Everyone should live in Sweden at least once! Wonderful.

[@Snomo]

I can't even begin to imagine how breathtaking this would have felt to watch in person. One of those moments where I'd probably feel connected to everyone else in the audience through that experience.

[@sturestahle4394]

I was there!!! Breathtaking

[@johnnawatson486]

I felt that hearing it on yt.

[@gustaf0902]

One of my friends was there. I am so jelaous! It was GREAT he said

[@gryjss9167]

More males singing . Why the fuk is there every female who sounds the fuking same

[@annaeriksson8333]

Agree. Also, what would Mr. Cohen himself have thought about this? My guess is he would have loved it! 💝

[@tonremmers2857]

This is amazing! Have some great memories to the song. Thank you from Holland.

[@DPK12]

How can this only have 130,000 views. There millions missing out

[@lenajohnson7640]

I wish i could give this10 👍

[@jerryheschsr]

what a remarkable version. Many covers have been done, this is the best version. It tugs at my black heart strings and even my dark soul! Haha! Blessed Friday to all.

[@astrounclejoe2572]

This should have MILLIONS of views. Goose bumps and tears from start to finish. Thank you!!!

[@keithwigley1256]

Why millions.. small is still more beautiful..

[@gryjss9167]

Why no more dudes singing. Woukd have made it way better.

[@joewilliams2493]

I think that Nina, an actress, has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. She could easily be a recording star.

[@ANTHONY1962KERRY]

Stunning!!!

[@sharellfox-ralston1958]

It was my introduction to first aid kit and if that's not a good and resounding great stuff, what is. They were so honest in their interpretation of his songs I fell in love and follow the music to everything that they do!

[@hans-joachimboysen7980]

the very best hymn to Leonhard Cohen, moving to tears

[@maveybabyMD]

I’m no longer human I’m just one big mass of goosebumps 🥰 this is incredible-love the harmonies. I’m a huge Cohen fan, and more recently a first aid kit fan, so I love this!

[@tonywright8342]

Your words have echoed just what I was thinking after this amazing performance. 💚🌈

[@JoJoTheYuMan]

amazing lyrics man combined with amazing voices woman. perfect marriage.

[@paulhogg9153]

I got the goose bumps to

[@laninavaille2407]

You know, some people don’t get goosebumps from music. How sad.

[@bertjetolberg103]

Goose bumps and tears in my eyes

[@johnnawatson486]

Moved to tears. Such a great tribute. So rarely are things like this actually so good. When that guy comes in at about 2 mins...holy fucking shit. I feel it in my whole life rn. Amazing thank you thank you all. Beautiful

[@mariavecera7659]

This song is amazing

[@bertjetolberg103]

I am from Holland so i have no idea who all these people are but what a great performance The hidden star in this song is the drummer but all together its more then great

[@Mr195357]

Some of the most beautiful music and poetry (Because that’s what it is) I have ever experienced. Such an emotional experience! Very moving.

[@annaeriksson8333]

Somehow, I believe mr. Cohen would have loved this!! ❤

[@davidrosenblit9935]

Beautiful and timeless version ❤

[@Preppy_RhyLee_Vlogs]

YOU GUYS ARE TOO GOOD TO BE REAL. WOW.

[@nvillekat]

Stunningly beautiful. I know this - If Mr. Cohen has been blessed with the privilege of experiencing this (and why wouldn’t he be?), I have no doubt he was pleased and tipped his Trilby to these talented, gifted folks. Absolutely Incredible.

[@Matty11209]

I've been getting obsessed with this song lately and watched most of the videos of it on KZbin. This is one of the best. I don't even care that one of the singers sang "I see that you've gone and changed your HAIR again." It's still beautiful.

[@sbramberg1889]

And when Maja Francis? 'climbs the mountainside'... Goosebumps all over me! Wonderful!, In class with Jennifer warnes version of 'famous blue raincoat'!

[@maireadosullivan573]

Just beautiful. Thank you from Cork, Ireland 🇮🇪

[@DPK12]

Hey, this is out of left field, I was watching a concert from the palace a couple years old now and the lions roar was played to it's ninth degree. The left field is... Is the song a reference to the long fellows poem?

[@w0mblemania]

Pretty good. Not sure why they changed some of the words, but still...

[@mariananiemann-ml4lb]

Come over to the window, my little darling, I'd like to try to read your palm. I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy before I let you take me home. Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. Well you know that I love to live with you, but you make me forget so very much. I forget to pray for the angels and then the angels forget to pray for us. Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ... We met when we were almost young deep in the green lilac park. You held on to me like I was a crucifix, as we went kneeling through the dark. Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ... Your letters they all say that you're beside me now. Then why do I feel alone? I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web is fastening my ankle to a stone. Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ... For now I need your hidden love. I'm cold as a new razor blade. You left when I told you I was curious, I never said that I was brave. Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ... Oh, you are really such a pretty one. I see you've gone and changed your name again. And just when I climbed this whole mountainside, to wash my eyelids in the rain!

[@dennisrogers5106]

The only way to appreciate this song is watching the production. If one were just to listen to it say on the radio it would sound like a high school choir. I don’t know a little disappointed.

Who is the artist in the green dress?

[@wibjorn]

Her name is Annika Norlin. Mostly performs in Swedish, but also has (had?) a solo Project under the name ”Hello Saferide”, you should check it out.

[@ZSAZSS09]

So well known song, but so very different.
