Lyrics:
Rocky Trail
One more time
Let’s say you give me one more time
One last chance to speak again
Let’s start from what we left unsaid
and here we go
Brave enough to go climbing a wall
so high that no sunlight is seen through winter
Brave enough to go traveling around the world
without money to eat or sleep for
Seeing what you can do with your hands and feet
I feel there is no question about it:
Almost anything you can imagine
Almost any goal
You will get there
I wish you had been more of a talker
Not the kind that is just flapping his lips
And not the kind that looks away
But learns through his eyes when somebody is watching
Maybe you could have told me
There was a world on your shoulders that needed lifting
Maybe I could have helped you with that
The weight is not easy I know
But you never know.
I thought your shoes were good
I thought they would take you to the end of any road
I thought your back was strong
I should have carried you to the top of the rocky I trail
I should have carried you to the top of the rocky trail
How am I to know about your problems and your load
I am blind to what you show
I am waiting to be told
I never ask
How am I to know about your problems and your load
I am blind to what you show
I am waiting to be told
I never ask
#KingsOfConvenience #peaceorlove #rockytrail
And when the world needed them the most, they returned.
JAJSJAJA I love ur coment
Esto es real
You're absolutely right !🤝
That's right, I was needing and now I smile smile smile, in Peace 💚
Exactly 🤘🏻
I love how within the first 5 seconds you can immediately say, "Yep, this is definitely a KoC song."
Just the way of KoC we've always known.
Still reminds me of mid to late 2000's. Its as if time never past.
that's when we forget about labels, styles and genres and just appreciate a pure and only Kings Of Convenion music expression into this world
Maybe it's not the wisest thing to abbreviate it to KoC in specifically that sentence...
@@guidosalescalvano9862 KoC has never been hard. Just smooth and soft.. that's the KoC we've come to know and love.
Listening to this feels like coming back home.
A decade after the last album, this sentence sounds so right...
:(
It really does
Why? where have you been ? 😜
Except you cant because covid travel restrictions
It’s the fact that they recreated the most iconic moments from their past music videos. Erlend dancing like in I’d rather dance with you and Eirik playing the guitar while laying down like in Misread. This video is just so perfect and comforting
And the chess board!
@@alexismallen what's the chess board from?!
wow
@@safalafagins
Riot On An Empty Street album cover?
@@rene2899 love it
Am I smiling? Yes. Am I crying? Almost yes. Not even in my wildest dreams I thought this was going to happen. Its like meeting an old best friend again.
YES! I was like are they back? a new song? is that real? T.T
Exactly that!
Smiling, then crying, yes.
exactly!!!
This song feels like getting a hug from an old friend you haven't seen in years. 🥰
I literally just commented the same thing, without seeing this comment first haha
Funny to see people reacting the exact same way to a song
Honestly!
Absolutely !
exactly the feeling i had! perfect analogy
I felt the same way, first listen to them and its amazing.
I still can't believe they have reunited again after 12 years ....
I can't believe it's been 12! years...
Simple. They need money...
and such a message
Almost anything you can imagine
Almost any goal
You will get there
@@NKKBerlin good job ruining everyone's mood.
"So we meet again
after several years
several years of separation..."
" So we meet again, after several years ,
several years
of separation "
eyyyyyyyyy
Man, the lack of likes from this comment just shows how little many of these people know their songs.... 🤦🏻♂️ Lol
@@hagaras82030 bit of a stretched conclusion based on the likes one comment receives :|
Boat behind 🥂
Ayyy lmaoooo I'm crying you unlocked a memory I thought was lost u_u
It's like meeting up with an old friend after 12 years and picking up the conversation exactly where you left off, like a day hadn't passed. Everything about this is so warm and comfortable. Thanks for coming back.
exactly what I felt !
You called me after midnight
Must have been twelve years since we last spoke
I slowly tried to bring back
The image of your face from the memories so old
@@fyootb9482 that song is also beautiful
exactly like what i feel
What a beautiful comment.
This video has the aesthetic of a 90s English text book for non English speakers where kids in their early twenties with long sweaters and boxy jeans named Peter or Susan would talk about going to a concert at a park.
Peter or susan or maybe malcolm?
Or maybe a rave xD
absolutely hahaha I love that aesthetic
That’s why we left the homeland one day
I think 12 years of emotion was just released. I needed that.
I believe this song is an allegory of their friendship over the years, with Eirik being the anchor of the relationship, while Erlend traveling around and exploring new territories, but somehow always coming back. The song is beautiful and human at every level.
Omg just realized that! You're so spot on!
The legendary Kings of Convenience have created another eternal aesthetic masterpiece with their heartwarming voices. The wishes of all their worldwide fans have been answered. May this album and their future albums become super successful and may we get to see them perform live across the planet. Love from India❤️
**huge hugs** I hope you are staying safe!
Thanks for these very kind words. India has been on our list of places we need to visit for a while now. See you soon.
@@erlendye2758 Thanks Erlend. Your reply made my day🎶
@@erlendye2758 YOU WILL HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE. We'd love to have you here! Please do come :)
@@erlendye2758 Your sonic healing touch is what your fans in India will need after they deal with their current Covid situation - which is frightening to say the least.
Felt like met an old crush, knowing that both of us are single, and the old love sparks again...
THIS.
You geniuses, how could you abandon us for 12 years. Thanks for coming back when we needed you the most
9. Yes
I saw them live today in Frutillar, Chile. It was perfect. At the end of the show i was leaving the teathre and Eirik was standing by the lake. I walked to him with my friend and we had a little conversation with him. He was very kind with us. Thank you guys! you deserve all the love that your fans give to you.
envidiaaa
I've never heard of them until now I don't think..are they more well known in Chile than the US?
Erland didn't want to selfie with me on the street a lot of years ago. dat tèst ad càz
welcomeback kings
Yes I missed them too.
^^"
yasss
haloo bang
Mantap bang gerry
Damn 12 years was too long but this was worth the wait
"So we meet again, after several years, several years of seperation"
😭😭
😂😂😂😂
😍
Sad to think how many years are wasted because of doubts and insecurities when they could’ve been spent with the love of your life 💔
Ten years ago, I was doing my homework at midnight and the radio started playing Kings of Convenience songs. Since then Kings of Convenience has become one of my absolute favorites. And Cayman Island became the song I listen to when I need some quiet and wonderful moments to myself. I'm soooo happy to find a new song on UA-cam today!
Caymen Islands is also one of my absolute favorite songs! It's how I would imagine finding your life's meaning would feel like, when everything you've ever experienced culminates into a single moment of catharsis.
❤euamovcs
Cayman Islands is my fave ❤
Me too!midnight, homework and radio. Bring my old memories back 😢
For anyone curious, this space was designed by an architect named Pia Mendaro :)
Love the knowing nod to one of the shots of this space featured in Dezeen. And a very current concept in this quarantine era to showcase, in a comfy colour palette no less, what a living space can be. Very KOC!
As an architect, thanks for this info!
I definitely spent a few seconds thinking "how do they climb up to that bed?"!
I'm in love with this space and the color orange. I could live here quite easily.
Yes, it is the "Topo's Shade" workspace in Madrid, very nice!
This feels like meeting up with old friends you haven't seen in a decade. Thank you Erlend and Eirik.
I'll never get tired of Erlends dancing
I am freakkin missing it
didnt knew you were coming back. this is making me so happy! The song is lovely.
Woke up and the sun was shining, opened my phone and saw this was out. Perfect day
Same here, friend. The sun shines even brighter now
Most definitely :) It was a beautiful morning getting dressed and driving to work.
Lovely ❤️🔥
I must be dreaming...
Ok guys, I'm crying rn....... THANK YOU!
you are not alone Ed.
stay well and safe
17th listen.... Finally looked at the lyrics and what they mean (my interpretation is that they had a falling out because of Eiriks depression or anxiety, maybe erlend had a little bit of an ego?! I don't know... And I mean that in the stupidest way possible) I also felt when I listened to kommode that Eirik was definitely feeling left behind. And 12 years later for them to write a song that makes you cry because you don't even have to hear their lyrics to cry on any given sunday. Then you listen to the lyrics and you cry. Tears of joy boy. I'm giddy like a school girl..... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... Honestly it's been a shite couple years. And I'll take what I can get and I can't believe I get this sorry I didn't mean to hijack your emotions.
I'm 20, I've grown up listening to KoC by my mom's influence. she used to drive me to school with KoC CDs in the player. this comeback brings me back the best memories from my childhood 🥲
너무 멋진 엄마시네요👍
Wow this makes me fee old!
내 딸한테 들려줘야겠다
listening to this feels like letting out a breath that you've unknowingly held in for the longest of time
These guys are the Simon and Garfunkel of our generation. So thankful for their songs

Exactly!
I thought the exact same
I have always thought this too. :)
What an amazing surprise. Glad that you guys are back!
Alex! Love your channel man.
Kings of Convenience... but it's Funky
Love that place of the video too, would love to live there with those beautiful people ❤, we would live like kings 🤴
Alex! love your content!
Funky style please 🙏
On the left the arpeggio of « Caymen islands », on the right the rythm of « Know-how » and on the back the violon of « Boat Behind », so good to be home :)
Hahahaha true!
@@erlendye2758 So happy for this new album coming soon ! Take Care
Plus the little dance from I'd rather dance with you. 🙊🙊
I was barely a teen and living in a different continent when I started listening to you guys
And now I'm 24. Thank you , you don't understand how much this means.
They look... Warm and familiar. Like our childhood friend from high school. We talk, we laugh, and we shared our stories. The same stories we told over and over again but never get bored with it. Because it reminds us of better time, when things are simple, when we young and happy. I really enjoy this songs. It makes me feel good and safe. And i hope it makes you feel that way too.
I never lost the hope that they reunited again. After 12 long years the waiting is over. I’m in tears.
I know we had Kommode and Erlend Øye's projects, but hearing their voices together again in the same song is just pure magical. It taps into a part of the brain I have been neglecting.
facts and I love their solo projects
Don't forget Whitest boy alive ❤️
same! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for existing in contemporary with me.
"I should have carried you to the top of the rocky trail." Oh, my heart. I'm crying.
I hadn't heard of Kings of Convenience or heard any of their songs until this showed up in my recommendations.
After listening to a lot of their music, I can honestly say that their music is *the* most beautiful and moving music I have ever heard. And I can only ask myself how I have gone 26 years of my life without hearing any of it before...
Never too late to discover great music;) I lived for 25 years without knowing them haha
Welcome
Part of the reason is that they haven't been around for 26 years. Although, not far off, which makes me feel old.
Check out their old material. It's like Gold in the air of summer 😉 Cheers from Dubai
Welcome to the club :) Don’t worry, I’ve known them for 12 years and I have yet to see them live!
Within 10 seconds you know it’s KOC. No one else sounds like them. What badasses.
These gentlemen are aging like fine wine! Cheers to you Erlend and Eirik! 🥂
I feel like this is the song that every single piece of IKEA furniture is silently singing in the show rooms.
Well it kinda felt like an IKEA commercial. Actually Kings of Convinience would be a perfect corporate name for a furniture store.
How does this make sense lol
This is the first comment I've ever liked in my 12 years of being on youtube. You win.
Northern European vibe 🤷🏻♀️
That's exactly what i was thinking lol
I'm so glad these guys are back together, there's a Kings of Convenience itch that only they can scratch
Well put!
India is going through a COVID crisis like none other. In these time of utter helplessness and despair, your music is a momentary respite from all this chaos. Thank you for all the music. Looking forward to many more. Love from India!
Stay well.
i hope things get better soon :( lots of love for india
Hold on and stay safe ❤ hugs from Italy.
Sending love from Austria!

Thank you from north sumatera
Thank you, that`s convenient.;)
Thanks from java
02:40 pure acoustic gold..... salam dari binjai.
Suksma, salam dari Bali
Eirik is on his back and Erlend doing his thing, it's almost like a callback to misread :))
i never stopped listening to KoC. i just can’t believe there’s a new album coming, after 12 years. and keeping the essence. thank you thank you thank you
His music has accompanied me since high school, I thought I knew love with a partner, I thought they had been the best years of my life and my youth. That person did me a lot of psychological damage and I wanted to die.
I am very happy to be here now, learning to love myself, and to enjoy his music that makes me happy in my soul.
Thank you so much ♡⚘
Most enchanting voices. My wife and I listened to your music 10 years ago, and now I find myself watching all your videos again with my 7 year old daughter. Feeling lucky to have rediscovered your entire vibe. Thank you.
I love this evolution of Sherlock and Frodo 🥺🥺🥺
The beginning sounds as a perfect merger of "Me in you" and "I Don't know what I can save you from" and the nostalgia is killing me. Amazing band.
This is the house of Clara Cebrian designed by Pia Mendaro! Very Kings of Convenience vibes
True! Thanks to both Pia and Clara ❤️
@@erlendye2758 I love you guys!! Thank you for the new music.
Going through a hard time right now. I listen to this song almos everyday, sometimes I cry, sometimes it makes me feel like everything is going to be alright. Thanks for sharing your art I can't wait to see you at the Tomavistas Festival 2022 🌻🌞✨
Bonsoir isa.
Tout fini par s arranger🙏
Catherine 🇨🇵🙏🕯️🌟
@@cathymancini6667 ❤🩹
Same same same. So helpful songs they made
*Conveniently, the Kings of Convenience has returned..*
It's like they've never even left...
Thank you.
Welcome back, our kings! Thanks for making good music for us in this strange, sad, and unclear situation. I think it was totally worth it to wait through these 12 years. 🌻💛
Agree!
Long live the Kings!
Sublime.
En effet.
tu as des chouettes goûts musicaux, j’aime bien t’es recommandation d’album :)
Hello from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿 love your amazing music 🎶 🎼
No, it's not. It sound good, and it IS good. But not sublime.
For something to be sublime it would need to be flawless.
Saw them a couple of months ago in Rome. It was the most dreamy experience ever, sitting on the edge of the lake while they played, such an awesome band to listen to live!!
Whatever world they are living in, I want to live in it too.
then you should work for ikea..
it's called living in the first world being first class
When chaos and tragedy is taking over the world, the KoC come to save us all
Erlend's dance moves are a rainbow in a dark sky. Ti voglio bene Erlend.
This song reminds me of how oblivious i am to my father's hardships. He passed away last year when i'm not around. Since then i learned that behind his composure lies this fragile man, lonely and sad. And i'm wondering why couldn't i be nicer and reach to him first.
I am very sorry for your loss
@@PBndJ thankyou, that's very kind of you
Excuse me, can I cry ????
"So we meet again, after several years , several years separation"
See you on November in Milan!!
Uyehhhh
@@rookieonen yuhuuuu
dont you think they're visionary? haha
@@JunaKorb Indeed they are visionary... haha
I did cried!
I can't believe after 12 years they are here again. Immediately after I saw the single I could not help but cry out of happiness because I have been listening to them since I was a kid. Seeing them again is another level of nostalgia :')
Kings Of Convenience makes music that sounds like the mood that I want my heart to be in through this life.
Their melodic voices just melt all my stressful day away.
Hi guys! I'm an American. I discovered you guys in 2010 and have been a fan since. I own all your albums ( physical albums!) and the songs are all timeless. The sound you two create always fills the air with a nice atmosphere. I recall the cool air on a beautiful sunrise and playing your music with my window open. The music just made that morning much more pleasant. I know I'm among many that have long awaited this new album and I can't wait to buy it.
I do have a wish that I'm sure other Kings of Convenience fans would love too. I have watched so many concerts of yours such as the great one at Bataclan with Feist (2009) and much older ones. I have long wished there was a live album and a dvd/bluray compilation of your concerts. That would be fantastic!
Crying...12 years waiting for this! Oh man!
this feels like getting a hug from a friend you haven't seen in a very long time.
This is what I imagine a normal day in Norway is like
Haha agreed
agreed
This is what I wish a normal day in Norway was like
@@annalyche this comment made me sad.
the video was shot in Madrid 😅 is 'La Nave Del Topo' the house-studio of Clara Cebrian, the girl in the video :)
from japanese fans🇯🇵
Their songs are always calm😌😌🍃
You can feel the same beauty at night when you cannot sleep due to deep sorrow or in the afternoon when the sun is calm.
Thank you for the warm music and harmony👏🏻
I saw them in Tokyo! 楽しかったです。🥰 日本がとても恋しい.

OMG❣️🥺
I want to go to the concert if I'm free from Corona. It's still over the screen

12 years is it? OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS IVE WAITED 12 YEARS FOR THIS. IM 34 NOW WOW TIME FLIES
Now I’ve realized that they have a “Los Chalchaleros” record in the wall, it’s beautiful greetings from Argentina
This duo is biblical

“More of a talker”
Lyrics updated, thanks @@erlendye2758! Come to Mexico soon, please!
I love people like you ..
Thank you guys! This is a sweet balm for our broken souls
Erlend dancing while Eirik is playing is such a KOC thing ❤️
These two poets do nothing but amaze me, their music, as always, creates a whirlwind of emotions inside me, which never stop improving my mood, a panacea for the soul in my opinion.
Same for me!
Been listening to this song on repeat since it release. Can't wait for the album 😍
Heard them 20 years ago, waited for them the last 10 years and now in this dark times - they are back.
I’m literally in tears. Their voices are like a comforting hug from my younger years. Thank you so much for coming back guys.
So excited for the new album! 👏😁👏
Yo how cool to see you here been watching your channel for ages!
Looking forward to know your opinion once released!
I love how the intro is so resemble to Misread. Really bring back memories
So happy to see you come back !
That “One More Time” gave me chills. I can’t believe they’re back 🤍
with this song you can be outside, without going outside.
Lovely
I've been waiting for this for so many years. KOC got me through so many tough times in my life - teenage angst in California, finding my footing in New York, feeling lost in Italy, graduate school in London, depression in Seattle/Philadelphia/Delaware. I'm now happy, 35yo, living with a loving husband in San Francisco where we are expecting our first baby. I'm so happy that there is a new KOC album coming to mark this new chapter in my life. Hopefully baby loves their music as much as I do.
Such a wonderful comment! You’ve come so far ☀️
Filmed an entire video in an IKEA showroom. Masterpiece.
I like The Whitest Boy Alive, I adore Kommode. But when Erlend and Eirik play Kings of Convenience it’s pure magic. Welcome back, my friends.
So we meet again. After several years. Several years of sepaaraaaaaation !!
The best news today!
Right
Boat behind. Your comment made my day😁
AHHH Erlend & Glambek we miss you so much!
Every song sounds like the first love you've ever known.
Or maybe it sounds like true love. First loves are overrated. It's not how you start, it's how you finish. Love can from anyone, anything, and anywhere. Not just from who you'd expect it to. Love is love.
I like how they took bits of Misread and put them into this new track. And the video too... it's just like they resumed the game from where it has stopped, I got this crazy feeling, like I'm tuning to this radio show again after 17 years and at the point where I left
Kings of Convenience: Two musicians that stick to their roots, and consistently mesmerize us all here with their tunes.
Unbelievably happy to see you lads back.
Stoked for the new album!
Vi er glad. 😎
Would be highly stoked if i could have them sing for me while I casually make fresh juice and water my plants. Oh wait, I'm doing that right now. Thank you for permeating my life with good vibes, guys.
언제 들어도 좋은
오랜만에 들어도 너무편해지는 최애곡
I’ve been missed you since the last time you left me. You accompanied me during my high school and uni days, but you weren’t there when I stepped into adulthood. Thanks for coming back, KoC!
Their music has been the soundtrack to my life in so many ways. Through love, loss, heartache, joy, they've been there to encourage and comfort me with their beautiful music and meaningful lyrics. I'm so glad I'm not the only one 🥰🎵
My comment was so similar. The soundtrack to growing up, growing older, learning the shape of my heart.
I still can't believe what I'm watching. Almost 12 years since Declaration of Dependence. Thank you for coming back, Erlend and Eirik! ❤
Makes me forget about everything and enjoy life as it is!
Life in Europe is much easier and calm then North America, thats why they make such beautiful songs. Here in Canada it is so tough. We just worry about paying bills and taxes and the most crappy weather
the way he dances towards the end of the song just brightens me up
Después de tanto tiempo esperando algo de mi grupo favorito, y no desilusionaron ni poquito, se siente tan bonito verlos y escucharlos de nuevo, gracias por ser una parte tan fundamental de mi vida, no tienen idea del significado que tiene su música en mi vida. Gracias.
