[IlkeaPikkuMyy]

This song, to me, is modern yet it reminds me of a stormy fall night in the 1800's. Fucked up, I love it!

[Eurannmmiel14]

[nickleus1977]

04:31 sigil on the left is for Lucifer. the 8 pointed star on the right is Chaosphere, from chaos magick. the one right above the artist's head on the right is the Unicursal Hexagram from thelema magick. wow, i've actually been able to put to use my years studying the occult =)

[nickleus1977]

@nickleus1977 and the symbol on the bottom left is the Valknut =)

[ZZLe4Ni]

[Ynneii]

[KingSparkys]

Listen to this LOUD, and close your eyes..... Feels like your in Space!!

[louner]

The realness of true artistic sound wave combinations that have something otherworldly to provide to more than just the eardrum. Genius creation.

[MohadibTheHorrible]

@louner it is some good shit! no doubt

[louner]

WOW. Chills EVERY time. Unbelievable... You can just feel the realness.

[MohadibTheHorrible]

[0peixinho0]

[emilyjustlarsen]

EARGASM.. nothing more

[honkyzilla]

yall r gay this song is obviously about clubbing

[AHyde12194]

When I hear this song, I think of a female skeleton attached to the mast of some ship in Hell that sings this song as it carries me and a hundred others on a warship to the other side of a foggy peninsula for battle.

[AgalinSane]

@AHyde12194 I think something quite similar to this as well.

[kirbehxdha]

@AHyde12194

Fuck yes.

[scullyy]

@AHyde12194 That's very specific.

[KAZANTIP440]

@scullyy 

[rosztun]

Oh god, i'd give 2 fingers and a kidney just to see them live!

[byrnecobain]

Does this remind anyone else of the video Joy Division performing Shadowplay on TV?

[byrnecobain]

Does this remind anyone else of the video of Joy Division playing Shadowplay on TV

[PFCbouchard2251]

please, Knife, please... i beg you: come to Montreal, Canada and thaw my wintered corpse

[LorenzBaermann]

Just Fantastic.

[maxxo]

i would have loved to see people's faces when leaving the venue after this show... mindblowing stuff

[gzussturbo]

@maxxo You wouldn't be able to see the audience's faces through all the residual radiant light from the music pasted on their skin

[Garfunkymunky]

Agreed

[kenpea1]

this is just fucking amazing makes you go out of space truly awesome makes me shiver

[kenpea1]

this is just fucking amazing makes you go out of space truly awesome makes me shiver

[TreeckoJedi9]

I...Love....THE KNIFE

[StAngersucks]

fint

[rooshko]

makes me feel blessed to be alive to witness this..

[MrTommymmoT]

Wow. I want to see it live!!!

[betweenthedayband]

I like it! Not really into electronic sounding music, but this is pretty awesome! I like the oriental melody during the chorus.

[amArant123]

3:45 is where the fun really starts :) but the whole song is amazing

[redcommando1]

This song needs patience, this song deserves it.

[shutupcaf]

can't describe the goosebumps i get when the bass kicks in!

[pirhana37]

I can hear it, calling in the air tonight. oh lord.

[meyaylol]

13 people have no music taste

[rickerson81]

If they ever make a Blade Runner 2, they should have this as a cyborg Geisha song...

[STRANGELOVE1013]

@rickerson81 Nice thought, u are right, its sound really match to Blade Runner's visual world.

[mygrisgris]

@STRANGELOVE1013

That's an interesting observation. I wouldn't agree; I'd say the whole noir and dreamscape theme is a general archetype in film and imagery and The Knife and Andreas Nillsson happened to do a superb job here.

[kaycaphono]

this song was my intro for my unforgettable b-day bash in 2008. love it

[hcfhfgjgjg]

doomed and powerfull

[klema86]

puff PERO Q DELEITE !!! B) hacen lo q SIENTEN!

[shinyeyedwomyn]

AMAZING

[InnarVen]

"We turn the other cheek and we win"

And then he thinks about what he has been told from the "good guys" that he killed.

That some guy named Jesus told them that God told him that the only way for them to have a good life after death was to give the other cheek.

But the pirate realizes that everyone that turns the other cheek die, but God wouldn't have given him a life just to give it up, an almight being has no need to be a sick fuck, even a rusty uneducated pirate can see that.

[lukeloseth]

@InnarVen Everybody interprets things differently, you don't need to go posting your obnoxious opinions in a public forum where everyone can see em.

[entheomycophagist]

@lukeloseth He didn't say anything obnoxious

[lukeloseth]

@entheomycophagist He posted a detailed, blow-by-blow account of his own very literal interpretation, as if it was the only right one. That's obnoxious.

[therewassun]

@lukeloseth OMG LUKE AHHAHA hi.. its ashlie HAHA wtf

[InnarVen]

"One thousand stories and there's always more

We've been offered one more lap to go"

Pirates have a lot of free time, so the spend it telling stories. What stories can they talk about? All they know is their raids. 1000 raids became 1000 stories and there's always more as some poor ship just appeared in sight offering them the chance to plunder it.

"We are out of wind

We have pock-marked chin

We have lots of water"

Some random thougths of a pirate.

[InnarVen]

"Coming home after a long, long walk

Coming home after a dozen of walks

Coming home after a long, long war

Coming home after a dozen of wars"

This estabilishes the mentality of the singer.

By putting wars and walks in the same structure, it shows that wars are as natural as walks to the one singing.

"In my hand I hold a key

It's dear to me cause I know where it leads"

This refers to the legend that notorious pirates hid treasure chests in islands.

So he can use his key to open the chest.

[simuss12]

these guys know about rythm!

[sullysuckafish]

its long long walk not war

[Autonova]

@sullysuckafish it's both, like in the vid description

[InnarVen]

The song is an irony towards weak and coward mentalities such as that of "Jesus the Christ".

The person singing is a Pirate Captain which can not see the difference between a war and walk, and has fun thinking how he could possibly win anything by turning the other cheek.

[xKusM]

@InnarVen I still don't get it.

[InnarVen]

@xKusM

"We turn the other cheek with a grin"

So he grins, he grins because the only way he is gonna turn the other cheek is to see better the head is going to chop off :)

[InnarVen]

The symbols are the 'Seal of Lucifer', representing Satanism, the 'Unicursal Hexagram', famous symbol of Thelema, 'Valknut', symbol of the Ásatrú pagans and the 'Symbol of chaos' of the modern magical tradition of Chaos.

[shinyeyedwomyn]

Alexidane, thank you so very much for putting these amazing live videos on You Tube. The Knife touches my heart and my soul so much. There really is no one else out there like them. To listen to this, I just float away to somewhere else. So gorgeous and hypnotic. I do hope the little kitty cat part is somehow fake, or some kind of trick phtography, because I feel sorry for the kitty.

[PR00H]

if i were planning to commit suicide this is what i would listen to the last 6 mintues of my life

[mendozaadrian]

@PR00H Hahahaha! I always say the same thing! :D

[MidgetguyII]

@PR00H Really? I would listen to "Still Light".

[krosser40]

FANTASTIC........

[hosstine]

[ubbecykelkedja]

Flying white cats @ 3:21 = awesomeness

[easytears]

[weitherz]

[Skullomaniaaaa]

Wow. I've heard this I don't even know how many times and it still gives me chills. Experiencing it live would be beyond words.

[Floriller]

hamma sound

[MetalDust64]

I am one of the lucky souls that saw this tour LIVE, and yes it was more then an ordinary live-show.

[P1ckAp8rt]

is the audio fuzzy on this or did i blow my speakers?

[celestexcore94]

@P1ckAp8rt haha it's fuzzy. ^_^

[ilikelittlepuppies]

the beat....

[faerska]

I just realised that they use this sound in the trailer for the new movie called "9"

U hear that to? :)

[Heraltodus]

I noticed the same a couple of days ago ^ ^

[bdotzour]

@faerska I got chills down my spine when I heard this on a movie trailer. Awesome music!

[jaelcm]

yes it is!

[Powerstation88]

Yeah it's right at the start of it--- although i don't know why they didn't just continue with the song in the advert after the initial slow phase... i mean the beats would have suited it perfectly!!! I remember seeing the ad in the cinema and nearly wet myself! --Love the Knife.

[gweflj]

The future now.

[BowcatJukeboxxx]

wow.... perfect blend of arts, visual, sonic, performative, pure magic that has become expected from this amazing duo... great post, ty

[MelroseMafia]

[EffwordMusic]

[huppy55]

Id love to here Lisa Gerrard sing w/ shakey hands on this one.

[faster4tec]

FARK ME, just FARK ME.

I did not know this track existed until i bought the album, stunned I went looking for some sort of visual experience to go with it, I am now instantly envious of anyone that has seen this live and the rest of the silent shout show for that matter :p

I LOVE KNIFE

[diisii]

i know you posted this thing like a month ago, but in case you haven't seen the silent show yet- check silent shout tune!!! and marble house, and kino, and...actually check them all :) for me- amazing!

[faster4tec]

yup, seen them all via internet sources now.

NEED to see this in person

[AnUnmitigatedBleat]

Now, THAT'S how you put on a show...

[pdcoy53]

Strange and wonderful

[COZMO404]

jumping cats not throwing cats!!

[Gnackwatschn16]

strange

[Autonova]

probably my favourite knife track, and that's saying something. truly awesome.

[MindKontrolleMia419]

orgasm

[spankthewan]

This song is obviously a soldier's perspective.

[skylined101]

throwing cats in 3:22-3:44?Oo

[NinjaKon]

This... There... There just are no words to describe how... how... brilliant this is!

[mareindusriale]

@NinjaKon

Just no language to describe how... how much we love this! Yes, It's İstanbul and Vilnius...

[cyyyggnus]

I hate to quote a valley girl, but "OMG!!!"

cygnus

[sugarrayofsunshine]

WOW - an incredible intro- I was taken into another world. I wasn't quite sure what was happening - I LOVE IT

[sciurisciura]

ahhhh the beginning.. chills.

[fuckdalogi]

Amor

[grimlund]

Brilliant...just brilliant. I have not seen The Knife live but this song must be the perfect one at the very beginning in the concert.

[KennethCockwhore]

[MadCircle01]

[ultravaccine]

[Paenguru]

gänsehaut

[I5I5]

<3

I just love it..

[Kingcobrasaurus]

This is in the beginning of the 9 trailer.

[boughtinerror]

the intro is the best fucking soundscape ive ever heard!!!! love it when the base kicks in just as the surfer moves across the screen!! visuals are ace

[m10gpx]

@homelesshero101 PRICK!!!

[pretending21]

btw they're using this song on the 9 trailer movie where tim burton is the producer

[carleylovessims]

I know! Too bad it isnt in the movie! Its only on the trailer! I just found about this song from 9!

[pretending21]

I just can't stop listening to the knife and fever ray, I've been stuck with their albums playing them the whole day for about 4 months, I may need to hear something new but I just can't stand it, I love their sound and Karin's voice, I hope that someday my dream comes true and they come to Mexico :)

[funkyjaguilera]

pretending, can i come over and listen to them with you?? :D

[Bezax00]

kakashi010203, I see U dont have any f*king idea of what they are doing. This is one of the best electronic music intro in years, and you say is boring?? Come on, shut up and try with Britney...

[dumbblondedude]

wow that was ass, im sorry the beginning was boring and the rest was just plain balls.

[parabolateralis]

the youtube community would like to give thanks to DUMB BLONDE DUDE for bestowing us with his carefully thought out words of intelligence and analytical thinking. we are forever in debt to DUMB BLONDE DUDE's opinions, as they matter to everyone here. everyone's opinion matters. of course we care.

Thank you

DUMB

BLONDE

DUDE.

[dumbblondedude]

i love you too.

[beanerhomes]

his vioce?????????????????????????­

[kakashi010203]

dude first 3 mintues is like..nothing and i got bored. until they pumped it up a little

[12TIEMYSHOES]

Im a little like ??? then just to put this in an action im like KICKASS.

[monkeysandpeople]

where can i get there music? ive looked all over for it and cant find it

[12TIEMYSHOES]

on itunes

[AlexAnderDeeJay87]

try bitcommet i found lots of their albums m8 :)

[Lottieballerina18]

They sale their album in HMV with this song on a special 'live' cd. It also includes a music video dvd within the album :)

[aristocat91]

Yeh, I got that album by my side right now. Superb is the word.

[madedar]

Thelema symbols. I wonder...

[FructoseAbuse]

Thelema?! Oh I've been dieing to know what that symbol was. What is the other triangle symbol? or are they both the same?

[ZeNebbz]

Oh man, not just Thelema.. but I noticed that one too. There's a Chaote symbol in the mix, and celtic trigram, but what's aweosme about that one is that it's not specifically celtic. It's an ancient symbol, found in buddhist, taoist, christian, etc.. etc.. etc......

[CuddleDumplings]

OMG i know!!

i hate it cause i dont want them to be using it for lame movies that dont even fit it :( i like it when know one really knows about the knife

[ubbecykelkedja]

Lol. They're using this song in a trailer for the movie "9".

[angrybadgerfilms]

wow. did you figure that out all by yourself?

[ubbecykelkedja]

If someone said it's THIS easy to impress pompous people, I never would've believed them. My post was an answer for the person which hoped this song wouldn't be used in a lame movie where the song lost its meaning. And look what happened.

[KathleenAlexisxx]

i dont see why so many people thumbs down my comment. i didnt really say anything negative. i just really hate when things get too popular, cause then other people ruin it for me.

[HiTwoBah]

Why does the fact that someone else knows about something ruin it for you? It seems kinda silly.

[Cefr24]

Dog I've been a fan of this group for a few yrs.. Since "we share our mothers blood"

You can't keep a lid on this..
