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/
Save Me
Kira and the Kindred Spirits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From this loneliness and fear
Save me, save me
Someone get me out of here
Save me, save me
Make my worries disapear
And in the nearest corner
With a bag in his hand
Relaxed looking man
He said
Watch me, watch me
I'm not going anywhere
I've got just what you need babe
A remedy,
That will make all your
troubles disapear
he says.
Fear me not dear
I'll get you out of here
I'll take on all your pains
And fears
Trust me, trust me
There's only one way out of here
Forget your past
And your future girl
Its only in this moment
You will find a different world
She looks at him and laughs
She says
Where are you from?
I've got all this responsibility
You know its killing me
Fear me not dear
I'll get you out of here
I'll take on all your pains
And fears
I'll love you, I'll love you
And the road will
see us through
We can leave tonight girl
And then you'll have nothing
left to lose
She finally lightens up
and says
Fuck this life for a laugh
Looks like I've found myself
A man and a half
Now they've gone.
Dancing, dancing.
Oh there dancing out of here.
Ohh.there dancing, outta here.
The opening lines of Kira and the Kindred Spirits’s “Save Me” express a deep sense of isolation and insecurity. The singer is crying out for someone to rescue her from the overwhelming loneliness and fear she feels. She repeats the phrase “save me” three times, as if to emphasize the urgency of her situation. Then, a man appears in the nearest corner, holding a bag in his hand, and approaches the singer. He tells her that he has a remedy that will solve all her worries and make her fears disappear. He urges her to trust him and let him take on all of her pain and fear. The singer gradually begins to trust him and, in the end, they dance away from their problems and disappear.
The lyrics capture the feeling of being lost and desperately seeking a way out. The appearance of the relaxed looking man with a remedy is like a beacon of hope in the darkness. His offer of taking on all the pain and fear is highly symbolic, in that it suggests that the singer can finally let go of her worries and trust someone else to bear the burden. Yet, it also highlights the danger of relying too much on others for our own happiness and fulfillment. Thus, the song is a powerful meditation on the human condition and our struggle to find meaning and connection in life.

Я надеюсь, с Вами все в порядке. Мне очень нравится как Вы поёте. Просто люди, которые умеют хорошо петь, обычно, мягко говоря, не умеют быть счастливыми. Вы умеете петь, будьте счастливой пожалуйста- Вы мне очень понравились
