You know a song’s good when an entire country posts a video about it.

[@sweden]

That's exactly right!

[@vitormmarques_]

hahah sorry to ask: wich country? and wich video? haha sorry

[@OwainCynanRoberts]

@@vitormmarques_Hello, same person, new account. To answer your question: Sweden’s the country, and this video is what I was referring to.

LOL RIGHT?

One of the best songs ever.

I remember his song being played with those colour balls falling. Very beautiful.

[@sweden]

Yes! Such a classic!

I am a METAL-HEAD but this is awesome man...

[@sweden]

That's awesome to hear!

[@OvaltineJenkinsFx]

Check out Billy Strings. Bluegrass musician with the skills of a metal guitarist.

[@stuartwilson3842]

Me too bud

[@clementcu4827]

Right ? But the dislikes in the video astonish me man.

[@writepg]

This is 2 years old but if you're still around I was wondering, being a metal-head, do you like the complexity of the original electronic version from The Knife?

[@RaeKash219]

Let's not forget this man made English music and then his native language

[@sweden]

Very true!

[@Wildsideakoni]

I’m glad Jose is doing well in life nice house that’s all I wanted for bro, his music really is therapeutic

Brill. Such a perfect tune and perfectly performed. Never tire of hearing this

I will never ever forget this guy playing this at T in the Park. Days of madness and you hear this…so simple and till this day send shivers up my spine. Thank you.

Just UTTERLY perfect ❤️❤️❤️

[@sweden]

Thank you!

[@briansymmes7917]

Saw Jose play in a small venue in Newtown, Sydney, not long after Veneer had been released. It is still by far the most magical concert I have ever seen live.

[@sweden]

What an experience! 😍

[@briansymmes7917]

@@sweden every song on the set was beautiful, it was a once in a lifetime experience.

[@sweden]

We're very glad to hear that!

[@nickpearsonuk]

A wonderful combination of deceptively simple guitar part and softly sung vocals. Beautiful... and so much better that the original electronica version. Sometimes a song needs to be discovered and reinterpreted to find it's real quality. Heartbeats joins Joe Cocker's 'With a Little Help From My Friends' as one of the very best covers of all time.

[@sweden]

A real talent!

[@raykwon7]

When I hear this perfect song, I think of Sweden, so it is absolutely correct that it is on Sweden’s official KZbin channel.❤

[@sweden]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@Camdavis11]

Thank you Sweden

[@sweden]

🙏

[@loganslade7372]

Hell yea Sweden, let's go!

[@sweden]

Yes!

[@StillbornGravity]

the original version from "the knife" is also really good in a different way. Its not a great song, but theres something magical about it as well.

[@sweden]

We love it!

[@ksell5441]

I think the knife original is fabulous

[@BookerTDooku]

I think it's absolutely a great song, absolute banger. Every bit as brilliant as this cover but, as you say, in a different way.

[@GothicTrunk]

The original is so simple yet so complicated because it is just so melodic that it can be done with practically any instrument and get the same ethereal effect. It's brilliant structuring of a song mixed with compelling flowing lyrics.

[@copee2960]

Love from the UK......one day we will meet...Peace and alaove yer all..................................and a better, happy NEW YEAR.

Happy new year!

His rendition is beautiful, but would be nice if there was more recognition of The Knife, who wrote the song, and who are also from Sweden
