Kings Of Convenience - I'd Rather Dance With You

[@tigerboxx9648]

I met Erlend. he sang to me and my best friend in a empty bar, he sang the redemption song by bob marley. I didn't know who he was at the time.. when I found out I flipped out. was an amazing moment

[@EntryLevelLuxury]

cooooooooooool

[@Blockistium]

holy shit

[@ragnarkisten]

Erlend once asked me if I could drive him somewhere, and that he would pay for it. I told him no, didn't want to leave my buddies. "Ok, I still like you," he replied.

[@anb.5376]

Where did these happen?!

[@ragnarkisten]

wont tell

[@HAEJOOOOO]

I feel so old by looking at all the comments that most of people here started to listen to this song recently ... when I was first introduced with this duo, I was 16 and now I'm 28yr old. Time flies!!!!

I just found them because of the new song they dropped recently. Theyre so good though!

This is never getting old. I cry of joy here! And I can not help pointing out the semifact that they use a word that is hardly ever used in popmusic. I only know this one song that uses the word "misinterpretation", a very hard word to rhyme, and they make it work perfectly!

Craziest thing... In 2023 I moved to a small parcel of land, owned ultimately by a friend's family, which was no more than a junkyard in reality. I lived there about a year (in a tent, living off tips from playing my original music in town) and got offered a job at the local Hardee's I'd spent a lot of time at recently due to a loophole in their system allowing me free meals everyday. At that Hardee's job, I heard this song at least once a day and I loved it every time!
