Heartbeats is a song by The Knife - a Swedish pop band formed in 1999. The song is the first single from their 2003 album Deep Cuts however the song was mildly received. The song was soon covered by José González on his 2003 album Veneer and the song became a hit in the UK.

-- Lyrics --

One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away
Both under influence
We had divine sense
To know what to say
Mind is a razorblade

To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, no

One night of magic rush
The start - a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love

To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, no
To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough

And you, you knew the hands of the devil
And you kept us awake with wolves teeth
Sharing different heartbeats in one night

To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, no
To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough

To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, no

[citi66]

stunning version of a stunning song. all three are as good in their own rights

[nostalgialien]

@NashKato they are interpretations, and this version is actually stunning. soo relax?

[dzidzo96]

l luv e director, u cn see the passion he has. they r awesme!!

[NashKato]

The least the arranger of this atrocity could have done was retain the original chord progressions. During the "And you..." bit, (s)he's replaced the Bb with an Eb. WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU EVEN BOTHER???! Don't even get me started on Gonzales, who takes even MORE liberties with the chord structure. If you're going to cover a great song, don't fucking rewrite it in the process. The original reigns supreme in every way. If you disagree, you are wrong.

[Ucfspencer]

dont be def to the beauty these girls have, just listen to how they sway the emotions in this song

[balletlover159]

god, this is so beautiful, i can listen to it over and over again

[Oruboris]

God, hasn't this song suffered enough? Do we really need another emasculated, emotion free version? I think not...

[limaq]
