At the age of twelve, she performed the Whitney Houston hit song "I wanna dance with somebody" on the Norwegian youth TV show "Midt I Smørøyet." Producers were so impressed that they hired her on the spot to host the show. At age 15 she started writing her own songs, and at 17 she sang backing vocals for Noora Noor.
In 2000, Mira made headlines at "Quart festivalen", a Norwegian music festival, when Wyclef Jean pulled her up on stage. American rap artist Snoop Dogg also took interest in her in 2005 at the same festival, and has since used one of her songs on his compilation, Welcome to tha Chuuch: Da Album.
On January 21st, 2006, Craig won the Newcomer of The Year award at "Alarm-prisen," a Norwegian music awards show.
Mira Craig has been declared a musical genius by the Norwegian press for her urban, exotic and worldwide mixed sound. It's filled with voodoo, witch hunts, snake charmers and headhunters manifested in crunk, bounce, r&b, hip hop, keiso, soca, dancehall, and Norwegian and Japanese folk music. She steps in beats and makes samples with her voice, sings high and seductive and low and ruff. The album "Mira Mira" has a diverse and original sound that she describes as dreamy tribal.
Eclipse
Mira Craig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
PROMISE IT WON´T HURT YOUR EYES
IT´S ABOUT THAT TIME
WHEN ALL THE STARS ALIGN
WHEN THE SUN AND MOON INTERTWINE
WHEN I GOT YOUR BACK AND YOU GOT MINE
IT´S THE ECLIPSE
ECLIPSE
ECLIPSE
EVERY SINGLE ROUND HAS BUILT UP TO THIS
ECLIPSE
I´VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG
IT´S WRITTEN IN ALL MY SONGS
WILL YOU BE STRONG
AND TELL ME I´M NOT WRONG
WILL YOU MOVE THIS STORY ALONG
WITH YOUR SUIT AND TIE ON LIKE JAMES BOND
IT´S THE ECLIPSE
EVERYTHING WE´VE DONE HAS BUILT UP TO THIS
ECLIPSE
ECLIPSE
ALL MY RISING SUNS HAVE BUILT UP TO THIS
ECLIPSE
I FEEL IT
I SEE IT
I CAN BREATHE IT
WE SO NEAR IT
I CAN BE IT
BELIEVE IT
I HEAR IT
CAN YOU HEAR IT
HEY
WE SO CLOSE WE SO CLOSE
PLEASE DON´T LET IT SLIP AWAY
JUST GIVE ME A TIME AND PLACE
I KEEP HOPE ALIVE
I´LL TRY TO KEEP MY HEAD UP HIGH
YOU CAN´T DENY
THAT IT WOULD BE DIVINE
LET MY SOUL LEAVE ME AND FLY
BEFORE I EVER CHOOSE TO SAY GOODBYE
JUST KEEP ME IN YOUR SIGHT
DON´T BE SO QUICK TO SO QUICK TO RETRACT
RETRACT
GIVE ME FACTS
GIVE ME TIME TO REACT
KEEP ME IN YOUR SIGHT
HELP ME ON THAT FLIGHT
I´M READY FOR IMPACT
