Fever Ray's "Mercy Street"

[rooshko]

if i had to choose one song to grasp it all.. this is it.



[DivineVevo666]

I'm sorry but i can't find this beautiful, i don't like the song its so boring can't listen to it more than 10 secs.

[eloisealice]

I like it, but Peter Gabriel is more, more better and impressive !!!!

[sirGiedion]

@eloisealice Possibly 'more better' only because he originally conceived it. But I have to say this version is simply brilliant and original in its own right.

[sirGiedion]

@eloisealice I should make a small correction and remove the word 'only' because I have to admit there are other reasons why to prefer the original.. I do love Peter's music and there's always a lot of feeling and sincerity in whatever he creates. It's just equally nice to me to hear a new spin on a classic song.

[TinakiAcpruku]

This song is sooo fucking sexyy.

[dzajarocker]

I love to listen Fever Ray,especially while reading a book.Thanks for uploading this awesome song!

[waffleunicorncat420]

fell in love with her voice and music ^---------^

[rooshko]

this makes me want to buy new headphones

[lutalica01]

The version with Peter Gabriel, which is I believe original, is much better to me and more expressive.

[Almiretheria97]

Fever Ray's.... *-*

[SonOfLancereto68]

Anyone else hear the same tempo throughout this song as Sprawl II (Mountains upon mountains) by Arcade Fire? Someone should do a mashup. Just a thought. Great cover of Peter Gabriel's classic! What is this singer's connection to Royksopp, if there is one?

[Saintarz2]

I must say that everything this women creates sounds fresh and pretty unique for me.

@SonOfLancereto68

Fever Ray (Karin Dreijer Andersson) supplied vocals on the track "What Else Is There?" on the album The Understanding. She also provided vocals for "This Must Be It" and "Tricky Tricky" on the album "Junior". Both albums by Röyksopp

For dEUS she provided vocals on the "Slow" track on the album Vantage Point.

[SonOfLancereto68]

@sleahcim Thank you for providing that previously unknown information. She has an amazing voice that fits in well with the melancholic lyrics in her music. I also enjoy 'Keep the streets empty for me'. I look forward to listening to her tracks on 'Junior'. Thanks!!!

[CG4L]

@SonOfLancereto68 yep, if I think about it I def can hear the same tempo and that underlying hum

[piuhmatrix]

jajaja hummmmmmmm

[klausjuergen]

When I heard this I just though: "A collab of Fever Ray and Abney Park would be absolutely epic!"

[nhspottedleaf]

Just thought I would mention that this is actually a cover of a song by Peter Gabriel... it's not an original of this band.

[80glasstiger]

no shit buddy!

[TheLupa13]

This song's great. Fever Ray sound a bit like an Electro version of 'Clannad'.

[OriginStudioFilms]

If I could turn it off I would, but I like it too much.....So I wont

[victoriaabdilla]

[culasss]

[ChronosCatharsis]

The song reminds me of daybreak after a heavy rain - with all its fog still hanging in the air and only a handful people walking down the pavements.
