From the recording No Holiday
I've always wished to make a Kings Of Convenience cover of one of their beautiful songs - at one point also an entire album.
I started singing "Misread" while listening to some samples and loop contained in a folder...
The truth? I'm not happy at all with this version, I think I totally destroyed the magic they usually create, but, actually is a good EXPERIMENT (that's why I cared in keeping the wordplay in the title)
Lyrics
If you want to 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 demeanor
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
It happened again
What do you know
A friend is not a means...
You utilize to get somewhere...
