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)
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.
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.
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
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.
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! 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!
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.
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)
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.
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"...
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.
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)
Great under rated song,great under rated band,I hope they are doing well we all love you for giving us good music and giving us hope during this unusual time!!!?
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.
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.
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.
The most underrated band on the moon

This band is so indelibly underrated.
Justin Greene
The first two albums were great.
After that, just average.

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.

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.
bro there is a fuckign flute harmonizing with the guitar solo this band is so goddamn dope
Ok, but please stop the "bro" thing.
@@kattihatt ? what do you mean
@@epicjesuschrist6830 bro?
@@kattihatt why bro

That flute is genius
Everlasting song of Swedish Pop Band ever
Big props to the nameless SponsorBlock user who tagged the shot with the bassoon player as a highlight.
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?
I'll never get sick and tired of the cardigans
This 70's aesthetic in the 90's is fucking key!!!!
I would say 60s but yes you are right
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.

Same here . I'm amazed how good was their music and accomplished musicians.
Nobody has ever done, nor will do anything like the Cardigans. They're untouchable
Metal without distortion sounds like this . It's metal song.
a metal song, but with Bassoon.
One of their best songs for sure.
Thank you so much Todd in the Shadows

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.
One of the best bands of the 90s for me
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 😊

a soundtrack for mid-century modern aesthetic lovers.
Hers voice color have its charm.
She is such a goddess..
I love their music..they are not a one hit wonder...
I loved the cardigans music perfect for morning listening while doing house chores
Directly added to a playlist name "music to mop floors" 😁
This song is so much better than Lovefool I swear
Lovefool is average. Almost all of their songs are better than Lovefool.
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! ❤🇦🇷
Nina: Pure vision of beauty!
One of the coolest bands ever
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.
The whole album its delicious
Musicians and people who have ears appreciate this
I've always loved this song. So melodic, lovely chord changes ,cool retro easy listening vibe with the flute part. Great pop songwriting.
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👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Best looking band ever
First time hear this song. I love this voice, so cute and lovely.

Unspeakably beautiful. Eldritch good.
OMG I love your voice Nina Pearson, and your group the Cardigans are superb, and Nina, you are so beautiful ❣️

This song is beautiful still sounds great 2023
This is the song that caught me and got me hooked on the Cardigans.
Only the few with wisdom can appreciate the underappreciated music from this girl and band.
Bring me back my 2009! It was the year for me to discover their music. And it still sounds so nostalgic for me.
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.
완벽히 공감해!!
not true. I am retarded and I like the cardigans
Love the band - diverse, smooth + excellent musicians, hooks, sounds
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
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... :)

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
So this is what an anime opening would sound if produced in Sweden.
*Mark and Lard* - '95 to '97 - What a time to have a radio and be allowed to stay up after 10pm
All time crush...
It's is a coin flip between this and paralysed as my favourite Cardigans song.
When I first time heard it, I barely know English, but, fall in love with it from first sight.
Still brilliant after twenty five years.
First three albums were amazing.
All these songs are killer
Underrated song by The Cardigans.
Was that a bassoon?, wow they are straight up gangsta.
Northern rock sound is cool and nice✨✨💓💓💐💐
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!
ヒロTやろ？
First time I've heard The Cardigans today they are great and I love the car.
Nina Persson 😍😍
i love "life" this album... it's so sweet.
I Like It. Somewhere here in time the magic of the guitarist appears, he is inventive.
Understated and charming
underrated gem
I wanted the cardigans to stay together, because they inspire so much.
Beautiful Nina Persson
My favorite song since 1997 - cykinsoo, Malaysia.
Like the way Nina did those
Will always come back to The Cardigans
What a beautiful song...!
They're so good. Times like this we need more music like this
Big love for this song - one of the most melodious pop/rock/indie songs ever made!
Great under rated song,great under rated band,I hope they are doing well we all love you for giving us good music and giving us hope during this unusual time!!!?
So good nostalgic mood! My favourite period of the Cardigans!
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...)
The Guitar solo is the best. I Love this song.

This kind of music is perfect while doing housechores in the morning.

Great song. The ironic postmodern sound of the 90s.
The best Cardingans record, and great song
it makes me feel good and relaxed. especially, her voice is very awesome.... lol
este grupo es muy bueno pareciera que sus canciones son hechas para Wes Anderson al escuchar su musica las relaciono con sus peliculas
I still remember sitting in front of MTV, waiting for this song to be played... in late 1995
Audiophiles love it!
I always get my audio right with this song!
That bassoon...
after all these years.... best band of the 90's!
Ones of my favourite songs
