First Aid Kit - Hard Believer

[BisketEats]

"I just live because I love to and that’s enough you see...

So don’t come preach about morality that’s just human sense to me"

If everyone on this planet could just live by those two lines and get over this cancer on the face of the earth called religion...it would make me soooo happy. And everyone else would be happy too!

Little girls would be able to keep their genitals intact. All women could show their faces in public. The money wasted on religious pursuits could be spent on education.

[BisketEats]

These girls are super special. A beautiful gift to the ears their voices surely are.

@MegHalley...i'll say it again...they are BOTH absolutely gorgeous, just like their music!

@rosskstar...very naive? wah? are you feeling ok? these girls have lyrical concepts well beyond their years!

@eamonreillydotcom...for dogs sake grow up mate. insulting? really? if anything is insulting it's your comment mr! i feel sorry for you if you've been brought up brainwashed with religion but it's time to grow up

[Jellybeanzz26]

beautiful song and beautiful girl =)

[eamonreillydotcom]

insulting song. Can anyone tell me one song by anyone calling unbelievers 'delusional'?? I can't. Johnny Cash definitely wouldn't approve. He was like these girls and thought he could make it all on his own until he 'Came to believe' in a power much greater than himself. He went through a lot more than these little smug kids did too.

[davidfregoli]

I love Johanna pretending to play guitar <3

[yorkie2014]

Stunnin melodies!

[rosskstar]

very naive song by the young girls but it is beautiful

[mojopin09]

...mazzy star and the velvet underground...

[GrotesqueSoulthorn]

Genes have been really tough on the ugly sister...

[jayfeatherrox101]

@GrotesqueSoulthorn

don't be rude about people

[rosskstar]

@GrotesqueSoulthorn you're a sick bastard arn'tcha?

[GrotesqueSoulthorn]

@rosskstar At least not a hypocrite bastard like you

[MegHalley]

The amount of times I've listened to this song !

[MegHalley]

The blonde one is gorgeous :O

[banorgaard1442]

@MegHalley They're both gorgeous

[discomickymouse]

love it!

[FlorianDrummer93]

beautiful girls and music, ... thats what I need to survive :)

[zacassume]

fairplay girls that is ca cacac catchy ;)

[PanterasPorristasSA]

36 people have no ears ...

[olzorify]

Listening to these beautiful Swedish girls, makes me proud of being Swedish :)

[jellyrcw12]

I love this song, because it's beautiful and they are beautiful.

[TheMoonunit13]

This helps my soul

[WhitneyG222]

can't wait to see them in concert!!!! :)

[JayBayBay68]

saw them live last night in Toronto- breathtakingly beautiful!

[pantrax360]

I love this song, but the video creeps me. It's somewhat akin to Buck The Animated Singing Talking Deer, only this psycho has mounted girls' heads.

[uiruu]

Love the atheist lyrics. Good to know musicians out there have common sense.

[OrkaVaEnKlagFrans2]

Johanna, marry me!! Seriously!!

[cyberactive8]

you girls have talent there's no denying. I hope you keep an open mind to consider your philosophy as you go on with your lives.

[JHBFLORIDA]

You girls are badass. Come to Florida.

[levanehh]

@JHBFLORIDA

They already did.

[JHBFLORIDA]

@levanehh Ah. What a bummer...

[Millertime101]

Beautiful!

[ChuckTrebloc]

I'm in love.... @_@ *le gasp*

[theacademyisforeva]

beautiful song, by beautiful artist :)

[harmonyofangel]

Who's who?

sorry for asking this I'm new to First Aid Kit. also I think they're amazing.

[MrLepidottero]

gloryhole.

[iamceleste111597]

The one with the bangs looks like a pig. o_o

[madmonkeyness]

@iamceleste111597 i know right lol

[slatslatslats]

@iamceleste111597 pig are one of the most beautiful species on this earth, so i suppose she resembles one in that way. but she's a beautiful human too. they both are.

[motionlesssndtrk]

this is the single most beautiful and amazing song. hearing it live stole my heart in a way that i've never experienced from a live performer i'd not yet heard. best night of my life.

[alisonsmythe]

the blonde sister looks like Dakota fanning!

[avameow]

@alisonsmythe nooo she looks like elle!

[Selenehendrix24]

@alisonsmythe She kind of reminds me of Kurt Cobain! Shes seriously beautiful though, both of them are! and extremely talented<3

[Gardeniaramirez]

@alisonsmythe more like Elle Fanning

[misslollypopgirly]

@alisonsmythe that's what i thought when i saw them live!! she's gorgeous

[BruceLevitan]

beautiful melodies, great lyrics, wonderful harmonies - what more can one say!

[Duffman2011TUT]

Wondeful Women.

Wonderful Voices.

Wonderful Song.

[muxagente]

la niña del flequillo se parece a paula la hermana de marcos, de El internado

[pieceopie13]

i have built most of my political and life-based morals off of what this message has delivered to me. lovely lovely song, and an excellent choice for a pick me up at the end of the day!

[BlindBlannche]

I want a sibling to be with forever and make music with dammit. If we had such in common, if I had such a reflection, shit would be golden

[MusicGivesmeasmile]

Did anyone else see that their eyes are actually really beautifull. ;o

[sk8drew]

@MusicGivesmeasmile but of course, they are swedish.

[OnvbqalcleeiplY88222]

@MusicGivesmeasmile Not only their eyes are beautifull, they are beautifull but just not the way all the people like and that is what makes them even more gifted.

[jchintube]

@MusicGivesmeasmile ofc their eyes are beeootiful! their whole being is precious :'}

[frankiicheeks]

hey im atheist too!! :D

[dropbows90]

"It's ONE life, and it's this life. And it's beautiful."

"I don't need your eternity or your meaning to feel free."

Not everyone needs Jesus. I wish the US had a large proportion of atheists like Sweden does.

[aznxstar6]

MoA, i miss your kpop covers ):

[heetki]

Nice music, but I'm NOT down with the lyrics. Sorry, but love alone cannot get you through life. So many loving people get slaughtered out there every second of the day. We NEED JESUS in the end PERIOD. That being said, everyone is entitled to his & her opinion. Still nice music, great voices.. GOD gave them those angelic voices..

[MrSaffron999]

@heetki I agree I went to see them in Leeds last year.They were brilliant,i love their voices.I'm a Christian who knows Jesus.I can't understand people who believe there's no reason why we're here.We don't create life God does.There is so much a purpose why we are here,and its so much more than to love.Its to find the person who truly loves.

[isak69]

@MrSaffron999 No problem with you believe! Thou! i cant understant you!!! For me, life is beutiful. Happy that i have the opertunity to experience it. Scared thou of people like you, saying God created!!!??? You can't say so because you can't prove it. neither can i. so keep it to yourself. Secular is the only way for equal peace on earth.

[Hunter172]

@MrSaffron999

Just because you don't believe in god, doesn't mean you don't believe there's a reason why we're here.

[ThGirlNextDoor98]

@heetki That's a nice way to put it :) Much nicer than when people say mean things. Especially on the Mary Poppins songs, people like to be mean on those about the pretend character being a devil (which is weird because God says we should be loving...even to people on the internet.)

[pingusmith]

@ThGirlNextDoor98 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahajokezhahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahamaryfuckinpoppuinhaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[ThGirlNextDoor98]

@pingusmith Lolz :) But its TRUE! People will damn her to HELL!!!!!! She's a fictional character that teaches kids to behave (I suppose "Haters gonna hate" but still....)!

[csaltz]

I love the lyrics

[jakarebr]

It's just me or they are like ying yang girls?

[SafiaNolin]

there's no way someone can be as beautiful as these two. they are gorgeous and their music is wonderful, i'm in love.

[lerandalove]

Johanna looks like an older Dakota Fanning

[phoebevaughn]

Like the simplicity and harmonies. Check out Bailey Outerbridge she's also 16

[jerushapim]

love the sound, but not a fan of the lyrics. At least they are singing their opinion beautifully, eh?

[wangsta231]

glad theres still good music out there =)

[EmmaWikkeHornbak]

What a beautiful video, and a beautiful song too. :)

[o0xemas0o]

Faith is not contemptible, but religion is. Don't be dissuaded by it's proponents. Excellent song.

[MegaLillyKitty]

Wow she looks so much like Dakota Fanning! Beautiful though <3

[Kilozro]

What a great song and video! And you girls look so gordgeous too!

[MsNickie92]

not only are they talented but they were born with brains too! GREAT lyrics girls!

[MrEARocks]

Life is beautiful. But hate is ugly.

And contempt for people's religious beliefs is deplorable.

Nice song otherwise.

[musictelevision]

love it :)

[WeAreAllSilly]

They look like Khloe Kardashian

[sth23488]

@WeAreAllSilly Dakota Fanning and Khloe Kardashian LOL

[nationofwealth1]

You girls are truely amazing.  Thank you.

[Ohnonotthisguy]

Very pretty song,

But, coming from a couple of girls who grew up in beautiful Sweden, had plenty to eat, a place to live, and every chance to follow your dreams I can see how this one life is so beautiful to you.

But please, don't go to Uganda and sing this song and preach to them that there is no God, telling them they should just appreciate the life they have and that it's beautiful. I'm not so sure they'll get it.

[LikeOLikeHInYourGut]

@Ohnonotthisguy Let's just fill their head with false hope then. Why don't we go to Uganda and tell them that all the Christians and their capitalist loving ways are the reason they are hungry. Sorry I feel the truth is much better.

[MrHolofoil]

@Ohnonotthisguy So when you write a song, it has to apply to the entire planet, does it?

[etherakasha]

@Ohnonotthisguy

I've been to some very poor parts of the world, and I must say that if anything, it seems the poor are far better attuned to happiness and joy than the richest of us...

[etherakasha]

@Ohnonotthisguy

I've seen some very poor communities, and I must say that the "poor" seem far better attuned to happiness and joy than the wealthiest of us...

[hotgluefingerboard11]

props to the producer. It sounds very warm and full. Great song

[bucheitc]

Fantastic! Out of the mouth of babes, comes the truth. Thank you.

[maggru91]

Ni gör mig stolt att vara Svensk :)

[singingurl261]

gorgeous <3

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

Johanna is nothing less than breathtaking!

[greeninker86]

@purpleytee - I find that many Atheists or Agnostics that I know (including myself) were at one point, Christian. I grew up Christian and practiced devoutly. I have stopped practicing it because it took on a meaning I began to disagree with. But you don't have to be a Christian at any given point in time to truly understand what it means to be one.

[purpleytee]

First Aid Kit is beautiful, I won't deny that.

But what I do hate is what this song has made people do. I mean, look at these comments. It's ridiculous. I agree that we should all be allowed to have different opinions and talk about them with each other but it is never, ever acceptable when you start insulting somebody because of their opinion. Because let's face it, if you're not a Christian, you know next to nothing about what it really means to be one and you shouldn't categorize them all.

[Bryzon82]

@purpleytee Perhaps many non-Christians are former Christians and understand it better than a current practicing Christian. Many people feel that once you understand it, it is impossible to follow.

[indieROXmySOX]

I was going to start of by say that I think this song is awesome. Then I was like "Wow, this video is neat". And then when she sticks her head in @01:34 I was all like "HER EYES ARE GORGEOUS".

Everything about this is wonderful.

[lucasvill31]

You guys are both so beautiful and talented, honestly I would die to play with you. such amazing talent. Love from me.

[pizzaschachtel]

and there is one song

and it's this song

which is beautiful

[misfitmanonadune]

This is indeed an amazing song. I'm an instant fan.

[GoldMastery]

good, first aid kit cheer up!

i recommand summer another song

Mighty Mouse "Fiesta"

[IamMissAlex]

I love these girls, but I wish Johanna got to sing solo more she really does have an amazing voice!

[moach]

Beautiful! glad I found you in this one, beautiful life.

[pizzaschachtel]

when it's late at night and such songs cross my way, I feel so incredibly fulfilled because this kind of music makes it all colourful.

[dookiecheez]

Excellent singing, great lyrics. It makes me happy to see two very talented female singers that aren't selling their body, their expounding truth.

[pdblouin33]

This song should become the new Atheist song. It lays out the Atheist mentality so wonderfully - morality is just human sense to me, as well.

[combsbachmannesque]

I think this video nails the difficulty of human life. We are limited in our time and love isn't a cinch. And, sadly, there are no do-overs.

[jesusgarciab]

Wow... this song surely came from heaven :) lol Loved it!

[GodKillerAtheist]

I like the very cheesy video. The piano scene was the cheesiest. Not my type of music but I agree with the lyrics.

May science bless you lovelies! Peace!

[AcroStigma]

You know, it's an awesome song and you have great voices, but I must say kudos to the production team - beautifully shot and a brilliant video.

[AmericaN8marE]

PZ Myers brought me here!

[Marchawc]

This video is now on PZ Myers' Pharyngula blog.

[mjr256]

@Marchawc

Hope it gets the PZ bump.

[Marchawc]

@mjr256 I'm sure it will. :)

[Jellostix09]

Girls, I accidentally stumbled upon your video earlier and after going through all of your vids, I am breathless! You two are absolutely stunning and blessed with a true gift from God! Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise! Thank you for touching my heart.

[ApollonApostle]

@Jellostix09 Funny you say this about an Atheist song and use the word God.

[Jellostix09]

@ApollonApostle I wasn't thinking of it as an "atheist" song. To me, it's just a beautiful song by two beautiful young ladies and I was expressing my appreciation for it.

[Pigdowndog]

@Jellostix09

"You two are absolutely stunning and blessed with a true gift from God! Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise!"

Yes they are talented but it's sod all to do with a mythical sky fairy. Take your nonsense elsewhere.

[Jellostix09]

@Pigdowndog Really? -_- I'm trying to give them a compliment and you want to turn this into a religious argument? We don't have to agree when it comes to our religious ideologies, but I'm sure we can both agree that they are stunning, and talented, yes? Please leave it at that. And God bless.

"But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use and persecute you." Matthew 5:44

[Marchawc]

@Jellostix09 If you're a "hard believer", you may not agree with their lyrics but it's good that you enjoy the music and wonderful natural talent these girls have.

[Sparklehorse1269]

You made me cry. Thank you.

[barkeg050]

looks a little bit like a horror movie XD but nice song!

[mandolinmountain]

Damn I am glad I stumbled upon this band!

[iamatruthseeker]

i love the chorus. i love these swedish girls! =)

[JuleeMarlii]

what a song ! ♥

[HundparkenSvisse]

crying my eyes out for not finding a reason, i sang along to this song until i started to live. When there is no god in your life, there is music

[pizzaschachtel]

@HundparkenSvisse wow, I think I just became religious then. :) let me greet you from the distance

[Neolimb]

Favorited, liked, and commented.

[froidalo]

looking so beautiful now !

[penguinsReatingmybra]

two teen girls making music as beautiful as this? no wonder they are from Sweden. It would never happen in the US.

[PaoskInauke]

"Now I get it. God is not evil or non-existent. He's just incompetent. " Ghehe =P

[cheongyei]

Cute video. Pretty song, creative set, great work. Just learned of your work today, and I'm already a fan!

Thanks for sharing your gifts, it is so nice to find new works.

[melefic1e]

god they are so young and cute, i just love these girls, oh my what a treat!!!

[kimico98]

i want those boards

[StringMaster94]

that is a good lyric

[kay16789]

Girl PLEASE come to Brisbane, Australia! I would do anything to see you two live :)

[rosesareblue4]

i love this song soooo much i got the lyrics "and it's one life, and it's this life, and it's beautiful." tattooed on my arm! thank you guy so much for making amazing music!

[jagadambarecords]

@rosesareblue4 wow, that's amazing. what an honor!

[pukymcp]

i really hope these two go on to be mega rich , or reach alot of people . any way i really hope they do great things , i would gladly work for them for nothing in order to help them in any way

[moocow693]

0:46

oh my gosh most beautiful eyes ever

[Tuur19]

not only beautiful voices, also very beautiful girls with really pretty faces!

[jimmyfoffa]

I remember when this had 20,000 views..i'm so pumped this has gotten bigger :-)

[Anisizzle]

@jimmyfoffa I'm sure thats thanks to drop dead diva (at least in my case :P)

[Gunnerkelly]

These girls are so wonderful. I heard of them a year ago because of a Fleet Foxes cover they did - amazing how great music leads you to other great music.

[jemappellekait]

i just adore this band

[yellowsparklefish337]

I love all the wonderful comments on this video :) Humans, united :)

[Dancefrea86]

sehr sehr sehr hübsche junge frauen würde sie gern mal kennen lernen

[cambodianthunder]

This songs pretty good i dunno how it got on my zune though :O

[LAVICx]

these girls are just wonderful.

[upmybracket]

The fact I started listening to these because of them doing a cover of a song on youtube made me surprised and not prepared to how brilliant the actually are. Kudos to them.

[katizzleBObizzle]

new favorite song.<3

[palutubevideos]

has "third man records" signed these girls?

[boxanova66]

sucks that one is hot and the other is ulgy as fuck

[Scully987654321]

You Two are the Cats Pajamas!

Serious... Unreal

[levarg91492]

Dude, the girl with bangs looks like an ogre.

[1000yellowcocoons]

next time some dumbass says "so if you're an atheist, where do you get your morals from?" I'm just gonna tell them First Aid Kit.

[aphorg]

Life is hard, and it can be scary to go it alone, but when you recognize that you've only got one chance at it, you take your freedom in your own hands. Knowing this, I cherish every moment I have because the experience of living, with all its ups and downs, is the greatest privilege I could hope for. I love my life because it's the only one I have. And it's beautiful.

[That1DAniGIRL]

u  2 are beautiful

[terrybeaton]

Beautiful music. I hope you have a long and wonderful career ahead. You mentioned in an intervew that you had help from your father at some point. He must be extreamly proud of you. I especially love the Ghost Town video. I get chills every time the first chorus comes in. Brilliant use of music and video. The whole video is a thing of beauty. Viva First Aid Kit. xoxoxo!

[boqvai]

great song, it reminds me P.J. Harvey

[EricasMaximas]

Amanda Please

[Perlamaadrid]

Beautiful! I love it girls ♥,♥

[jaytube227]

you guys kick ass!

[gabifeliz]

LOOOOOOVE IT.

[shovalG100]

and it's one life and its this life and its beautiful

[squash1966]

awesome.... simply great ..... good on the ears and great on the soul.... First Aid kit is simply the foundation and unprovoked sound of what good heartfelt music is about. you are both so talented. Thank you .. Joshua Hyde

[xTHHxAimiForevr]

Saying they're hot would be an insult. Beautiful or gorgeous would best summarize them.

[clockwork2345]

@divinagoettel22 Wow...that was fucking stupid. Even for a youtube comment.

[arosmith2006]

How did she shove that uke through those holes?

Awww, you guys are soo crafty! :D

[kittybethunenorman]

@divinagoettel22 I don't think that that is a very necessary comment to make. Music is music. I went to a Johnny Flynn gig once and ended up bumping into him...if my sister hadn't been there to point out it was him I wouldn't have had a clue because I was in love with his voice and music, and had never even seen what he actually looked like. Happily surprised I must say!

[remoteoutofcontrol]

Great song but the video was stupid.

[Advalier]

from 2:55 they are amazing

[rosestainedglass]

She has the loveliest eyes I have ever seen. Blue eyes are so overrated. A pretty set of green eyes is simply pure magic.
