper everytime I asked
It's alright
You are gonna make it alright
It's alright
You said it will be outta sight
But it's alright
You are gonna make it alright
It's alright
You said it will be outta sight

Another person when I turned around
Someone else was standing there when I looked back.
Now you keep letting me
You continue to allow me
With your own stupidity
To be subjected to your foolishness

Fools go operate
Foolish people do what they do
And they always let you down again
And they always disappoint once more.
So if you ever contemplate
If you ever consider
All seeming with resounding fate
All of my feelings appear to be fateful.
Ill find a way to make you see
I'll find a way to make you comprehend
You're tearing up my dignity
You're destroying my self-respect.
Alright
Okay
You never talked about the past
You rarely conversed on previous events.
And lost you temper everytime I asked
And grew angry each time I inquired.
