Fever Ray 'Stranger Than Kindness'

[@Bansidhe001]

This is a stunning cover of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' song "Stranger than Kindness" from Your Funeral....My Trial. The song was written by Anita Lane and Blixa Bargeld. Thanks Fever Ray, you took an already favourite song of mine and embued it with another layer of awesome!

Nick Caves Song was like an old friend always by my side when i turned to Sadness and Lonelyness.... and help to heal slowly and survive even if u lost the most important in ur life.....

[@YSOFTWARE]

My favourite of Fever Ray's. The video makes it even more complete.

[@DragonGioco]

Stranger than kindness Bottled light from hotels Spilling everything Wet hand from the volcano Sobers your skin Stranger than kindness You caress yourself And grind my soft cold bones below Your map of desire Burned in your flesh Even a fool can come A strange lit stair And find a rope hanging there Stranger than kindness Keys rain like heaven's hair There is no home there is no bread We sit at the gate and scratch The gaunt fruit of passion Dies in the light Stranger than kindness Your sleeping hands The journey The loiter Stranger than kindness You hold me so carelessly close Tell me I'm dirty I am a stranger I am a stranger I am a stranger to kindness...

Plauff Lses I havent read the Lyrics, sounds good though.

+Plauff Lses just listen to the original by Nick Cave. Clear as a bell.

[@duantorruellas716]

ionderness thank you for these beautiful lyrics . ☺

[@ShadowSentinel]

I love how, Karin Andersson, can just take you to an entirely new world and never let you down. I really hope she continues her marvelous work.

[@GodmadeConscious]

Thought her name was Karin dreijer?

[@LtEdPell]

No, being hold up in your Scandinavian house for half the year in the winter has no effect on your mind. Perfectly normal thoughts.

Dont worry. Live in a place where winter is hot and summer is hotter than hell, like Brasil, is also very healthy.

how ironic.

[@gavinhalvey1851]

im flabbergasted and speechless as no one i have herd of can cut a Nick Cave number as brilliant as this . Fever ray you have now got yourself a new fan well done

[@stopbunsen]

True. I've heard a lot of Nick Cave covers, but this is the only one I can say actually cuts it.

[@styxcreek]

Excellent version of one of my favourite Cave numbers.

[@styxcreek]

***** it is a Nick Cave song originally.

[@711scrilla]

Nathan Parsons Actually it isn't. Cave said it was written by someone else, a female.

[@styxcreek]

Anita Lane , she was his girlfriend in the 80s

[@711scrilla]

Nathan Parsons Thanks for name! I could not think of it off the top of my head.

[@thgeremilrivera-thorsen9556]

Anita Lane and Blixa Bargeld are credited with writing the song. But it was written for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, so I think it's fair to call it a "Nick Cave" song, too.

[@hydrodwarf]

Such a beautiful cover by one of my favourite artists covering another favourite. I'd love to see & hear a new duet by Nick & Karin.

[@letthepassionflow]

This is my favorite song from the album, the video evokes my most primitive feelings, she's dark and beautiful and the music desintegrates you..

[@davecraft61]

Such a superb song. And a more than worthy cover.

[@EllyjTh]

Fever Ray...I want Fever Ray! That music is amazing and I can't get enough of it. The Knife just isn't the same

[@kariyam2202]

You will never have a better experience of listening to this song the first time than me, walking through a grass field at night feeling absolutely hopeless.

[@gabrielb.3630]

Kariya M what happened then? You got better or suddenly fullfilled?

[@nopegrigsby1140]

wow...

[@clifton7007]

Wtf!!! I had no idea this was a nick cave cover until now. It is one of my favourite songs ever.

[@sobir131313]

I can't help rocking back & forth out of pleasure when this is on

[@VixenRouge]

This is so inspiring, so so very inspiring. It's been long since I saw such an art piece.

[@valeriet2330]

I miss her so much. Hope she will come back one day

[@therealKINDLE]

Haven't you heard? She is. Maybe it will be Fever Ray, maybe not. But she is currently in the studio!

[@valeriet2330]

+KINDLE typed it when there wasn't an interview

[@mariamoro8404]

which interview?

[@zipppit89]

She stated in an interview that she's never going to do the fever ray guise again.

[@ushersan]

gosh! i cant believe it.. :(

[@alund1306]

This is a wonderful cover of one of my favorite songs. She made it her own, which in my opinion, is the only way to cover a song. Great touch on the ending.

[@iwantchai]

I've come to the same conclusion. It's like reliving what was a mind-blowing show. So glad I had to chance to experience such a rarity of a performance!

[@stergiosvet]

Now this is pure art...

[@paintandillustrate]

Love their creativity and individuality one of my favorite bands right now..

[@HelloImHenriette]

All of her videos have this strong eerie voodoo-like theme, with all these amazing witchdoctor-costumes and stuff! Amazing art!

[@CelestialGalaxy7]

Still one of the greatest videos ever made.

[@ValhallaRaven]

absolutely love this project of Karin's. I'm not a big fan of the Knife, but I love how haunting and dark Fever Ray's music is…it kind of reminds me of Portishead, but on another level..make another album please!

[@waltherjohnson]

its something in the lines of being stranger than kindness in a world where kindness is already one of the hardest emotions to find. The video is just the voice being turned visual, pure artistic stuff, not meant to be completely understood, but interpreted.

[@rgavathiaesima4649]

OMG thank you for the including Greece in your destination, I can't wait ...🖤

[@einahnottub]

Her videos are breathtakingly beautiful. Generally I just use KZbin as a music player, but with Fever Ray I cannot take my eyes away from her videos. They are so visually rich and emotionally provoking.

[@markhh99]

karin and andreas' vision and direction churn out work of progressively greater strength and awesomeness. so good to know that's not impossible. i'd like to live in this video.

[@nord1967sur]

Génial!!! Cette chanson récupérée des années '70 est une vrai merveille! GREAT!!!

[@rleeroberts6350]

Thank you NICK CAVE .

[@SetTheCurve]

listening to this on a phone is bizarre. You can't hear the main reason this song is awesome: the bass.

[@hydrodwarf]

Wow never knew two of my favourite artists would collide like this...

[@davidhertz7583]

That type of music today's rock'n'roll is not delivering.

[@cater2youtimes2]

The obsession does not end. This song puts me in a daze and I really can think listening to this.

[@mbm2112]

Love this song, especially the depth and rythm from 2:31...so unique, dark and sexy

[@jimberkt]

Just saw Fever Ray at a Festival, easily the best show i've seen in my life and i couldnt even see the stage for all the smoke they put out. had a similar set up to this video with the lampshades and a super awesome laser show.

[@peterwillymcjohnsonator7837]

Fever Ray's songs have that dark artistic feel to them. She also uses pitch shifting in her songs, which gives it a even darker feeling. I remember when i first heard "keep the streets empty for me" I loved it. Now i love all fever ray and the knife too (which just came out with a new album not too long ago)

[@Jessicanana89]

Beautiful! Watching it live was amazing too! Woot for the Glass House! I hope a video for "here Before" will come out. It's my ((new)) favorite song from Fever Ray ((so far.)) haha.

[@lupanubis]

what a beauty of a track :-)

[@rosmerymendez3872]

Esta canción es realmente preciosa, me da una satisfacción y me tranquiliza, grande fever ray

[@nomis7791]

this clip reminds me of elements of the fever ray live show... what a powerful experience to see them live!

[@faster4tec]

remember seeing this live at Brixton last year. Up until that point I'd never heard it before (somehow slipped through the net). and it blew my mind. Utterly gorgous and moving.

[@markhh99]

A suggestion: if you can download this video, increase the Brightness on whichever video player you watch it with, and you'll be able to see some cool extra stuff that's hidden behind the darkness. It's totally worth it.

[@ninfa.nymphness]

In the bible the apostle Paul, a devout follower of the Son of God:Christ, showed love to people like me and Fever Ray... no matter our differences to him and Jesus Christ. So, im gonna love Fever Ray.

[@Stockhauz]

Im not much for covers of Nick Cave songs, but when someone takes a song and makes it "theirs" instead of trying to sound like Cave it's more ok. Fever Ray did a good job making it hers.

[@indieclock]

this is absolutely epic.

[@stopbunsen]

Been wondering if Karin got her inspiration for her song The Wolf from Nick Cave's Tupelo. It's the same chords, and both songs have a tribal feel to them.

[@waaromnietEmma]

SHE DID WELL, she did very well, but it seems nobody knows THAT THIS IS A COVER of one of my NICK CAVE favourites, and I can´t figure why exactly but I kind of felt angry when I didn´t see him mentioned anywhere. This is a tribute I suppose so he deservers some HONOR!

[@immaturegirl]

The part in 2:30 is epic. The audio and visual combined...

[@vampirexion]

I love this band so so much,

[@motosque1]

Haunting, epic and disturbing. KDA we love you

[@AceObrin]

Ok, I've heard many examples of "Music;" seen many "Music Videos." This is something transcendant; a dream manifested beyond its neurological origin. "Amazing" is too discrete a word to capture the holomorphic, effervescent nebulosity of this expression. Karin will be known for many years to come, as well she should be.

[@OscarArcilaAscor-A]

Buen trabajo!

[@ourorobots]

...piece of art...

[@Screaminglyjolly]

This is now how I imagine that Karin looks and sounds in real life, and it´s awesome!!
