Artists : Kings of Convenience
Album : Riot on an Empty Street
I suddenly had this indescribable feeling when I heard the melody of the “Cayman Islands” coming from the TV at which my father was watching. I just rushed to find my KOC’s cd to hear it again. I couldn’t find it and I just HAVE to hear it again, so I looked for it at the internet.
I need to absorb the serenity mood coming from the melody and imagine the beautiful scene described by the lyrics… So I’ll not start to sunk back into the empty hole which has grown bigger inside me.
Listen …
Through the alleyways to cool off in the shadows,
then into the street following the water..
there’s a bearded man paddling in his canoe,
looks as if he has come all the way from the cayman islands..these canals, it seems, they all go in circles
places look the same, and we’re the only difference
the wind is in your hair, it’s covering my view
I’m holding on to you, on a bike we’ve hired until tomorrowif only they could see, if only they had been here
they would understand, how someone could have chosen
to go the length I’ve gone, to spend just one day riding
holding on to you, I never thought it would be this clear…
And imagine …
