First Aid Kit - The Lion's Roar

[iRobii]

I never got national pride. How can you take pride in some else achievement? All it creates is greed and separates two people with different pride.

Be proud with what YOU achieve, and not in some singer with the same heritage as you.

[HorseRider1496]

I think i'm in love <3

[jeffheartscod]

These beautiful and talented young ladies make me take even more pride in my Swedish heritage! Great stuff

[xxChesterfieldxx]

so...perfect...



[stevedeemetal]

Absolutely amazing, been looking for something like this for years. Eisley filled my void until i found you. Day-O

[TheAlphawolfgirl]

only 1 word: WOW

[ShadowontheWall11]

what does the bird in the suitcase supposed to mean?

[MrCryptic55]

Does this remind anyone else of townes van zandt?

[miketransposed]

@MrCryptic55 Yes it does, quite a bit actually.

[MrCryptic55]

@miketransposed specifically the song "Marie". almost the same melody. love it thought. not taking away from first aid kit's originality

[2410em]

Love it!!

[FlorenceFan533]

Yeeeeeeeah I'm a little obsessed.

[MYMICHELLE70]

and every once in a while I'd sing a song for you...



[HelloxWorldx]

These girls are so cool! I love Wolf the best, but this song is awesome as well.

[Torvenyt]

Just have to put this here

I took an arrow to the knee but then i found a first aid kit!

Awesome music thou!

[MrToyFrisbee]

I give it another week and this song will be over one million views.

[MsLizardLicker]

1st minute of song: 'ehh... this is okay.. I've heard better.'

1:30 seconds into song: 'actually... it's quite good..'

2 minutes in: 'I love this song!"

[machinesbreathe]

This shit is total dopeness!!!

That's a good thing! Sold!

[Michaeloxenstierna]

Of course sweden is HUGELY influenced by anglo-american culture. We are just playing your own culture back to you, flavoured by our own.

That is how the globalization works, I guess - Cross-country music.

[miraozil]

MOA !

[EnheduannaDFTBA]

To everyone who says the best music comes out of sweden...not disagreeing, but First Aid Kit is extremely influenced by American Folk music. I mean, you would have no idea they were Swedish just by listening to them.

[moflkb]

@EnheduannaDFTBA Well Enmenanna thinks otherwise. The Stockholmian dialect is there. Another thing, American Folk would not exist without Sweden. All of the modern world comes from the Nordic Bronze Age culture. So American Folk is of course Swedish ;)

[Warlube]

@moflkb That's the dumbest shit I've ever read.

[moflkb]

@Warlube :) Don't be so serious. It was just a natural development stemming from the fact that someone named Enheduanna wrote. And if you don't know anything about the culture or the origins of the English, well, of course it sounds idiotical. In any case, there's a little of everything in this song. Some vowels feel Swedish, some of it is almost as if a band like Skyforger could have written it, and naturally there's a lot of America in it. All in all, it is a very good song.

[MarkSP2]

@EnheduannaDFTBA You can hear Scandinavian influences.

[davidelm1]

@MarkSP2 No kidding ,can it be cause there <swedish

[TinyArts]

@EnheduannaDFTBA and american folk music is a mixture of influences from all the early immigrants from Europe. Swedes, Irish, English, Germans etc.

[Publicservis]

this gotta be the best song of all times all categories

[pianoforte1776]

the end - dancing in the black capes makes me think ozzy lol! nice song.

[livefornow2009]

Fantastic!!!!

[3waybar]

anyone tried to spank their monkey to this ?

[marybortoletti]

All time of song, i remember of Game of Thrones...

[TheTourlous]

just heard this on a Vermont radio station on my way to MOntreal, lucky I cought the title. I though it was an old 60's song!!!

[TwiggyShip]

Awesome.

[I8RICKROLLERS]

Thank you Conor Oberst!!!

[OmnisOrtus]

i heard this on a college radio station and didnt expect it to be so mainstream with the whole vevo thing, guess pop is getting better, Alot better

[TheSwagginMagikarps]

@OmnisOrtus Thank god damn

[slarnjasle]

eargasm

[angelwaksoverme]

I´m so proud of being swedish when I hear this.

[livefornow2009]

@angelwaksoverme Jag med!! Har börjat komma mer och mer svensk musik att vara stolt över.

[ugottaluvbubbless]

this is awesome.

[1946mario1]

schietteza popolare della gioventu' per le 2 sorelle svedesi-

verryyy best- song contry

[Iloovecereal]

Instantly fell in love with this song.

[MrRazorblade999]

They should do an album with murder ballads.

[bohemian46]

Thanks.. great stuff !

[akanequeen]

sverige <3

[dethbymagix51]

I don't listen to this kind of music at all; I'm into heavy metal and hard rock. When I listened to this, I immediately fell in love with this song, and more on the album. Awesome music that I was glad to hear.

[cwerings]

@dethbymagix51 yeah me too i walked into a music store and this was on and i fell in love

[rikhmanrashidi]

The kardashians!

[notnicolajames]

This is the best song on their new album. I wrote a review of each and every song here:

h t t p : / / notnicolajames . wordpress . com

[wukenny62]

God, always Sweden that has the good music... Lykke Li, Robyn, The Knife, etc. and now this. And best of all, it's the mainstream in Sweden. Who wants to move there with me?

[BeierAnton]

@wukenny62 Denmark is better! : )



[ricke31]

@BeierAnton But sweden has better music! ABBA, Lars Winnerbäck, Robyn etc. But Denmark is a beautiful country and I often travel to Denmark :)

[MultiMooomooo]

@wukenny62 i live in sweden! :) ist funny though, we don't think we have good music from here :P

[dasneit]

@MultiMooomooo Tycker du generaliserar lite mycket nu.. :)

[kelisabethyusi]

Yes, this is very nice new music...pleased.

[379buzz]

All I can say is WOW!

[JohnCrow6666]

These girls are great

Love this song. Dont know if anyone else thinks this, but sounds like it could have been written bt Townes Van Zant

[desiree282]

this is my FAVORITE song from First Aid Kit hands down.

cant get enough! :)

[Kuspetaren]

Imagine how big they would become if both were cute.

[MrRazorblade999]

@Kuspetaren lol I was just thinking the same.

[JackSkylightFLASH]

@Kuspetaren Are you blind? They are very cute, and not only that, they are unique.

A immense talent.

[Kuspetaren]

@JackSkylightFLASH One is. Both have amazing talent though. My comment was meant as a critizism to capitalism.

[yay4shanghai]

@JackSkylightFLASH could not agree with you more. They are endearing and obviously talented.

[JagheterHedda]

I had never heard of First Aid Kit until now, and I'm swedish.

[javavan100]

@JagheterHedda Inte så förvånande faktiskt xD

[xRedheadgirl]

"and i'm a goddamn coward, but then again so are you."

[AnnaKatAllam]

love the song but not getting the video :P

[delaineyyyy]

they should find a way to incorporate this into the hunger games movie.

[kiss9hug]

@delaineyyyy oh i love you for referencing the hunger games!

[delaineyyyy]

@kiss9hug it really would fit into the movie so well! more people like my comment VV maybe the hunger games producers will listen! :)

[notblondeswede]

@delaineyyyy So true!

[WhatWouldKarlaSay]

I love their music videos. super artsy. 

[1blackto]

me encanta esta cancion!

siempre me a gustado <3

Es hermosa:)

[issydavies1]

@1blackto Estoy de acuerdo! :)

[shemhazai485]

this is one of the most beautiful things ive ever heard.

[chrsylvest]

I was searching YouTube because I needed to know something about first aid kits, but then I found this instead... I'm sure whatever was wrong with me before isn't that matter anymore.

[ALittleOpera]

66 people are goddamn fools.

[esme66]

i thought i heared teagan and sarah but it turned out to be them srry for thinking that.. this is seriously awesome

[thekicki98]

what if I had never watched the news, I would never have known about them <3 i cant stop listen to them <3<3 i just LOVE them

[jengagem]

i love first aid kit

xoxo

[wideopenwindow]

Awesome.

[serondipity]

Hmmm. 1.16 min. :-)

[TheTayloreaw]

absolutely cracking band...God bless Youtube



[BohemianConspiracy]

They are dressed as hippies....but unfortunatly...I' m not even sure that they smoked weed before film this...

I've read that in most movies between the end of the 60s and the end of the 70s...they were always many people smoking weed (i mean while production of the movie)...very often it included directors and main actors... this tradition is a bit lost since more than 30 years now... they really should try it again

You're a total hippie or you're not... R they ready to pass the acid test ?

[larseparsje1]

@BohemianConspiracy

smoking weed does not mean you are an hippie.

an beeing an hippie does not mean you have to smoke weed.

[BohemianConspiracy]

@larseparsje1 ...i know this ...but at least it's better to try it once...

I mean if you are not curious enough to make some basic experiences...it's not really an hippie attitude...it's a question of discoveries...this was in the DNA of the youth 40 years ago ...but this not means to try "everything" ...

The sensibilities are often a lil bit different when weed is involved than when weed is not...

But whatever... everybody do what he wants to do... I'm rarely a smoker (as some may think...)

[neochase1]

good lord, this is one of those songs that just stops you in your tracks and makes you sit down and listen in awe. It was one of those moments. amazing amazing amazing!

[mickram23]

These girls just get better and better! I'm gutted I missed them last year in Manchester because I'm sure they're amazing live.

[paintballmon135]

Their voices are so beautifully similar, they almost intertwine with each other when they both sing. A truly talented group.

[Atmosphereification]

Great song!

[Foxes4Portions]

So beautifully sung.

[Tuttyb1]

beautiful!

[FrauRosa]

is there a bird in the brief case?

[sebbe91]

66 people are god damn cowards

[quarrybank]

Outstanding song. First classic of 2012.

[rdcwilson]

Am I the only one that thinks the sisters are beautiful? O_o Especially Johanna!

[paintballmon135]

@rdcwilson They're beautiful in the old fashioned way of beautiful. They don't really catch your eye at first, but the more you look at them the more beautiful they get.

[rdcwilson]

@paintballmon135 agreed :)

[Sjinobi]

@paintballmon135 nah they are just not beautifull at all imo

[kermicheo]

@rdcwilson personally, I prefer klara because she has a more colorful personality and she doesn't look anorexic. plus she is really cute. if not more than johanna.

[SLAYYOUALLTHEWAY]

beautiful



[SooGnarProdutions]

hippys + lord of the rings = this video

[rdcwilson]

@SooGnarProdutions hahahahaha! :)

[earthglamgrunge]

@SooGnarProdutions right?! so crazy

[MissMaddieBear]

A funeral dirge seems an appropriate end for the death of a love. Goodbye, Jake.

[luvcharlenelicious]

Awesome,I luv enchanted forest:)I see the toll bridge o.O

[lotusflower281]

I actually assumed they were American because of the folk-country sound and their voices but now I know they're actually Swedish, which makes them even more interesting to me.

[OliviaOfSweden]

@lotusflower281 Go sweden!!

[larseparsje1]

@lotusflower281 folk is related to the keltics and they are very european!

[lotusflower281]

@larseparsje1 Oh wow I didn't know folk was related to the Celtics...that's awesome. But I did know the Celts are European :)

[casbah1982]

@lotusflower281 the best music comes out of Sweden; it's a proven fact! America is force fed rap and pop music. America has not had an even remotely interesting music scene for 20 years when grunge was big.

[shelbyac57]

WOW !!!!

[bambixmusic55]

I've recently become obsessed with these girls. They're songs remind me of home :')

[pannekoeken2]

a 30 sec commercial unable to skip... youtube has become commercial-hell



[ACDC920605]

@pannekoeken2 firefox adblock pro :) Completely free and works

[sebbe91]

@pannekoeken2 use Ad-block Plus (it works in Firefox)

[321rebelman]

@pannekoeken2 just get adblock

[Jellybeanzz26]

I saw them perform this song live and they started head banging with their hair flying everywhere ..it was awesome!!

[majka5868]

Oh god, they're awesome

[kajii3]

Do they live in Narnia? O____O Beatiful song though!

[EnviousElk]

Forget Mumford and Sons. First Aid Kit and Fleet Foxes would be a much better combination in my opinion. :)

[ashlmull]

@EnviousElk  First Aid Kit and Fleet Foxes already perform together.

[EnviousElk]

@ashlmull But they haven't collaborated on any songs before, have they?

[thommytaranto]

Very cool, Dylan influenced.

[TheEightDaysAWeek]

Florence + The First Aid Kits......PERFECTO

[princevolavet]

why only 333,775? don't youtube know the wrong views may give wrong choice? :p

[musiclover2161]

@princevolavet its not even been on youtube for amonth. thats pretty good views for a band. 

[reedlisak]

They are really very good. Sound like old folk singers.

[TintinNewsboy95]

WOW

[BriSiddle]

wow this is so amazing but why only 333775 views?

[1emotionalsunshine]

I know your gonna love this one Ash Wednesday.

[Livi195]

63 people are god damn cowards

[EpicRyaan]

omg loool i feel loved for being the top comment.

[1Burninhouse1]

"I'm a god damn coward, but then again so are you" awesome line!!

[wembz]

Does anyone know the meaning of the song ?? please :)

[12lmeganl12]

@Kaelinn7 no.

[AngelnamedSona]

oh I never heard of them.. what a beautiful video! like like like :)

[erendirapples]

so what was in the suit case?

[04sw]

@erendirapples I think it's the lion's roar

[Italymilaanparis]

This song has no meaning to me but she has a good strong voice so its ok and plz dont be upset about my post coodhoose

[justine10191]

Nice voice......cool band

[Solarissis]

This video reminds me of the movie "King Arthur" with Clive Owen and Keira Knightley. 

[shestherealJB]

I love the sounds of their vocies :)

[isabella4979]

the first singeris way ugly but she got a good voice thats all sryy lmfo

[chaseforthesun]

@isabella4979 I hope you have better things to judge then appearance. She was showing her voice to you. If she wanted you to see her looks she would have modeled.

[paintballmon135]

@isabella4979 superficial bitch.

[sparkle22595]

i love this song (:

[dblubarry]

this looks like a scene out of true blood

[dinoelin]

SWEDEN REPRESENTIN

[1Burninhouse1]

nice to hear a song that isn't about partying and alcohol.

[TheMiracleToday]

Okay I never heard of them before, but when I saw this video and listened to their song, I just knew that they were from Sweden...LOL!

[EpicRyaan]

First Aid Kit & Mumford and Sons need to make a song together.. maybe even an album.

[Thomashed15]

@EpicRyaan OMG you're right, both their music is amazing!

[ljonesvc]

@EpicRyaan You are a good idea person and I would like to hear more of your ideas for things.

[EpicRyaan]

@ljonesvc why thank you!

[aprilshowers451]

@EpicRyaan I was just thinking that (:

[LadyMarisa50]

@EpicRyaan Also reminds me of Florence + The Machine

[EpicRyaan]

@LadyMarisa50 that'd be amazing!

[blutanz]

@EpicRyaan they should do it with Laura Marling too! <3
