Just a quick message to those who think this video is making a religious statement. What the girls are actually doing here is to worship at the altar of Gram Parsons, not Jesus. For all I know, they might be Christians as well, but the cross on the ground is identical to the one on the back of Gram's Nudie-suit jacket. The video is also seemingly set in Joshua Tree, where he died and was later cremated by his friend Phil Kaufman (as depicted in the mediocre film Grand Theft Parsons).

Both sides of my family are Swedish. I speak it almost fluently, I live two hours from Joshua Tree National Park (where this is filmed) and I have met Emmylou Harris.

What is this amazing clash of everything I love and hold dear doing in a beautiful song, sung by two beautiful, talented women? I'm breathless.

First aid kit can be assembled in almost any type of container, and this will depend on whether they are commercially produced (Studio) or assembled by an individual (Youtube published). Standard kits often come in durable plastic boxes (CD), fabric pouches (itunes) or in wall mounted cabinets (Facebook). The type of container will vary depending on purpose, and they range in size from wallet (Small audience) sized through to large rucksacks (Tour).

Just thought I'd add, their video 'Hard Believer' clearly states that they are not christians. Not that this means anything in relation, but I am a Christian & I still listen to them and enjoy their music; music is music.

After 10 hours of random radio crap i'm forced to listen to at work, this is my first aid kit. Thank you.

Video was made on that location because Gram Parsons, who's mentioned in the lyrics, was cremated there in 1973.

It was made in Joshua Tree National Park, part of Mojave Desert.

The cross on the ground marks the exact spot where cremation took place.

The cross looks similar to the one on the back of Gram Parsson's Nudie suit.

Just heard this lovely song performed on France Inter (a French radio) and I had to look it up - wonderful song by a wonderful group, I love it :o)

I love this song! One question about the video. Why the desert? This song is kinda gloomy and cold and romantic. Oh well, the music stands on it own.
