Het Noorse duo Kings Of Convenience weet in hun muziek een heerlijke, relaxte sfeer te creëren, door hun prachtige gitaarspel en mooie samenzang. Je kunt het bijvoorbeeld horen in hun lied Mrs Cold, dat komt van hun derde album Declaration Of Dependence uit 2009.

Het duo bestaat uit de singer/songwriters Erland Oye en Eirik Glambek Boe. Ze spelen niet heel veel samen, met drie albums in de afgelopen 15 jaar. Maar binnenkort zijn ze weer te zien en treden ze zelfs op in Nederland, dus is er goede hoop op een nieuw album.

Mrs Cold
Hey baby, Mrs. Cold.
Acting so tough.
Didn’t know you had it in you
to be hurt at all.

You waited, too long.
You should’ve hook me,
before I put my raincoat on.

OK I get it.
OK I see.
You were fronting because
you knew you’d find yourself
vulnerable around me.

OK I get it.
OK I see.
You feel vulnerable around me.

Hey baby, what’s going on?
You lost control
and you lost your tongue.

You lost me.
Deaf in my ear.
Nothing you can say
is gonna change the way I feel.

OK I get it.
OK I see.
You were fronting because
you knew you find
yourself vulnerable around me

OK I get it.
OK I see.
I step too close to your boundaries.
You wanted nobody around to see.
You feel vulnerable around me.

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