Mira B 02:34
I am the voice of the beast in the sea, I'm burning in his throat Mira expanding brightly, she's pulling me inside I am not the star, I'm the floating mass outside My orbit is paved, trodden, and laid to make me feel alive Let me in and feel me pass, If I'm not leaving, than I already have I’m pulled to a darker time always forever tied To the lonesome star inside my lonesome crowded mind I’m your favorite acquaintance yet I’m an alright friend I guess I’m a terror in bed and a husband you fled I’m a boyfriend you’ll regret I'm always tugging at my own sleeve – even harder as you plead I was swallowed whole and now I’m the sounds choking the beast

Oceansong 01:14
If love was a river ours was the sea Lapping and purring it called to me I knew the rhythm and I followed your lead The waves were our voices and our footsteps heartbeats I am shorebound and dreaming The sea is unchanging Our love is what lies beyond – an endless imagined sea (the sun is a torch the ocean is calm the shore is forever I’ll never be home)

ME/EM 03:22
Bar’s been slow tonight but it froze when you came by Float on by my side I’ll pour you a stein You told me you're too old, but now we’re on the same time I’ve been waiting here a while, and it seems just for your smile It’s starting to get cold, and it makes one feel alone Let’s go back to yours and drink what you got cause we both came here to go We spoke of ancient woes and tickled our demons’ toes You sank into my arms heavier as your cheeks rosed Like sinner to the light I’m drawn to your side But we always found ourselves stumbling through the night Sometimes the song’s a lie – I’ve always loved your eyes I also loved your body and everything inside I am pulled to a darker time always forever tied To the lonely star inside my lonesome crowded mind Therein we reside in a room of my design In a dream that I rewind when I’m stumbling thru the night

Swampsong 02:24
If love was a river ours was a stream Trickling and cooing it called to me I chased the sounds and came to a pool There your body sighed and smiled as I slid in next to you The spring air was cool, the water - sun-warmed sweet and clear We splashed while winking – our laughter replaced the crik’s coos We fell asleep as summer stirred and the water stilled Mosses muffled flowers and the insects ruffled you (the sunight is moist our pool is a bog slithering worms and slippery frogs) Eyes glazed I’ve the smile of a drunk I’m swimming in place insane in the muck Then I woke up (six years had past and you were gone covered in sweat my bed is a swamp)

Mira A 03:38
There’s a lonesome star There's me floating slow My orbit is long - close in slingshot out I reach the ends but I’m pulled in again Neon glowing pulses pulling always pulling I feel my weight as I start spinning always spinning If I could stand still for one moment reach the orbits peak Where our hands while reaching almost meet I reached for you and felt myself slipping free A burst from behind – a flash of red light I lost your hand my star expands I’m barreling back The pull is like a choke Ever stronger Ever brighter It’s all I can see

about

PK Flyer is Paul Karner from Ragged Claws. This album was made from tracks exported from the Musyc App made by Fingerlab. There's a little guitar added as well. It was a little experiment in songwriting that was more rewarding in how clumsy and frustrating the basic premise initially seemed to be. Track 3 is the only track that I exported individual components and mixed around, the others were exported in their entirety from my iPhone. All the lyrics are from my heart.

about

Ragged Claws Chicago, Illinois

Waffling between back beat dance hits, blistering atmospheric ballads, and spittoon-ringing americana Ragged Claws sinks everything into a groove melding catchy riffage with afro-rhythms and good ol' rock and roll.
