I went to school with these girls and I remember them singing at the talent shows and it blows my mind that now, 8 years later, they're famous and doing what they love and I'm just so impressed with how far they've come
I'm late to discover their music. Found the song Wolf at the end of episode 1 of The Walking Dead Michonne game. My daughter and I are just listening to each song and absolutely love their music. THeir voice is beautiful and classic. The way music should be and touches your soul.
Yes Liv. These girls have got it! They have a true love for what they do. You cant fake that. Stay safe girl & look after your little one there. He or she is gonna be a real handfull! Lol. ;) Sweet.
I was in my room this afternoons and the window was opened then suddenly heard this song where my neighbour playing it loudly in their backyard. I felt with a relief for somehow. I picked up my phone and at the second attempt the Shazam got the song. 4 times I played the song while I was driving tonight. Thank you neighbour( I never saw them before ) for bringing me here
My neighbours play loudly only shitty music and they hate me, because I play loudly good music like this at the same time. Well, they started this war first :""")
My cat, named after this song, passed early this morning. She was the sweetest girl and I'm glad I have this song to keep her memory alive forever. RIP Emmy
@TDurdenArt 0 seconds ago I was working at Starbucks when I heard this song, at an absolutely miserable time in my life. No direction, no goals, no passions. I'm in a much better place now, but listening to this song now reminds me of the little comforts I'd take in, just to get me through the rough times. I'll always love this song.
I was lucky enough to see First Aid Kit live last summer. It was an open air concert on a warm evening and I was blown away. They sing every bit as pitch perfect live as they do on their recordings. There's something about their voices and the way they harmonise that cuts right through you. I've been to see hundreds of bands live over the years but they are up their in the top 10 best ever. That evening was amazing. When they played this, the whole audience was singing along and the atmosphere was fantastic. If you ever get the chance to see them sing live, I can't recommend them highly enough.
These are two of the classiest, most magical modern female singers I have ever seen! Their songs are so beautiful and wonderful. I could listen to them every day. I can sense how much they adore music and what they do.
Because life is imperfection. Embrace it. Ying and Yang or Buddhist philosophies of impermenance its the same thing. If you never experienced the bad times the good times would have no meaning....
I am watching this video, and thinking. I’m 60. The lovers the girls sing of and the location in which the film was shot, with all the secrets held inside it’s mystical boundaries, along with their harmonies...belie their youth. RIP Graham, Johnny and June. Well done sisters.
These girls are awesome - they write and perform their music, and even play instruments. In my opinion that makes them true artists. Such glorious harmonies too.
Does anyone else love the "And yes, I might have lied to you. You wouldn't benefit from knowing the truth" line? To me, this really elevates the song. A bit mysterious and realistic at the same time. An intriguing line that sets them apart as a duo.
Can you tell me what this song is about? That line uou commented about seems like a twist in the lyrics of the beautiful song. I love and hear mostly the melody.
it's meaning is that every relationship they are singing about Emmylou/Graham and in the case of June Carter and Johnny Cash had a rocky beginning en wasn't easy.. But they stayed together forever
I love these girls spirit. It is beyond beautiful that they filmed this at Joshua Tree and show what I believe is Gram Parsons memorial in it. Just beautiful. What beautiful spirits.
Lyrics: Oh the bitter winds are coming in And I'm already missing the summer Stockholm's cold but I've been told I was born to endure this kind of weather When it's you I find like a ghost in my mind I am defeated and I gladly wear the crown I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too No, I'm not asking much of you Just sing little darling, sing with me Now so much I know that things just don't grow If you don't bless them with your patience And I've been there before, I held up the door For every stranger with a promise But I'm holding back, that's the strength that I lack Every morning keeps returning at my window And it brings me to you and I won't just pass through But I'm not asking for a storm I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too No, I'm not asking much of you Just sing little darling, sing with me And yes I might have lied to you You wouldn't benefit from knowing of the truth I was frightened but I held fast I need you now at long last I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too No, I'm not asking much of you Just sing little darling, sing with me I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too No, I'm not asking much of you Just sing little darling, sing with me Just sing little darling, sing with me
I seldom get overwhelmed by music made these days. Mainly because modern studio recording technique can hide bad singing . These Swedish Girls though are extraordinary. They are true ,raw talents. I first Heard this song two years ago and I fell in love instantly Last summer I went to see them at a concert and beleive it or not. FAK were even better when they sing live. I Think these Young ladies are among the best within Music of today.
Rarely, just once in a while music is this good. Nothing more beautiful than 2 or more family members singing together. And what superb songwriters. Aren't we so lucky!
Nicely done tune. I especially appreciate the references to EmmyLou Harris, June Carter, Gram Parsons and Johnny Cash. It puts an image in my head of the closeness that musical artists have in true collaboration. It's hard to verbalize, but you know it when it happens.
Since my daughter was a month old we played this song for her when she cried and it would usually calm her right down and now her baby sister, too. I’d say 75% of the time it works, every time 😄🥰
Sounds crazy, but I've been listening to this song once a day for a year. Edited: It’s been 4 years now and I still listen to this song every day at least once. Makes me feel homesick of a place that doesn’t exist.
+Lola Heatherton You haven't discovered them until now because MTV is full of Madonna, Arinana Grande, Katy Perry - the same damn pop we've heard since the beginning of 80's. First Aid KIt actually makes something new and good.
Lola Heatherton 90.3 kexp is a radio station out of Seattle WA. they have a ton of in studio performances as well as podcasts. they play a variety of music but focus mostly on stuff you'd never hear anywhere else. point is if you want to keep up on new music or catch something older you may have missed KEXP is your station. I remember hearing this album on 90.3 when it first hit. it's a good one
Yesterday I went to Ryan Adams concert concert in Denver and they were the opening band and I have been listening to their music nonstop because I love them so much now, this specific song actually made me cry because it’s so touching because I have a little sister that I love so much we are best friends and I just thought of her when I was listening to this song and it hit me in a place that I haven’t been hit in before(in a good way) I love this band so much.
5 millions views eh Gram Parsons who smiling down from heaven now....Emmylou and yours legacy lives on and on the kids get it brillant Greetings from IRELAND 😉 salamat for the memories
@@skyedavies1042 it's sad because it would seem the Swedes are making real country while we here in America are saddled with garbage like Florida Georgia Line or Sam Hunt. Waylon is rolling in his grave.
@@madsnovember1614 damn they are swedish? thought they were real country girls who never even left nashville :D gotta look up to some other swedish band in this teriotory then
Seeing that they did this in the place where Graham died all those years ago--well I'm glad I am alone right now. This is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
+AeroDoe Yes, filmed at the Gram Parsons 'shrine' at Joshua Tree, a place not where he died, but a place when Gram's drunken friends set fire to his stolen corpse with petrol, because he 'liked the place'. A terrible and distressing time for Gram's family. He died in hospital after overdosing in a motel.
Me and my step mum sang this in the car on the way back home from seeing Christmas lights tonight. I’m so blessed to have such amazing people surrounding me🥺💕
Oh those feelings. When I was listening to them 2012 I've been at such a different place in my life. Listening to music really is like time traveling. I'm going to cry now. Not because I'm sad or happy, but because of the beauty of this song and life and everything.
What great lyrics. To reference June Carter Cash, and husband Johnny Cash...in the same breath as Emmylou and Gram...is just....well....surreal. Beautiful. What a great tribute, to Emmylou and her love for Gram. So nice to see the younger generation, influenced by the true greatness...that all four of those icons are. Emmylou, June, Gram, and Johnny. Genius lyrics.
Only discovered these incredible ladies yesterday and have already raided iTunes. I haven't stopped listening all day and this song in particular knocked me sideways. The melodies and harmonies are simply mesmerizing. Absolutely stunned at just how beautiful they sound together. Definitely one of my best discoveries in a long time, and that's coming from a rock/metal fan.
I came across this song while playing Songpop on Facebook. It captured my attention as few songs have these days as I was amazed by the smooth rhythm and that they are very expressive with their words. I listened to some of their other songs and they are good but this one stands out. A beautiful song by two very beautiful and very talented young ladies. May God bless them and their music now and always!
The Joshua Tree setting for the video, makes the song all the more poignant, God Bless Emmylou and Gram, along with all the others who left us with such a wealth of beautiful music down through the years.
Performing for two mega-stars (Paul Simon and Emmylou Harris) and moving them both to applaud enthusiastically at the Polar Music Awards indicates how these two brilliantly talented ladies are respected in the music business. One day, they will be the recipients of such an award and many more.
Klara's voice is so wonderful and powerful. She is strange and familiar, sharp but soft and filled with a million intricacies that conjure up memories, familiarities and sweet nostalgia, even from the moment you first hear her.
don't like country, but i get that vibe. and even though I do, this song is just plain beautiful and positive. it makes me think of love, life, and happiness. I have alot of sadness and darkness in my life and this song makes me think of doing things that make me happy like drawing and painting or going on adventures.❤
this song has been played every morning at my house, been listening to it since I was a kid. My father recently passed away, this song was played at his funeral and ofc we all started balling our eyes out. Now that I'm older I can appreciate the beauty of this song and why my parents played it everywhere.
I’m from England and I love these voices!! That’s when you know someone is talented… someone on the other side of the world is touched by their voice. I adore these two. My favourite is silver lining… I play it on full blast on the way to work ❤ x
How the hell can 1100 people not like this song? This is by far one of First Aid Kit's best songs! It made Emmylou cry for god's sakes! Some people have no taste in music whatsoever.
You can see how much influence Emmylou has on these two girls. From their style, to their sound, to their lyrics. Just beautiful seeing how artists inspire and transcends to modern artists.
One day I'll listen to this song and won't have tears running down, but it'll be a long while still. It's their voices and the steel guitar and the romance in the chorus and the everything. Tack!
Heard these talented girls on our local radio station, they are finally receiving the recognition they deserve. They are the best thing that has happened to music in a long, long time!
Gram and Emmylou were a match made in heaven. When they sang together it was not of this world. But, the devil interfered. It was as if she lost half of herself. Yet the other half was still the greatest female vocalist of all time. I hope that I live a long life and when I die I will go to heaven and find Gram and Emmylou singing together there.
I agree with you so much. I cry listening to them realizing the pain she suffered over losing him. I think of what they could have gone on to do together.
Just fantastic. Also a gorgeous tribute to some of the most iconic and talented musicians of our times. Anyone who honors Emmylou and Gram is tops in my book. This song gives the feels...
I just discovered these girls thanks to the TH-cam algorithm, and for once, I'd like to thank TH-cam for that. These girls are half my age. One of them, in fact, was born the same year as my daughter (1993). But their talent!! It's way more than their beautiful, otherworldly vocals. Their song crafting and lyricism puts them in the once-in-a-generation category, with the likes of Simon and Garfunkel, Lennon and McCartney, and so on. Like them, their song lyrics live on their own, away from the music. I don't describe myself as a fan because "fan" is the root word for fanatic, and fanatics are rarely sane. But I'm definitely an admirer of their rare talent and look forward to more of their musical output.
One of the very few songs that left me openmouthed when I heard it the first time on my car radio. Perfectly harmonious voices. Even after all those times I heard it, I still like it.
When I heard them singing about Gram Parsons on David Letterman, it sounded like something out of another time. Lovely, ethereal, & real. Great job ladies.
Are they at Joshua Tree for this video? It would be so fitting. This song makes me cry everytime. I loved my late husband of 26 the same way Emmylou and June loved Gram and Johnny. Miss you so much, sweetheart 😭😭
this song is SO beautifully crafted , what a stunning melody , songs like these are pretty rare nowadays , the songwriting genius can pop up anywhere and now it is coming once again from Sweden
I love Emmylou and I sure have found someone who places her as highly as I do. I love these ladies. Beautifully written and performed. Mixed angelic voices. True talent at its best. Love you ladies
I remember when I first heard this song. I was flipping through the radio stations while doing some house cleaning, and I happened to catch the end of it on like 88.7 or something like that, so it had this old school feel to it. I have loved it ever since.

You should get to know your neighbors..... if they are playing this sound, more than likely they are cool people.
What kind of people play this kind of songs LOUDLY ?
Smart ones.

These are two of the classiest, most magical modern female singers I have ever seen! Their songs are so beautiful and wonderful. I could listen to them every day. I can sense how much they adore music and what they do.
I listen to them every day too...at least 3 of theirsongs
Ten years later and their voices are even more incredible.
this song plants a seed that contains both happiness and sadness in me, how is that possible?

Wow, for being Swedish, they both sound like they were born & raised in Tennessee or Kentucky. Beautiful voices!

My eight-year-old daughter just started singing this song while wrapping presents. It warmed my heart.
Hey Nashville, I think these two beautiful Swedes can teach you a thing or two about what real talent and country music sounds like! Pure talent!!!
yup -in 50 years nobody gonna sing about the fools in today's nashville -- June and Emmy and Gram and John : LEGENDS
These girls are awesome - they write and perform their music, and even play instruments. In my opinion that makes them true artists.
Such glorious harmonies too.
Does anyone else love the "And yes, I might have lied to you. You wouldn't benefit from knowing the truth" line? To me, this really elevates the song. A bit mysterious and realistic at the same time. An intriguing line that sets them apart as a duo.
No. It makes me think that whoever wrote it is horrible in relationships.
Can you tell me what this song is about? That line uou commented about seems like a twist in the lyrics of the beautiful song. I love and hear mostly the melody.

Lyrics:
Oh the bitter winds are coming in
And I'm already missing the summer
Stockholm's cold but I've been told
I was born to endure this kind of weather
When it's you I find like a ghost in my mind
I am defeated and I gladly wear the crown
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June
If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I'm not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me
Now so much I know that things just don't grow
If you don't bless them with your patience
And I've been there before, I held up the door
For every stranger with a promise
But I'm holding back, that's the strength that I lack
Every morning keeps returning at my window
And it brings me to you and I won't just pass through
But I'm not asking for a storm
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June
If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I'm not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me
And yes I might have lied to you
You wouldn't benefit from knowing of the truth
I was frightened but I held fast
I need you now at long last
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June
If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I'm not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June
If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I'm not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me
Just sing little darling, sing with me

I can hear the Scandinavian folk song flavor in their vocal style. So nice.
Every Canadian would burst apart to hear you duet with Jim Cuddie. But the sweetness of it all could kill us,
Sad part is... this is more country than country music. Good stuff.
There’s still plenty of excellent country music in America, but this is right up there with what I consider to be the best of what’s going on today...
Why is it sad that this is country?

There are many smaller artists in the states that have the country/folk vibe. Josh Turner Guitar on youtube/ The Other Favourites are really good.

This song has the most hauntingly beautiful bridge, I can listen to just those 45 seconds over and over...yep here I go again
Evidently, it takes 2 little gals from another country to show us Americans what REAL country music is nowadays. Shocker.

+Marguerite Hanley you're so very right. I'm from Texas and we welcome this song a lot more than most Nashville owned "country" singers
わたしは日本人で、うつ病を持っています。しんどいとき、なぜか、不思議と、First Aid Kitの曲を聞いていました。
さっき、「First Aid Kit」の意味を初めて知りました。わたしは英語ができないので、今まで知らなかったんです。
あなたたちは、わたしを癒してくれていたんですね。
2:32 literally gave me chills down my spine
+Sperg Ferguson I can tell by your face.
I agree!
+Ompalompa Lompa lol
Thats right! Bridge is real magic here
Same!
this song has been played every morning at my house, been listening to it since I was a kid. My father recently passed away, this song was played at his funeral and ofc we all started balling our eyes out. Now that I'm older I can appreciate the beauty of this song and why my parents played it everywhere.
This is a song that will always belong to my soul. I can't explain how much I adore this piece of music. True art and an undeniable masterpiece.
Their voices blend so well and you can hear every word clearly.
Glad to see the Swedes have brought American country music back. Americans lost it long ago.
Dig a little deeper its still out there
One of the best songs in the last 20 years. I listen to it every day !
One of the best bands to come out of Sweden since the days of ABBA and Roxette.
These girls have got it! Swedish people are musical geniuses💕
This turns 8 years today and it's still hauntingly beautiful.
Love this so much ♥
Still beautiful after 10 years!!! I still love it so much
I’m from England and I love these voices!! That’s when you know someone is talented… someone on the other side of the world is touched by their voice. I adore these two. My favourite is silver lining… I play it on full blast on the way to work ❤ x
How the hell can 1100 people not like this song? This is by far one of First Aid Kit's best songs! It made Emmylou cry for god's sakes! Some people have no taste in music whatsoever.
one of the best harmonization records ever made..
8 years later still one of my favourite songs, these girls are wonderful
So are you my friend #wonderful
You can see how much influence Emmylou has on these two girls. From their style, to their sound, to their lyrics. Just beautiful seeing how artists inspire and transcends to modern artists.
This is one of the best songs I've heard in the last decade. Perhaps my life !
One day I'll listen to this song and won't have tears running down, but it'll be a long while still. It's their voices and the steel guitar and the romance in the chorus and the everything. Tack!
Heard these talented girls on our local radio station, they are finally receiving the recognition they deserve. They are the best thing that has happened to music in a long, long time!
Gram and Emmylou were a match made in heaven. When they sang together it was not of this world. But, the devil interfered. It was as if she lost half of herself. Yet the other half was still the greatest female vocalist of all time. I hope that I live a long life and when I die I will go to heaven and find Gram and Emmylou singing together there.
I agree with you so much. I cry listening to them realizing the pain she suffered over losing him. I think of what they could have gone on to do together.
@@robinzachary9355 As outstanding as Emmylou's career has been, with Gram it would have been more so. Too beautiful to last, I guess, but how I wish.
@@margaretross9150 my thoughts exactly
Just fantastic. Also a gorgeous tribute to some of the most iconic and talented musicians of our times. Anyone who honors Emmylou and Gram is tops in my book. This song gives the feels...
Thank you Sweden. Again a fabulous band. This tune is an ever green. Thanks for being there.
I already believed in angels - now I have heard them sing! I am Speechless.....you brought an alpha centaur to tears. so beautiful.
One of the best bridges I’ve ever heard, no doubt
So Beautiful. Love to both of you and Emmylou and June. The Divine Feminine has returned to Mother Earth.
This has become one of my favorite songs. These girls are terrific, I hope they go far!
The rath of the Eagle continues to burn the beauty of nature without mercy.
"I'm defeated and I gladly wear the crown"
That is one great turn of phrase
In this troubled word, these two show that there can still be harmony.
I just discovered these girls thanks to the TH-cam algorithm, and for once, I'd like to thank TH-cam for that. These girls are half my age. One of them, in fact, was born the same year as my daughter (1993). But their talent!! It's way more than their beautiful, otherworldly vocals. Their song crafting and lyricism puts them in the once-in-a-generation category, with the likes of Simon and Garfunkel, Lennon and McCartney, and so on. Like them, their song lyrics live on their own, away from the music. I don't describe myself as a fan because "fan" is the root word for fanatic, and fanatics are rarely sane. But I'm definitely an admirer of their rare talent and look forward to more of their musical output.
Class. Proper class. Brilliant.
One of the very few songs that left me openmouthed when I heard it the first time on my car radio. Perfectly harmonious voices. Even after all those times I heard it, I still like it.
Amazing gift these girls have
It's one of the best songs Ive heard in years
When I heard them singing about Gram Parsons on David Letterman, it sounded like something out of another time. Lovely, ethereal, & real. Great job ladies.
my daughter shared their song and been hooked since...amazing comments here. Good to be in the midst of music lovers
Lovely tribute to Emmylou, June, Johnny, and Gram
your songs make me cry..in a good way. Brilliant musicians
Are they at Joshua Tree for this video? It would be so fitting. This song makes me cry everytime. I loved my late husband of 26 the same way Emmylou and June loved Gram and Johnny. Miss you so much, sweetheart 😭😭
This song was my first introduction to First Aid Kit. Beautiful.
Mine was their cover of Tiger Mountain Peasant Song by Fleet Foxes.
I first heard of these about 30 minutes ago.This is the 3rd song I’ve heard this evening and I’ve loved every one.Im 100% a new fan.
Utterly stunning.
This song is an absolute Gem,truly beautiful 😍
I am American and this is true country music, none of this CMT Taylor Swift pop crap. Very beautiful. Great job Sweden!
There's still plenty of great country music in the States. Just doesn't get much radio time
it brings about a melancholic joy...specially in spring and summer afternoons...and truelly opens the memory chest.
Joshua Tree, lots of dry ice, and sweet harmonies. Three of my favorite things.
this song is SO beautifully crafted , what a stunning melody , songs like these are pretty rare nowadays , the songwriting genius can pop up anywhere and now it is coming once again from Sweden
Words really cannot express the kind of emotions that i feel when listen to this track. Great job.
I love Emmylou and I sure have found someone who places her as highly as I do. I love these ladies. Beautifully written and performed. Mixed angelic voices. True talent at its best. Love you ladies
How am I just hearing this now? So beautiful.
I have only just found them, thanks to this be played in coffee shop here in the Highlands. How beautiful is this! ❤
I remember when I first heard this song. I was flipping through the radio stations while doing some house cleaning, and I happened to catch the end of it on like 88.7 or something like that, so it had this old school feel to it. I have loved it ever since.
