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.
@@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
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.
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.
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.
The kid captures the lonesomeness and frustrations of boyhood adolescences paired with a beautiful and talented young woman. I know it all too well. Cool vid.
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 😊
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.
Same! I only knew their songs after their smash hit Lovefool, but he showed some songs of their before the hit and now I realized I really like them lol
Same here! I didn't know they were THIS good & when I heard this song playing, I went to find more of their music, randomly clicked this one, & it was the song I was looking for!
Fuck - were they great in the 90's.... When they played LIVE here in small Clubs, they always allowed me to have a Drink with them backstage... :) (Pat, Switzerland)
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.
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)
46 yr old tears for 16 yr old "charms". How can the song still apply? and describe the same feelings and "symptoms so deep"? ..."so spare me if you please"...
I've always loved their music. Since the first time I heard this song. Then I watched the videoclip and found out I had a crush on Nina. I was 15 or 16 back in the days... I still think their songs are awesome.
"Ah, the instrumentation in this song is nice". The first impression I had about this song more than twenty years ago, and I still am thinking that the instrumentation is so nice.
Sick, tired and homeless With no one here to sing for Tired of being weightless For all these looking good boys [Chorus] You can always say my attic has its charm You can always say you did no major harm You can always say that summer had its charm And that you did no major harm Oh, spare me if you please [Verse 2] Sick, tired and sleepless With no one else to shine for Sick of all my distress But I won't show I'm still poor [Chorus] You can always say my attic has its charm You can always say you did no major harm You can always say that summer had its charm And that you did no major harm Oh, spare me if you please
I wish I had been born in the late 70s or something, so I could have enjoyed this music as it was coming out. I’m sure I would have had a major crush on Nina.
Cardigans is a 90's band, they only use that 70's aestetics and only on that phase actually, if you look for other albuns you will find that there visuals and sound differ album to album
Leandro Martins you misunderstood my comment. I was saying I would have liked to have been born in the late 70s, so that I could be the right age to enjoy this music when it came out. I was only 6 when this came out.
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. And Volvo and The Cardigans are the best things that has came from sweden ever.
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!
Cardigans are the kind of band that only listeners with great taste and high cultural level can understand, relate to, and enjoy. The sounds of 'Sick And Tired' are a symphony of harmony and beauty at many levels.

The most underrated band on the moon
That flute is genius
bro there is a fuckign flute harmonizing with the guitar solo this band is so goddamn dope
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
Lucky you did they sing this Song?

They’re not rock
@@bigpulgalokes Not even Soft Rock?
@@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
@@bigpulgalokes Guitar, Bass, and Drums. That's rock. Soft rock, but still rock.
Also, they played live shows without a backing track.
It reminds of, like, mixing they did for old mono songs that were remastered for stereo, it gives them a very classic Americana feel.
Big props to the nameless SponsorBlock user who tagged the shot with the bassoon player as a highlight.
This 70's aesthetic in the 90's is fucking key!!!!
I would say 60s but yes you are right
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.
Same here . I'm amazed how good was their music and accomplished musicians.
This band is so indelibly underrated.
Justin Greene
The first two albums were great.
After that, just average.
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.
Justin Greene they’re underrated but it’s not indelible.
I listen to this song since last summer and it never gets old, they are incredible
"Indelibly underrated"? Dude, I think your English is overrated.
All hail the bassoon!
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.
grmpf That goes for a lot of rock bands that include random horn sections in their tracks.

@@grmpfwhat’s a bassoon?
Metal without distortion sounds like this . It's metal song.

a soundtrack for mid-century modern aesthetic lovers.
I was surprised the first time I heard the sound of the Cardigans (Tamborine Studio). These Swedes made a unique analog sound in the 90's.
Thank you so much Todd in the Shadows
Same! I only knew their songs after their smash hit Lovefool, but he showed some songs of their before the hit and now I realized I really like them lol

Best looking band ever
One of the coolest bands ever
Nina Persson 😍😍
I love her voices so much when i was15,now i am 36,I still listen to her .
Same for me.... except i stopped listening to cardigans since im 31... im married and cardigans always reminds me of my ex hehahahah
Now 37 ;)
@@MrANDROYDE 48 I beat you all. Ha!
16 was the start. 38 now :)
Same !
One of their best songs for sure.
I loved the cardigans music perfect for morning listening while doing house chores
Directly added to a playlist name "music to mop floors" 😁
Only the few with wisdom can appreciate the underappreciated music from this girl and band.
This song is so much better than Lovefool I swear
Lovefool is average. Almost all of their songs are better than Lovefool.
So this is what an anime opening would sound if produced in Sweden.
Unspeakably beautiful. Eldritch good.
Hola gente AGUANTE DE THE CARDIGANS ) seguidor desde la decada de los 90 Y Nina Obio UNA genia " SALUDOS desde Argentina zona sur ! ..
OAAAA vamosss otro Argentino que ama esta banda! ❤🇦🇷
これなんだよな〜！！！！
染みる。
今、日本で聞いてるの俺くらいやろ？
All these songs are killer
Nina: Pure vision of beauty!
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👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Musicians and people who have ears appreciate this
She is such a goddess..
I love their music..they are not a one hit wonder...
This song is beautiful still sounds great 2023
Great song. The ironic postmodern sound of the 90s.
OMG I love your voice Nina Pearson, and your group the Cardigans are superb, and Nina, you are so beautiful ❣️
The 70's are back???
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCHHH!!!
Fuck - were they great in the 90's....
When they played LIVE here in small Clubs, they always allowed me to have a Drink with them backstage... :)
(Pat, Switzerland)
That´s great, I would love meet them in person someday, but even if I don´t, The Cardigans shall be always in my mind and heart
nice
The whole album its delicious
Quite a pleasant chord progression, politely delivered, almost in a perfumed envelope. I enjoy this very much.
Great drums also (as always)
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.
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!
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.

(i recorded albums back in 1999 and 2000 I know the technical issues they were up against)
I do know about guitars. I love it too.

First time hear this song. I love this voice, so cute and lovely.
I've always loved this song. So melodic, lovely chord changes ,cool retro easy listening vibe with the flute part. Great pop songwriting.
It's is a coin flip between this and paralysed as my favourite Cardigans song.
"Ah, the instrumentation in this song is nice". The first impression I had about this song more than twenty years ago, and I still am thinking that the instrumentation is so nice.
This is the song that caught me and got me hooked on the Cardigans.
今日FM802で聴いてめっちゃ気になって辿り着きました❗
めっちゃ良い❗
切なさと繊細さ、何とも言えない綺麗なメロディがオラを鷲掴みにしてんだ(≧∇≦)
Ну я не сказал бы!
*Mark and Lard* - '95 to '97 - What a time to have a radio and be allowed to stay up after 10pm
Underrated song by The Cardigans.
And then I just fall deeply in love..
underrated gem
This could be a Persona Battle Theme
This song reminds me of my freshman year in 1996.
I can't stop listen to this song :3
Dasthz i can't stop listening to all their songs.
Yeah, me too!
Dasthz yo tampoco puedo
Love the band - diverse, smooth + excellent musicians, hooks, sounds
Bring me back my 2009! It was the year for me to discover their music. And it still sounds so nostalgic for me.
Beautiful Nina Persson
i love "life" this album... it's so sweet.
Will always come back to The Cardigans
I wanted the cardigans to stay together, because they inspire so much.
Pop masterpiece.
This kind of music is perfect while doing housechores in the morning.
голос, как у кошечки😊 мяу.. очень мягкий😊
Still brilliant after twenty five years.
First three albums were amazing.
Sick, tired and homeless
With no one here to sing for
Tired of being weightless
For all these looking good boys
[Chorus]
You can always say my attic has its charm
You can always say you did no major harm
You can always say that summer had its charm
And that you did no major harm
Oh, spare me if you please
[Verse 2]
Sick, tired and sleepless
With no one else to shine for
Sick of all my distress
But I won't show I'm still poor
[Chorus]
You can always say my attic has its charm
You can always say you did no major harm
You can always say that summer had its charm
And that you did no major harm
Oh, spare me if you please
underrated everything
Nina persson❤🎉❤🎉❤😮😊.
Nina's voice so cute
This will always be how I think of Nina.
forgot that this is an actual banger
They're so good. Times like this we need more music like this
Can't take this anymore.
Until tomorrow, goodbye.
Cardigans and Cranberries at the top! 🎙💕
Was listening to Cranberries, then Cardigans sounded like a perfect sequence..
very nice, both bands are representatives of innocence
One of - if not *the* - best tracks of 1994.
I wish I had been born in the late 70s or something, so I could have enjoyed this music as it was coming out. I’m sure I would have had a major crush on Nina.

@Chilly chilly ice milk Their loss...the 90's was one of the best decades for music!
First time I've heard The Cardigans today they are great and I love the car.
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. And Volvo and The Cardigans are the best things that has came from sweden ever.
i mean ikea has also decorated many a homes especially of young people just starting out
I used to own a SAAB one of my favourite cars , shame there not there anymore :(
Erm...ABBA, anyone?... (and I quite like their meatballs as well...)
I Like It. Somewhere here in time the magic of the guitarist appears, he is inventive.
one of my favourite songs ever 😍
Big love for this song - one of the most melodious pop/rock/indie songs ever made!
I will forever listen to this song.

Long gone and super extra are for a very different audience. It’s not that they’re not good, they’re just not my thing. I get it totally
So good nostalgic mood! My favourite period of the Cardigans!

완벽히 공감해!!
not true. I am retarded and I like the cardigans
My favorite song since 1997 - cykinsoo, Malaysia.
11 years old my daughter’s favorite song. And me, too.
Ones of my favourite songs
I still remember sitting in front of MTV, waiting for this song to be played... in late 1995
este grupo es muy bueno pareciera que sus canciones son hechas para Wes Anderson al escuchar su musica las relaciono con sus peliculas

You can always say you did no major harm
You can always say that summer had its charm
And that you did no major harm
Oh, spare me if you please

And that you did no major harm
You can always say that
You can always say that
Oh, spare me if you please
Symptoms are so deep
Something here's so wrong
Nothing is complete
Nowhere to belong
Symptoms are so deep
I think I'd better stay
Here on my own
So spare me if you please
I really love this album
life is best album... those song so sweet
Beautiful.
