From the Polar Music Prize 2011.
First Aid Kit appear before Patti Smith during the awards ceremony.
"Dancing Barefoot" by Patti Smith and Ivan Kral

This is only the end of the song.
Lyrics (as they sing it):

she is re-creation
she, intoxicated by thee
she has the slow sensation that
he is levitating with she ...

here I go and I don't know why,
I spin so ceaselessly,
'til I lose my sense of gravity...

I'm dancing barefoot
heading for a spin
some strange music draws me in
makes me come on like some heroine

(oh god I fell for you ...)

the plot of our life sweats in the dark like a face
the mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself
grave visitations
what is it that calls to us?
why must we pray screaming?
why must not death be redefined?
we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms
and whirl on a pane of glass
an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree
the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women.

(oh god I fell for you ...)

  • @fingal61 Thank you. What is the song about? Have they discussed it at any point? Or is this the first clip of it that's been heard?

  • @jimmyRRpage

    This is part of a tribute to Patti Smith's music and poetry.

    This cover is just the latest among many other.

    Look it up at wiki for further info.
