This band is just so good live.

[@jeffsandman3890]

Somehow their voices are more stunning live than on the album. Holy shit.

[@eleanore8898]

Finally a live performance that upped the volume on Johanna's mic

[@lptomtom]

Not to mention her bass

[@nevaladder]

You can hear her growth, too. 💜

[@mitchellmtb7202]

@@nevaladder i can feel my growth

[@kalevala29]

@@mitchellmtb7202 oh, for crying out loud

[@thecinematicmind]

Still one of my favourite songs of the year.

[@gpeddino]

I just noticed that in the second chorus, Johanna sings the lead and Klara harmonizes above, but in the final chorus they switch places. Beautiful.

[@sanchisan6997]

Never even heard of them, but the fact that they perform so well live made me a fan. A-searching I must now go...

[@clumsiii]

first time listener here..checked the studio take after hearing this - damn they're good live - Sick harmonies - effortless

[@Leatherfacet]

A masterclass in harmonization.

[@quentinh5731]

Never knew they're sisters or Swedish. Some of the best harmonies in music period.

[@96762laieboi]

Wow, it's been almost 10 years since I first found them on KZbin. I haven't seen anything from them in a while so this was a nice surprise. Love these girls!

[@S0UL0NE]

K F So cool to see them blossom in their success!

[@folkfollower86]

Same. With their cover of Fleet Foxes "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song. " 💗 They've really been gaining traction in mainstream music over the past 4-5 years, starting with Lion's Roar album.

[@OrantesMontoya]

When you at last will be able to se them you now that´s something good is coming.

[@chiefsmurph]

Another great song from a great band wow

[@lobo2299]

Wow, so great live. Rare to see a band sound so good live nowadays. That's how you can tell it's real talent and not just production. Desperately need more of this in the industry.

[@toddjohnson7133]

With rap, hiphop and pop dominating the airwaves you tend to think all modern music is horrid...then something like this comes along and gives the world a glimmer of hope.

[@jamielancaster01]

Lovely song

[@gurusoft1]

Some of their masterpiece recordings. Walk Unafraid Emmylou My Silver Lining Lion's Roar If It Be Thy Will (live) The bridge on Emmylou crushes me.

[@Lina-zm4wd]

How. How can they sound so amazing, when they're live performing? I just love them so much.

[@102mayconfb]

Two angels singing on the ground. enjoy this wonder, the best voices that exist in the world today.

[@sadiqmohamed681]

What a lovely surprise. I discovered them on Jools Hollsand's show about 2 years ago, and have been following them since. I bought this album, and last year took it with me to listen to while having and MRI scan! The tech loved it too! Thank yous Stephen.

[@madi846]

First Aid Kit stop making me cry every time i hear this song challenge

[@MrTaitors]

Madison Clayton just give in, it’s too beautiful

[@nevaladder]

Except it's any song 😂

[@pbjtoast]

They are such great performers, the sound quality is always top notch. Saw them live at the beginning of the year and it almost sounds like the album. At moments they sound even better.

[@OrantesMontoya]

Agree with you.I think they sound better live.

[@sherry6894]

I love them since their very first album. ❤️

[@ank83agarwal]

They are sublime.

[@carlosvasconcelos5494]

They sing like angels. Awesome!

[@mgxterragonzalez97]

Been listening to this song in repeat for almost 3 hours definitely helping me get through some rough shit 💔😪

[@Paintbl99]

So good. Their live performances sound as good as their recordings. Perfect harmonization. True talents.

[@OrantesMontoya]

I think they are one of the best live bands around today.

[@madhonib]

I caught them live a few years back, excellent show!

[@theeldorado37]

These two ladies are so good, really like the music, congratulations "First Aid Kit"

[@olorin4317]

That longing yodel at the end gets me every time.

[@erose1320]

This song will always remind me of one of my best friends. Love you Courtney 💕

[@jduff59]

I had to hear if they could pull this off live and damn! Amazing talents and living proof that organic music is better then anything sampled. I'm a believer!

[@mrorionfan1]

I could not believe how good this was live!!!!

[@cleonRIP]

Heard this song on NPR first! Gave me chills

[@radioheadonafriday]

Oddly, I found some of their songs fitting for post-apocaplyptoic movies- surrounded by bleakness, a couple walks hand in hand towards the sunset as the songs play softly in the background. I'm rambling but stay gold you, and thank you for the music x

[@natedavies954]

It's not that odd. One of their songs did feature on a post-apocalyptic video game.

[@gulhurme95]

@@natedavies954 which one? :O

[@bryanspraul5989]

The Long Dark. It was game that made me discover them.

[@bujin1977]

@@bryanspraul5989 Same for me. I had heard them before on an advert in the UK, but didn't get into them until I started playing The Long Dark at around Christmas time last year. I've since bought everything they've ever made and listen to it constantly.

[@clutchyfinger]

Been a fan of First aid kit and Stephen for years and this happens? Hnnnnggggggg

[@anhtutran3923]

The best live version of fireworks.

[@johnfloy]

Just stellar!

[@catlady3147]

I can't get enough of these two. Incredible singers and song writers.

[@jeffwing8083]

Awesome, just awesome, and Johanna definitely makes me see Fireworks.

[@ellyeliz]

They are just so amazing! I love their music

[@saffroniachi3528]

Amazing! These days that is so hard to say about a new group or singer. Almost always they sound like someone you had already seen or to whom you had already listened. However, I must admit this group had me in sweet awe.

[@OrantesMontoya]

Yes,they are a bit different from other bands around.

[@mikaeleriksson5449]

You can blame another Songwriter/producer from Sweden for everything sounds the same.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iou3XmqFe5hpi80

[@luuiispereira]

Just saw them performing at Life Is Beautiful and they sound the same exact thing as the record! This girls are going to some good places ❤️

[@92lovetosing]

The studio version is great, but this! Perfect and powerful!

[@dankeman5266]

They‘re amazing!

[@outsidergua]

Totally surprised at how much I enjoyed this performance!

[@zombieshuffle2680]

Bloody amazing song

[@elizaheathen]

they are incredible

[@dreamwithinadream]

I didn't know they were Swedish, but now it makes sense why Spotify recommends me a bunch of Swedish songs after I listened to their album.

[@Necrapocalypse]

I've not heard of them before. What an enchanting song.

[@MrMrJonte]

AMAZING

Soooo AMAZING!!!😭🎶❤️

[@Catdaddysound]

First Aid Kit, Never leave home without one!

[@markhanlon4966]

Gave me chills/goosebumps!

[@MagCynic]

Johanna's such a troll. She's like 6'1" and STILL insists on wearing heels.

[@Samhalta]

It doesn't seem like it because she's always next to Johanna, but Klara is also super tall. When I actually went to one of their concerts I was like "oh shit, ok" ^^

[@Waxinasss]

Flawless
