The Cardigans - Sick & Tired

[@mvphrase]

The most underrated band on the moon

[@ink9]

People usually tend to call any second greatest band as underrated, but... I was shocked to know that none of their singles ever was #1 even in Sweden (and actually nowhere, only Lovefool was #1 in NZ according to Wiki)

[@lemonworm]

bro there is a fuckign flute harmonizing with the guitar solo this band is so goddamn dope

The mixing on this song is extremely unique and very subdued for a rock group. The super clean rhythm guitars, the almost non existent kick drum, and even just the little weird stuff like the snare being hard panned to the right make the song really dynamic and airy in a way I never would think to take a mix of this genre, very inspiring tbh.

[@bigpulgalokes]

They’re not rock

[@Leri-K]

@@bigpulgalokes Not even Soft Rock?

[@Talisayin]

@@Leri-K Peter and Magnus were metal heads before they started the band... their album Gran Turismo was the closest to rock they got but I’m still not sure if I’d consider them a rock group because their style has changed so much

[@TerryODowd]

@@bigpulgalokes Guitar, Bass, and Drums. That's rock. Soft rock, but still rock. Also, they played live shows without a backing track.

[@FugitiveGames]

It reminds of, like, mixing they did for old mono songs that were remastered for stereo, it gives them a very classic Americana feel.

[@Exarian]

Big props to the nameless SponsorBlock user who tagged the shot with the bassoon player as a highlight.

[@robertcudo]

I had a huge crush on Nina back in '97 so I sent a copy of their Emmerdale CD to be autographed. It never came back. I'm now 45 and I named my first daughter Nina, she's 20 now.

[@Dirty_Trippy]

That flute is genius

[@adierachmat8839]

Everlasting song of Swedish Pop Band ever

[@madasthefool]

This band is so indelibly underrated.

[@dirtholetribune3313]

Justin Greene The first two albums were great. After that, just average.

[@BSS22193]

Justin Greene i'm so agree with you on that one because all the albums from The Cardigans are really really great and their songs are so damn good that i can listen to them over and over again all the time and i never get tired of them.

[@Mattteus]

Justin Greene they’re underrated but it’s not indelible.

[@mossfoobar8322]

I listen to this song since last summer and it never gets old, they are incredible

[@MelPadden]

"Indelibly underrated"? Dude, I think your English is overrated.

[@angeliquechemin6330]

I saw them in Atlanta in 1995 and it was an amazing show- I was 16 and bought all of their European released records and singles. Those were the days

So good. How did these guys come up with their sound in the 90s of all times. So inventive and interesting. I was so into the heavy stuff back in the day. I really only know their major radio songs. Discovering them again for the first time.

[@seaminer5894]

Same here . I'm amazed how good was their music and accomplished musicians.

[@rerichoj8712]

Nobody has ever done, nor will do anything like the Cardigans. They're untouchable

[@mike032531]

All hail the bassoon!

[@grmpf]

As a bassoonist, I have to say, although it's cool to have a bassoon in a pop song, the playing here is unfortunately not that great.

[@Evildandalo]

grmpf That goes for a lot of rock bands that include random horn sections in their tracks. It’s usually a side effect of them having played that instrument in school before moving to guitar/keys/vocals and just wanting to throw a little part of it onto one song. Most great horns in rock were done by a session band a la Radiohead’s Life In A Glasshouse. However I can attest to it being a fun little experiment even if you can’t play that well. I can’t play my alto sax for shit anymore but given enough time and takes I can get it sounding good enough to sit in a mix without being distracting.

[@a.jamesstretton3813]

a metal song, but with Bassoon.

[@Talisayin]

Emmerdale 1994. I first learned how to play this song on guitar in high school in 2009 or so. First song my girlfriend (now wife) heard me play in 2015. Been playing it on and off for 5 years and she’s sick and tired of it because it’s all I play. It just sounds so good 😊

[@Korn1holio]

Oh. I still struggle to figure out these jazzy chords. But I love this song. Would you share a quick tab? I suspect there's a fair share of diminished and augmented chords in there.

[@stuartsinclair6269]

I don’t know if it was there first single/track, amazing how the group have shone now, amazing vocals and music. Unbelievable chord changes👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@AMattsen1]

Quite a pleasant chord progression, politely delivered, almost in a perfumed envelope. I enjoy this very much.

[@TheJofrica]

Great drums also (as always)

[@AMattsen1]

Now that you mention it, it sounds to me like the drums could have maybe been brought up a bit more by the mixer operator/producer. But I'm only a listener, and potential CD customer.

[@TheJofrica]

David Anderson That's a good point, I agree, they could probably bring the drums up a bit more. You're a good listener, nice ear!

[@BrookJolley]

This was their first album, they're a converted metal band too. It sounds to me like the drums weren't miced enough, or they were lacking tracks to do so, this was recorded in 1993 or 1994. The likelihood is the thinness with the drums is lack of available tracks to record them with. (i recorded albums back in 1999 and 2000 I know the technical issues they were up against)

[@aaronjones3123]

Strangely, I had this song in my head just today and for no reason. I wasn't a huge cardigans fan back in the day but liked this song in a pleasingly retro way. The thought I had after not listening to this in twenty odd years was this - isn't the rhythm to this a bit Latin Jazz? Those chords are a amazing, wrapped with folk and summery sixties pop on top. I don't know why this song suddenly sprung to mind today, but as a "youngster" I totally missed a lot of what was going on here. It was on mtv all the time and I considered it a pleasant diversion from a lot of the charty stuff at the time. But really its almost progressive in how tight the composition is. I'll go back and listen to a lot more cardigans after hearing this again, hopefully to discover more excellent hidden depths.

[@sassysuiryu1114]

They're so good. Times like this we need more music like this

Damn what a beautiful song this is because Nina's voice are so cute beautiful and unique as always and i really really love her and that really awesome Volvo pv 544 that are one of the most beautiful cars that are made in sweden.

For my taste, Emmerdale-Gran Turismo is as strong a stretch as any pop and/or rock group has ever had. I have never been able to embrace and relate with the albums that followed. I gave them many spins trying to fall in love, but it wasn’t going to happen. This right here is gold!
