The band attracted great attention at the music industry festivals South By Southwest 2006 (SXSW) and Canadian Music Week 2006, and back in January 2004, Kira and the Kindred Spirits were among the major attractions at the Midem international music industry trade fair in Cannes.
Kira and the Kindred Spirits released their debut album ’Happiness Saves Lives’ to critical acclaim in 2002. The album highlighted Kira's intense voice and her unique talent for giving emotional expression to life's ups and downs. In 2005 came the follow-up, ’This Is Not An Exit’, followed most recently by an album named after the band, ’Kira and the Kindred Spirits’, in April 2006.
Kira is the dominant figure in the Kindred Spirits, and it is also her personality and story which have largely defined the band's image. As a child she was sent by her parents to family members in California. However, she ended up in London at the tender age of 17. Here she formed the band Butterfly Species together with the guitarist Pink, as well as Orson Wajid and the front man from Dear, Laust Sonne.
Kira - moving back to Denmark- formed Kira and the Kindred Spirits with drummer Johan Lei Gellert. The two were later joined by Orson Wajid (Butterfly Species) and Rune Kjeldsen (Dear, Sort Sol). John Lei Gellert was later replaced on drums by Jesper Lind, and Orsan Wajid was replaced by Nicolai Munch-Hansen.
In 2007 the band split up, and Kira continued solo. Her first soloalbum were out in 2008: "The Rail Train, The Meadow, The Freeway and The Shadows" See more at her homepage: http://www.kiramusic.com/
Losing You
Kira and the Kindred Spirits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unsatisfied
My world is caving in
And I've got no place left to hide
And I won't let you down
But I've got scars in my mind
Your life is in my hands
Things are fine
Although I am scared
To sing you this song
I'm scared the words I say
Will cast in stone the
Damage done
And all that we have tried
And all that we did wrong
And who will hold the blame
And who will fight
Til love moves on
And I...
I'm losing, Yes I'm
Losing you again...
And how is that babe
How is that babe
How is that my friend
You've got you pain
To tend to
A day to put an end to
A womb to climb back into
And a love that never bends you
Well all it seems
I'm left with is some
Clarity to lend you
All it seems I'm left with
Is some truth to offend you
And I'm...
I'm losing you, I'm
Losing you again...
Have you ever waited
Too long
When you knew your life's
Gone Wrong
And I'm...
I'm losing, Yes I'm
Losing you again...
And again, and again...
The lyrics of Kira and the Kindred Spirits' song Losing You express the torment when relationships are falling apart. The first verse finds the singer feeling like they have no place left to hide as their world caves in. They confess to their partner that they have scars in their mind and are struggling with their life's challenges, even though they won't let their partner down. They reveal they are fearful of singing the song to their partner because they don't want to "cast in stone the damage done." The song's chorus amplifies the singer's fear of losing their partner again and asking them how to mend their friendship, their perception of life post-breakup is one of confusion, pain, and truth-seeking.
The second verse is an explicit acknowledgment of reality, with the singer confronting their partner with clear-eyed honesty. They urge their partner to tend to their pain, wondering out loud whether there is still a love unbroken that binds them. The singer talks about being left with some clarity to lend and the truth that may offend. The song's refrain drives home the singer's anxiety and fear of losing their relationship, questioning their decisions and actions that might have led to the current state.

Tonight I'll go to bed
I'm going to bed feeling unsatisfied with my life
Unsatisfied
I'm unhappy and unfulfilled
My world is caving in
I feel like my life is falling apart
And I've got no place left to hide
I have nowhere to escape from my problems
And I won't let you down
I won't disappoint you
But I've got scars in my mind
I have emotional pain and trauma that affects me every day
Your life is in my hands
I have a responsibility to take care of you
I can't pretend that things are fine
I can't ignore the problems we're facing
Although I am scared
Despite my fear
To sing you this song
To admit my feelings through music
I'm scared the words I say
I'm worried that what I say will have negative consequences
Will cast in stone the damage done
Will solidify the harm that has been caused
And all that we have tried
Despite our efforts
And all that we did wrong
Despite our mistakes
And who will hold the blame
Who will take responsibility
And who will fight til love moves on
Who will continue the fight until things get better
And I...
And me
I'm losing, yes I'm losing you again...
I'm losing you and our relationship is falling apart once again
And how is that babe
How did we get here?
How is that babe
How did we end up like this?
How is that my friend
Why did things go wrong?
You've got your pain to tend to
You have your own struggles to deal with
A day to put an end to
A day to move past and leave behind
A wound to climb back into
A past trauma to revisit
And a love that never bends you
A relationship that doesn't support or uplift you
Well all it seems I'm left with is some clarity to lend you
All I can offer you is some insight and understanding
All it seems I'm left with is some truth to offend you
All I have to offer may be hurtful or challenging
And I...
And me
I'm losing you, I'm losing you again...
I'm losing you and our relationship is falling apart once again
Have you ever waited too long
Have you ever let something go on for too long?
When you knew your life's gone wrong
When you knew things weren't right but still let them continue
And I...
And me
I'm losing, yes I'm losing you again...
I'm losing you and our relationship is falling apart once again
And again, and again...
This keeps happening over and over again
