kings of convenience are my go-to band when i want mellow, chilled-out music to calm me down.
they're described as an indie folk pop duo from norway, & if you've heard the whitest boy alive that's Øye's side-project.
a lot of the stuff on their album riot on an empty street reminds me of quieter simon & garfunkel, which is not a bad thing.
one of my favourite tracks is homesick.
i'll lose some sales & my boss won't be happy
but i can't stop listening to the sound
of two soft voices
blended in perfection
from the reels of this record that i've found.
every day there's a boy in the mirror asking me
what are you doing here?
finding all my previous motives
growing increasingly unclear.
i've traveled far & i've burned all the bridges
i believed as soon as i hit land
all the other options held before me,
would wither in the light of my plan.
so i'll lose some sales & my boss won't be happy
but there's only one thing on my mind
searching boxes underneath the counter
on a chance that on a tape i'd find
a song for someone who needs somewhere to long for.
homesick
because i no longer know where home is.
