First Aid Kit - "Hard Believer"

First Aid Kit are a Swedish duo consisting of sisters Johanna and Klara Soderberg. They came to my attention with this song "Hard Believer" and I was taken with their folk/pop/acoustic sound, particularly the vocal harmonies that they have perfected. It comes from the debut album 'The Black and the Blue' released in May of this year and was recorded while they were both still teenagers... in fact one of them still is at only 17, with the other at 20. Their songs show a maturity beyond their years. They are playing in Auckland next month at The Wine Cellar. Oh no, not another drive up to Auckland.




So you ask for my opinion
Well what is there to say
To be honest and just foolish
Won't make you wanna stay
You've got to go on and get moving
I can't do that for you
Got so many plans and so much you want to do

Love is tough, time is rough
Love is tough, time is rough
Whoaaaa on me

Well I see you've got your bible
Your delusion imagery
Well I don't need your eternity
Or your meaning to feel free
I just live because I love to
And that's enough you see
So don''t come preach about morality
That's just human sense to me

Love is tough, time is rough
Love is tough, time is rough
Whoaaaa on me
On me-eeee .. on me-eee ...

break

And it's one life and it's this life
And it's beautiful
(repeat)
And it's beau .. beau .. beau ... beautiful

Love is tough, time is rough
Whoaaaa on me
