    Wolf mother where you been?
    You look so worn, so thin
    You're a taker, Devil's maker
    Let me hear you sing
    Heyya heyya
    Wolf father at the door
    You don't smile anymore
    You're a drifter, shapeshifter
    Now let me see you run
    Heyya heyya
    Holy light, oh guard the night
    Oh keep the spirits strong
    Watch her grow, child of woe oh
    Keep holding on
    When I ran through the deep dark forest long after this begun
    When the sun would set, the trees were dead and the rivers were none
    And I hoped for a trace to lead me back home from this place
    But there was no sound, there was only me, and my disgrace
    Hey hey hey, hey hey
    Hey hey hey, hey hey
    Hey hey hey, hey hey
    Hey hey hey, hey ya

    You don't smile anymore
    You're a drifter, shapeshifter
    Now let me see you run
    Heyya heyya
    Wayward winds, the voice that sings of a forgotten land
    See it fall, child of woe, oh lend a mending hand
    When I ran through the deep dark forest long after this begun
    When the sun would set, the trees were dead and the rivers were none
    And I hoped for a trace to lead me back home from this place
    But there was no sound, there was only me, and my disgrace
    Hey hey hey, hey hey

    Johan Söderberg, who is not related to the two First Aid Kit sisters, directed the song's music video. It was filmed, "in the deep dark forest of Järvsö, Hälsingland." The Söderberg sisters explained: "It's about our destruction of the planet, but it's also about finding the animal within you. Because we know that underneath that polished, civilized exterior there is definitely a wild creature longing to howl or roar."
    This ballad was extracted from Hemliga bok i den stora mörka skogen (The Secret Book of the Great Dark Forest), a 359 parchment pages rare volume presently displayed in the Nordic Museum in Djurgården and believed to date back from the mid 16th century. According to the Swedish mythology, several wolves entered into an agreement with the underground creature Vittra to seduce humans into venturing through the great forest at night by singing strange songs. The few human who followed the wolves into the darkness got lost in vast expanse of swamps where they had to confront their own past, and for some of them, their disgrace, while Vittra, the underground creature, slowly crawled out to meet each of them.

    What’s crazy is that when I heard this song for the first time, I really imagined a bonfire in the middle of the woods and people in animal masks gathering around and dancing to this song, the leaves on the trees are turning orange and it’s midnight, the song just echoing throughout the hills, so dark, so mysterious yet beautiful all at the same time, I’m very happy to see the actual video being so close to what I pictured in my head. I love how Witchy this feels, makes me want to dress up in old clothes like that and twirl around in a forest somewhere! Lol

      @@bluegoat6323 Not really. Abba is complex sonic stuff , ace of base (Not really liked in Sweden) also. First Aid Kit too. The thing that pushes Sweden into the forefront of music that people like to hear is harmonics and melodys. We have a natural knock of it because of the stron traditions of folk music . Ii goes into all sorts of Swedish production. Heavy metal, pop, Rock, electronica, folk music, classic. Its a consitent formular that brought Swedish produced music out in the world. All hail to Abba, the first swedish group that got a proper break through on the international scene, and the rest followed in the wake.

    Every other year or so I stumble upon a song and it goes like this...
    I listen to it for the first time and it catches my attention. There's something special there: a groove, a rhythm, a note that makes my ears go a-ha!
    I listen to it for the second time and the a-ha becomes a wow! There's clearly something gripping me.
    Then I listen to the song for a third time and I am suddenly overcome with emotion. The lyrics hit home. The melody sweeps me off my feet. I read into it an intensity that I can't control.
    The third time happened this morning as I was making breakfast. By the time the song got to "Where the sun would set, trees were dead and the rivers were none" tears were streaming uncontrollably down my cheeks. My children came down for breakfast and I couldn't stop hugging them all the while covering my face so they wouldn't have to see that their dad was crying for no reason.
    There's a magic feeling of wild, of loss, of death and resilience in this song. Where did it all come from? How did you make up words as beautiful as "the rivers were none"? Where is the wolf now?

      Metal and Pop music has always been where Swedish musicians have shined and excelled the most. ABBA 70s, Roxette in the 80s and early 90s. Ace of Base hit machine in the 90s. Cheiron Studios in Sweden (Max Martin, Denniz Po's studio) was the epicentre of pop music in the mid to late 90s. Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys etc and pretty much every big act flocked to that place to record or have songs written/produced at that studio - they never failed to create hits at that place. Swedes who played metal/hårdrock in the 1980s such as Max Martin became extremely influental in the international pop scene "Martin is the songwriter with the third-most number-one singles on the chart, behind only Paul McCartney (32) and John Lennon (26)."

    I really loved this song when I was younger. I deliberately for years put off learning the actual authorial intent of the creators because I enjoyed reading it from a native perspective. The emphasis on the land and seeing the father and mother described as tired and sad- Hell even the lines about the devil lend well to a native reading. This meant a lot to me as some lonely Navajo kid growing up in a hella urban space.

    Wolf-mother, where you been?
    You look so worn, so thin
    You're a taker, devils-maker
    Let me hear you sing, hey-ya hey-ya
    Wolf-father, at the door
    You don't smile anymore
    You're a drifter, shape-shifter
    Let me see you run, hey-ya hey-ya
    Holy light over the night
    Oh, keep the spirit strong
    Watch it grow, child of war
    Oh, keep holdin' on
    When I run through the deep dark forest long
    After this begun
    Where the sun would set
    The trees were dead
    And the rivers were none
    And I hope for a trace
    To lead me back home from this place
    But there was no sound there was only me, and my disgrace

    You don't smile anymore
    You're a drifter, shape-shifter
    Let me see you run, hey-ya hey-ya
    Wayward winds, a voice that sings
    Of a forgotten land
    See it fall, child of war
    Oh, lend a mending hand
    When I run through the deep dark forest long
    After this begun
    Where the sun would set
    The trees were dead
    And the rivers were none
    And I hope for a trace

    To those wondering, it's clearly a nature focused pagan Viking song from some very talented Swedish sisters. :) Kidding. I don't know what it's about but its beautiful!

    • @ZemplinTemplar
      @ZemplinTemplar Před 4 lety

      Laugh, but I think it's about a broken family that was no longer supportive of their children. The whole mama wolf and papa wolf motive... The papa wolf being described as "not smiling anymore" and a "drifter, shapeshifter", and "running away". The "holy idol guarding the night" thing is, IMHO, the mama wolf keeping up hope, and "keeping a light on" for the papa wolf, while struggling on her own. The lyrics about the dying, haunted forest is about the family or home falling apart.
      Just my opinion, though. :-))
      About the only thing that seems "viking" to me in the song or the vid are the mentions of wolves, and the sun setting fast and the trees in the forest seemingly dying. That kind of sounds like something out of an old folk tale, the rest, not really. I do like the little graphical effects with the "wolf face", though. Pretty cool.

      Same here. Played and listened to metal a very long time. Don't play now but still listen everyday. Check out Grima's "The Moon and it's Shadows." First Aid Kit is one of those few off metal bands that could be metal if there were some distorted guitars. But I'm glad they haven't done that. Their sound is unique and refreshing.
