Fleet Foxes - Tiger Mountain Peasant Song (Cover)

We're First Aid Kit and we're a sisters-duo from Sweden. In the summer of 2008 we did this cover of "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song" by Fleet Foxes.
We went out in the forest this morning and recorded this cover of the wonderful song "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song" by Fleet Foxes, our favourite band right now. We saw them live this weekend in Sweden and it was absolutely amazing. If you get a chance to see them live don't hesitate for a second!

“15 years ago” is outrageous but here I still am listening

[@fourground4363]

They said it was a gift to Fleet Foxes, but really this was a gift to the world.

[@momjack012]

🤯🤯😱😱

[@lindsaybulmer8189]

100!

[@sarge9733]

But crazily they still sound exactly the same. Most young artists 'mature' and change. These girls already had it from the start.

[@orlando.ferreira]

It is so beautiful, I keep coming back here for years now.

[@nicholasystad2351]

I found this song when I was a teenager. Now I’m 32, I have children, and every once and awhile I find myself back here listening to this track. I showed it to someone I loved who passed away, I’ve lost best friends, I’ve lost family, and this song remains here. A monument. It hold such an immense weight over me, and I’ll be honest, I’d never heard the original before finding this, and can’t find the same poignance in that track in comparison to this recording. This is a song I hope is played at my own funeral. It’s seen me through so much loss, so much growth, shit, so much life in general.

[@gbbarn]

Okay.

[@MrRicehard]

*hug* I hear ya brother. :)

[@quacksms4601]

Aww, beautiful comment ❤️

[@slaphappybullet]

Came here for a similar reason. Gen Z on TikTok is obsessed with this era of music and style and fashion at the moment….. and it feels so weird to be seeing it all over the internet again. The books I read at that age, the music…. So much is “cool” again and it’s honestly been hard to see and is making me step off the internet. Like damn….. where did the time go? A friend I used to listen to this with hasn’t talked to me in ten years despite me reaching out and asking what went wrong. A time before so many people I love died, and when I had so much hope for the future and all the adventures I’d have. It’s bittersweet to look back.

[@majabe6512]

​@slaphappybullet I get it I think. It's weird being able to look back like that... time passing without mercy...but have you heard their latest music? It's giving me so much hope and joy. Maybe you too?

David Clinging Oh no. I bet you were sniffing glue then. I tried whiskey swish at 15. But I certainly didn’t display any amazing talent at that age. Or ever, really. Even at 51. Good thing I’ve still got some time to be extraordinary. Still got hope...

[@Jakal-pw8yq]

They do a beautiful performance at a dinner honoring Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris. You have to watch that! I think it was done maybe four years ago? They wrote a song for Emmylou that's just so touching and beautiful, and Emmylou was in tears!

Music doesn't get much better than this. Really good song, just an acoustic guitar and a pair of great singers with voices that harmonize so well together and everything artificial scaled away. Imagine if you were talking a walk in the woods and suddenly heard... this =)

[@MagklJellyBeanPastelLucidDream]

@@annaleonardi6299 so don’t take advantage of the system taking advantage of everyone else? Take back the power so those homeless people don’t have to be, because the US is “We the People”. Meaning, if the Govt won’t buck up, we the people will. It’s a modest way of looking at life, it’s universal.

[@gazw1874]

I just saw them on the Graham Norton show. And instantly thought back to this video I came across years ago. Glad they're doing so well and recieving the attention they deserve.

[@elljay02]

My college roommate shared this video with me all the way back in 2008 when we returned for fall semester. We sang duets all the time and this video reminds me of harmonizing with her; how easy it was, how much fun we had, and the beauty of life I had forgotten that she helped me see. Diehls if you see this somehow you’re still the absolute best and always will be. You saved my life that year and you were the best friend I had in all my time up north. It’s been ages but I’d trust you with my life today just like I did then. I still have the BDB playlist you made me- bangers and classics, every single track 🔥💯🥲

[@tinytoepfer]

When this video was first posted, my mother showed me this and said "mary come over here and listen to this beautiful music"...my sister and I continually tried to emulate their sound and listened to it over and over again and I even idolized them. I was only eight years old...and I've come back to this now, 7 years older, and they've toured around America and become so incredibly popular. It makes me so happy to see that these beautiful girls have come so far without me even knowing it. God bless these girls and god bless this music.

[@jumper1294]

Hey you're 21 now how's your life been? Maybe it's time to revisit these amazing lady's again incase you forgot.

I remember when this first appeared on KZbin. I was going through the back lash of an accident. I listened to these sisters over and over. I knew they were going to be huge. I watched them grow and when they came out with Hard Believer and wolf Mother I was done. These girls are hands down my favorite artist. I wish them all the best and I hope the world opens to them. Thank you First Aid for being you.

I remember discovering that song and I am so glad they now have albums, tour and play live at festivals, 14 years later now 28 and 30 years of age. They deserve everything. Their music is literally a first aid kit. ❤

I always come back here. After I hear a new song from them, from a new album...I come back here. KZbin tells me they dropped this jem 7 yrs ago and I shake my head in disbelief every time. It's such an honor to have "grown" up with them. To see how far they've come. To have their songs as the backdrop of some of the best and hardest times of my life. Who would've thought such great things would come from a guitar and 2 little girls in the woods? Stay Gold, girls💕✨

You said it properly as you´re probably english native speaker. I´d just add: it´s almost unbelievable the very fact that they exist. Despite all Beyonces and Rihannas around, isn´t fantastic to know these two sisters are around as well and do what they do?

I can’t stop watching these two angels harmonize. After watching their other videos, I am stunned by the path their careers have taken over the years since this initial video was done. Amazing. You have a big fan here in America. Well done ladies.

[@zepp1832]

Discovered them shortly after this video was uploaded. I remember all they had released was Drunken Trees and I was addicted after I heard Pervigilo. Seeing them every year they come to California and watching them grow has been a treat and some of the best memories of my life. Glad they are a talent that has gotten the recognition they deserve. Still, no matter how big they get, I still think of them as this incredible little band that made a video of themselves singing in the forest and only I and a few others knew about them and how special they are.

They say "this is a gift for you" in such a silly way because this was before they were famous at all and I assume they didn't realize that the fleet foxes would actually see this one day. This was in 2008 First Aid Kits first album came out in 2010
