they seem to take to the horizon.
i feel at home here in the middle of nowhere.
i will never know the names of these places that I travel through.
if there is any musician who i can listen to no matter how old the songs are, it must be kings of convenience. i just realized on this concert that the album quiet is the new loud is from 2001 and i'm still listening to it even now in 2015. the songs are the kind of songs i'd go for if i'm looking for a quiet mood to work or just to do nothing. imagine how ecstatic i was when i knew there will be a concert of their first album, which i know by heart, here in italy, and it's in a small venue in a small town, rather than in a big auditorium in a big city.
the town, monforte d'alba is three hours away from torino, we had to take two trains and a taxi (because apparently there was no bus on sundays) to get there. it is so small we can finished walking around the city in an hour and luckily encountered erlend øye walking alone around the main piazza without anyone even noticed.
from the concert i think i have a new favorite song of them (parallel lines is always a favorite). the song 'summer on the westhill' was played so beautifully on the concert and erlend explained that he wrote the song on a 27 hours boat ride from ireland to norway. a very long ride but it was cheap, he said. well.. it has been a very long wait but at least now i can say i've crossed another thing from my bucket list.
