ALWAYS loved this song. The chorus is incredible and would make anyone cry - not just Emmylou. But completely understanding why EH is in tears. 😢 It's so perfect. Thanks Fil, for taking on this one and the guitar demo. The brushes on the drums are the train tracks moving and driving it. The steel is huge here also but it is the guitar which is the primary

They also got a standing ovation from Paul Simon after performing his "America." One could see he was saying, "That was great." Impressive how the nail the Americana style on this song. They make it look easy.

She was one of my dads favorite singers. I also love her voice. R I.P. Dad

Honestly I never tire of listening to Fil talk about music - he's so in-depth and knowledgable. Also his eyes sparkle when he's watching the performances

I have nothing but respect for anyone who has zero musical boundaries.

I love First Aid Kit. They’re performing again after a break.

Any reference to Gram Parsons, Emmy Lou Harris, Johnny Cash, and June Carter Cash in a single song has to be great!

So glad to see you give these gals the props they deserve.

Music transcends countries. Swedish country music singers. I used to love to dance the Swedish Hambo when I was young and I've never been to Sweden. Love the Hambo dance and music. Why not? If you feel it, love it and want to express it in song then it's yours to play and sing. They are awesome. Thank you so much FIl!!

Never heard of these sisters before. Impossible not to be moved by the beauty of their singing. Thanks for bringing the girls to my attention Fil !

This performance takes me back.. crying thinking about love lost. Oh well, beautiful

Wow! The whole song is one flowing peace of art! And I love how the sister's voices fit together, both singing the same notes or as slightly different melodies. Just like the girls of ABBA did in their days... And I love the Pedalsteel in this track! My most beloved live-performance of First Aid Kit is the 2017 Leonard Cohen Tribute show - Wow was that an experience!

Thanks for taking the time and my suggestion to watch this vid. It's the beauty of music and how a lot of the times the best people are interconnected or have worked together or have been majorly influenced by one another.

First Aid Kit are a very impressive group. What a great tribute to Emmylou, simply wonderful to see.

Thanks, Fil for covering First Aid Kit. I first saw them around 2012 on a music magazine cover, I thought I would check out how two girls so young got to be on a cover. I discovered a whole heap of talent, a pile of emotion, and a pool of versatility. And their vid for this song. Have been following them ever since. They are great live performers.

I stumbled on this a couple years ago. Have stumbled back several times since.

oh, no. I have seen this video and I am such an easy crier! It's just beautiful, can't wait to hear what you have to say.............It might have flown under the mental radar, but they go unerringly straight to the heart.

Thanks for this one Fil. This was the first time I discovered First Aid Kit. Being an Emmylou fan I will watch anything with her name attached to it. So thankful I did because now I absolutely love First Aid Kit. They are so talented and hopefully I will get to see them live one day.

... This is a wonderful Analysis, Dr. Fil..... With First Aid Kit and this song, .... There IS so much going on with the dynamics , as you stated, I understand about that acoustic guitar, my daughter played acoustic, and I have a vintage Fender Acoustic. ....; I just love this song, and them paying tribute to Miss Emmy Lou, with her being right there, it's just wonderful. . .. and Miss Emmy Lous' reaction is heartwarming, how it affected her . . . Loved this, and of course, Miss Emmy Lou has helped quite a few realize thier musical dreams.

I'm from sweden, nice to see a analysis from a swedish band. Emmylou harris said this was emotional because she worked with Gram Parsons alot.

Absolutely , Emmylou is legendary in multiple genres ! But Ricky Skaggs was already well know in Bluegrass from a young age , having played with Bill Monroe at 8yo . At one of my most memorable concerts in 1979 , Ricky Skaggs performed twice ; as a member of Buck White & the Downhome folks , and then with Emmylou .

I love it when you talk about technique! Breaking out your own guitar to show what is going on is AWESOME! I’ve been playing for quite a while now, but in many respects I will always consider myself a “newb” . There’s so much to learn out there! Thanks, Fil, for continuously giving me “food for thought”.🤙

Love you Emmylou. Rest in peace Gram, June, and Jonny.

That finger style picking, with the dynamics - faultlessly with so much on the line. You can hear every note - anything out of place and it will glare. Just focused and beautiful

Thanks for this video, Fil. I am a big fan of First Aid Kit. This is a great song. It is so well crafted. This is one of my favorite bridges. So amazing. I'm glad you mentioned their blending of vocal registers. They do this on all their songs. Its purposeful and effective. Cheers.

Great that you found these girls! Have a look at them covering "America" with Paul Simon in the audience as Polar price winner 2012!

I’ve been waiting for this one ! Thanks so much for this Fil! Just FYI to anyone watching, the sister with the blonde hair is a pretty mean bass player and plays most of the time in their live performances, so nice to see her belt it out in this video. So much passion. Their albums are great as well

Thank you for all the videos

Fil, it’s wonderful to see you paying homage to this great group. July 2023, FAK just played Chicago this week. Super good show. This is one of their signature songs. Thank you for recognizing their skill and harmony. Emmylou Harris is my fav and I’ve watched this vid countless times, it ties my world of music up nicely. Emmylou weeps with joy. Touching.

"Stockholm's cold, but I've been told I was born to endure this kind of weather" - great! I was one of those people who knew them first from the Fleet Foxes cover, which they posted on youtube a decade ago. It's been wonderful to see their well-deserved success since then

Enjoyable performance! love your fingerstyle guitar demonstration! my time on your channel is always enjoyable as well as educational. thanks Fil.

Those two beautiful songbirds made Emmylou cry, and I'm sure that's not easy to do. Thanks Fil. How about a review of Emmylou covering Chuck Berry's "C'est La Vie/You Never Can Tell" ? (The later version where she's rockin' it up)

Nice gesture by the sisters. Nice song and I love Emmy Lou. Nice demonstration on the picking Fil.

Thank you Fil. When i first heard this duet i was so touched by their gift for songwriting. Heartfelt songs are so rare. They are capable through lots of practice and maybe genetics of such exquisite harmonies too! Really appreciate you covering the skills. As a fingerpicker i love hearing it carried forward.

These videos are great. These girls are a real talent.

To see them move Emmylou to tears like that was more than emotional. And you highlighted their talent and showed me something I didn't know about music which is your talent. See you at tne next one.

Thanks Fil. Already captivated by First Aid Kit, however, had mostly attributed their greatness to familial harmonies similar to Everleys, Louvins, Wilson brothers, etc. Your analysis of Clara’s fingerpicking opens up a whole new aspect of their brilliance. Thank you.

There are only ever a few really great ones every generation. FAK's generation is no different. Neither will be the one that comes after them. Or the one after that. If anyone could do it it wouldn't be special, would it?

To have that talent is something I would never take for granted. A love for the instrument to keep playing until you like the sound you make. A soft sound even with the drums. I enjoy Emmylou's duets with other singers. Graham Parsons and Don Williams. I have Graham Parsons on the Cowgirl of the Rodeo Byrd album and I bought another copy because I wore the first won out. Nice that you bring to light good musicians that might be liked if people heard of them. Thank you

Make me an angel who flies from Montgomery. John Prine wrote but their duet made it Emmy Lou's. Her old man was Gram Parsons. You could write a book on him from getting tossed out of Keith and Anita's house for being too stoned. (How stoned do you have to be to get kicked out of Keith Richards' place?) To saving country music by influencing groups like the Stones to do Sweet Virginia for example. She is one of the prime forces behind Hardly, Stickley, Bluegrass held annually in Golden Gate Park with three days and seven stages and free admission. This draws 120,000 every year. I, like many, consider her a saint.

A great song and you can see Emmylou approves in the end. Thanks for sharing Fil and a great analysis as always.

Good analysis _and_ demo, Fil. Just bought that track on iTunes.

Such a lovely tribute. When you were playing that G B pattern, it sounded beautiful. When I tried to learn guitar, a neighbour taught me a pattern, and .i loved the sound. I found it an almost zen thing, and played it all the time. But my teacher insisted I use a pick.😊

Oh how sweet and oh so good! Love your analysis. You know Fil I always wanted to learn how to play the piano but thought I would go thru life thinking it was just a thought. You have infuenced me and got me so excited about music so much that I'm thinking of buying a keyboard & learn what I can. I am not musically inclined ( lol ) but at least I will have tried and enjoy and have fun with it. Thank you for that! love ya👏😍😘💕🤗

I love First Aid Kit's cover of 'Waterloo Sunset'.

Great info - knew their vocals where fantastic but wasn´t aware of the technical skills of the guitarplaying. Thx mate! Love and respect from Sweden :)

Love your analyses! Keep it Up!!!

Thanks Fil. This was nice to see again. Clara sounds like the singer from the opening song to The Long Dark: Wintermute. Just watched the Patti Smith cover of Dancing Barefoot from 2011. Very good performance.

Wonderfully done with this analyses! And nice to hear about the background story of First Aid Kit. Thanks!
