You're the Storm- The Cardigans

[Thereisonlythemoment]

Amazing use of language and imagery. Using the horror of War to describe the beauty and passion of Love. Adore this song.

[MaluCasas85]

♪♫ I'm an angel bored like hell

and you're a devil meaning well

you steal my lines and you strike me down

come raise your flag upon me

and if you want me I'm your country

if you win me I'm forever ♪♫♪

[mocinho04]

america can never make such songs

[anarchykid2688]

the guitar ? its a 12 string there's a cream one if u search up guitar types on wikipedia :) if thats any help

[PookieWinslow]

Can someone please tell me what instrument is playing during 3:04 through 3:20. It would be MUCH APPRECIATED! <3

[SalazarK33]

After some seconds, i thought i had messages on my iphone..

[TheAlinaLopez]

I like this group and song. Very nice. :)

[Kylatw]

0:48  WTF~~~~~!!??!!??

[stillilllife]

@Kylatw What do you mean?

[Kylatw]

@stillilllife There is a man behind that stone....

[Dgouth]

I watched this clip only once on MTV on the death of my grandmother. I began to see shortly after the start, but I saw the name and never saw the clip. Whenever I remember the death of my grandmother, I remember him and became a legend to me. It took eight years, until now, to discover it ... At the time did not understand much English and only remember the melody and a woman among the dunes. I did not know was in a band so famous. I will never forget!!!

[pilipinas]

@royrichardsify oh you did, didn't you? you can't even spell her name right. lol

[mireiification]

@royrichardsify ...you 'fucked' her and she was 'in love'. wow!! whatta man you must be, huh?! almost feel sorry for you. she's still what she is, and you are just a nickname at youtube. hella good. :))

[stellwind]

@royrichardsify you're a dreamer, like john lennon in image ;)

[MissPulsar86]

beautiful song

[MrRobynLover]

also in my all time Top 5 songs...gorgeous just sublime!

[iampunitan]

a truly beautiful voice and song - one day i'll find that cunt tree - here in england it's called the fanny oak.. god bless the cardigans for some of the best 90s summer sounds

[djfakt]

Damn! I never thought that the lead singer was that hot but, WOW, she looks FINE in this...

[0100964006]

odd qeaustion

[VeryHime]

[andrea111292]

Watch in HD watch?v=mTvLuyQZX7M

[petereuropa]

Please return to the studio Cardigans. We need some new fresh music. Please.

[hamleggy]

her voice reminds me of Belinda Carlisle

[lykkelig10]

beautiful lyrics!!

[MrsWinter052210]

My husband (boyfriend at the time) introduced me to the cardigans, after a tornado took us from our home, and almost ruined our relationship (because I developed irrational fears) this song helped me out SO much. I would listen to it and realize that my love for my husband was GREATER THAN THE FEAR OF ANY STORM. He is my storm, and I am his country! =] <3 this song, changed my life!

[khalbahalofa]

@MrsWinter052210 I have almost the same story about this song."I´m an angel bored like hell, and your a devil mening well" "I need some wind to get me sailing" (my husband)" " 'Cus your the storm i'll be leading" (He really is a STORM, that needs some guidens.

[pilipinas]

@MrsWinter052210 awww... bless you and your husband. i'm glad the cardigans helped you somehow.

[MrsWinter052210]

@pilipinas feathers and down is a very key song to our relationship too, there are many! I just love the cardigans... <3

[luchoreyessau]

@MrsWinter052210 Veeeery nice thougths, your aren´t the storm, you´re the most funny, happy, and wise person on this wall!!!

[kaari1]

Love it!!! If you like this check out danish act INOUWEE with the song "In every mirror"

[OrlandogPsy]

Im finally home after work and the first thing I do is play this track in max volume!!!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

[Qnigz]

am I the only one who thinks she looked waaaay cuter with blond hair?

[unionofonion]

@Qnigz No, you're not. I don't like her with dark hair. I remember her with blonde hair and blonde hair she should have.

[MultiTitanica]

She is so beautiful with the dark hair!

[DrErkencho]

She has the sweetest smile.

[raziel08leonhart]

Are you fuckin kidding me ? This song is not but war! Is about love! #LOL

[JohnQRandom]

@raziel08leonhart

This song is about me, and my big... feet.

[SillySantaHat]

Imperialism, hooray!!!

[jasmina1705]

simply perfect! one of the greatest bends ever.. great music! greetings from croatia :)

[glamorre24]

nice pilipinas upload this video really i like this song

[Galant2500v6]

Simply amazing!

[Thatwasthesummerofsv]

Reply to Pometheus1st - I'm not sure what planet you're on but I think you're totally over reacting. As for 'I am ashamed for liking this band after hearing this song' well my friend, you clearly left your heart in the same place as your brain. Clearly, you are being deliberately obtuse.

[Lariov]

I just love this band!! One of the best european bands!!!

[radoomiron93]

@Lariov dude, this isn't actually about countries and wars. it's a metaphor for sex

[Prometheus1st]

I don't like this song. I love the band, but this song is thumbing it's nose at serious issues. I'd like to know if the singer lost a child to war, would she so cavalierly sing such lyrics.

I think not. Don't respond by telling me I am overreacting to the song, because songs take a LOT of planning and forethought...so I am sure all of the potential ramifications were known beforehand.

This is simply POOR TASTE.

I am ashamed for liking this band after hearing this song.

[FataVerde055]

@Prometheus1st It's poetry. Don't take the lyrics literally. And brighten up.

[rektangeldisco]

@Prometheus1st even if it was a song about "serious issues", so what? should we not write about topics that actually concern people?

[farj227]

@Prometheus1st

I do understand how you feel, but this song is not about war, listen to it again. Its metaphors.

your the storm i believe in...she sings about a man.

its about seducing, kinda sexual or more so romance sort of thing. Dont take the text literal, its not many bands who would write songs gloryfying wars, least of all cardigans.

Think about what i said and listen to it again, i think you will see it

[Prometheus1st]

@farj227 I hear you and I believe you believe what you say is true.

But I am a soldier, and my perspective makes me see things through a different lens. I am sorry if I offended anyone, but I believe what I believe...viewing reality through 'my' lens.

[farj227]

@Prometheus1st :-) nah you dont offend anyone, everyone has the right to feel and think as they wish,.

[Prometheus1st]

@farj227 Thank you very much for that. I love this band...have listened raptly for years. But I disagreed with the interpretation of the lyrics for this song.

Thank you for the understanding.

[unionofonion]

@Prometheus1st All you needed to say is that you view things based on your opinion, instead of putting unnecessary information on it.

You're a soldier, you know that unnecessary details are always non-needed.

I come from a family of military purpose, You and I both know this.

[oledag3]

I adore this song!

[Monozero10]

I would do beautiful things to her voice.

[emwahstunnerfield]

Jag älskar den här

[fire12321]

This perfectly describes so many relationships

[Kutjin]

Nina is more beautiful in real life than in this video.

[masalika]

did you see the ghost that appears at 0:49 ?

[eestlanedutrukilma]

@masalika i did o.o

[Hamodyxxx0]

@masalika it's not a ghost, it's satan

[Hamodyxxx0]

75 people have no country or origins

[FSB626]

умеют играть!!! молодцы молдоване!

[unadecincuenta]

This song is just... wonderful *_*

Love the lyrics!

[pjlk00]

@FoxIslandman nina is THE babe. period.

[Thatwasthesummerofsv]

One of the most beautiful and most under rated songs of all time. Haunting.

[Ambiduros]

Its the devil at 0:49 (she says devil, it pops out...)

[btytrthfrdmlv]

That guitair player looks like Lagos From Lord Of the Rings

[ClansmanKerr]

I truly think she's one of the best female voices of all time. It's just sad The Cardigans didn't have any songs to match her voice. I could listen to her singing all day.

[Edwardo83]

@ClansmanKerr

listen to first A Camp album :)

[reindeballe]

with this look she is looking wery nice :).and the song is also good ,so relaxing

[fahim113]

I like hardcore punk, speed metal, black metal....but something about the melody in this song gets me everytime :D

[stikyspit]

i liked it better when you were your self. don't be someone your not ... dress like your self and include your band in shots or you will end up like "no doubt"

[MortenBoHansen]

she went totally PJ Harvey.. i like that xD, this i think is just a great tune..reminds you of life:)

[marcelosenra]

hey man listen watch?v=hgkia1OX8Eo

[revereuse]

The sweetest song ever!!!

[mahoyo]

What the hell was that behind her at 0:49?

[26bagel]

@mahoyo I saw it to :-/ that scared the shiz out of me! so creepy! what is it?

[JoMenz329]

@26bagel i thought i was the only one who is seeing that creepy thing! lol

[neko691]

@mahoyo Paranormal activity prologue :)

[TheCiubz]

@mahoyo a ghost?

[ylene10]

I'll be your country Kelly, if you want me, invade me...

[basehead617]

beautifully written/performed song, but there's always something weird about non-native speakers writing english lyrics... 'you're the storm that i believe in'? what? - mmmm, non-idiomatic idioms.

[slipse2]

@basehead617 ' cause you're the storm that I've been needing

This makes perfectly sence to me... but of course i'm no native english speaking either....

[mats0916]

I'm an angel bored like hell. And you're a devil meaning well...

[Cheberlo77]

Cardigans!

[Kidorid]

I'd invade her country.

[fatfrankblack]

@Kidorid roflmao, as I think they put it nowadays

[Edwardo83]

@Kidorid she is HOT isnt she :)

[Hamodyxxx0]

@Edwardo83 yes she is hot :) i'd marry her

[calantlor]

@Kidorid I KNEW IT RUSSIA IS INVADING SWEDEN OMG OMG OMG OMG XD

[trainsomnia]

I want a storm

[yuna0890]

Great lyrics great song

[Thereisonlythemoment]

Wonderful use of language - using war, conflict and the act of conquest to convey love and passion. Great Song.

[railertoros]

Find a ukulele tuner pipe. Blow the 3rd and 4th(E & A) I think this song came up like this.

[kaari1]

brilliant song! check out danish band Inouwee with the song "in every mirror" If u like this.

[fatfrankblack]

she's something else

[FairladyS130]

The Cardigans, nearly as good as ABBA :-)

[BohemianConspiracy]

@FairladyS130 yeah that's right ...nearly... ABBA is iconic pop...virutally untoucheable...they made too much good stuff in a very short time (one album every year ...it was not a rarity in the 70s!) ...unfortunately the cardigans are not chicken as productive... but they are probably the 2nd best Swedish band... there's some other serious contenders...like the Hives...the Hellacopters...or the Soundtrack of our Lives... and probably a few others (some younger) that i forget at the moment

[IrisElizabethWeller]

This song kills me like nothing else. I'm getting the lyrics tattooed.

[blablaidiotbla]

what a shitty song

[pablorubiolugo]

One of my favorite bans of all time, love their songs

[SadLight]

:) I LOVE FOREVER THE CARDIGANS, BEST SONG EVERRR!!!!!!!!!!

[joanofarcxxi]

Portugues stolthet . But I love this song, for sure.

[candydash]

Svensk stolthet - Swedish pride. God, I love this band. <3

[SillySantaHat]

@candydash OPETH!!!!!!!!!!



[CTPAXRU]

@candydash Sweden has more artists to be proud of than any other country :)

[unionofonion]

@CTPAXRU Really? because italy had some artists that created inventions and ideas that re-shaped the modern world.

Sounds like to me like the ramblings of an idiotic fanboy, drooling over the idea of trying to piss people off with his faggot swedish pride bullshit.

[CTPAXRU]

@unionofonion Hey hey boy, calm down a little! It's not about Vivaldi or Verdi, it's about yesterday! Check #wiki Swedish_music to look what I'm talking about, and wash you dirty mouth out!

[unionofonion]

@candydash I wouldn't be proud about belonging to a country, where it's illegal to kill an Arab, Turk or a Hindu but it's perfectly legal for them to kill you and get away with it.

Plus, I knew some one once named zani that was a swede. That guy was a piece of shit, I later realized this. Must just be a, "swede" thing to act like you have a stick rammed up your ass and egotistical.

[candydash]

@unionofonion Way to drag everyone over the same edge. Congratulations, buddy. You're probably one of the most close minded and negative persons I've 'met' on the internet.

And Zani, whoever he is, has nothing to do with this song, so keep the bullcrap to yourself, yeah? Yeah, cool, thanks.

[torojulli]

@candydash As a Finn I have to agree with you.

[Missdelilah1984]

I'm so fond of this song!

[tottn85]

Cool, when it first comes inside your head, it sticks there forever <3

[romeoon7]

my first CD of my life was gran turismo of the cardigans, listen to this band makes me feel very nice, remember my friends when i was a kid, and a tear is almost fallin in my eye

[caedmeto]

The song, the video & Nina are amaizing... So powerful & deep... I'm in love Nina =)

[caedmeto]

I know, I know... Nathan larson is a very lucky guy

[Tekkk800]

At 0:48 you will se a ghost popping out behind one of the cars.

[beerbrain420]

Here in the USA, The Cardigans may be the most overlooked pop sensation EVER. After their solitary "Lovefool" hit here, they sadly fell off the radar on US pop charts. What a shame, for they had SO many great songs after Lovefool, probably better than it in fact.

[vampyre4208]

Stunning beauty, i love her smile. great music.

[InterBrian]

COOL!!!!!

[jameswest111111]

@vivavoce83 lynne, i have never been anything other than happy for you, please always know that, ok? Take care always too. :) xoxo Jeff

sorry i didn't post this in French. it was important and i didn't want google translator to mess it up!! :))

[Uttelito]

Is it just me or is she sining "your the storm im bleeding" ? i know it should be "your the storm i belive in" still, sounds wierd.

[hommoomm]

[TheTaMatias]

Absolutely amazing song.

[YrSnow]

Anyone know how they strum that Em11 (I think thats the chord they are using)?

[kommaV1023]

"Come and conquer, drop your bombs

Cross my borders and kill the calm;

Bear your fangs and burn my wings

I hear bullets singing..."

[salmontrance]

she is like swan :D

[74Charm]

I love this song with a big <3

[amoramorena]

The soundtrack of this moment!

[SadLight]

beautifullllllllllllllll

[ScottishArtFan]

Amazing use of language, using the horrific image of war, invasion  and destruction to portray something as beautiful as love and desire. Wonderful song and great video too.

[helloxbrightxeyes]

urgh. i'm addicted to this song...i just cannot stop listening!

[Thirdman11]

Miss them... They Ruleeee!!!

[Janco6]

The most underrated band on the planet.

Оч хорошая песня!!!!!!

I’m an angel bored like hell, and you’re a devil meaning well.. Bear your fangs and burn my wings.. I need some wind to get me sailing.. So it’s the storm that I believe in.. WamPolska; you have my heart...
