If you wanna be my friend
You want us to get along
Please do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I am doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanour
But one of us misread...
And what do you know
It happened again
A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn't notice
friendship is an end
What do you know
It happened again
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?
What do you know

Oh nice, I've never actually known anyone outside of my group of friends who knows Kings of Convenience. Have you heard his (edit: Erlend's) solo stuff and/or The Whitest Boy Alive?
I already posted a lot of Sakamoto a while back. But bibo no Aozora is good.
I learned to play forbidden colours on the piano. But have since forgotten it. Que lastima.
I don't know about the nature album. I saw it awhile ago but I wouldn't call it music... well... it's relaxing music. Idk.
Nah not yet. I'll make sure I get a listen though.
They're all pretty good. His first solo album is kind of electronica and his second one is verging on reggae without actually being reggae which is nice. And then The Whitest Boy Alive was originally conceived as an electronic project but shifted into a groovy indie rock sound before they even put anything out. I'd say that The Whitest Boy Alive is a must-listen.
I took a listen yesterday. Dreams I thought was nice- my personal favorites were Borders and All Ears. The overall upbeat was something I could vibe with. I'd recommend.
Rules on the other hand seemed more like one of those albums you leave on playing in the background. Really mellow, though I didn't mind it. It picks up from the middle I think, starting with Rollercoaster Ride. But uh, it goes full beta male mode after 1517. The vibe isn't that pretty- well at least for me; at the moment.![]()

Someday, when it won't hurt anyone
I will bide my time, and I will be done
I love Chester and the lyrics in Blackout, but this version gets my blood flowing:
