“Never Quite Right” by Kraków Loves Adana – A Song Review

     “Never Quite Right” is an example of the power of music to open the door of communication. Most people don’t have the patience to listen to others brood about how things aren't as good as they could be. “I fight the battle in between” what is needed and what is wanted. On the other hand, properly setting the sentiment to music makes the brooding attractive and thought-provoking.

     In 1969, The Rolling Stones explained that you can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, well you might find, you get what you need. That’s a positive spin. Kraków Loves Adana from Hamburg, Germany took a different approach. They are the duo of Deniz Cicek and Robert Heitmann.

Lyrics of “Never Quite Right” by Kraków Loves Adana
In the middle of some noisy street
Icy fingers and inked knees
Wrapped in clouds and in concrete
I missed the rain, I lost the keys

It’s what I know, it’s what I feel
I fight the battle in between
A longing for the picturesque
A crushing weight pressed to my chest

And it’s never quite right
Never quite right
Never quiet
[Repeat]

Some things are better left unsaid
This silence is so accurate
Born from fire, carved in bones
Thrown off balance, set in stone

It’s what I know, it’s what I feel
I fight the battle in between
A longing for the picturesque
A crushing weight pressed to my chest

And it’s never quite right
Never quite right
Never quiet

It’s never quite right
I’m never quite right
Never

In the neon lights
Voices paralyzed
In the decent wind
Sequences slide

In the neon lights
Underneath it lies
As the time flies by
Suddenly it feels right
