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
Liv Dressler, how did they sound at the talent shows ?
Ur so lucky
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.
Liv Dressler CZcams showed them to me because of another artist who is up and coming sings a similar tone. I love it!
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
Gaith Alani hmmm ads getting smarter nowaday
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.
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 :""")
"I was born to endure this kind of weather"
Thank you for giving me the strength to go on
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
awww I'm sorry 😢💖
***** thank you, i'm just happy i can keep her memory alive with this :)
That's a sweet name for what I'm sure was a sweet kitty.
WHHAAAAA MY MOM WAS A CAT?????
😢😢 sorry for your lost
this song plants a seed that contains both happiness and sadness in me, how is that possible?
Bubu Cloud check out float on by modest mouse, and also check out easy easy by king krule
"how is that possible?"
Yes.
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....
Bubu Cloud Cuz you are a teenager.
Bubu Cloud It's melancoly, the hapiness to be sad.. :)
Apparently I can be crying with a smile on my face.
Ryan Coke so get this comment. Good shit!
Same, bud.
I love when people with this kind of talent and passion get the attention they deserve.
joshua church I have some talent.
Same
Me encanta estas dos don muy buenas
Ten years later and their voices are even more incredible.
it's 2020, and i'm still listening.
I only started listening to them at the start of 2020. Glad to say that now, 17 years later, I'm still listening to and enjoying them.
April 2020 i was discovered
Found them because of the Long Dark.
me too
It's 2024 and I'm still listening
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
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
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.
swedish people are musical geniuses, i swear....first aid kit, max martin, avicii, alesso, lykke li, tove lo, abba...amazing :o)
+Dope Cat wai avcii is sweadish DOSENT MATTER BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY AWESOME! and agree they are! LUCKY PEOPLE THAT ACCUALLY ARE SWEADISH!
+Dope Cat you forgot Roxette :3
oh heck ya i loooove roxette
Blueheart 7581 me too, I'm swedish btw
and Pewdiepie is swedish aha :')
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
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.
Those harmonies... exquisite.
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.
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
@@unnecessaryapostrophe4047 lmao same. That line irks me so much
Do you want the truth … or something beautiful - Paloma
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 😄🥰
How have I NOT discovered these two until now. I'm hooked.
+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.
I'm surprised too, its been out 4 years and I haven't heard it? youtube suggestions need to step it up
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.
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!
Z. Be
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.
The red & Blue cross with yellow ”arrows” is an interpretation of a cross Gram had on his back on a suede? suit , see photos from the Flying Buritos.
@@jonasdahlin8670 I will do that. Thank you Jonas and someday soon I would like to visit that spot. I wish I knew about when I passed thru.
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?
@@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.
You mean corporate music? 😂
@@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
I have a soulmate and this is our song.
glad you've found yours. peace unto you, friend.
Oof, right in the feels D':
KyleKat
Turtleproof 😥
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🥺💕
How am I only hearing this now? It’s a masterpiece ladies.
We still here
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.
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.
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.
one of the best harmonization records ever made..
Every Canadian would burst apart to hear you duet with Jim Cuddie. But the sweetness of it all could kill us,
Wow, for being Swedish, they both sound like they were born & raised in Tennessee or Kentucky. Beautiful voices!
Maybe the carolinas
Didn’t even know they are Swedish and I am from Sweden.
Their accents slip a little... HOW DARRRR HUUUUUUUUGGGGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@vika0194 that cannot be possible; they've been sommarpratare and performed during the Polar prize concerts for both Paul Simon and Patti Smith
@@nv96andm Doesn’t matter. I know now but didn’t then.
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.
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.
How beautiful they sound, these two were born to sing.
Their voices blend so well and you can hear every word clearly.
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!
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.
I suspected that this was filmed in Joshua Tree! I agree. I love them even more that they filmed it where Gram passed away. 🌵🌸🌵✌️
+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.
MediaPC
Yeah. In the town of Joshua Tree, pedant. You do know there's a town called Joshua Tree, right?
+AeroDoe Of course I know that. I was there around that time. Were you?
The facts remain the same, you do know that, right?
+MediaPC Semper Fi.
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.
You crazy!
Don't ever change ^•^
+Angelica Romero me too angelica.....merry me
Good happy tume
Happy days Angelica x
That's crazy? Nah :D It's more than justified
"I'm defeated and I gladly wear the crown"
That is one great turn of phrase
I can hear the Scandinavian folk song flavor in their vocal style. So nice.
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.
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
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.
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.
This feels so 70s country American
I get more of the Trio vibe listening to this - Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton and Linda Rondstadt.
This is some really good folk
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.
Lovely tribute to Emmylou, June, Johnny, and Gram
your songs make me cry..in a good way. Brilliant musicians
Apparently the only people who remember what country music sounds like are Swedish. Honestly didn't see that one coming.
comrade hermit Listen to The Common Linnets and Ilse De Lange (they’re from the Netherlands)
comrade hermit And Douwe Bob
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.
Caitlin Cary & Thad Cockrell, Begonias
😆
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.
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!
These girls have got it! Swedish people are musical geniuses💕
One of the best bridges I’ve ever heard, no doubt
This song has the most hauntingly beautiful bridge, I can listen to just those 45 seconds over and over...yep here I go again
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!
This has become one of my favorite songs. These girls are terrific, I hope they go far!
Amazing gift these girls have
It's one of the best songs Ive heard in years
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.
Thank you Sweden. Again a fabulous band. This tune is an ever green. Thanks for being there.
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’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
Class. Proper class. Brilliant.
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
In this troubled word, these two show that there can still be harmony.
Evidently, it takes 2 little gals from another country to show us Americans what REAL country music is nowadays. Shocker.
There's still plenty of good country artists from the States - you just won't find it on radio stations
I just discovered these girls thanks to the CZcams algorithm, and for once, I'd like to thank CZcams 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.
I was in the right place at the right time when this song came on.
I already believed in angels - now I have heard them sing! I am Speechless.....you brought an alpha centaur to tears. so beautiful.
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.
one of the most beautifully sad songs I have heard.
This song pulls me between happy and blessed to sad and grieving over those who have passed thar were dear to me. How I wish I could see them again.
One of the best bands to come out of Sweden since the days of ABBA and Roxette.
This is one of the best songs I've heard in the last decade. Perhaps my life !

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.
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.
Lyrics by a Swedish teenager,
la tradición no es abuela es el Gram Parsons,,hizo mucha música con Emilou,es maravilloso,
Gorgeous! Two girls from Sweden revive country music.
This song was my first introduction to First Aid Kit. Beautiful.
Mine was their cover of Tiger Mountain Peasant Song by Fleet Foxes.
This is the song I first listened to when I arrived Denmark on winter, a foreign land. Alone and far away from home, the first sentence hit me like a train, and I told myself I can endure this weather... I bought the ticket to First Aid Kit on Janurary, and I finally got to see them yesterday in Rosklide - Listening again to Emmylou after all that happened in these seven months, reminds me how amazing is life. Thank you for the great music :)
Utterly stunning.
8 years later still one of my favourite songs, these girls are wonderful
So are you my friend #wonderful
Words really cannot express the kind of emotions that i feel when listen to this track. Great job.
WE FIGHTING BACK ANTARES WITH THIS ONE🗣️🔥🔥🔥
What an unbelievable masterpiece
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.❤
+Adrena Soto You do like country then!
+Tanner Bryan no!! D:
+Adrena Soto I know what you mean. I typically hate country music, but I really love this band!
Actually this is not really country it's more like alternative music
+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
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
Little Darlings, parents pride and the hope of American music, these girls have lived before and are back again....they make my soul smile...
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!
One of the best songs in the last 20 years. I listen to it every day !
How am I just hearing this now? So beautiful.
Great sense of history, glad that took the time to travel to Cap Rock for the video.
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
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.
it brings about a melancholic joy...specially in spring and summer afternoons...and truelly opens the memory chest.
This feels like a lost memory on a lonely summer afternoon a very long time ago.
This song is an absolute Gem,truly beautiful 😍
Gram would be smiling so big at this!! Sing, little darling...
They played this song in Bryant Park ice skating rink in NYC and i fell in love, i almost stumbled and crash trying to shazam the song LOL
breathtaking
Beautifull this song from the netherlands 30 years old 2024 someone else lisening this song?
