    Being young and discovering music while you are on highschool felt so joyful. I remember when a Teacher showed me this band. She was my chemistry teacher and i used to help her for my scholarship. I was pretty depressed back then and i really had no one to talk to. She showed me a bunch of bands i will never forget. The way these songs make you feel is like getting together with someone you havent seen on years and having a happy time for a short time until you have to say goodbye again.

    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

    It was my first night in Paris and me and my dad needed a taxi to get back to our hotel after a PSG soccer game. Some guy pulled up to us and said he was an Uber, we got in and this song was playing and with the vibe of this song and the rain of Paris, it was perfect just such a chill song with the beauty of Paris in the background. Truly one of my favorite experiences.

    anyone notice how the video makes so much sense for this song? two people, doing two completely different things (one guitaring the other drawing then eventually going to play soccer) yet they still harmonize, literally? what im going through now, i dont think my friends understand that i like to do my own thing, i dont need to see them all the time. but just because i dont see them does not mean that i am not harmonizing with them. they are always on my mind and they will always be in my heart. towards the end of the video eirik eventually joins erland, for just a moment, to see what he drew. its more special to "share your drawings" with your friends after youve gone off and done your own thing. seperation is good, it helps me grow as an individual and it makes me appreciate my friends that much more. anyway, i love this song lol been listening to it for over 10 years now and im only 26

    Someone showed me this song back in highschool, about 7 years ago and i loved it, he was my best friend for about 4 years, i helped him to graduate from highschool (he was the first in his family to graduatefrom highschool), his mother had passed away when he was 12 and i helped him to get through it, we where so close, we always talked about doing road trips and traveling together. When we graduate we started to distance ourselves, after a while he got a girlfriend who was jealous of me just for being a woman, he chosed her over my friendship, and now after a year of that decision i still listen to this song and think about us two skating across the city like we used to or doing our trips to the beach in an old beatle listening to red hot chilli peppers music like we promised we would do. I just wanted to share my history with this song
    (Update)
    He is still with the same girl, and now they have a son (I knew because he unblocked me from WhatsApp to tell me), I tried to talk to him and tell him how I feel about his decision but he only saw my message, blocked me and never replied me back... sometimes I dream with him and how we used to do such stupid things together to make our sad lives a little better, I wish you the best bro, even though you are a dumbass

    as a kid i remember when my whole family was in a crazy argument fight, i got into my room, locked the door and played this song over and over again
    i first heard this song from my cousin's N-Gage back in 2005. I was in Borneo, visiting my grandma, but on that day the whole family got into intense argument fight, so i locked my self in my cousin's room and this song saved my day. thanks for the likes, never get so many likes. have a nice day everyone🌻

    I’ve lost a lot of friends because of my insecurity in the past and I moved and it’s been so lonely but I’ve met good people again, i don’t want to lose them..I think I’ve changed, I hope I’m a better person and they stay.
    It’s funny listening to this song has so many meanings to me, at first I thought of all the guys I’ve liked and how I always fall and they only see me as a friend, and then I hear “friendship isn’t there” and I think of how desperate I used to be for people to like me and how many people didn’t want to be my friend..

    This beautiful song reminds me of a simpler life I lived back in 2012, I used to live in Cambridge and I'd go with some friends to parker's piece to lay our backs on the grass, light up a cigarette and plug in a small and cheap speaker just to share the joy of listening to our beloved Kings of Convenience

    Some months ago I met someone who showed me this song. She was always brutally honest, something I like. We quickly became really close, however, yesterday, with all her honesty, she told me to stop talking as she got bored of me. Now this song hits really different, not only because I know about it thanks to her, but because she is as the person in the song. Anyways, wherever you go, I wiss you the best

    Man! I can't believe that after all of these years I found this song!!!
    I use to listen to it in my teen age years with my dad back home!!!
    After school mostly in the evenings already, we'd lay on the couches in our living room, turn of the lights and he would put on his favorite radio station (Antena 1) hahahha man! even just writing and reading the name of it reminds me of it even more!!!:DDD This radio station use to play songs of my dad's young years and songs that had a similar vibe like this one, so he would love it!:D And although we were not actually playing something or doing much besides listening to music, I cherish these moments like crazy!!!!!! And one think I always kept in mind was this one song that I'd never heare again!!! Especially since the songs played on this radio would not play on the radios that I would normally listen to! But ever once in a while when I was to think of my dad I'd think about us there listening to music in our living room in the dark with only the green light of the radio on!:))))) And I'd always remember this part of this song!!! "if you wanna be my friend"..... but that's all I could remember!..... Seriously!!! it has been more than ten years now!!!! And now it's the first time I hear this song again every since then!!!!! Man!!!! I missed those days so much!!!!!:DDDDDD and of course once I found it, I lowered my computer screen so it wouldn't shine so much into the room, it's already pretty late here now, and I didn't have any lights on!;) So I just had to lay on my couch and press play!!!!:DDDDDDDDDDDDDD
    I flew all the way back to Brazil!!!!!!! and even went back in time!!!!!!:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Sigh!!!:))))))))) Such a nice experience!!!!:)))))))
    Man!!!!!:)))) That's was sweet!:))))))) Sigh!:))))) I think I'll listen to it for the third time now!;)
    Peace!:))))

    If you wanna 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 demeanour
    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.."

    You know, they say the meaning of the song is the meaning to you. To me its not about a girlfriend neccessarily, it's about relationships with people in general. The person this song is about is a very honest and up front person. He has a habit of picking out peoples flaws and letting them know about it with honest intentions, but the other person gets hurt and misunderstands his intentions of trying to be the best friend you'll ever meet. A friend that will be brutally honest simply becuase of the fact that he wants to make you an even better person. Long story short, he burns a bridge because the other person doesn't get it.
