Fun fact: The weird old man bobbing with the music next to Emmylou is actually the King of sweden.
My King.
@@tonibergqvist872 My Queens cousin.
@@kirstenbersang mine too
@@kirstenbersang So sad we lost our Swedish line :/
@@kirstenbersang lol what
They wrote this song when they were 14 and 17 years old. Pretty impressing.
ALWAYS loved this song. The chorus is incredible and would make anyone cry - not just Emmylou. But completely understanding why EH is in tears. 😢 It's so perfect. Thanks Fil, for taking on this one and the guitar demo.
The brushes on the drums are the train tracks moving and driving it. The steel is huge here also but it is the guitar which is the primary
They also got a standing ovation from Paul Simon after performing his "America." One could see he was saying, "That was great." Impressive how the nail the Americana style on this song. They make it look easy.
Honestly I never tire of listening to Fil talk about music - he's so in-depth and knowledgable. Also his eyes sparkle when he's watching the performances
Absolutely-nobody as perspective as he is that I've found. He is fabulous!
Perceptive is what I wanted to say
@@robertravas7516 - That's for sure - the things he notices. Far superior to most of these hacks who review a song only to say "it's earthy" or some shit like that
I have nothing but respect for anyone who has zero musical boundaries.
Many thanks for this Fil, the girls didn’t just have Emmylou in front, she is sat between the King and Queen of Sweden at the Polar Music Prize ceremony , Emmy was awarded the Contemporary Prize and Percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie the Classical prize, Dame Evelyn played at the London Olympics opening ceremony, Bruce Springsteen and his wife posted a congratulations video and thanked Emmylou for covering his songs, Darin and Brooke Aldridge covered Emmylou on last years album Inner Journey, First Aid Kit had Englishman Terry Duffy in their band on pedal steel, ☘️☘️☘️
Thanks, Robert Smyth! Wow! I wondered who was in the audience, very cool to learn all this. That pedal steel put me right over the crying edge.
Polar Music Prize is only ”awarded for significant achievements in music and/or musical activity, or for achievements which are found to be of great potential importance for music or musical activity, and it shall be referable to all fields within or closely connected with music". Basiclly the Nobel Price of Music.
Dame Evelyn Glennie’s achievements are the more applaudable as she’s technically deaf.
Music transcends countries. Swedish country music singers. I used to love to dance the Swedish Hambo when I was young and I've never been to Sweden. Love the Hambo dance and music. Why not? If you feel it, love it and want to express it in song then it's yours to play and sing. They are awesome. Thank you so much FIl!!
Any reference to Gram Parsons, Emmy Lou Harris, Johnny Cash, and June Carter Cash in a single song has to be great!
Never heard of these sisters before. Impossible not to be moved by the beauty of their singing. Thanks for bringing the girls to my attention Fil !
Wow! The whole song is one flowing peace of art! And I love how the sister's voices fit together, both singing the same notes or as slightly different melodies. Just like the girls of ABBA did in their days... And I love the Pedalsteel in this track!
My most beloved live-performance of First Aid Kit is the 2017 Leonard Cohen Tribute show - Wow was that an experience!
Piece* of art.
Thank you, fil for illuminating me on the talents and intricacies of playing this song and performing it for Emmylou Harris who it is written for, in a way. It’s a wonderful tribute to her and her love with Gram Parsons, who unfortunately passed away in an untimely way. I love country music. It has such integrity, always reaching for real emotions and experiences, vulnerability, and sweetness. The musicianship is another thing about country music. These people are musicians. They learn an instrument as well as learning how to sing. You see the musicianship here. They’re not doing the fake alterations you see in pop music. Lastly, I just want to mention that when Graham died so suddenly, Linda Ronstadt invited Emmylou to move in with her and they became fast friends ever since and have sung together beautifully many times
She was one of my dads favorite singers. I also love her voice. R I.P. Dad
So glad to see you give these gals the props they deserve.
I love First Aid Kit. They’re performing again after a break.
This performance takes me back.. crying thinking about love lost. Oh well, beautiful
Thanks, Fil for covering First Aid Kit.
I first saw them around 2012 on a music magazine cover, I thought I would check out how two girls so young got to be on a cover. I discovered a whole heap of talent, a pile of emotion, and a pool of versatility. And their vid for this song.
Have been following them ever since. They are great live performers.
oh, no. I have seen this video and I am such an easy crier! It's just beautiful, can't wait to hear what you have to say.............It might have flown under the mental radar, but they go unerringly straight to the heart. Thanks for drying my tears, soothing the goosebumps and illuminating the skills of these sisters!
I was cutting onions when I listened to this video.
They even made Patti Smith crying! Kind of a signature for them back then. Been lucky enough to see them live and they're amazing.
Fun fact 2 in Sweden there are so many people singing. We are a singing people :)
I love Emmylou, and I've watched this performance about 20 times. You always provide wonderful analysis and details, Fil. Thank you so much!
First Aid Kit are a very impressive group. What a great tribute to Emmylou, simply wonderful to see.
I'm from sweden, nice to see a analysis from a swedish band. Emmylou harris said this was emotional because she worked with Gram Parsons alot.
It was a lot more than that - she loved him.
@@vs52217 Love hurts
@@judyjudy51 Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars.
"Stockholm's cold, but I've been told
I was born to endure this kind of weather" - great!
I was one of those people who knew them first from the Fleet Foxes cover, which they posted on youtube a decade ago. It's been wonderful to see their well-deserved success since then
I'm the same! I saw the cover on their MySpace page and have been their fan since. Their songs have been the soundtrack of my life since. Shattered & Hollow came at just the right time. 😂
EMMYLOU HAS LAUNCHED ALOT OF CAREERS ,THE HOT BAND , AND HER ROSES IN THE SNOW , PUT RICKY SKAGGS OUT THERE, JAMES BURTON ,AND ALL THE PEOPLE FROM TONY RICE BAND , PLUS JON RANDLE, RODNEY CROWEL, GREAT ONE AGAIN FIL , THANKS
Fact!
Don't forget the Nash Ramblers.
Absolutely , Emmylou is legendary in multiple genres !
But Ricky Skaggs was already well know in Bluegrass from a young age , having played with Bill Monroe at 8yo . At one of my most memorable concerts in 1979 , Ricky Skaggs performed twice ; as a member of Buck White & the Downhome folks , and then with Emmylou .
I love it when you talk about technique! Breaking out your own guitar to show what is going on is AWESOME!
I’ve been playing for quite a while now, but in many respects I will always consider myself a “newb” . There’s so much to learn out there! Thanks, Fil, for continuously giving me “food for thought”.🤙
... This is a wonderful Analysis, Dr. Fil..... With First Aid Kit and this song, .... There IS so much going on with the dynamics , as you stated, I understand about that acoustic guitar, my daughter played acoustic, and I have a vintage Fender Acoustic. ....; I just love this song, and them paying tribute to Miss Emmy Lou, with her being right there, it's just wonderful. . .. and Miss Emmy Lous' reaction is heartwarming, how it affected her . . .
Loved this, and of course, Miss Emmy Lou has helped quite a few realize thier musical dreams.
I love Emmy Lou! I think as she has aged she gets more and more beautiful! Every woman yearns for beautiful gray hair like her. Such a distinct voice!!
I agree wholeheartedly. I've always thought she was beautiful both in voice and appearance. Her hair is lovely too as you mentioned
So glad she's being told how much her music still means to people around the world.
Thanks for this one Fil. This was the first time I discovered First Aid Kit. Being an Emmylou fan I will watch anything with her name attached to it. So thankful I did because now I absolutely love First Aid Kit. They are so talented and hopefully I will get to see them live one day.
Thanks for taking the time and my suggestion to watch this vid. It's the beauty of music and how a lot of the times the best people are interconnected or have worked together or have been majorly influenced by one another.
Thanks for this video, Fil. I am a big fan of First Aid Kit. This is a great song. It is so well crafted. This is one of my favorite bridges. So amazing. I'm glad you mentioned their blending of vocal registers. They do this on all their songs. Its purposeful and effective. Cheers.
Great that you found these girls! Have a look at them covering "America" with Paul Simon in the audience as Polar price winner 2012!
Fil, it’s wonderful to see you paying homage to this great group. July 2023, FAK just played Chicago this week. Super good show. This is one of their signature songs. Thank you for recognizing their skill and harmony. Emmylou Harris is my fav and I’ve watched this vid countless times, it ties my world of music up nicely. Emmylou weeps with joy. Touching.
Fil, thank you so much for analysing First Aid Kit. I only learned about them within the past year, and have become a diehard fan. A second analysis of some of their more recent music would be very welcome.
I’ve been waiting for this one ! Thanks so much for this Fil!
Just FYI to anyone watching, the sister with the blonde hair is a pretty mean bass player and plays most of the time in their live performances, so nice to see her belt it out in this video. So much passion. Their albums are great as well
This is how you do name-dropping -- gently, sweetly, and respectfully. Love these young women. Fil, thanks for your constant enthusiasm and tireless research into every artist and song you present!
Hey Fil! Love this video! Wonderful analysis my friend! Love how you were so specific mentioning the dynamics and breaking it all down showing us on the guitar! I understood exactly what you were explaining to us the whole time! The way you explain things in your videos is so clear and easy to understand! Thank you very much for that! I have learned more from you than I learned from my old high school music teacher! 😂😂😂 Much love and hugs to you Fil! Looking forward to the next video! ❤🖤❤🖤🙋♀️👌👌👍👍✌✌ 🤘ROCK🤘
If Fil was my teacher, I would have learned what to do to make music rather than to make people laugh. Now I tell people I was born with two left ears.
They are amazing... thanks for the analysis, I will look them up more, have not heard much from this duet... love this song by the way!!!
They are new to me Fil! But must say their voices are angelic and accompanied by amazing guitar and lap steel playing....totally brilliant! Great analysis Fil! Cheers Mario! 😀🤘👌
Those two beautiful songbirds made Emmylou cry, and I'm sure that's not easy to do. Thanks Fil. How about a review of Emmylou covering Chuck Berry's "C'est La Vie/You Never Can Tell" ? (The later version where she's rockin' it up)
I love that you give us so much facts about the artists. That’s why I subscribe. And also because you’re someone that knows not only, what you’re talking about - but also are a musician self.
This is really extraordinary,thank you for this and a live lesson too,love your channel Fil......ROCK
Hi Fil! What beautiful voices! Emmylou must have been so touched to get that dedication! This was a new group to me, and I am glad I was introduced to these talented sisters! When I first realized I could sing was when my older sister, and I joined together to sing Tonight You Belong to Me...I say this because there was something special about the way our voices blended! I loved the way that the one sister had that Emmylou sound! Thanks Fil!
I stumbled on this a couple years ago. Have stumbled back several times since.
Hi, Fil I liked the fact that you actually explained the video with a musical instrument this time, Great idea I hope you will use it more often.
That finger style picking, with the dynamics - faultlessly with so much on the line. You can hear every note - anything out of place and it will glare. Just focused and beautiful
Thank you Fil. When i first heard this duet i was so touched by their gift for songwriting. Heartfelt songs are so rare. They are capable through lots of practice and maybe genetics of such exquisite harmonies too! Really appreciate you covering the skills. As a fingerpicker i love hearing it carried forward.
Love Emmylou ❤ especially her work with The Band doing Evangeline on The Last Waltz concert !
Request: The Band & Emmylou Harris playing Evangeline from The Last Waltz concert ( A true Classic )
You need to follow up this with that one from 40+ years ago !
Thank you Fil for the great video 😎🎸 Now let's hear from a young Emmylou
😇🎙 It's such a great song and Emmylou really shines & The Band is awesome as usual !
& Speaking of The Band !
You have got to do............
The Night They Drove Ole Dixie Down
( & ) The Weight
Two tremendous songs in music history !
I still can't figure why they still can't get the love that they
truly deserve ! Well I've been at it for years I'm not giving up now ✌😎
Come-on fans of The Band & The Last Waltz.... they need our help 😉
Thank you for your time & sorry for the mega post !
Absolutely.
Agree also. Two classic songs. I also liked Robbie Robertson's solo work like Showdown at Big Sky: ua-cam.com/video/3u7UZPxu7H0/v-deo.html
The performance of The Weight on The Last Waltz is utterly blissful to listen to, truly a tremendous song!
Oh cool! Love these girls! Their harmonies are heart-melting! Thanks Fil! 🤘
Watched your two reactions videos and it nice to see you do have The spark✨
Thank you for all the videos
Excellent analysis. And thank you for going into their back story. I didn't know much of it. So cheers. 🙂
Just had to revisit, same chill bumps right at the very second it started. 💖💖
You made me go on a hunt for more of these ladies after this analysis, Fil. Wow, they are really good. You're right about genetics - their voices blend so well it's intoxicating. Great analysis - especially love when you pull out the guitar!
They made Emmylou cry! Graham Parsons was a huge influence for her, and the love of her life.
They made Patti Smith cry, and rocked Paul Simon.
Very true. That's Gram (short for Ingram).
Wonderfully done with this analyses! And nice to hear about the background story of First Aid Kit. Thanks!
Thanks Fil. Already captivated by First Aid Kit, however, had mostly attributed their greatness to familial harmonies similar to Everleys, Louvins, Wilson brothers, etc. Your analysis of Clara’s fingerpicking opens up a whole new aspect of their brilliance. Thank you.
Great job as always fil , long overdue this one , nice one mate
To have that talent is something I would never take for granted. A love for the instrument to keep playing until you like the sound you make. A soft sound even with the drums. I enjoy Emmylou's duets with other singers. Graham Parsons and Don Williams. I have Graham Parsons on the Cowgirl of the Rodeo Byrd album and I bought another copy because I wore the first won out. Nice that you bring to light good musicians that might be liked if people heard of them. Thank you
Sweetheart of the Rodeo.
That's Gram (short for Ingram),
Nice gesture by the sisters. Nice song and I love Emmy Lou. Nice demonstration on the picking Fil.
As I've said before I'm so glad I stumbled on you and your channel and what you do so well.
what you would be tremendous at is being a judge on a music competition type show= where the contestants would come by way of FULL bands!! so you could critique the musicians as well that would be awesome God bless you from your friend Terry from the KY which means Kentucky lol
We could call it Britians Got Humanity, a Kind Word and Respect for Fellow Musicians. BGHKWRFFM
A bit clunky but Fil wears many hats.
@@lawrencetaylor4101 that sounds good The only exception is I would love to see the competition being in the United States. Me= myself being a little selfish I guess? LOL
Thank you for demonstrating the technique being used; I always find this easier for me to understand exactly what is being explained.
So glad you chose to analyze First Aid Kit! I love their song 'Cedar Lane'.
Fricking amazing writing, amazing vocals, beautiful slide, finger picking 👏👏👏👏damn this is so beautiful…..Keith I’m sure would really love this…..Gram lives on 😎🥂
What a fantastic analys and also presentation of First Aid Kit! 👏👏👏
Enjoyable performance! love your fingerstyle guitar demonstration! my time on your channel is always enjoyable as well as educational. thanks Fil.
Excellent stuf! So informative and interesting throughout the whole video!
Stunning group, I love their music.
Nice to see you enjoy their music dude.
Thanks, Fil for introfucing me to First Aid Kit, and pointing out so many nuances and style of this performance. I also appreciateb their hard won climbninto notoriety and success!
Oh how sweet and oh so good! Love your analysis. You know Fil I always wanted to learn how to play the piano but thought I would go thru life thinking it was just a thought. You have infuenced me and got me so excited about music so much that I'm thinking of buying a keyboard & learn what I can. I am not musically inclined ( lol ) but at least I will have tried and enjoy and have fun with it. Thank you for that! love ya👏😍😘💕🤗
Emmylou has played on so many of the albums that I had bought with her collaborations and influences. What a great lady.
And I haven't heard of this band but was impressed. To see them move Emmylou to tears like that was more than emotional. And you highlighted their talent and showed me something I didn't know about music which is your talent. See you at tne next one. For Sure.
Lawrence Taylor , search Emmylou Collaborations, it’s done A to Z ,she even sang with Warren Zevon. she must be one of the most collaborated with artists, Fil mentioned Bright Eyes. Emmy sang on their album I’m Wide Awake It’s Morning,☘️☘️☘️
Emmy Lou and MK's album 'Real Live road Running' is one of my favourites. Their finale performance in LA after their tour ends is unbelievable.
Love that album
Mark Knofler is quite a smooth player all stripped down. Have you heard the song Pockets he does with a young Canadian singer. It’s very good.
@@waynethera2712Ruth moody. Good song
Thanks Fil. This was nice to see again. Clara sounds like the singer from the opening song to The Long Dark: Wintermute. Just watched the Patti Smith cover of Dancing Barefoot from 2011. Very good performance.
Love you Emmylou. Rest in peace Gram, June, and Jonny.
Make me an angel who flies from Montgomery. John Prine wrote but their duet made it Emmy Lou's. Her old man was Gram Parsons. You could write a book on him from getting tossed out of Keith and Anita's house for being too stoned. (How stoned do you have to be to get kicked out of Keith Richards' place?) To saving country music by influencing groups like the Stones to do Sweet Virginia for example. She is one of the prime forces behind Hardly, Stickley, Bluegrass held annually in Golden Gate Park with three days and seven stages and free admission. This draws 120,000 every year. I, like many, consider her a saint.
Fil.......based on your enthusiasm for educating the public at large and the support you give artists, you could easily head the Ministry of Arts & Culture of any country in the world if you ever wanted to do anything else.
Hi Fil sorry I have fallen behind on your tapes. Just thought I would catch up. That was some of the best Country music I have heard in a long while. Great video as always ! Keep up the great work. You are a great teacher
A great song and you can see Emmylou approves in the end. Thanks for sharing Fil and a great analysis as always.
Great info - knew their vocals where fantastic but wasn´t aware of the technical skills of the guitarplaying. Thx mate! Love and respect from Sweden :)
Linda led me to Emmylou and then decades later to this wonderful song and thanks for your input Fil 👏👏👏serendipity of life and UA-cam 😎👍🏻
So glad someone else picked up on Klara's skills. I'm an advanced player and matching her precision, rock-steady technique and clarity is challenging. She obvi worked long and hard to get there. Respect 💪
Love your analyses! Keep it Up!!!
Just want to say Fil, your analysis here was most enjoyable, much like the song itself. ROCK ON!
What a beautiful song and tribute to Emmylou and June Carter and Johnny Cash, I love this style of music! Nice of you to demonstrate the right-hand fingering Fil.
And to Gram Parsons, a truly incandescent talent himself.
I never get tired of First Aid Kit.
Good analysis _and_ demo, Fil. Just bought that track on iTunes.
I’m a 60’s and 70’s kind of guy and I struggle with music today as it very rarely has any emotional effect on me but these two girls are right up there in every way and only proves to me there are a lot of good musicians and songwriters out there today but unfortunately very few really great ones.
There are only ever a few really great ones every generation. FAK's generation is no different. Neither will be the one that comes after them. Or the one after that. If anyone could do it it wouldn't be special, would it?
Such a lovely tribute. When you were playing that G B pattern, it sounded beautiful. When I tried to learn guitar, a neighbour taught me a pattern, and .i loved the sound. I found it an almost zen thing, and played it all the time. But my teacher insisted I use a pick.😊
These videos are great.
These girls are a real talent.
Glad you have done this analogy of First Aid Kit. I suggested them some years back. I like to renew my request to review the 1957 CBS broadcast of Billie Holiday performing Fine and Mellow with a line up of the jazz great. If you do this one then select the one with a short introduction by Mike Wallace. Thanks. :)
Brilliant analysis! Appreciate your insights for one of my lefaivorite songs of all time 💜 saw them in Seattle in 2014 or so at the Neptune, wonderful experience!
If I could only add a heart to yours ❤️~>💜 😄
🧡 thank’s for this interesting explanation about Emmylou & FAK meeting this amazing night.
EL as emotional as I was first time I heard it. FAK is from Sweden...so I’m I.
Love them🧡
Excellent review Fill. I learn much from you.
Dropping my suggestion for Shakey Graves Audiotree version of “Roll the bones”! Love your work Fil!
Never disappointing... thank you Fil. 👍
Always look forward to the Fil show. University of Wings.....Rocked
Excellent reaction. Really enjoyed it.
I LOVE First Aid Kit!!!
Its like they have mental connection together they are so in sync its crazy.
I love First Aid Kit's cover of 'Waterloo Sunset'.
I love this video! FAK are sooooooo good.
This song about
Johnny Cash & June Carter,
Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris
is as good a tribute as I’ve heard
10 / 10
Karin and Olof Dreijer is maybe two of the most underestimated artists in the world imo.. They started 'The Knife'. You don't recognize the name? Try listen to the top 10 on Spotify and I can almost promise you've heard one of their songs somewhere. Like 'Heartbeats', 'Pass This On', 'Silent Shout', 'We Share Our Mothers' Health'..
Btw, I didn't know it was Karin who signed them! She's smart 😁
This was pretty,thank you. 🤘.❤️
