I am 70 yrs old and this song was on a Spotify playlist. I was convinced it was a duet with Adele and a.n.other. Had to Google the lyrics to find them, now I can't stop playing it. Never too old to enjoy beautiful new music. thanks ladies.
God bless you.
You’re so lovely ❤️
Your comment is so refreshing. I have always been annoyed by people who need to refer to a time that has already gone in order to bring any positive thought to their mind. I am a truly nostalgic person but I am also aware that not everything should be kept like "back in the days". I am half your age and an absolute fan of music of now, then, and still to come. I can perfectly imagine myself turning 70 and falling in love with some random song of the 2050's. Enjoy your music!
Hi 70 yrs old
how dare you comapre them to adele! they are much better ^^
Am 72 years old just found these girls on U tube just can't stop watching cheers from western Australia you lovely things
hi don, im 42
I'm 25 and I think my true people are above 65 years old 😒 no one shares my interests like people above 65.. What the heck?
Francisco Rodrigues I’m 17 and love first aid kit 😂
Jinga Joong thats awesome! I hope to go to one of their concerts if/when they come to London :)
❤
Can’t understand why they aren’t more recognised as I am totally floored by their beautiful harmonies time and time again x
I totally understand what you mean. I have made my mission to introduce their music to everyone I meet or have known. I feel that their music is that beautiful and important.
Because they celebrate nostalgia
i wish i could go to scandanavia to see them and a number of people from norway. the other musicians from norway sing in norweigen. odd nordstrom and ingborg bratland. the best new sounds today are coming from scandanavia
Possibly because they haven't sold out to Freemasons/ Illuminati Satanist cabal who control Hollyweird, incl the Mainstream music charts - and control which singers etc can "go global".
@@solarisx444 it's too far fetched to believe that there's a organization which decides who can go famous and who can't i think its just a matter of chances
This duo is so underrated. What a great song.
The most criminally underrated band ever. Had they been 20 years older and came out in the 90s, they'd have multiple diamond albums.
Can't wait for a new album to come out.
they'll get there, no doubt
Omg I just love everything they have made. Emmylou is such a good one and their remakes of Red Dirt Girl and America. You are so so right. CRIMINALLY underrated.
I've never heard of these girls, but I saw it in recommended and clicked on a whim. Now I'm crying and I don't know how I ever existed without them.
Chantel O'Farrell o
Patience.......they are pointing the way to your destiny.

They’re amazing aren’t they?
Silver linings is brilliant too xx
This song reminds me of something that hasn't happened yet.
Two Too To Productions i know this feeling.
Wait.....whoah, mindfuck
same
i dont to mean to offend but that type of comment has become kind of cliche anyway why not call it Jamais vu it would make sense just sayin
Cool
It’s about continually falling in love with the people who are incapable or unwilling to ever give you the same amount in return. An ongoing tragedy of being so full of love, that it continuously tears you apart, for all the love you give is being wasted on the blinded and selfish. I can’t say this is un-relatable. Such a beautiful, and yet melancholic way to express just how it feels to be in the situation yourself.
I relate with this song so much. I am 24 and have always avoided relationships, because I am scared of losing someone I love. I feel no matter how much I care they might leave me, and that would ruin my hope for humanity.
So relatable but I can't help it
I was trying to figure this out.
Why so sad ?
Now I get it.
1973
I fell in love at first sight in 9th grade.
I had been away for a year. When I returned, all of the girls were going crazy over this guy named David Vincent. I thought they were all crazy. Because the only DV that knew was this annoying red headed guy, who was mean and sort of weird.
It was on Sock Hop day, when we all dressed 50's .
A group of us girls were standing in the quad, when a group of most popular 9th grade guys all walked by us, just to give us an eye full.
They were in white T shirts with empty cig packs rolled in their sleeves, and roll cuff blue jeans. Hair greased back.
Too Cool for School.
That's when I saw him for the first time.
*A Walking god*
The girls were all giggles and whispers.
My eyes were fixed on him as time stood still.
"Who is that ?" I said.
DAVID VINCENT they replied.
"That's David Vincent ?"
I knew I was doomed.
Life was never the same after that.
He played every sport .
I watched every sport.
I positioned myself to be near him at every single oppertunity .
I could not take my eyed off of him.
He was glorious...
And he knew it too.
He was BMOC.
And I was a very shy, awkward little thing.
I was sure that he was out of my league.
I admired him from afar for the next four years. Then.....
He went off to college. And joined the air force.
10 years later, I drove 800 miles to attend my class reunion. Of course hoping to finally get my chance with him. As l had grown into a beautiful, confident woman.
He arrived with his fiancé.
So not fair ! lol.
I imagine that he is still drop dead gorgeous today.
@@rulistening7777 What a beautiful story!!!! I assume you're married with kids, grown up kids, and so is he...? I really "travelled" with your story amd pictured everything.
Omg yes. This song makes me think of that. It's what I've been through these last weeks..
This song serves so many moments...
1. Cry for Someone
2. Taking a good wine after a day of Work
3. Dance with the loved one
4. Back in the past
5. Simply cry because music is beautiful
So true!!!
Canceriano pedro? Plm viu. É nóis kkkkkkk
@@JessykaRosario cancerianos unidos kkkkkk
Tem cara de brasileiro kkk
That's Right Pedro when I lost Nora in 2019 she was only 35. I always why she loved this song 🎵 ❤️ she would play it over and over and over.. It's dreamy I always wondered what the lyric "I could have swore I saw fireworks from your house last night" meant to her? It's dreamy
SIX YEARS?!?!?!?!?!? WHAAAAAT. I've been here for six years. Love this song.
You know when you hear a tune, the tingle goes up your spine and you genuinely feel almost on the verge of tears because of the sheer beauty of it.... this is that tune.
YES! I KNOW THAT FEELING ALL TOO WELL! I get it when I hear a song called Back to Life by ZAYN.
kinda wanna cry into a bottle of wine on my kitchen floor to this song
Head for the future,
Run from the past,
Hide from the mirror,
And live in a glass,
What dreams forget the whiskey remembers,
Kinda like molasses in a late December. Creepin.
I was going to comment the same thing but with vodka 😣
Lol
;( so i am..
New Year’s Day in Chicago throwing up in the toilet, then lying on the cold floor while this song plays. It was poetic misery!
im here because of legacies..and its one of my favourite songs, but i love the fact the two top comments are from 70 yr olds, how sweet :P
Same here too
Omg me too 😂😭
Bad I prefer TVD and TO
Me to I saw Landon and hope and this song started playing so I looked it up
@@taneshabravo8390 l
pppppppppppp]p]]p
Apparently this song IS a hit across the vastness of age differences.
these two young women are incredible. great writing and beautiful singing. i am 72. it reminds me of people of our generation who wrote great songs when they were teens
They're so sincere & talented, how can you not fall in love?
I just discovered this. I’m definitely a fan now
First Aid Kit has a regular spot on my playlist and always will. I have all their albums. This song and all their songs are timeless and what a fantastic blend of vocal harmonies, music and lyrics. Why are these amazing sisters not more well known?
All the greatest musicians either die young or remain obscure because the world is run by evil people who are using the mainstream music industry (and other things) to engineer society in order to make people dumber and therefor easier to manipulate and control.
Ich bin selber erstaunt, daß diese Zwei nicht so bekannt sind. Ich hab Sie heut das erste mal gehört und bin echt begeistert.😊👍🏻
- Lyrics -
I could've sworn I saw fireworks
From your house last night
As the lights flickered and they failed
I had it all figured out
Why do I do this to myself every time?
I know the way it ends before it's even begun
I am the only one at the finish line
I took a trip out to the frozen lake
And you felt so far away
But I could feel it washing over me
There's no escaping the harsh light of day
Why do I do this to myself every time?
I know the way it ends before it's even begun
I am the only one at the finish line
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Stood out on that beach in Chicago
Woke up next to you on Silver Lake Avenue
Wherever I went I always knew, always knew
'Til I didn't know
Why do I do this to myself every time?
I know the way it ends before it's even begun
I am the only one at the finish line
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I could've sworn I saw fireworks
From your house last night
Actually the girls clearly sing "I could OF sworn I saw fireworks".
@@SuperAllanjames Stupid comment.
If you’re looking for an exact transcription of what they’re singing, it’s much closer to “coulda” than anything else. There’s no audible ‘f’ or ‘v’ (or any) consonant sound at the end of it. But that’s pointless, because no matter what, the word is “could’ve”-short for could have-and the meaning of the line is unchanged.
Thanks Laura Paulino!
And I'm a million years old living in the western arm of the milky way. This song makes me depressed and nostalgic. I want to cry on my bathroom floor. You are never too old or have to many arms to enjoy great music from talented artists.
I've never heard such beautiful voices.
habeebah ahmad Then you've been missing out on some major great musicians buddy.
A prom is exactly what i would've imagined while listening to this song. The mood is amazing!
Alisa Z no
yes omg! i was thinking just the same
And life is so very short...
I think it’s about returning, in mind (and even in person) to places from the past while remembering an old love, only to end up alone (at the finish line) and feeling worse than before, asking once again, “why do I do this to myself”
Heartbreakingly beautiful as ever, ladies. Love you long time💘
You
I hope I get exactly why you say this and I can only wish it would be this way already, by now (although we sure can't escape our gender just because we like the idea of universal love, lol). We can try until it is, in any way we can make it true (since love isn't just about a relationship between 2 ppl), and we will... especially as increasingly more people (should) join this struggle for common sense. We'll see...
It's about her crush having sex with another girl....
50’s in iceland?
I've been doing that for nearly a decade. It's like emotional self-abuse, it hurts but it beats feeling nothing at all.
Her name was Sara. And she never loved me.... and she never will.
They are amazing. I've listened to them for over a decade and there's no one else like them
Hooverphonic - Eden
lana- mariners apartment complex.
Both are better.
How is this video only at 3.8M views? They sound like the best harmony group on the planet (one of the best ever, current or past I also would say). I thought this would be at least 50+. Deserves so much better.
I want to play this song for my best friend. She past away this weekend. Love you always. I know that you loved first aid kit. cried all day
"Fireworks"
I could have sworn, I saw fireworks
From your house, last night
As the lights flickered and they failed
I had it all figured out
Why do I do this to myself
Every time I know the way it ends
Before it's even begun
I am the only one at the finish line
I took a trip out to the frozen lake
And you felt so far away
But I could feel it washing over me
There's no escaping, the harsh light of day
Why do I do this to myself
Every time I know the way it ends
Before it's even begun
I am the only one at the finish line
Stood out on that beach in Chicago
Woke up next to you on Silverlake Avenue
Wherever I went, I always knew, always knew
Until I didn't know
Why do I do this to myself
Every time I know the way it ends
Before it's even begun
I am the only one at the finish line
I could've sworn, I saw fireworks
From your house, last night
thank you!
shukran for the lyrics
Thanks for words.
I was just thinking I wish I had the lyrics, too. Thank you
I feel fireworks in my soul every time I listen to them. They are 2 of the most powerful voices i have ever experienced. I keep falling deeper and deeper in love with their harmonious flow and soul defining melodies. It's like whenever I listen to their music every thing else around me comes to a stop and the thing that exists is the music that I'm hearing and I fly away with it..
What an absolutely amazing song. These girls are fantastic. I was introduced to First Aid Kit by my daughter, I think they are so talented. I'm a big fan. Well done girls, you are amazing.
Magnifiques voix
Et musiques sublimes
Apart from the heavenly voices, this is a fab video, great David Lynch/Twin Peaks vibe. Missed the girls UK tour last year, hope they're back soon. Wonderful!
I’d like a David lynch version
2018...and music is not dead yet!
alemir1975 you damned right sometimes theres still little pearls in the water
fwnfaa pussy pearls
Juste one year
yea this is derivative as fuck.
Tyler Moore what do you expect? There’s only so many ways to change around 12 notes. After a while it all sounds like something you’ve heard before.
I'm actually crying. This song is BEAUTIFUL.
I swear to God every time I listen to them I get a tear in my eye cause what I'm hearing is so damn beautiful
Im into death metal have been for twenty plus years but i love first aid kit so so good! This is melancholic, invokes feelings of past loves and old times.
Hell yes my Metal brother. These sisters have such depth of feeling at such a young age and convey it so well.
Honestly same dude. My and my fiance usually do metal gigs and festivals but first aid kit is our odd one out and we love them
Couldn't hv said it better than u 4
Hell yeah.. heavy metal freak here. I love this this fine piece of Swedish melancholic songwriting from these lovely sisters.
I am 143 years old and I have been listening to these lovely Ladies for over 79 years now! 😁💚😕
This song reminds me when I was 80 years old.
I am 31 now
😂😂😂😂😂
💜💜💜💜💜
In the context of the other comments...this was gold.
@@danclark2914 on its own it’s gold
The Wheel of Time turns
When I listen to this song it's like I'm listening to a song from the 70s / 80s / 90s and the 2023. It's an incredible feeling, uniting the simphony of the past with the present, the voice of you are like angels. Certainly the best voice of the day. Sing to the world, you are perfect. My favorite.
aaah a fresh dose of First Aid Kit always makes my day a little brighter :)
Fearless Hence their name ;)
Ironic isn't it... :D
Fantastically written and shot video.
Needless to say, beautiful music.
I traveled back in time to hear this song. I'm 2501 years old and it was worth the trip.
This was a song I had in my head a long time ago but it didn't exist until now.
It's nice to have a sudden desire to check First Aid Kit in the middle of the night and find out they've loaded new clip 12 hours ago. ^_^
At the first tones of this song, that I heard just now for the first time, I knew this would be one of my favourites of all time. I never heard from them but read a review of their album "Ruins" in the paper this morning. What is it with music that can move you so deeply? Love their voices and the flowing melody. What a talent you both have, Klara and Johanna...
Roy Orbison lives inside these beautiful girls. They are older than they are and appear to be mediums between my soul 50 years ago and, today as we approach the end of something, they are the beginning of something very new and necessary in contemporary pop music....too sweet for today, laced with slow dances past and people passed . Fireworks that shot up into space and explode into our souls forever....this song is timeless.
Soul,Mind and Spirit erases all time and we can find eternity in the infinite love of the all.
After a long time searching on Google - i didnt know the name of the song and the group or even the singers name. I have only heard Bits and pieces of this beautifull song on a Danish radio broadcast station, i at last have found it here on UA-cam. I love this song and video so much. Greetings from Denmark ❤ ❤ ❤
First Aid Kit has always been one of my favourite artists. When I was really little, the Drunken Trees album would put me to sleep every night. I didn’t listen to it for a while until my dad put it on again and all the words cane flooding back. Keep it up, you’re amazing
Such a beautiful song.
I'd never heard of First Aid Kit until a friend took me to a show (before 2010). The stage presence had me so enthralled I nearly cried. I have been a fan ever since. I wish them all the success!
They’re so under rated. Weird remark but their voices are big and rounded and so deep and I could go on..............❤️ First Aid Kit fixing my heart!!
Heard a little of this song in Legacies and had to find it to hear the whole song... just love your songs!!!
Im from Angola Africa. I speak Portuguese I ear this song in legacy and I'm here for an hour saying to myself that I will repeat this song only one times than I go to sleep but I can stop listen. This IS A WONDERFULLY SONG.
ONE OF THE BEST I EVER EAR ♥
Anybody else depressed for reasons they dont know, this song hits us
Don't be depressed for reasons you don't know. Be curious for reasons that make you feel.
Think about what you are doing, who you are around, what it is you want. That can help.
Do not think about stuff that drags you down, think about stuff that pulls you up!
Depression is what you make of it.
Start to be curious for what amazing things might happen in the future and you have a reason to be busy until the day you die.
Well... based on the theory that you are not pessimistic and think that the future will be a total failure.
It makes sense. An unknown feeling. How do you feel now?
Yes we are the zombie dancers
I love that I can hear Roy Orbison singing this. Beautiful song.
Taking a crap looking at my phone singing this song and crying. That’s not something I ever thought I would do
Hahahhahahah😂
😂😂😂👍!
I'm sure your not the only
I'm sure the sisters would appreciate that! LOL
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah love the song fireworks..and First Aid Kit ..on my all time playlist..oh yeah and am 75..never to old to appreciate good songs..
I just saw the video of them singing 'Emmylou' to Emmylou Harris in the audience. I had to have more and this one doesn't disappoint. These sisters are amazing.
What a lovely gift from Sweden. Beautiful, beautiful song.
This song and their voices give me goosebumps. So beautiful!
I love this song.. the melody makes me fly, cry and smile at the same time..
Honestly, l can't get enough."first aid kit" and the beautiful music they create deserve so much recognision. For me, It has been a pleasure and a privelage with every song I've heard from them so far. I'm addicted. they are unbelievably musically gifted and have so much talent. I Can't wait to hear what else they create next :)
The best song ever I swear ❤😭
What a beautiful and touching song.
Absolutely beautiful song about wanting it too much and always ending up alone. Totally my jam right now. I'm a delivery driver/aspiring singer and I just belt it out in the van while I drive. Bravo!!! Well done!
What breath of fresh air from the tripe we are be fed on the radio now days.
I found First Aid Kit while looking for who the hell did the amazing cover of "America" on a Volkswagen ad. I can't get enough. Two beautiful young ladies of amazing talent who "get" music far beyond their years. Wow. I hope they both come to look for America soon.I would love to see them.
One of new favorite groups after finding out they have been around for years. Better late than never. Great harmonies and true to original C&W music. Outstanding women.
I've listened to this song about a million times since yesterday. ❤️
How the actual hell to 1.1k people NOT like this?! The voices cut through me like a knife, absolutely gripping, beautiful talent ♥
I only just discovered this band. They have such beautiful voices.
Love the late 70s/early 80s retro style yall went with for this video.
This song really helped me with my mental health and how I found my perspectives of what I have struggled with and I love the chorus, and when it opens with 'Why do I do this to myself, every time I know the way it ends' and I think of it as in, why should I have to suffer with my own mental health issues, when I see or hear about someone else who is struggling as well, and I should be out helping them instead of being upset and frustrated with my own, and that's how I look at it when I listen to this song.
I know lyrically it's about breaking up from a relationship, but it's how I look at this song and it's really helped with what I struggled with and I found the chorus relating to me with all that.
Can't believe i've only just discovered this fantastic group, refreshing to know there's great young talent out there...
This is more than the Golden age of UA-cam, its the Golden Age of the Internet
Just went to see them I Glasgow recently. Incredible live performance
Such a great song! The beginning of the video set up like an old Cinderella or Brittany Fox video from the 80's.
Their voices are like butter. I’m obsessed. 😍
I find the music haunting in the best kind of way and the harmonies so beautiful it's hard to tell if both or only one is singing which is possible with siblings ie Bee Gees
This is going to be my first dance song at my wedding ❤️
you have a very good taste :D wish you all the best
“I’m the only one at the finish line”? “Why do I do this to myself”?
Pretty depressing to dance at your wedding to a song about always being left alone and unloved lol..
@@DannyD-lr5yg I don’t think it’s depressing so it’s all good
@@emmagoffe4260 I mean if you’re happy with it that’s what matters. The lyrics are just all about ending up alone/being rejected, so I was surprised.
Incredible clarity with the voices. Damn. Sounds great.
These young ladies are magical. That rare talent that you only need to hear once to be forever hooked, where one single song can unlock so much
The melody, vocals, and feeling of this song is so retro, as if it was recorded in the mid 1970's...when I close my eyes, I hear a combination of Adele and Karen Carpenter...what an incredible song....
I've only just discovered this beautiful music (thank you Graham Norton Show). it has such a nostalgic sound. Absolutely love it.
My soul can feel all what they share with their angelical voices, thank u so much for this :'(
I heard you 2 by accident and fell in love with your voices and your sound. You were singing ‘ill be your Emmy Lou’. Bought 2 of your albums straight off from itunes! So strange as you sound American but you are Swedish?
Thank you young ladies for making an old man very happy. I used to play guitar, keyboards and sing i had a small home studio and wrote and recorded a country album for my then fiancee. It was called “Highway to Your Heart” . My buddy in New York did the graphics for the CD cover, he passed from cancer some years back now.
she was killed just before our wedding near Chicago in a car wreck. Then i discovered my Pc had a virus and I lost my whole albums MIDI tracks, all i had left were the lyrics I wrote, then they too got lost. Some of the tracks on my album were, the title track Highway To Your Heart, Going 75 on i75 and what I used to call her ‘Mustang Lady’ as she drove a Silver convertible Mustang, the car she was killed in 😪 one day we will be together again, incant play guitar any more as age has wrecked my hands but i play a little on the keyboards. She used to sing to songs I played you remind me of her she was blonde and beautiful. Thank you FAK. XX
I saw them live last summer in Crystal Palace Park in South London. They were every bit as good as on record and it was an amazing evening (the support acts CMAT and 86TV were excellent too). Their vocals are absolutely amazing. If ever you get the chance to see them, I can't recommend them highly enough. When they did their last song, most of the audience was singing along too, me included. I can't tell you how that felt.
I heard this one late night on the radio four years ago. It's stayed with me ever since then.
Currently my favourite song of 2018, you sisters made my days.
Love their Music!
I literally forgot this track but suddenly when I was looking at sunrise at a lake I got an urge to listen to this back! So soothing, for heart and soul
I'm totally in love w this song. My grandson and youngest daughter as well
Never gets old I’ve been listening since 2018 ❤
It is Feb.2021 & i am still no where near sick of this song since it first came out🌹
First i thought, I have heard this melody before in the movie "Mulholland Drive" but no, then maybe in "Twin Peaks" but no, fantastic 50s tune. Love it, hear it several times a day.
this is criminally underrated
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Their voices provokes tears.
I can't get this song out of my mind. So well written. Wow. Love these two.
I think it's about falling for someone that doesn't reciprocate and repeating the mistake.
Maybe?
I’m there too
the best on youtube are these hidden gems. 👏Breathtaking!
I'm here because Linda Ronstadt mentioned them in an interview. I'm glad I listened to her. She was the one who created one of her greatest backup bands the Eagles.
Formidable is beautiful ❤
This song living in my head has got me playing and singing for the first time in ages.
