Kings of convenience - Winning a battle, losing the war

[pacouj22]

Done.. Just bought their cd on iTunes, and I must be sincere, I rarely buy cd's.

[islandsintheskyful]

Its so nice how they have this plutonic body language going, even though they sing about a girl.

[EnMexicoComenTacos]

everything is new...

[TheFinancialSiddhu]

just get lost please leave me alone

[torbensager]

[shiela100]

Where are they from? Which country?

[Solitars1]

@shiela100

From Norway

[shiela100]

@Solitars1 Oh cool, I thought I understood some of what they were saying...

Because I´m from Denmark - so that´s why xD

[Apexyy]

@shiela100 the one with the glasses are from germany, and the other one is from my town, bergen in Norway :)

[shiela100]

@Apexyy Cool, then you might have seen him (from Bergen) before somewhere near you?

[Apexyy]

@shiela100 cant say i have, but it would have been cool to say hello to him, and yeah its not far from me

[shiela100]

@Apexyy Yeah it really would be cool :D

[Helcaloth]

@Apexyy Germany? Are we talking about the same guy with glasses here? O.o

Erlend has lived a little while in Germany, fair enough, but he's just as much Norwegian as Eirik :)

[Apexyy]

@Helcaloth i had to recheck the interview with them now, and i was wrong, i thought he said he was from germany, my bad :P im also from bergen u see, the same town as they BOTH are XD lol i thought it was just one of them

[Mynamestreet]

i have felt just like the lyrics, its fucking harsh,

[kishanoua]

[dyscolemonade]

[maineimisale]

è meravigliosa

[awfulguitarplucker]

@maineimisale solo? mi ha liquefatto le coronarie! chi si azzarda ancora a dire che i nordici sono "freddi" ne risponderà a me di persona!

Kings of Convenience cittadini Italiani Onorari!

[gquenzogy]

listening to this song while very sleepy makes you listen "The day breaks and everything is null" at the end...with a strange accent on it

[teluricooo]

The sun sets on the war. The day breaks and everything is new.

[snaildragon]

This is amazing.

[ryandtrimble]

I love the hopeful tag toward he end: The day breaks and everything is new. They're so poetic too. But the lyrics v. music are subtle, which is pleasant and easy on the ears.  Relaxing is the word that comes to mind.

[collegeboy132]

their Guitar harmony is on point...when you work with somebody for long enough you just know

[diazlavalladeandres]

where are these guys come from??

[Luisrox123]

@diazlavalladeandres norway

[gillobao]

One of my favourite from KOC... Really nice melody and voices

[rosaaface]

Youtube needs a repeat button, if only for this song. <3

[Supergeni2]

@rosaaface

If you really want it to repeat, go to endlessyoutube.

[ElectricMaze]

i just got goosebumps from my arms to my legs while listening to this. pleasantly creepy.

[MundaneGeneric]

I still get goosepimples even after about 100,000 plays !

[angehardy]

How great are these guys! This is definitely one of my top 10 favourite songs in the world. This gives me goosbumps every single time.

[slaucDklauc]

[Xnear]

Fucking awesome. 

[talldwarfs1]

SIMPLEMENTE HERMOSO

[jacktala1]

beautiful song. i am a male...and this song is about male heartbreak...so we "connect" with it ALOT.

[ArchersBowHaveBroken]

"the day breaks and everything is new.........oh shit..." My sentiments exactly.

[LFCzeppelin8]

[alannaallen]

[Benjaxin]

....Even though I'm not her minder,

even though she doesn't want me around,

I am on my feet to find her,

to make sure that she is safe "*from harm*"....

[AnnaBananaoh11]

Even though I'll never need her, even though she's only giving me pain, I'll be on my knees to feed her, spend a day to make her smile again Even though I'll never need her, even though she's only giving me pain As the world is soft around her, leaving me with nothing to disdain. Even though I'm not her minder, even though she doesn't want me around, I am on my feet to find her, to make sure that she is safe and sound. The sun sets on the war, the day breaks and everything is new..

[raisaa18]

[RoCkaS90]

it's beyond beautiful.. puff KOC! RULES!

[distantdreams2008]

(..) the day beaks - and everything is new..

its wonderfull!

[eggizgud]

agree with you on that. love those last lines coming after everything. can just see everything.

[distantdreams2008]

in german it gives a sentence like: new day - a new luck, or a new chance "neuer tag, neues glück" - i just like these sentences with happynes and hope in it..

[sseminarioc]

this is one of the best songs they have

[enkiitu]

I completely agree with you, I just feel bad because I will never listen to this song for the first time again.

I remember it giving me goose bumps.

Especially when they sing for the first time "everything is new".

An incredible mix of melody and harmony, so perfect... They really got this one right from beginning to end.

[wonderturtle1000]

"Especially when they sing for the first time "everything is new"."

agreed. thats a special musical moment.

[leavesontrees]

[leo87272]

Wow!

[matosanz]

simon & garfunkel sons

[surfahgurl77]

@matosanz

Those were my thoughts exactly!!

[catmousie]

pure, simple, direct, wholehearted, honest. Must be love. Pain's a bargain!

[bassetmuse]

By far my favorite duo...absolutely beautiful song.

[WhiteBrightLightning]

why is it that nobody else writes music as beautiful as they do?

[erikalihn]

MARAVILLOSA.....

[keeponboys]

please dry my tears. So beautiful, or vacker in swedish.

[PEANUTPANPAN]

my beloved bf broke up with me and he sent me this song.

i love him.

[KingsVivian]

Lovely.

[lunchmeat317]

Does anyone know which guitar tuning this song uses? I really don't think it's in standard and I can't comprehend how the fingerstyle player isn't moving his fretting hand for those chords.

[monodistortion]

The guitar tuning is EADGAE.

The web site bancey(dot)com has pretty accurate tabs.

[marouskaya]

breathtaking...

[h0k13]

jesus christ - what beautiful picking

[bnoyman]

beautiful

[kenty233]

Do they still play together..new songs?

[monodistortion]

Check out their web site or myspace. They have a new album coming out in October (2009).

[LeChoixdEddie]

Yes, their new album is called "Declaration of Dependence" and will be released in October (the first single is Mrs Cold, you can find it on the web easily). I listened to the all thing, and it's once again beautiful.

[LesYeuxDeDarius]

I only discovered them recently but I must say they are extremely amazing as a duo. I feel so calm when I listen to them...

[sweetsammyc]

if kings of convenience is 'emo' because they sing about their feelings, you're even more emo for expressing them in a youtube comment.

kings of convenience is PURE, RAW SEX

in a romantic way

[didiwrestling]

that's a funny definition hahahaha! i liked it!

[Vee90]

Grazie mille per questo video. C'era meraviglioso. <3

[Perseas555]

This is a truly sweet song..

Τέλειο απλά..

[why1214]

[artefan22]

EMO

[ELCHimoiX1]

[artefan22]

jjajaja Para nada que le pongo EMO a Kings of conveniece, me gusta mucho el dueto, le puse EMO a uno que se llama why1214 por su comentario de que gasta su tiempo con una chava que no nota que el la ama con toda su vida. Pinchi vatillo EMO que quiere llamar la atencion sonando romantico.

Yo te apoyo Chimo Kings es la onda.

Pasatela chido.

[thatcherpoe]

Great

[leekmuncha]

An amazing song sung with sensitivity and passion that I can only compare to the works of the god like Nick Drake and Radioheads track Faust Arp. Love it, a timeless monumental song
