about
The singer and composer behind WHERE DID NORA GO, Astrid Nora, is back with one more single, ‘RETURNING’, which precedes the upcoming EP, whose songs have all been created during lock down and which goes under the working title ‘Songs of Solace’.
‘RETURNING’ is about losing oneself. About the longing for connection. AND - it is about returning to oneself. To find one’s way back home. And thereby also learning to take loving care of oneself. The song's last chorus is a promise to never leave oneself again - or at least to keep coming back! Again and again. Because in reality, we may never really lose ourselves.Fortunately. But we can lose the feeling of being whole and connected.
The single is produced in close collaboration with Aske Bode who has also worked with Oh Land, Irah, Hymns From Nineveh, Penny Police, Tårn, Annika Aakjær. The new collaboration has brought a new lightness with it and a more open expression that plays beautifully into the newly composed songs.
lyrics
I return again and again
To find you, to find you
I go back again and again
To anchor my love
You are the one who comes undone
You dissipate, but darling
Where you go
Wait for me
I’ll follow anywhere you go
Don't disappear
Don't sever the strings that tie us
I lost sight a thousand times
I lost you, you slipped through my hands
Disappeared without a sign Into the unknown
You are the one who’s come undone
You dissipate, but darling
When you go
Wait for me
I’ll follow anywhere you go
Don't disappear
Don't sever the strings that tie us
When the moon is high
We will moor your soul with a silver thread
So you can stay here – for now
When you go
I’ll wait for you
I’ll follow anywhere you go
I won’t disappear
Won’t sever the strings
When you go
I’ll wait for you
I’ll follow anywhere you go
I won’t disappear
Won’t sever the strings that tie us

Where Did Nora Go is:
Astrid Nora Lössl - vocals, synth, cello, claps, breathing
Astrid Nora has been singing and playing music even before she could speak. With a Dutch mother who was a concert pianist,
and a father who has always been a true storyteller, she was raised on words and music from infancy. The Steinway Grand Piano has always been a centerpiece in her home, and Astrid Nora started playing and singing her own songs early on....more
A nostalgic record full of ambling rhythms, vivid imagery, and cotton-soft melodies tapped out on an ever-present ’70s synth-organ hybrid. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 11, 2021
