I live in Sweden and have heard these girls for some time. When I heard them for my first time, I was just like flabbergasted and didnt think is was true. I actually thought it was like from a digital thing, It was like no humans could sound like that. Then when I learned, and watched, their musical skills I just said oh wow! I can't say much more, really.

Loved Gram and Emmylou. Love this.

I love this song because I love Emmylou Harris.

I'm glad they are beginning to record again. A astounding performance on a American stage should have catapulted them to stardom. I have know doubt, if the can gather up the "steam", they will achieve that! As a long time "fan", I hoping for this! Best wishes!

Oh I wish I had followed them from the beginning. They have sold out their UK tour, wish I had a ticket now. They perform at the Polar music awards in Sweden, and both Emmylou and Paul Simon have been up in receipt of their tributes. Amazing talent and pure beautiful voices.

When famous celebrities like Paul Simon, Tom Petty, Keith Urban ,Paul Simon and Neil Young just to mention a few they all say that these girls are really something special they must be. I read an article in The Rolling Stone Magazine that they had picked the ten best acts, singers that have come out during the last decay and First Aid Kit wpould be on that list. Great and well done, considering these girls dont come from US nor Uk but from a country called Sweden

There is some serious musical talent in Sweden...and I don't just mean these young ladies.

Thank you for the music Sweden. Abba, Europe, Roxette, Ace of Base, Robyn, Army of Lovers, Rednex, The Cardigans, First aid kit, Avicii, Swedish House Mafia and all others as text and music writers as Max Martin, Anders Bagge and Tobias Karlsson.

It's a nice song but not THAT remarkable that they should write it. The structure and progressions are coutry songwriting 101 and as they knew people who played and listened to a lot of old country music, they've picked up a lot of the cliches like bending their Bs, vocally mimicing slide guitar voicings. I think it just shows how easy it is to write a country song, their more original work is far better and much more interesting.

ok it's dictionary definition 'remarkable', but not remarkable in the way in which that word is more often used these days. I didn't say it was bad Charlie. My point is that to call it 'remarkable' is patronising. Why shouldn't they write a good song, people wouldn't say it was 'remarkable' if an old guy had written it. We'll know if it's truely remarkable in 40 or 50 years, but for now it's just a really nice, well constructed, catchy as hell, song. oh....you want easy country songs better than this? Without straying too far from the topic I'll start with Folsom Prison Blues... might take a while to look through the next 60years of country music but i think i'll find a few.
