Kings of Convenience é uma dupla notável, pois a suavidade e a simplicidade de suas canções é o tempero certeiro para agradar qualquer ouvinte, mesmo muito exigente. Ecos do Simon & Garfunkel são bem-vindos, sem descaracterizar o estilo desses dois talentosos músicos noruegueses. Excelente!
I'm Norwegian. and I've never heard of these PURE GENIUSES!!!!! They remind me of the smooth psychedelic album Phanerothyme (undoubtedly one of the best albums of all time) by the Norwegian band Motorpsycho.
Wait - listen closer. It's not a sax, it's a trumpet. But that is even more beautiful. Even if, by that, they rather sound like Belle & Sebastian (which i like just as much).
the more i listen to them, the more i feel sure that they dont sound like Belle and Sebastian, they might be heads of a similar beast, but no, they are far more...sublime
Great song.... I am going to upload it in HD on this channel :) Probs tomorrow sometime anywho visit my channel later to hear it in HD as it should be heard.
@dephtful Same with the strings. Seems like somehow they tried to dress up the song to make it a single. Does anyone knwo if this version has been played on the radio?
However, one of the most comforting songs of all time, even of KoC.
Thanks for posting this video. I'm a singer/songwriter from Dublin and this band has inspired me to write and play in a completely different style. The videos on my page 'New York' and 'She is Art' were inspired by Kings of Convenience. If you're a fan of Kings of Convenience then give my songs a chance. Maybe someday I can be as good as them. Cheers, Des
I bet Bergen isn't like that in January, I've heard it costs 10 Euros for a beer too. This is the single version by the way. The album one has no sax or strings and has different drum fills. Quiet is the New Loud is an album I come back to over and over again, just superb.....
to whomever still figuring out norwegian (and nordic whatsoever) people as "cold ,.and emotion-less" folk...just listen to them , and then to Cardigans as well!
to whomever still figuring out norwegian (and nordic whatsoever) people as "cold ,.and emotion-less" folk...jut listen to them , and then to Cardigans as well!
just started listening to these guys last night and i love em. i sort of get a tears for fears vibe from them. can anyone recomend some more songs from these guys!
This band is amazing. If I ever feel anxious, stressed, or I'm just plain under pressure, their music raises my mind back out of Hell to remember the gift of love for life.
And the moral of the video is? Don't live in London, you'll be all alone and unhappy. Instead live in Norway where the scenery is beautiful and the women even more beautiful.
I wish i could share this music with people who apreciate it... People are so afraid o being lonely for a moment... Kings gave loneliness a new meaning, its just a moment to be happy with yourself. Peace
@jorgecds True words right there. I have friends who go from one relationship to t he other all right in a row w/o taking a break. I take breaks to find myself and have fun in between relationships and to go to topless bars.
In my opinion the arrangement is completely unnecessary. One of the virtues they have is that they don't need a big production (hence Kings of Convenience). And the orchestra and trumpet adds nothing to an already great song. Of course it doesn't kill it either, the song's too good.
"Summer 98"?! OMG they were so young!
And still we're listening to thisi song, more than 10 years later.....

In my opinion the arrangement is completely unnecessary. One of the virtues they have is that they don't need a big production (hence Kings of Convenience). And the orchestra and trumpet adds nothing to an already great song. Of course it doesn't kill it either, the song's too good.
