This tale of a rekindled relationship is the first single from Norwegian indie folk rock duo Kings of Convenience's third studio album, Declaration of Dependence.
This song, which is accented by strings and upright bass, was premiered in the southern Italian town of Bari where the duo played a venue that is normally a boxing ring.
Eirik Glambek Bøe of the duo said that the lyric was inspired by their German viola player, Toby. He explained: "He and (K of C partner) Erlend were reading an article about someone crossing the Atlantic on a surfboard, when Toby said – in English – they're must have been a boat behind. It was a great image. We think this song belongs to our grandparents, but we can't work out which decade we've been inspired by."
