This is so deliciously bizarre. Every second was better than the last.

[earwax12321]

Everything they do live is better than their studio version. Thats crazy, so good.

[Sletchvalk]

@cody24881 What happens in 2012?

[BinkyMcDonutSchizen]

[evaohone]

[matindesfleurs]

absolutely amazing.

[zxcvnmtgb]

2:38 sounds like a lot of people starting conversation with you on facebook :P

[Edukacja10]

Totalna miazga!!!!Co za koncert i ta oprawa! Dobre klimaty na wieczór po fatalnym dniu  hehhehe. Greetings from POLAND!

[disgustipated123]

Just speechless. So simple yet so so powerful. You can't help but feel small in the face of something so great but how tiny and vulnerable Karin sounds at points, it creates an empathy between performer and listener and you're immediately a part of this song. I could scream out of frustration that this isn't more well known.

[Techne]

Wow, I thought Kino was fxcking awesome live, but just cant describe this

[LOVFRECRA]

144441 lol ... best dvd concert

[hdruktenis]

i have falling into an enchantment. can NOT stop listening to them. mesmerizing

[MusicJunky89]

i like the album version better, its my favourite song. i love the way they have the ability to freak you out with just a few minutes of music tho :D i love you!!!!!!!!

[nmeau]

This is fing brilliant

[batmite1977]

Wow. Bring on the future ~x

[STRANGELOVE1013]

They have to go to tour again! RIGHT ONCE! :D

[rtekbillabong]

[sualocin]

These two are masters of their craft, this is true art.

[nothingUneed2no]

[TheKasperkat]

de er bare så røvfede \o/

[salvator419]

i want to have their baby, gonna be tough though, i'm a guy

[jessikayatron]

Woooo Karin! She can bust a move.

[gotmyfingerrscrowsed]

Done $14.95 USD for New Deluxe edition from amazon sooooo good.

cant wait for it, how exciting :)

[gotmyfingerrscrowsed]

Fuck this is soooooooo good. I'm off to Amazon to buy the Deluxe edition you speak off I'll be pumping this fullball all day everyday for the next 6months.

yipeeeee

[millicent1990]

one of my most favorite songs in the world i would give a foot just to be there and see the performance!!!

[tlinscott1]

I was listening to music on shuffle the other night as I was going to sleep. I was in that that 3/4 asleep stage and woke up for some reason while a live version of this song was playing. Didn't know what was going on, Scared the shit out of me.

[sparkiesz]

yesssssss!!!! 5 feet! (goosebumps)

[theloneofficial]

seriously, whoever said "five foot high goosebumps" was right on.

ahh/mazing.

[agata2604]

I'm wondering if this is a lowfi thing?

because it sounds like it.

No, it is not a bad think.

The knife are fucking genius

[saddasdas2]

5 foot high goosebumps- this song.

5 fucking feet high.

it's completely grown on me.

[ubbecykelkedja]

If you watch this video while having the theme of "waking up from all grey, that is brainwashed into you by propaganda" in your mind, it's absurdly powerful.

People don't care because they don't have the energy. Their lives are tiring everybody with pointless, redundant crap instead of what could be the center points of their lives: to do work that you don't do for money, but because your soul has a passion for it.

[thepanicstops]

Is Karin singing both parts???

SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[NeonFoxLetsPlays]

yeah she does. she does all the vocals for The Knife.

[millicent1990]

i never felt anything like this with there music, i feel like i am in a different world, a better world. i wish sooo much they would come to america i would go to any state no matter how much it costs. i love them and their music!!

[teknoism303]

Oyehhh!

[droppingshades]

where can I download this in mp3?, I've only got the album version and I need the track live

[Treefingrs]

It's on a special 3 disc edition of Silent Shout. It includes a DVD of this concert and a CD of the audio too. Well worth seeking out.

[lunarmantra]

Do you know how to get the DVD in the u.s.? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

[siliconetoast]

@lunarmantra It's The Knife Silent Shout Deluxe Edition, Amazon has it , I got it for my Birthday last year and it's FANTASTIC !!! there are two audio cd's including the live recording. And one DVD that has the concert as well as all videos off the silent shout album.

[joeldunsdon]

crazy, it doesn't get ANY better than this.

[ShakaCthulu]

Such a badass song and such a genuine band.

[mislia1]

[monocasero]

[embolop]

[littlealanbig]

[Torekgo]

[wbarco]

[MetalDust64]

You try to feel but you can't wake up

you try to touch but you can't wake up

you're holding eyes and you don't wake up

increase the size and you don't wake up

I do it backwards but I don't wake up

try to reverse but I don't wake up

I sit astride but I still don't wake UUP!!

[paygar]

more than a second

when reading the newspaper

I felt the war

I felt her exposed position

I saw myself in the picture

and I

I took a cab there to hold her

I took a plane there to feel what she felt

you make me like charity

instead of paying enough taxes

[meekat24]

fuckkkk.. wish i was there!!

[MURDOCMULDOON]

unique ! great band heia sverige

[velvetfog]

Omlette.

[3DAnimatorZ]

excellent

[geirls]

Wonderfully, otherworldly weird.

[mishypoppins]

the beeeeeeeeeestest best.....Orgasmic!!!!!!!!

[kraftwerkk7]

are the best .. great live ... the songs are better than the studio versions ... is proof that great artists are

[younevergotmeright]

I love The Knife. What's so interesting about them is that their music sort of scares you sometimes, with the voices, the beats etc. They're my favourite band. Read an interview with Karin in (Swedish magazine) Filter and she said that once she's finished with touring the Fever Ray album, The Knife will record another album. Yay!

[rollinghillsandfog]

@younevergotmeright that's the best news I've gotten all day

[dahianUS]

I found out about The Knife about 3 hours ago and i cant stop llistening to their music...omg they're amazing I would love to watch it live...

..but looks like the last show was in December 2006 in L.A.!!! Im kinda late..damn...

btw.. best song so far...

[deerpet]

Search for Fever Ray. Not The Knife but Karin is at least playing in that band. You should be able to see them live some day

[charcharbiotch]

the lyrics for this song are funny

[ubbecykelkedja]

Funny? Hardly. It's about a person being tormented by pictures of war victims and realizes the taxes he/ she pays are financing the war and ultimately the death of the victims in the paper.

[sadajen]

I construe it more from their perspective as Swedes...they would rather help directly as oppossed to paying enough taxes to pay for social services. The Swedes haven't been involved in a war for a while.

[balkanize]

Seeing how they're definitely on the left fringe of politics, I highly doubt this is an anti-taxation anthem...

[ubbecykelkedja]

It's more about what the tax money are used for.

[MikaMute]

this is orgasmic !

[BrutalDeluxe80]

who is their v-j?

[nimafarahani]

FUCKING VOCODER A LA THEREMIN!!!

THEREMIN VOCODER! that is so brilliant...kind of a fantasy of sorts come to life, no?

I did not know that Karin did all the vocals...that is so impressive...so she plays all the characters? No way....The Knife were already a solid 11 on a scale from 1 to 10 for me ...but I think they just pushed it to an 11.5 or 12.

Bri-lli-ant.

Not to mention what an experience a concert like this must have been...

[seeknow]

karin is just soooo amazing

[xsusiex025]

i think this is my favorite on the live cd, so damn good

[CrackWhoreModels]

this is a dvd rip from their concert in in gothenbor,sweden

the vocals were very much live but not all of the music was live but it is very hard to this kind of music live since it alot of the music is computermade

[Redmax1979]

I LOVE THEM!!!!

[Phimpan]

this song is really crazy live :D! love it

[proles]

this is great, and to have been able to catch it live!

oh the jealousy.

[heysatan8]

He didnt catch this live, this is from the DVD Silent Shout: An Audio Visual Experience available from their website. I have it, it's SICK. I watch it on repeat all the time.

[nerd1000]

thanks for upload!

i loooove the knife so much

[banshek7]

you've gone mad with power karen

[rektangeldisco]

what is there in "IT'S ALL KARINS VOICE" that you dont understand?

[rektangeldisco]

there is an interview (in swedish, but still) here on youtube where they say that its all karins voice which they occasionally pitch down too sound like a man

[supercheeseyawesome]

Alright, I know this is dragging on, but did they mean everything as really absolutely everything that they do? It's just that some of their vocals, like on "Handy-man" really sound natural.

[razzz68]

they are soooo good... this performance to this song .. really does take the breath away!! karin is such a groovy talented girl.. unbelivable.. it makes her so sexy also.. in a wierd way.  love

[CrackWhoreModels]

they have never preformed you take my breath away live :)

[huggkruka]

If they only toured...electronic music sounds amazing with the right sound equipment and someone who can handle it. I saw a French band called Justice in the Rock en Seine festival, and even though I stood so far back I could hardly see the artists behind their equipment, the sound was so great and powerful you couldn't help feeling like dancing. Then I imagine that I knew all the lyrics and that I was somewhere up front, and that's what a Knife concert would be like. :D

[ZachD8]

omg, just amazing, this isn't a consert, this is a show!

If you think your beter then the knife... wow ur wrong..

[ronnoco70us]

I believe the girl that sings on a few Simian Mobile Disco songs is the chick from The Go ! Team but I could be wrong...

[remyandjude]

Wait, who does the vocals on this song??

Is it both Karin and Olof or just one of them and a voice changer??

[deoxyribonuclease]

It's always Karin. She alters her voice electronically.

[remyandjude]

Ahhh that is simply amazing. I love them

[spiegelscott]

whoa... but every time she sings in that low voice, it sounds like the same person--i thought it was olaf singing... you mean even in songs like 'handyman' and 'she's having a baby' that sound like they're sung entirely by a guy, that's all her? i've been listening to them forever and didn't know that... you seriously just rocked my world :)

[flo123456]

There are filters on their mics. It's electronic music, nothing is without artifice.

[heysatan8]

you can see her playing with the voice filters with her fingers if you look closely. I couldnt believe this was rly live, esp when Olof's sticks woudn't always go with the beat exactly, and then he'd stop using the sticks and the beats continue. I was confused, but I did catch Karin adjusting her fingers on some device while singing with all those voice filter changes.

[BumSlave]

Its Karin and this other lady who's the lead singer for Simmian

[CrackWhoreModels]

karin is the only that dos vocals on the knife tracks except mable house where there is vocals byu jay jay johnson

she uses somekind of voice distorter to change her voice..you can also see the box on the stage and she presses on it every time she needs to change the voice :)

[anickday]

What about 'We Share Our Mother's Health'?

Even in the live version, there is a point where two voices are singing.

[CrackWhoreModels]

its pre-recorded backing vocal done by karin :)

[DarkVertigo17]

What about You Take My Breath Away? :P

[blzjjj]

I like this version, lot of emotions.

[wowur2dum]

the knife rules..and im american wtf

[midasbasket]

Wtf was that?????

I wish I had 2 copies.

So I could shit on one and cover it up with the other.

[edicius52]

hahaha nah this song is sick

[Valholm]

lmao, midasbasket listens to adam sandler

[KUPHSER]

i would drop every goal i aim to achieve in life to see the knife perform live, then i would die a happy man

[KUPHSER]

i would drop every goal i have in life just to see the knife perform just once. then i would die a happy man

[TheWorldsLimits]

This song is so fucking weird... I love it. The orgional is so fantastic, but this is even BETTER! I need to listen to this on shrooms...

[pawelkono]

I am a fan!

[Balladofthebroken]

I got my first speeding ticket to this song.

[csmeatwad]

that's the coolest story ever.

[feedyourcat]

most powerful shit ive seen fomr the live footage.... reeally cool

[dave7733]

good shit good shit

[vitomarcomorgese]

ragazzi i knife sn il futuro.per me si possono paragonare solo ai beatles

siamo difronte ad una visione radicale della musica dello spettacolo della protesta un cambiamento epocale. bella raga il futuro è arrivato

[lipodog]

simply awesome. my friend introduced me to the knife last year after he saw them in london,sooooo jealous ide sell a kidney to see them live! mmm hmmmm thats right a kidney

[minstfyratecken]
