Sacred & Profane – Art, Beauty & stuff that doesn't suck

"Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your poetry" -Oscar Wilde

Winning the Battle, Losing the War March 6, 2009

So WordPress is the worst ever because it doesn’t allow embedding. So all of the songs I post have to be crappy sounding videos from you tube. Ridiculous. 

download1Quiet is the New Loud, the debut album by Norwegian indie folk duo Kings of Convenience, started a small movement among the European underground. The duo consists of childhood friends Eirik Glambek Bøe and Erlend Øye who is also the frontman of The Whitest Boy Alive. Winning the Battle, Losing the War is a perfect example of the subtle beauty of their approach to songwriting and performance.

“Winning A Battle, Losing The War”Even though I’ll never need her, 
even though she’s only giving me pain, 
I’ll be on my knees to feed her, 
spend a day to make her smile again Even though I’ll never need her, 
even though she’s only giving me pain 
As the world is soft around her, 
leaving me with nothing to disdain. 

Even though I’m not her minder, 
even though she doesn’t want me around, 
I am on my feet to find her, 
to make sure that she is safe and sound. 

Even though I’m not her minder, 
even though she doesn’t want me around, 
I am on my feet to find her, 
to make sure that she is safe from harm. 

The sun sets on the war, 
the day breaks and everything is new…
