Kings Of Convenience - Failure Lyrics






Using the Guardian as a shield,
to cover my thighs against the rain,
I do not mind about my hair.
Your jacket may be waterproof,
but I know the moment you get home
you're gonna get your trousers changed.
Failure is always the best way to learn,
retracing your steps untill you know,
have no fear your wounds will heal.
I wish I could travel overground
to where all you hear is water sounds,
lush as the wind upon a tree.
I wish I could travel overground
to where all you hear is water sounds,
to capture and keep inside of me.
Failure is always the best way to lean,
retracing your steps untill you know,
have no fear your wounds will heal.

    "Eu gostaria de poder viajar sobre o chão,
    Por onde tudo que você ouve é o som da água
    Para capturar e guardar dentro de mim
    Falha é sempre o melhor jeito de aprender,
    refazendo seus passos até você saber,
    Não tenha medo, suas feridas vão cicatrizar"

    De mis favoritas la amo :)

  13. E.... G....

    Cuando escucho este tipo de canciones me dan ganas de mostrárselas a alguien pero luego me acuerdo que ya no le hablo 💔

  14. K.... C....

    Does anyone know where this was shot?

  15. E.... M....

    This is the song that got me hooked on their music, such a great feeling. Oh and I love the horns in this.

  16. K.... S....

    ive known this song but never knew the title or who sang it.......i is find it!!!!!!

  17. w.... ....

    Does Erlend sing lead on this song?

    w.... ....

    I'd say it's Eirik. But they do have very similar voices, so…

    w.... ....

    Ondřej Vašata think he does most of the lead vocals.

  18. D.... J....

    have no fear your wounds will heal

  19. D.... J....

    retracing your steps to you know

  20. M.... S....

    Failure is always the best way to learn

    M.... S....

    Failure is always the best way to give up

  21. S.... O....

    so peaceful

  22. T.... F....

    super nice !!

  23. M.... O....

    Remembering the times in life when we are trying to make a go of it somewhere far from home, coping with setbacks and homesickness, then a word from friends back home gives us encouragement, and we find inspiration and perhaps success.

  24. u.... b....

    Very humanist video

  25. M.... n....

    Have no fear. Your wounds will heal :)

    M.... n....

    +Mijn naam is ik (Merijn Ruis) Yes! I love the message this song delivers. KOK always speak to the <3

  26. S.... H....

  29. T.... K....

    that's love man!

  30. R.... S....

    Beautiful song!

  31. V.... H....

    I always imagine Failure video is related much with Toxic Girl. From Toxic Girl, there's love triangle between Erlend, Inna, and Eirik then Erlend surrendered his love. Then in Toxic Girl, they try to living with their own life <3

  32. N.... T....

    this song is really sad and vague

  33. P.... C....

    kings fantastici!!

  34. C.... L....

  80. d.... j....

    Where are you now?concerning your music?any more tracks(brilliant),myself off to Ibiza for summer.

  81. C.... A....

    Kings of Convenience é uma dupla notável, pois a suavidade e a simplicidade de suas canções é o tempero certeiro para agradar qualquer ouvinte, mesmo muito exigente. Ecos do Simon & Garfunkel são bem-vindos, sem descaracterizar o estilo desses dois talentosos músicos noruegueses. Excelente!

  82. P.... A....

    look up "while the city sleeps - back when we knew", similar soundscapes.

  83. b.... ....

    0:01 for instant reset... enjoy

  84. n.... e....

    Genius!sin palabras.es un gran musico.

  85. l.... ....

    Oh, and damn, Eirik's woman is HOT!!!

  86. l.... ....

    I'm Norwegian. and I've never heard of these PURE GENIUSES!!!!! They remind me of the smooth psychedelic album Phanerothyme (undoubtedly one of the best albums of all time) by the Norwegian band Motorpsycho.

  87. P.... S....

    FINALLY A MILLION VIEWS WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

  88. C.... C....

    @MikeIzerman
    Me too.!

  89. r.... ....

    windy days walking alone.

    anonymous to everyone but the wind.

    what do you learn when you're on your own?

  90. b.... ....

    I think that one dude ripped off that guys casette and now he's banging his old lady

  91. A.... O....

    @TheYeahIDo good thing... i really want to go over there... im sick of this shitty small town.

  92. R.... S....

    @MrCutpaste I that a bad or a good thing? S:

  93. s.... ....

    cool stuff

  94. R.... H....

    @happsoon

    the more i listen to them, the more i feel sure that they dont sound like Belle and Sebastian, they might be heads of a similar beast, but no, they are far more...sublime

  95. M.... L....

    but knowing the moment you get home, you're get those trousers change...

  96. A.... O....

    so european..

  97. C.... ....

    This song gives me strength when I really messed up something...

  98. e.... ....
