“Rule My World” by Kings of Convenience

I talk before I think.
You shoot before you know who’s in your line of fire.
So somehow we’re the same, we’re causing people pain.
But I stand and take the blame, you scramble to deny it.

“Misread” by Kings of Convenience

How come no one told me all throughout history the loneliest people were the ones who always spoke the truth - the ones who made a difference by withstanding the indifference? I guess it’s up to me now. Should I take that risk or just smile?

“Mrs. Cold” by Kings of Convenience

Hey baby
What is love?
It was just a game
We’re both playing and we can’t get enough of

“Freedom And Its Owner” by Kings of Convenience

Show a view to someone who chose to live his whole life in cave 
He’ll raise his arms to protect his eyes from burning
And the blindness to which he belongs 

Current favorite. Can’t stop listening!

“Boat Behind” by Kings of Convenience

Did we spend this time chasing the other’s tail?
Singing
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you

I’ve been listening to a lot of KoC at work. I have to admit, I am totally taken by this album. This song, especially. I find their songs very nice to listen to while reading screenplays and such.

“Love Is No Big Truth” by Kings of Convenience

All I do is sleep all day and think of you
A memory of the cushion life I’m clinging to
The image of a mutual one, our haven
The somber chords of our song, the fading

Love is no big truth
Driven by our genes, we are simple selfish beings
A symphony that’s you
Joyously awaking the ignorant and sleeping

The only KoC song that I have and I do kind of like it.

This guy from Kings of Convenience played guitar for Jens Lekman.
