I'm not 72 lol I'm alone...in a battered auld caravan...in the Scottish Highlands... It's after midnight...on a pink moon and the peak of the lyrids meteor shower 😍 and this is the theme tune I chose for tonight's movie for one... I'm heading out to look at the pink moon and catch a few shooting stars. Couldn't make this perfection up lol. Pure bliss 😁♥️😎
I'm not far behind you--I'm 67 and a diehard Fever Ray fan. This first album changed the way I listen to music. And this video--perhaps my most-beloved video ever. Haunting, beautiful, touching, thought-provoking, just like the song.
I was walking home in Edinburgh to that song one night, after a late library session in the middle of the winter. Snow was falling and the streets were eerily empty so it just fit perfectly. Just as I was about to arrive I met a fox under these old pedestrian lights, its footprints imprinted in the snow, watching me. I remember staying there a while, thinking how peaceful this was. Perfect song, perfect moment.
This song brought me to tears. I know there are so many people in this world that are living in pain. I know that I’m not the only one that feels the same. I just want to say if you are reading this be strong and love yourself. When we do that that’s the greatest treasure. Namaste my fellow humans
You stand still despite all the things you had so far, this makes me think you are a very strong person. Be happy sir, there is someone here thinks of you, sending love and respect and all the positive vibes, hope you feel them and get better and better everyday.
Don't ever minimize what you feel, your pain is pain and pain is real. There are a lot of people hurting but that doesn't mean your pain is any less real. Don't stop reaching out my friend
@JUST BEING HUMAN, Much love for Reaching out! Please stay or get close to someone who can help you out of the dark. Sometimes you need a hand, but never stop being strong for yourself.. Wish you all the best to come.
Now as a grown man, I'm finally becoming able to go back, way back through the time, to the place, and find, hug, comfort and talk to the child I once was, and who is sitting there alone, frightened, hurt and misunderstood. That kid I used to be and - that I still am. To tell him that it's not his fault and that everything'll be ok.
Thank you so much for this. You just put my thoughts & emotions into words I would like to use to help me explain to my adult son part of what was taken from me long ago. You are not alone
He has many battles ahead of him. Take your comfort and fight for those who never achieved salvation. It is not your fault, it never was but you loved those who made mistakes and they put their pain onto you because they couldn't carry it any longer. So now what? Use what you have to help others. There is no greater calling than this.
One of the things I love about the internet, social media, streaming etc, is there's SO MUCH access to great music out there other than the utter shit they try to shove down our throats on the radio and in the mainstream. I haven't listened to the radio in probably 10 years.
like.. you can just listen to ANYTHING you like, by the thing in your pocket. anywhere. talk to anyone while doin that. the future is now, nobody can convince me otherwise
It’s been over a decade and this song still brings back all the memories of me praying that the streets would be empty while I would look for somewhere to sleep.
Thanks to watching Good Girls Guide To Murder on tv last night, i heard this for the first time. How hauntingly beautiful this is. Listened to it all day, brilliant.
@@katebrunetti7082 same with me, found quite a couple songs i like and never even knew about them before from series/films such as Lost Girl, Bones, Guardians of the Galaxy etc.
@@bleak3304 well I guess everyone has their own perception about everything.. this song makes me feel alone too but in a way I feel good and strong about
Dark but never pessimistic. The healing power of night, when you can take comfort in your self and become fully charged for the merciless rays of daylight.
You are right about it not being pessimistic on a face level. This song is a fucking wound that i have to constantly pick open. It was shown to me by a person i try not to think about, and i always return to it and all the numbness comes back and i feel like shit. And yet, i keep coming back...
I was watching DARK on Netflix that this track entrapped my imagination and jelled so beautifully into a particular sequence of the movie. The voice and the music is soulful and mesmerizing from start till end. It is an old tract but beautiful melodies are timeless and never time barred. I wonder how many such beautiful songs are left unheard by many like me.
Wow, today i realized, that Karin Dreijer Andersson is the singer of Fever Ray AND The Knife AND Royksopps 'What else is there'. I love her Voice so much.
this song means so much to me- since i was a child i was abused- and i try to fit in this world , but the more smiling faces i see, the more i see that i dont fit in with them and my mourning, so i feel isolated- actually in songs like this and especially this song i feel understood, accepted, i can open barriers and ii feel like i can walk with my sadness on the streets. love, emi
its the end of 2023, I know this song since it came out. I read the comments of you guys and cry like a baby, don't know why, but I let it happened.... it touched me so deep inside of me. I send love out in the world. ❤❤❤❤
I can understand. This song gives me so much hope and strength during difficult, painful times. I feel as if the song is very relevant and applicable to me and very appropriate for me when I'm feeling sad, lonely, isolated and hopeless and in a state of spiritual starvation.
What’s weird is my mum sent me this song before she passed away in December and I never realised how deep this was until she was gone, it makes a lot of sense to me now Here’s to you mum 🍻
This is a poetic masterpiece. A song about isolation, very true today. And Karin's exceptionally nuanced voice together with the unique sound of twilight make this a perfect companion on a sleepless night ! Sure seems to feel like you are waking up surrounded by icy crystals on a winter's morning.
Actually it's a song written from the perspective of a deer according to an interview with Karin. Morning keep the streets empty for me is about traveling cars and the deer keeping safe.
Heilkraft Thanks for the info. I like it ! "I'm laying down eating snow" takes a new meaning, as a calling from Nature herself, instead of being a request for solitude. That being said, there's always more than one interpretation to a work of art.
Found elsewhere: Empathetic is a recent term; it comes from empathy, which was coined by the German philosopher Rudolf Lotze in 1858. Lotze believed that when you look at a work of art, you project your own sensibilities onto it.
We need to tend to the wounded. The human soul is at odds with itself, conflicted and suffering. We ignore the tired, drug-addicted, homeless suffering on the streets, hoping it will simply go away. That problem will not heal itself; it requires action, in inspiration from our artists who have become god-like in their castles and disconnected from their people. Say nothing of our leaders, because they are even worse. What do we do? I start with myself, trying to heal the city I call home--Seattle. I start in 3 days working downtown on the streets and alleyways where I once hurt and played. I do it for love of humanity, to preserve whatever precious good still remains. Great Song.
Brother you do good. I work with homeless people as my job. Its not easy and its hard to do a difference in the current system. But its possible to do micro actions. That do a difference in the long run.
your comment spit the passion I feel as a watcher , a vagabond, a dharma bum , a human . You articulated a thought that had already seeded inside me it was like poetry hearing expressed . Thanks.
Can't believe this song came out in 2009, just been binge watching Bones and heard it on there so searched for it and found it a short while later. Great song!!!
I realy really love this song. It is said by a man who loves few things in his miserable life. The song is very deep and very me. I will return here for many years in a row.
When you drive at 3am and nobody is outside and the streets are so calm and easy to drive.......Sometimes you just wish life was simpler and less people.
Or just that everyone had at least four hours out of the day where everything shut down and was calm. It could be that way if more people would choose to get on that wavelength.
@@headspace2003 It's gonna be ironic considering your name, but this whole album has always felt like a cliché of Karin's headspace at the time of writing. Much like your thoughts will wander everywhere over the course of a day, reminiscing about the past, enjoying a passing moment, thinking about mundane things,...
I listened to this album during a very dark part of my life and it helped keep me from jumping off of the highest building I could find. I heard Fever Ray through a streaming radio thing I think Last FM was it and it played Concrete Walls which blew me away. Then I got the full album and all of the Knife stuff that was out there. I'd shuffle it all up with some other artists and it was how I kept sane for a while.
I dont know if i have cancer, i dont know how much it could be spreaded. I had so many plans, i wont habe time, my kid would be orphan so young. Ther3s nothing left for you to suffer if you are ill. That is the real game over
I have listened to this song more than any song in my life on TH-cam. I am almost 50 years old. A musician a reader and a thinking person.i love Radiohead, Nick Cave, Pink Floyd, hell even Chemical Brothers, Eminem and The Doors. There is something permanent about the love of this song. Truly... Permanent.
@@yorkethehumble I ended up here after finding the Meute version of What else is there? (It's amazing btw). Then I thought I'd go back and watch the original and decided to look into the singer's other stuff! Loving her voice.
@@annikajohansson9171 I've seen one episode of it, it's Swedish obviously lol. It was good from what I remember, I just haven't been able to watch any TV lately 😞😭 but yes I did the soundtrack and it was amazing 😍😍
That feeling I got, while listening to your sounds... That is the reason I will never need alcohol or drugs to get a "high" feeling to diconnect from everything else. Thank you for your awesome work!
Strange I've never heard this song before.. I was laying on the couch sleeping for half asleep and the show Bones was on in the background. I heard this song while I was sleeping and it was so tranquil and so peaceful I immediately woke up listened to the whole song and then it just bothered the crap out of me to find it. Really really good song
I used to love sneaking out of my boarding school and wandering the empty streets, the woods and heaths at night. It was an escape from painful, unhappy, stressful captivity into a quiet and mysterious world, simultaneously peaceful and thrilling. Under snow, the mundane was transformed into the magical - all the more so because in southern England it's so rare and so ephemeral. This music captures the essence of those memories so well.
@@Caramac68 Thanks so much for your kindness and understanding. I deal with the negative memories by listening to music and writing my first novel - very therapeutic. And I still wander the streets at night sometimes...
Red riding hood - mit anderen Worten: Hollywood verarscht unser Rotkäppchen! Schwachmaten! Da hab ichs zum ersten mal gehört. Geht nicht aus Kopf. Well done!
Danke euch, habe heute das 1mal eine Beurteilung gegeben. Ich bin schon etwas elter dass heißt gute 50. Habe mich gefreut das ob alt oder jung ein schönes Gefühl zur Musik zu haben.
and stil true we are all sold for hunger of mcdonalds money and eat us fat and hunger for more mmmmmmmm!!!!!!!! when wil we ever wake up??? NEVER!!!!!!!
I heard this Song around 10 years ago in my first flat. It was a dark and cold day in november and my first love broke up with me. I felt so damn sad and lonely. I had literally no one to talk and began to drink to ease the pain. At this night i discovered a lot of good music. Fever Ray helped me because i felt understood. Music is such a wonderful thing
if you are reading this, understand you are not your emotions. they come and go. identifying with your emotions takes you on the path of suffering. transcend them by active observing them.
@@ramonamariagravity2123 you welcome :) love your playlists of music. if you resonated with what i wrote 2 years ago, if you allow me, i recommend a practice called Anapanna. it develops the skill of observation without the need of labeling and just remain equanimous. search for "Anapana Meditation For All (English - 10 mins) (with Subtitles)" may all beings be happy !
My mom recently passed away on November 30, 2022. This song is the way I've been feeling since she passed. Dark, sad and alone. I miss my mom so very much.
She misses you too I'm very sure of it. She wouldn't want you to be sad in her absence. Honor her memories with elation and thankfulness that those were the experiences that you enjoyed. Keep your head up it will get better. Have a good day.
I'm sharing this masterpiece to all human beings who is feeling just like me: sleepless, struggled through life and united with all the stuff like a phoenix 💚🤗
OMG, this song is one of my favs. Never heard of this band before about a month ago. This song is literally insane! It's a such a story and movement is wonderful. I wish they did more on this level. I have only heard it twice, and just now starting to get all the feeling shared in it. Want to blast it in the car so I can really feel the depth! Congrats to such an amazing tune!
My literature teacher send us this masterpiece the day we left the classrooms. He said this song feels like a credits scene track from our whole year movie. I’ll always be grateful for what he saw on us
Her voice is so magical that sounds like if there was more than one person singing at the time. Its sounds light but powerful at the same time, this girl is pure gold; brilliant !!!
it's 3 o'clock in the morning. I can't sleep and now in the dark of my bedroom I listening this and can't figure it out why tears are running my face down. This is fucking awesome so deep so dark and so beautiful.
Whenever I listen to this song I recall trip to Rome and walking by night, drinking beer with friends from archeological studies with Colosseum behind our backs, feeling all the history of the Eternal City and listening to this song a lot. Wonderful memories.
Keep the Streets Empty Memory comes when memory's old I am never the first to know Following the stream up North Where do people like us float There is room in my lap For bruises, asses, handclaps I will never disappear For forever, I'll be here Whispering Morning, keep the streets empty for me Morning, keep the streets empty for me I'm laying down, eating snow My fur is hot, my tongue is cold On a bed of spider web I think of how to change myself A lot of hope in a one man tent There's no room for innocence So take me home before the storm Velvet mites will keep us warm Whispering Morning, keep the streets empty for me Morning, keep the streets empty for me Whispering Morning, keep the streets empty for me Morning, keep the… -Fever Ray
@@justabitofjunkie2595 and to the OP here, I thank you for the lyrics! My old ears kept hearing 'Warden keep the streets empty for me.' Sucks to get old... thank you again!
Glad to see the same, like minded people as myself. You all have amazing taste in music ! I'm using this song, for inspiration writing a chapter in my book. Thank you Fever Ray, this song invokes emotions. I never knew possible.
I really feel like I need to explain this song from the perspective of a homeless person. Because as hauntingly sad and beautiful as it is, I feel like it is more so, from that perspective. I feel like the first verse is expressing moments of abuse that much of the time will lead a youth to homelessness most likely coupled with the abusive lifestyle of actually being homeless. There are many preditors that prey on the homeless and when you are living with serious abuse and you become homeless, there is even a concern that you may be killed and yet a refusal to allow that to happen...a refusal to become one of the dissappeared and a will to fight for yourself. I feel like the chorus refers to the need for the homeless to stay invisible, when you are invisible you can't be arrested or targeted. So, when morning comes, you are praying the streets stay empty until you can find a way to blend in or somewhere to go. I feel like the next verse, is showing how it actually feels to live on the street. When you live on the street, you will find food and bed wherever you can, even if you have to eat snow or sleep on a bed of spiderwebs but at the same time, you are thankful if you have a warm coat. In those moments, when you are alone and going to sleep, all you can think about is how to change, how to fix your life. You have to cling to hope in order to keep going...even when you look around and see that you currently live in a tent or (if you are real lucky) a car but one thing that you lose, that you never get back, is innocents. You can't remain innocent, when you see what happens on the streets or behind certain closed doors, where you or someone you know might end up and because you know how bad things can get, you pray to find home before you lose hope or become a statistic. I feel like the last words "uncover our heads and reveal our souls, we were hungry befoure we were born" is the full truth behind all of it. If people could take off the veil of prejidice or the mask of invisibility and see the Human being and thier, likely very sad, story...maybe we could make a change. People like this are not bad people, most of them never really had a chance. Alot of them are born into poverty, abuse, mental illness or drugs. Some of them may have had to run and hope for the best, in order to save thier own life.
You explained it so well, so beautifully. Thank you so much. I've always loved this song, and this song has always given me so much hope and strength during difficult and painful times. I now understand the true meaning of this song so much better thanks to you.
Idk how I found this song but I remember I was driving and it just stopped raining so everything looked shiny and I wasn’t driving fast but steady. And this song started playing. Legit I felt like I was the main character of a movie. One hand on the wheel. And elbow on the hand rest and my hand on my face as if I was “thinking” just cruising along to this song. Such a good vibe
i must say this is like a breath of fresh air i started listening to it today and it gave me the same feeling i had back in the 70s glasgow when i heard joy division for the 1st time so uplifting darkness to the light tones
I don't even remember the first time I heard this song, must be in high school about 8 years ago, but I've never lost this recondite connection to it. I grew up drifting through many different periods in my life, moved to another country, changed lifestyles, views, friends and looks, but throughout all these years this song meant a lot to me, it soothed me and reconnected with my deepest essence, let me feel the unfathomable force of creation and hear the eternal call of emptiness from the deeps. It guided me through lonely walks in all kinds of places around the world and inside my head. It covered me with an invisible blanket on the darkest night and lulled me to sleep. And now I'm here to listen to this song one more time on the eve of my 23rd birthday so as to wrap up one more year of my life and return to what's most important. Thank you, Fever Ray, thank you for writing a score for my life.
McPherson Nikita I relate to this song super deeply as well even if I can’t put it to words as you did. That was lovely, thank you for sharing and happy belated birthday!
Love this '! If this song is written from the perspective of a deer, then "morning keep the streets empty for me" has a clear meaning; safe passage in his travels without being hit on the road. Realising that made me shiver . Bravo ..

Say nothing of our leaders, because they are even worse. What do we do? I start with myself, trying to heal the city I call home--Seattle. I start in 3 days working downtown on the streets and alleyways where I once hurt and played. I do it for love of humanity, to preserve whatever precious good still remains. Great Song.
What a beautiful comment.xxxx
Brother you do good.
I work with homeless people as my job. Its not easy and its hard to do a difference in the current system.
But its possible to do micro actions. That do a difference in the long run.

Deep…. To all of the strong … keep going never stop . Stay blessed and always with faith .
your comment spit the passion I feel as a watcher , a vagabond, a dharma bum , a human . You articulated a thought that had already seeded inside me it was like poetry hearing expressed . Thanks.
Can't believe this song came out in 2009, just been binge watching Bones and heard it on there so searched for it and found it a short while later. Great song!!!
it's also on Dark on Netflix. season one.
Yes.. When the tirocinant Vincent is been shooted 😢
First heard this song watching "Bones" and have been obsessed with it since. Very sad episode but amazing song!
same here
I need this song on a 2 hour loop. It's brilliant. Love it.
All night to rest 😔
Year after year I come back to this song. It's timeless beauty surpasses explanation. The haunting beauty of darkness...
I realy really love this song. It is said by a man who loves few things in his miserable life. The song is very deep and very me. I will return here for many years in a row.
How Very ... emotionally Deep an spiritual.. Luv it 😁
When you drive at 3am and nobody is outside and the streets are so calm and easy to drive.......Sometimes you just wish life was simpler and less people.
...Move to a small town with under 1000 people.
Or just that everyone had at least four hours out of the day where everything shut down and was calm. It could be that way if more people would choose to get on that wavelength.
She has the coolest voice ever.
Where is she originally from? Of course Amerikan but more?

@@Misticaraissa Thanks 👍
A masterpiece. Such as many songs on this album.
Yeah, it's odd cos the record has some of the profound music I've ever encountered and also songs about being 7 and concrete
@@headspace2003 It's gonna be ironic considering your name, but this whole album has always felt like a cliché of Karin's headspace at the time of writing. Much like your thoughts will wander everywhere over the course of a day, reminiscing about the past, enjoying a passing moment, thinking about mundane things,...
I listened to this album during a very dark part of my life and it helped keep me from jumping off of the highest building I could find. I heard Fever Ray through a streaming radio thing I think Last FM was it and it played Concrete Walls which blew me away. Then I got the full album and all of the Knife stuff that was out there. I'd shuffle it all up with some other artists and it was how I kept sane for a while.
So
I dont know if i have cancer, i dont know how much it could be spreaded. I had so many plans, i wont habe time, my kid would be orphan so young. Ther3s nothing left for you to suffer if you are ill. That is the real game over
I really hope you don't have cancer. Wish you all the best and much love! :)
deep empathy to you. I hope you got better news in the meantime. @@telmaandrade274
❤ wow 🥺👍
This song has more meaning now than ever before. So beautiful. So perfect.
Heh, good point!
@Wrong Profile rose colored glasses, friend
I have listened to this song more than any song in my life on TH-cam. I am almost 50 years old. A musician a reader and a thinking person.i love Radiohead, Nick Cave, Pink Floyd, hell even Chemical Brothers, Eminem and The Doors. There is something permanent about the love of this song. Truly... Permanent.
Christopher Pelton you like so much which i do too :) røyksopp, bjørk, mike oldfild??
I’m 4 years older than you and I listen to the same music ad some more punk and alternative in there.
@@_t4Re_ I love her song with royksopp, "what else is there?"
@@yorkethehumble I ended up here after finding the Meute version of What else is there? (It's amazing btw). Then I thought I'd go back and watch the original and decided to look into the singer's other stuff! Loving her voice.
It is a master piece im.39 old...respect for you😊
Dark has some of the best soundtracks in a Netflix series ever!!
And Deliver me!
@@annikajohansson9171 I've seen one episode of it, it's Swedish obviously lol. It was good from what I remember, I just haven't been able to watch any TV lately 😞😭 but yes I did the soundtrack and it was amazing 😍😍

That feeling I got, while listening to your sounds... That is the reason I will never need alcohol or drugs to get a "high" feeling to diconnect from everything else. Thank you for your awesome work!
Cute girl .
Nice and true words. Trust yourself
Hello
Sarah lol ok
Strange I've never heard this song before.. I was laying on the couch sleeping for half asleep and the show Bones was on in the background. I heard this song while I was sleeping and it was so tranquil and so peaceful I immediately woke up listened to the whole song and then it just bothered the crap out of me to find it. Really really good song
It's taken me decades before I stumbled across songs. It was of course before the internet.
I found It the same way, it immediately caught my attention when I heard it
This just happened to me
First time I also heard it was watching Bones
Bones rerun was on this morning, and this song woke me up from a dead sleep, and I had to find it.
The Dead Can Dance brought me here. I am so glad they did. 😍This song is just unbelievable. I wonder how long I will be having it on repeat ..... 🤔
Educate me. I love Dead Can Dance, is this one of the singers?
@@mattboots3619 I don't think so.
You been playing with WeGee boards again?
I used to love sneaking out of my boarding school and wandering the empty streets, the woods and heaths at night. It was an escape from painful, unhappy, stressful captivity into a quiet and mysterious world, simultaneously peaceful and thrilling. Under snow, the mundane was transformed into the magical - all the more so because in southern England it's so rare and so ephemeral. This music captures the essence of those memories so well.
I hope things got better for you but it seems to me that you found moments to celebrate in the elements xxxx And music can help so much
@@Caramac68 Thanks so much for your kindness and understanding. I deal with the negative memories by listening to music and writing my first novel - very therapeutic. And I still wander the streets at night sometimes...
❤❤well said❤❤🏴
So ne unfassbare melancholische Musik, sowas zu spüren und zu fühlen is wunderbar!!!😘
Vielen lieben Dank 😊
Red riding hood - mit anderen Worten: Hollywood verarscht unser Rotkäppchen! Schwachmaten! Da hab ichs zum ersten mal gehört. Geht nicht aus Kopf. Well done!
Es ist auch die Melodie die mich berührt!
Danke euch, habe heute das 1mal eine Beurteilung gegeben. Ich bin schon etwas elter dass heißt gute 50. Habe mich gefreut das ob alt oder jung ein schönes Gefühl zur Musik zu haben.
Just when I think, "it can't get any better!" the flute solo comes in at 3:36 and melts my soul 😌❤
That moment takes me to the deepest of my childhood, where everything was warmer and softer
Это настолько божествееное звучание!!! Прошло уже 10 лет, музыка актуальна до сих пор!
Я ее первый раз месяц назад услышал.В сериале Тьма.
@@vitali9904 другой трек в сериале викинги заглавная тема, а вообще Knife тогда гуглите...

I heard this Song around 10 years ago in my first flat. It was a dark and cold day in november and my first love broke up with me. I felt so damn sad and lonely. I had literally no one to talk and began to drink to ease the pain. At this night i discovered a lot of good music. Fever Ray helped me because i felt understood. Music is such a wonderful thing
Yeah, how cool siblings groove together 😊 ...Karin and Olaf ❤ From WA state USA. Thank you
one of those HAUNTING songs!
if you are reading this, understand you are not your emotions. they come and go. identifying with your emotions takes you on the path of suffering. transcend them by active observing them.
Thank you, i really needed that right now!
@@ramonamariagravity2123 you welcome :) love your playlists of music. if you resonated with what i wrote 2 years ago, if you allow me, i recommend a practice called Anapanna. it develops the skill of observation without the need of labeling and just remain equanimous. search for "Anapana Meditation For All (English - 10 mins) (with Subtitles)" may all beings be happy !
This song touched my soul
И мою😊
And mine too.
One of the best songs ever written.
... this brilliant tone poem is an absolute masterpiece ... thank you Sweden for all of the magnificent music ...
What a profound song! Accidentally stumbled upon it...can't believe it's 14 years old!
Wow and I even one year after you. Can't understand that it wasen't and isen't in the radio
Better late than never
Sound Track of Red Ridinghood, awesome movie..
My mom recently passed away on November 30, 2022. This song is the way I've been feeling since she passed. Dark, sad and alone. I miss my mom so very much.
She misses you too I'm very sure of it. She wouldn't want you to be sad in her absence. Honor her memories with elation and thankfulness that those were the experiences that you enjoyed. Keep your head up it will get better. Have a good day.
She would like to see you in happy mood, do not forget this. I’m sure she is watching you, please try to be happy…. :’)
@Mikie gone but not forgotten!
I share my feelings with you! My mom passed away too, in the beginning this year (01/21/2023) 🥺😔
Nur ein genialer Geist hat hervorragende Unterhaltung mit sich selbst.
I'm sharing this masterpiece to all human beings who is feeling just like me: sleepless, struggled through life and united with all the stuff like a phoenix 💚🤗
Two years later. Well, my sleep is much better and I'd like to say thank you for listening this song 😊
This song makes me explore the deepest and darkest parts of my soul
Not a bad thing but stay around the light ;)
para tanto capo?
okay
Serial Dark, absolutely amazing.
A very shallow mind you clearly have then. Fuck
Recently went to Jonkoping on business, was listening to this at 2am when it was getting light. Want to see more of Sweden.
This is one of those songs I don't know how I've never heard it until now, but I know I'll never forget it.
OMG, this song is one of my favs. Never heard of this band before about a month ago. This song is literally insane! It's a such a story and movement is wonderful. I wish they did more on this level. I have only heard it twice, and just now starting to get all the feeling shared in it. Want to blast it in the car so I can really feel the depth! Congrats to such an amazing tune!
They're great. Check out The Knife, too. It's her other band
@@liathompson2332 cool. Looking it up.
@@Curious_Skeptic Still Light is a favorite. The lyrics are simple yet powerful
@liathompson2332 mind blown! Damn. Thank you such!
It’s so peace full in the late night early morning especially during a calm snowfall. To me the times between 2 Am and 5 Am are the best.
A song that is for now, for then, for always . The memories you have had .The ones you haven't .
My literature teacher send us this masterpiece the day we left the classrooms. He said this song feels like a credits scene track from our whole year movie. I’ll always be grateful for what he saw on us
Walking in the snow 🌨 6am
Is what brought me here,
Years past ❤❤
This sound touch my mind 3:17
MASTERPIECE.
I can't find anything better. Never.
Her voice is so magical that sounds like if there was more than one person singing at the time. Its sounds light but powerful at the same time, this girl is pure gold; brilliant !!!
It is.
I'm 66 and a Dark fan. This song always stays with me.
Special ❤
Danke für den wunderschönen Song👍
it's 3 o'clock in the morning. I can't sleep and now in the dark of my bedroom I listening this and can't figure it out why tears are running my face down.
This is fucking awesome so deep so dark and so beautiful.
I know the feeling.. and it doesn't have to be that late
Same
Yeah well. It's almost 4:00 right now. Bottle is not empty, i'm drunk enough. This song helps to survive. Definately.

J'ai découvert ce titre dans un épisode de Bones. Suspense, émotion et frissons tout le long de la colonne vertébrale. Bravo et merci pour ce partage.
This song made me realize that not all lives matter, Life and Lives are two different things. The wicked are kept alive Forever.
Whenever I listen to this song I recall trip to Rome and walking by night, drinking beer with friends from archeological studies with Colosseum behind our backs, feeling all the history of the Eternal City and listening to this song a lot. Wonderful memories.
Keep the Streets Empty
Memory comes when memory's old
I am never the first to know
Following the stream up North
Where do people like us float
There is room in my lap
For bruises, asses, handclaps
I will never disappear
For forever, I'll be here
Whispering
Morning, keep the streets empty for me
Morning, keep the streets empty for me
I'm laying down, eating snow
My fur is hot, my tongue is cold
On a bed of spider web
I think of how to change myself
A lot of hope in a one man tent
There's no room for innocence
So take me home before the storm
Velvet mites will keep us warm
Whispering
Morning, keep the streets empty for me
Morning, keep the streets empty for me
Whispering
Morning, keep the streets empty for me
Morning, keep the…

Uncover our heads and reveal our souls.
We were hungry before we were born.

I'm using this song, for inspiration writing a chapter in my book.
Thank you Fever Ray, this song invokes emotions. I never knew possible.

this song make me forget the past
and start a new beginning
everything going to alright
you will rise again
This song is so hauntingly beautiful its just amazing
.. For first time Vegeta is right :)
How could you not be drawn into this, and experience something special?
Love her voice. So beautiful with the mood of the song.
You love really easy
I really feel like I need to explain this song from the perspective of a homeless person. Because as hauntingly sad and beautiful as it is, I feel like it is more so, from that perspective.
I feel like the first verse is expressing moments of abuse that much of the time will lead a youth to homelessness most likely coupled with the abusive lifestyle of actually being homeless. There are many preditors that prey on the homeless and when you are living with serious abuse and you become homeless, there is even a concern that you may be killed and yet a refusal to allow that to happen...a refusal to become one of the dissappeared and a will to fight for yourself.
I feel like the chorus refers to the need for the homeless to stay invisible, when you are invisible you can't be arrested or targeted. So, when morning comes, you are praying the streets stay empty until you can find a way to blend in or somewhere to go.
I feel like the next verse, is showing how it actually feels to live on the street. When you live on the street, you will find food and bed wherever you can, even if you have to eat snow or sleep on a bed of spiderwebs but at the same time, you are thankful if you have a warm coat. In those moments, when you are alone and going to sleep, all you can think about is how to change, how to fix your life. You have to cling to hope in order to keep going...even when you look around and see that you currently live in a tent or (if you are real lucky) a car but one thing that you lose, that you never get back, is innocents. You can't remain innocent, when you see what happens on the streets or behind certain closed doors, where you or someone you know might end up and because you know how bad things can get, you pray to find home before you lose hope or become a statistic.
I feel like the last words "uncover our heads and reveal our souls, we were hungry befoure we were born" is the full truth behind all of it. If people could take off the veil of prejidice or the mask of invisibility and see the Human being and thier, likely very sad, story...maybe we could make a change. People like this are not bad people, most of them never really had a chance. Alot of them are born into poverty, abuse, mental illness or drugs. Some of them may have had to run and hope for the best, in order to save thier own life.
Beautifully written
This explaination has left me speechless
You explained it so well, so beautifully. Thank you so much. I've always loved this song, and this song has always given me so much hope and strength during difficult and painful times. I now understand the true meaning of this song so much better thanks to you.
@@typeonegative8726 I agree.
@@musolengongola180 Yes and me too.
Still one of Fever Ray's best, most inherently listenable songs accompanied by a superb video. Keeps me returning time and time again.
Idk how I found this song but I remember I was driving and it just stopped raining so everything looked shiny and I wasn’t driving fast but steady. And this song started playing. Legit I felt like I was the main character of a movie. One hand on the wheel. And elbow on the hand rest and my hand on my face as if I was “thinking” just cruising along to this song.
Such a good vibe
Only stumbled across this absolute masterpiece, simply superb piece of music,touches the soul
I wore this album out. Every song is a masterpiece.
i must say this is like a breath of fresh air i started listening to it today and it gave me the same feeling i had back in the 70s glasgow when i heard joy division for the 1st time so uplifting darkness to the light tones
Exactly. Beautifully put.
Ethereal, dreamlike and utterly haunting. What an amazing song! ❤
And beautiful video
Excellent hypnotic song, running loop since 6 hours... thanks to create this !
Gives me goosebumps every time...
I don't even remember the first time I heard this song, must be in high school about 8 years ago, but I've never lost this recondite connection to it. I grew up drifting through many different periods in my life, moved to another country, changed lifestyles, views, friends and looks, but throughout all these years this song meant a lot to me, it soothed me and reconnected with my deepest essence, let me feel the unfathomable force of creation and hear the eternal call of emptiness from the deeps. It guided me through lonely walks in all kinds of places around the world and inside my head. It covered me with an invisible blanket on the darkest night and lulled me to sleep. And now I'm here to listen to this song one more time on the eve of my 23rd birthday so as to wrap up one more year of my life and return to what's most important. Thank you, Fever Ray, thank you for writing a score for my life.
McPherson Nikita I relate to this song super deeply as well even if I can’t put it to words as you did. That was lovely, thank you for sharing and happy belated birthday!
"Hear the eternal call of emptiness from the deeps" wow..nice formulation, kinda captures the curse and salvation of humankind in one sentence
You should be a writer..
“Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory”
C'est la vie.
This song is like created for late night driving on a highway.
yes! if i still smoked weed itd be perfect for driving and smoking.
and then u both crashed :)
An2quamaraN totalmente de acuerdo, lo pensé antes de leer tu comentario
=) I'll go home this friday from Danmark to Czech republic ( 1.000 km ). Well I am sure now what to listen in the car...
I'm in a New Order concert in Buenos Aires city now, it's amazing
Co za piękny głos, taki czysty jak woda.

Треба думати.
Живые значит🤔 😁
Песня супер, на рипите уже 2 недели. Привет из тёплой Сибири!
Love this '! If this song is written from the perspective of a deer, then "morning keep the streets empty for me" has a clear meaning; safe passage in his travels without being hit on the road. Realising that made me shiver . Bravo ..
