Here’s what I can’t understand: These two sisters from Sweden, too young to remember Kenny Rogers or Emmylou Harris in their respective heydays, understand on a cellular level the essence of American country music better than most Americans do. How the HELL is that possible? (Not that I’m complaining...please, ladies, keep up the good work.)
Absolutely goosebump inducing! Wonderful!
+Geoff Lilley In an interview with Rolling Stone, Klara and Johanna listed that one of their major musical influences was the original Carter Family. Anyone that familiar with the Carter Family will have a firm, deep, instinctual level of feeling and understanding about American Music, Folk, Country and otherwise!
No way they did a terrible version. The way they are singing it is too soft and mushy. This isn't a love song it's a story about a gambler. This is awful and they keep singing ahead of the music. Lol
Spot on.
ass hat
Amazing. I wish they'd make a CD of their covers. They're all so amazing.
gimme an lp rather
Hell yeah. I'm a bit old school, I'd rather a DVD of their covers and their own material. No offence to UA-cam or anyone else. At least then I've got it forever.
Sweden:
"What music is the very essence of your country?"
"Thanks. Now watch us cover it in a way that is both completely new and faithful to the original."
Another marvelous cover by the Söderberg sisters. Only God knows how many jewels they have in their pockets. Have all their albums and had the pleasure to see them in concert in a small club in Hamburg twice. First time, it was a cold evening in September 2012 , I was waiting togheter with a friend in front of the venue, about two hours before the show, hoping to get the opportunity to talk to them, as suddenly Klara and Johanna rushed out of the main entrance, followed by their father and the drummer. They were only 10 feet away from us but we were both too starstruck to say anything and so they dissapeared into the dark. On one hand it was a sad moment because we missed the chance to talk to them on the other hand we can still laugh about the fact that two die hard Springsteen and Dylan fans became totally speechless in the presence of these young ladys. Anyway, as long as we all are patiently waiting for the new album and hopefully for a tour, we can count ourselves lucky that the girls provide us with such excellent covers like this.
Dirty Harry,
And you didn't expect the father ofcourse ....-;)
LOL ;)
I had a similar experience in November 2012 at The Ritz in Manchester. I was watching their support act and someone stood next to me. It took me a while to realise it was Klara. I was completely star struck. Someone dragged her away for a photo but she came back. I eventually plucked up the courage to ask for an autograph on my ticket stub, realised I had no pen but managed borrowed one...I felt an absolute idiot but she was utterly charming
I liked Avicii!
I seriously get goose bumps every single time I listen to these ladies.
Despite their beautiful individual voices, for me the song starts with their harmonies, at "if you're gonna play the game, boy". Rest in peace, Kenneth Ray Rogers.
I’m sure they would bring a tear to Kenny’s eyes. These very talented girls never cease to amaze me! Another gem here.
I dont know what fairy dust was sprayed on them at birth but they have magic in those voices, karma, talent, sensitivity...who knows? Brilliant comes in many forms !
Must admit it's a pretty talented bunch of performers on stage. The band and the girls has only rehearsed this for a couple of hours since it's a one off in a TV game show. The tucked in song in the beginning is part of the quiz.
I have loved this song as long as I can remember....40plus years lol! I follow First Aid Kit, obviously. I appreciate their unique style and clever lyrics! When they started singing THE GAMBLER, I started sobbing and could not stop through out the entire song. The ladies out did themselves! I am sure Kenny is proud!
Soft cock
Two angels singing,just one amazing performance,I really like this cover:)
You can see the joy upon nailing the final harmony
So I stumbled on these girls two nights ago. And haven't stopped clicking on video after video. I love the original, but damn this is awesome!
Todd Taylor They need to do a half-time show for a Gators game and the National Championship game. These ladies are tops.
Wish these beautiful and talented ladies would record a set of albums of all the cover songs they have ever recorded. Their incredible interpretation of the originals is really outstanding and their haunting harmonies are beyond compare.
I loved these 2 before I even knew this existed. Now I love them even more. I love this song
Has Kenny Rodgers seen this? Man these girls are amazing at doing this cover
Such a fantastic cover. I remember listening to the original when I was about six on my dads radio. Couple of years ago I heard this cover. Simply fantastic🐺👍
Marvelous cover. Well done on so many fronts. You brought your own magic to this classic. Hats off. Lovely.
I can never get enough of this version, so brilliant and catchy!
The harmonizing at the end is spot on - damn, they're good!
At the beginning, I was humming "Can't read my, can't read my poker face"...
its lady gaga - poker face in the beginning :)

This is a swedish quiz program where the participants answer questions based on geographic locations. Before they began to sing there were a question to these song, about something that had a connection to that geographic location and song :)
Cathy Baumbusch mind blown
Just found this searching covers... I cried! Such an exquiste rendition! 45 year old man in the States no longer united...
Music tells us that there is God!
Hors later found Paddy's cover...exquisite... But these girls kill me softly...
The harmonies are heavenly.
I can restart this song a hundred thousand times, right as the host sagt deinem spielen... And get goosebumps at different points each and every restart..
Talent, edge and grace and all without the controversy and tackiness of many acts today.
I love these two girls. Fantastic voices, and understand the music from years ago has influenced them. Pure class.
Oh your lord ! They did , and will keep doing it again !!wow
Can’t believe I’ve never heard before. These sisters are amazing! I’ll be in Germany next year and would love to see them in concert.
Amazingly beautiful.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
First Aid Kit + Augustifamiljen = fulländning!
brilliant.. simply brilliant. I lack words strong enough to express the magic that is First aid kit
OMG indeed - great singing and fantastic backing band also !
These girls, such beautiful talented girls.
Amazing voices of these two young ladies!
chills, takes me back to the roller rink, these girls rock my world
these 2 young ladies are so good that a tune like this one by Kenny Rogers, which I personally can't stand, sounds good when performed by these 2 talented women. I've seen them perform Emmy Lou to Led Zeppelin and all I can say is BRAVO!!!!
I love their harmonies...
Can't stop listening to this :)))
Det här måste upp på Spotify bara, helt fantastiskt!
Pure star quality. Perfection.
Klara reminds me of a young Linda Ronstadt. If there were a movie of Linda’s life she could play the part.
Perhaps they should look into the songs of Warren Zevon. They might do them some justice....
@@Voelund That's a great idea for sure.
LOVE their sound!!!
These two are THE BOMB
Such incredible voices...
Brilliant and this isn't easy to pull off and you've done it.
These ladies were excellent, as was the whole episode.
I have just discovered a new great band ! Thanks to Yourtube !
These girls!! O My god, Love them
Wow these sisters are very good. Beautiful harmonies
That's a really great interpretation and performance of this song!
On a warm summer's evening
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with a gambler
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns a-starin'
Out the window at the darkness
The boredom overtook us
And he began to speak
He said, "Son, I've made a life
Out of readin' people's faces
And knowin' what the cards were
By the way they held their eyes.
So if you don't mind my sayin'
I can see you're out of aces
For a taste of your whiskey
I'll give you some advice."
So I handed him my bottle
And he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette
And asked me for a light
And the night got deathly quiet
And his face lost all expression
Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy,
You gotta learn to play it right.
You got to know when to hold 'em,
Know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away,
And know when to run.
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealing's done.
Every gambler knows
That the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
And knowin' what to keep.
'Cause every hand's a winner,
And every hand's a loser,
And the best that you can hope for
Is to die in your sleep."
And when he finished speakin'
He turned back toward the window
Crushed out his cigarette
And faded off to sleep
And somewhere in the darkness
The gambler he broke even
And in his final words
I found an ace that I could keep
Beautiful song and beautiful singers 😍
lindooooooooo, 10.5 out of 10. marveloous cover. congratulations. what a beatiful voices
Regardless of their accent or elocution, their harmonies are divine.
I loved ths song when I was a little girl. Kenny Rogers had such a smooth voice. hehethe movie made him loveable. Good flick
In Eric Cartmans voice, "popopo poker face popo poker face, nananana." I love the whole performance especially the intro.
RIP Kenny Rogers. Long live Kenny Rogers.
yes he picked a fine time to leave us...

Kenny Rogers had to of loved this... I want some roasted chicken now... made me think of his old fast food chain in the 90's...

Thank you Patrik for your continuing sending videos of FAK :) they are the best vocals now comparing with the old ones in the -70 plus -80 ths...
Damn !!
Damn !!!
Damn !!!
Priceless
Fist Aid Kit blew this one out of the park. Kenny Loggins would be so proud.
Ett extra plus till Augustifamiljen som gör ett grymt jobb som husband i På Spåret!
Joakim Ekström Extrapolis?
John Henry Jones Plus skulle d ju vara. Tack!
Amazing cover. Absolutely my favorite now
You can tell Johanna took the lead in this, finally
And an absolutely FAKtastic job she did!!!!!👏👏👏
Amazing singers and band.
Master performance by two genius 🤘
Wow!
This passed the vibe check
New fan from the US
Magnificent ladies🙌🏻❤️
Please cover Bridge over troubled water & the Boxer.
Yess!! I’d be so overwhelmed to hear them sing those songs 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I love the 'poker face' intro. It's so apt for this track.
It’s often part of the music quiz questions in this game show - what other song has been weaved in, either as an intro or bridge.
Love it!
Well l think these two are great... I hope they come to Manchester UK...
They’ve been several times! Last time earlier this year....
beautiful voice
Some songs are pointless to cover....Bohemian Rhapsody, Billy Jean.....they are too iconic to bother. The Gambler shouldn't be covered, there is no point, Kenny was a master and this was his masterpiece......but....I have to admit...these lovely ladies get a pass. This is a great cover and they perfectly incorporate their style and sound into it, and somehow without detracting from the original by Kenny. This is a perfect cover. It honors the original and melds their talent flawlessly. Bravo!
Chris Cornell's Billie Jean is superb.
Angelina Jordan did a pretty cool cover of Bohemian rhapsody.
Just blooming brilliant.
I löve this. See that o? Made it Swedish
Tack! Lägg gärna till den andra låten också!
Beautiful
Love the harmonizing!!
Acapella eargasm starts at 2:44
Johanna är en av få i världshistorien som lyckas få sån där byxor att se bra ut.
Eller så blir jag bara förtrollad av talangen som vanligt :-)
Hot damn, that's ASTOUNDING
'Scuse my language but i fucking love these girls!
Who taught Tom Waites how to play drums?
Their vocal tone would be perfect for a Gordon Lightfoot cover...the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald would be haunting as fuck with them singing it...
Que bueno cover de este grupo musical, excelente.
Beautiful and captivating
Beautiful cover✔
Magnificent. Taffy. Tenby, Wales.
I like the Jewish looking guy in the band at the back playing the dried beans inside an empty eggshell.
He was like "hey can I be in the band?"
They was like "yea sure what you play?"
He was like "ya know I play the bean egg"
They was like....."sure just the sound we needed"
