Kings of Convenience es un dúo de indie folk-pop originario de Bergen, Noruega, compuesto por Erlend Øye y Eirik Glambek Bøe. Ambos integrantes eran amigos desde los once años, y a la edad de dieciséis años junto con otras amistades formaron el grupo Skog, con el cual llegaron a grabar un EP. En formato de dúo como Kings of Convenience, en 1999 firmaron un contrato con la discográfica independiente americana Kindercore. En 2001 se instalaron en Londres y grabaron su primer disco "Quiet is the New Loud".

[Intro]
CB/CAm7C * Fmaj7Gmaj7C
[Verse 1]
CB/CAm7C* I'll lose some sales and my boss won't be happy, FCAmC But I can't stop listening to the sound FCDm Of two soft voices Am Blended in perfection CGFmaj7GC 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.
[Break]
CB/CAm7C* Fmaj7Gmaj7C
[Verse 2]
I've travelled far and 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 and 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...
[Bridge]
Dm A song for CB/CAm someone who needs somewhere C * to long for.
Fmaj7 Homesick. CB/CFmaj7 Because I no longer know CB/CAm7C * Fmaj7Gmaj7C where home is.
