Given the fact that all of the top comments are people referencing The Long Dark, I think you're right. Putting it in that game was a fantastic idea for everyone.
I’m from Nebraska and recently learned this was filmed here. This song is from my favorite game, from my favorite band, from my hometown of Omaha. It feels wrong if it’s not my favorite song.
Making tea in my kitchen in London Ontario Canada with this song on. The next thing i hear are my 3 cats meowing their heads off to this song. A first for sure but of course, the lions roar. True story.
"The Lion's Roar" Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook The fact that they've been blindly deceived By those who preach and pray and teach But she falls short and the night explodes in laughter But don't you come here and say I didn't warn you About the way your world can alter And oh how you try to command it all still Every single time it all shifts one way or the other And I'm a goddamn coward, but then again so are you And the lion's roar, the lion's roar Has me evading and hollering for you And I never really knew what to do Well I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable That I could read you just like a book For now I can only guess what's coming next By examining your timid smile And the ways of the old, old winds blowing you back 'round And I'm a goddamn fool, but then again so are you And the lion's roar, the lion's roar Has me seeking out and searching for you And I never really knew what to do Sometimes I wish I could find my Rosemary Hill I'd sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I'd sing And every once in a while I'd sing a song for you That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea And if I wanted it to it would lead you back to me And the lion's roar, the lion's roar Is something that I have heard before A children's tale, the lonesome wail of a lion's roar
I'm thankful for The Long Dark for showing me my new favorite band. First Aid Kit hits the aching and natural vibe of folk music so well. i would love to see them live some day 💞
Wow, TH-cam recommended this video and I must say, I was blown away by this song. It reminds me of a mediaeval bard's song, folk song, a bit of country perhaps, combined with lyrics that are a ballad, a story and these women's lovely voices. I almost didn't click on the video but I'm glad I did!
Their songs are songs of truth and about life. Age means nothing if you have a handle on what is and what isn't. I'm 64 years old, and I love this duo. Good music is ageless. I first saw them on Jools' show and fell in love with their sound and songs.. Keep on keepin' on ladies. Paul Bradford (no relation to Daniel)
I always had the philosophy of "you only have one life live it how you want play hard, work harder and love more than anything then life will be fine in the end" too many people are chasing money I just want a small little piece of land that I can build my home on and live my life with my love and retire to a life of listening to this music, smoking a j and watching the sunset in the bed of a 76 elcamino cause it's good to have a youthful dream around too for me it's that car
Anybody else playing the long dark in 2021? Everytime I hear this song, I think of all the memories and the amazing story of that game, what a talented group of singers
Just installed it.. 10 seconds in to the intro credits I hear this song, get goosebumps and immediately came here to look it up. I can already tell I am about to experience a true work of art.
This is why I switched to folk music, it tells a story in a way I just love. And it’s so involved with nature, this genre is what made me want to live deep in the forest alone.
Saw them live. Incredibly happy I did. They were absolutely amazing. I met them after their show and they were so kind and sweet. If you have the chance to see them live, I definitely recommend you to go. They're perfect!
I heard about 5 seconds of the chorus before it kicked to another episode and I had to go back to Shazam this song. Very glad I did. What an incredible band!!! Right up my alley
Have just heard the lion roars by first aid kit, fantastic song, beautiful voices,great lyrics and backing music, also a strange video which is to my liking, best song I have heard in years, looking forward to hearing more music from these girls, well done ladies. (Now that’s praise indeed from a ardent LED ZEPPELIN fan)
It happens very rarely that a song literally knocks me off my feet at first listen. That happened when a German radio station played The Lion’s Roar just a few days after release. The voices, the arrangement, the overall power - wow, I’d never heard anything similar before. I immediately searched and bought everything the sisters had published so far, and I have been a true fan ever since, having seen the band perform live several times. - To my ears, this one remains their best song.
3:28 love the camera work over here, how they stand there, it just fits that part of the song really well. Still in love with this song after all these years.
I'll be real, i have been playing Long Dark since backing the Kickstarter, and had NO IDEA about the group that made this masterpiece. The first time i heard it I got so oddly emotional and put it on repeat for a few hours. This is music that touches your soul and changes you.
It was a lovely memorable concert in Cardiff Wales the other night. didn't have any expectations as live performances can dissapoint,but you 2 didn't, and exceeded anything we could've imagined. Thank you for a wonderful night. Carol and Colin Sloanes.
***** you should check out David Wax Museum, an all american folky band which i def hold in as high esteem as these guys. Check out their npr session :)
To whoever put this song in The Long Dark. It's not the first time I discovered a band from a video game, but I've never rushed to my phone so fast to figure out who the artist was. Love this band.
I don't know how I got here. Never even heard of "The Long Dark." TH-cam autoplayed it. I don't even normally listen to "country" music. But damn this is good!
you can get it for under 25 quid on steam and it is a fucking incredible survival game, none of that zombie bullshit, just you and mother nature in what's left of northern canada after an apocalypse or two
As a Texan of Scot/Irish ancestry I can see a direct link between their music and that of my ancestors. It makes me dream of the day when the Maids of the Mist carry me into those Highland Mists.
+Laurence Monk agreed for this song, but she does have a hint of a country singer's voice as well and, indeed, these girls are quoted as saying they were highly influenced by mostly American country, folk or alternative artists the likes of Patti Smith, Bob Dylan, The Pixies, Bright Eyes.
@@FrostInFreezer oh man getting your arm bit off just listening to the song that plays when a timber wolf pack is after you, sitting outside despite it being -30 C beacuse you just want to watch the auroras and listen to the noises it makes. its such a good game
No, Abu. That's not the reason lol. Swedish Record companies aren't as mainstream as the American ones, which is why Swedish music isn't very well known ^^
the writing of these young ladies are so haunting, but weather worn from old souls. My son introduced me to their talent with their Silver Lining song and it was mind blowing to my old mind. They will go far very soon, everyone will know who they are. Their songs speak to everyone's soul.
I found them through the Blogoteque channel, they do those takeaway shows. First aid kit has this song as a takeaway show on there. It's one of their best live performances of this.
Dan Hicks I found them through a wildlife programme that Gordon Buchanan did and has the track 'Wolf' on, just two lines completely blew me away and I fell in love with the sound. Thought it had a Native American vibe to it. Just incredible. Thank you.
I discovered the band through the movie Wild. There are very few singer whose concerts I am eager to go to (I also went to Axl Rose). First Aid Kit is one of them. Lyrics, peaceful voice and dynamic, soft, whispering harmony. inşallah, hopefully you visit Turkey. May you have plenty of inspiration....☺
You're right Daniel. They are an amazing duo. I heard them for the first time, today, and I can't believe I haven't heard them before. It was Silver Lining that I heard. What a great song and so is this one. I'll be playing them a lot now.
If someone needs, the chords are in my opinion like this: Verse: Am C G Am Am C Am Am C G Am Am G Am Chorus: F C G Am Bridge: D F Am x 2 F C G Am x 2 F Am Absolutely love this band, and their songs!
I can`t believe this masterpiece was found by me only nowadays. I was searching for it since I first heard it in The Long Dark intro to the second episode, and now , I found it. And I am glad that this exists.

Was this used in it? Which chapter?
@@marsuss5325 Intro song
It was a really good choice
Seriously the intro to the long dark was fantastic
Recently began playing The Long Dark: Wintermute, and this song hit me like a plane crash
Reminded me of the intro to Until Dawn, it was so damn good.
i see what you did there
I found this on “The Long Dark” and I fell in love with this song instantly
it gives me goosebumps every time that i see the intro
I FEEL that

They are some of the most amazing singers I've ever heard. New folk icons.
Not to mention all the great music videos! :-)
zdenislavski z: What exactly is your point???
zdenislavski z Sounds like we better ask Socrates for the solution. Oh Socrates, Wise philosopher, how do we make Croatian bands more planetary popular?
Socrates: hmmmm I think they should record in English to be worldy popular. Or the entire music industry needs to convert the world to Croatian.
Thank you Socrates!
This being featured on The Long Dark was such a good choice. It fits perfectly and probably brought them a shitload of new fans.
Given the fact that all of the top comments are people referencing The Long Dark, I think you're right. Putting it in that game was a fantastic idea for everyone.
Damn, I thought the song was written for Long Dark, purely on the basis that it fits so well.
Yup. Guilty!
I can confirm that this is true. I reentl;y discovered The Long Dark and I adore it and this music.
I'm literally here because of that game lmao
Long dark brought me here 😄
Tbasko sauce is it good?
thats a game right?
Yep it's a really good game and is also still getting updates
This song is on that game!?!?! I always see it on the playstation store but never buy it. I love this band though!
Me too, and yeah its really good.

Haunting, raw, earthy, folksy, blue-grassy...very creative and unique!
Hi bop
Nicely prescribed
Do you know any other song like this one? I've tried to listen to the rest of their songs and are more akin to country music...
I'm still playing The Long Dark today :) what a soundtrack ^^
I just started playing... Got to chapter 2... It's fun and very unique game
this is pure, unadulterated, raw, talent... there is a reason ppl love these girls.. what beautiful music ❤
I’m from Nebraska and recently learned this was filmed here. This song is from my favorite game, from my favorite band, from my hometown of Omaha. It feels wrong if it’s not my favorite song.

This song is so beautiful! I regret not having discovered it sooner.. This folk spirit of the 70s and this Celtic connotation transcends me.
Yes!
I've been playing The Long Dark for more than 1800 hours by now (mostly survival modes), but I still cannot get enough of this song.
Wow. This song is 11 years-old? Its wonderful. Where have I been? I totally adore their sound. Reminds me of Wilson Phillips and Stevie Nicks❤
Asking myself the same question.
Same here just now.... ♥
It Took ME ten Years to Get This on Vinyl. I WILL Play It Some Of THEESE Days. It Is SO Good, So WHY Hurry? Regards from Dag
Bob Dylan too.
Imagine the surprise and astonishment when you find a beautiful song that is 200 years old!...
I'm obsessed with their vocals ....
Hannah Gilbert same!
I love their videos!!! They are very witchy!!
So am i!!, first time i hear them was in a christmas movie, with my silver linning
I´ll NEVER get tired of this song.
"The Lion's Roar"
Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook
The fact that they've been blindly deceived
By those who preach and pray and teach
But she falls short and the night explodes in laughter
But don't you come here and say I didn't warn you
About the way your world can alter
And oh how you try to command it all still
Every single time it all shifts one way or the other
And I'm a goddamn coward, but then again so are you
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
Has me evading and hollering for you
And I never really knew what to do
Well I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable
That I could read you just like a book
For now I can only guess what's coming next
By examining your timid smile
And the ways of the old, old winds blowing you back 'round
And I'm a goddamn fool, but then again so are you
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
Has me seeking out and searching for you
And I never really knew what to do
Sometimes I wish I could find my Rosemary Hill
I'd sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I'd sing
And every once in a while I'd sing a song for you
That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea
And if I wanted it to it would lead you back to me
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
Is something that I have heard before
A children's tale, the lonesome wail of a lion's roar
Damn you really did this thanks
thanksss
@@absentgraph9864 You are most welcome!

Discovered this song through the long dark. It became my favorite walking around in the empty streets of downtown Chicago during covid
This just played at the end of a Mythic Quest Raven's Banquet episode and I'm so glad I looked more into them. What a truly great band.
That show has had some great ending songs and music in the show.
I'm here because of Mythic Quest too. Ian and Poppy both are lions！I love them chose this song to be the ending song.

They may be Swedish but they have this Texan accent that stuns me. It makes all their songs sound Western
A stylistic choice
Wait... Are they swedish?
Holly shit they are Swedish???
bf1 over bfv any day
They are emulating that style, but also understand that Scandinavians pronounce their letter "r" often hard like an American accent.
I get a warm Neil Young and/or Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young vibe. Lovely.
Artistry in music? Phenomenal!
I'll be real, i have been playing Long Dark since backing the Kickstarter, and had NO IDEA about the group that made this masterpiece. The first time i heard it I got so oddly emotional and put it on repeat for a few hours. This is music that touches your soul and changes you.

Highly recommend giving it a play. And also listening to this band's entire discography.
They really take the folk rock scene to a whole another level, the video offers a creative aspect to the song it self.
As a Texan of Scot/Irish ancestry I can see a direct link between their music and that of my ancestors. It makes me dream of the day when the Maids of the Mist carry me into those Highland Mists.
.... they're Swedish
I know that, the Scandinavians, the Scots and the Irish share a common Celtic heritage.
The Swedes are of Germanic, not Celtic heritage. That being said there sound is clearly influence by pan-european folk music.
+Laurence Monk agreed for this song, but she does have a hint of a country singer's voice as well and, indeed, these girls are quoted as saying they were highly influenced by mostly American country, folk or alternative artists the likes of Patti Smith, Bob Dylan, The Pixies, Bright Eyes.

The only reason I listened to this song is because it was in the long dark and honestly I am glad to see that people still support the long dark.

Lyrics
Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook
The fact that they've been blindly deceived
By those who preach and pray and teach
But she falls short and the night explodes in laughter
But don't you come here and say I didn't warn you
About the way your world can alter
And oh how you try to command it all still

And I never really knew what to do
Well I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable

By examining your timid smile
And the ways of the old, old winds blowing you back 'round
And I'm a goddamn fool, but then again so are you
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
Has me seeking out and searching for you
And I never really knew what to do
Sometimes I wish I could find my Rosemary Hill
I'd sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I'd sing
And every once in a while I'd sing a song for you
That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea
And if I wanted it to it would lead you back to me
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
Is something that I have heard before
A children's tale, the lonesome wail of a lion's roar

No, Abu. That's not the reason lol. Swedish Record companies aren't as mainstream as the American ones, which is why Swedish music isn't very well known ^^

You're right Daniel. They are an amazing duo. I heard them for the first time, today, and I can't believe I haven't heard them before. It was Silver Lining that I heard. What a great song and so is this one. I'll be playing them a lot now.
I don’t know why, but this song makes me shed a tear every time I listen to it.
thank you the long dark...
I accidentally landed here and wow I'm happy I did!
If someone needs, the chords are in my opinion like this:
Verse:
Am C G Am
Am C Am
Am C G Am
Am G Am
Chorus:
F C G Am
Bridge:
D F Am x 2
F C G Am x 2
F Am
Absolutely love this band, and their songs!
Whew! This is hauntingly heavy, and beautiful.
why aren't these girls more famous they're so good
The Long Dark is the reason I found out that this artist existed now im obsessed with almost all there songs❤❤
I can`t believe this masterpiece was found by me only nowadays. I was searching for it since I first heard it in The Long Dark intro to the second episode, and now , I found it. And I am glad that this exists.
So many long dark players got turned to folk music. I love this song. :)
Me playing “The long Dark” Friday 13th January in Canada 🇨🇦 Ontario with a snow storm 🌨️ cascading across my town in my Denim & breaking in my new cowboy boots ❤❤ New boot Goofin !!
Uma das melhores bandas dos últimos tempos... pena que somente agora começa a ser reconhecida... harmonias perfeitas e tanto as melodias quanto letras são lindas... #BRAZIL
Concordo😁🎶❣️
Lyric
Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook
The fact that they've been blindly deceived
By those who preach and pray and teach
But she falls short and the night explodes in laughter
But don't you come here and say I didn't warn you
About the way your world can alter
And oh how you try to command it all still
Every single time it all shifts one way or the other
And I'm a goddamn coward, but then again so are you
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
Has me evading and hollering for you
And I never really knew what to do
Well I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable
That I could read you just like a book
For now I can only guess what's coming next
By examining your timid smile
And the ways of the old, old winds blowing you back 'round
And I'm a goddamn fool, but then again so are you
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
Has me seeking out and searching for you
And I never really knew what to do
Sometimes I wish I could find my Rosemary Hill
I'd sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I'd sing
And every once in a while I'd sing a song for you
That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea
And if I wanted it to it would lead you back to me
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
Is something that I have heard before
A children's tale, the lonesome wail of a lion's roar
This song gives me chills every time I play the long dark Story! ❤
How am I just finding this now? So great!
what a great song for the long dark, cant think of anything that suits it more.
