Wolf-mother, where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taker, devils-maker
Let me hear you sing, hey-ya hey-ya
Wolf-father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shape-shifter
Let me see you run, hey-ya hey-ya
Holy light over the night
Oh, keep the spirit strong
Watch it grow, child of war
Oh, keep holdin' on
When I run through the deep dark forest long
After this begun
Where the sun would set
The trees were dead
And the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace
To lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound there was only me, and my disgrace
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)

Wolf-father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shape-shifter
Let me see you run, hey-ya hey-ya
Wayward winds, a voice that sings
Of a forgotten land
See it fall, child of war
Oh, lend a mending hand
When I run through the deep dark forest long
After this begun
Where the sun would set
The trees were dead
And the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace

I'm sure I've commented on this song before, but this is always so great to hear. 🐺❤️
I always think of french cars when I hear this!

That's not even the case in this song. The first verse is mostly sung by Klara alone. Many of their songs are like that. The song Nothing Has to Be True has them exchanging verses. Also, their harmonies are amazing, so I just enjoy.
Sometimes I wonder if there's a First Aid Kit song that doesn't involve 2 singers harmonizing every single line in the song. On most other duets I've heard on RP with other artists, they break that up a bit -- either a back and forth, a call and response, or doubling up only on the chorus.

Not many songs I can play over and over but this is one. Just love it.
Wow,
Perfect segue from Desert Rose
Well played Bill

You should try listening to Simon and Garfunkel sometime. Maybe then you'll grow an appreciation for harmonies sung throughout a song. Maybe it's not the way most duets are sung, but it's my understanding that Simon and Garfunkel were quite popular in the day, so it seems to me it can't be all that uncommon.
Also, there was an even earlier duo called The Everly Brothers, who also used the same style of continuous harmonization. I recommend checking them out too.

Most Swedes, as standard, speak English and German, as well as Danish and Norwegian. I gained enormous respect for their talents during my time in the languages field. Multi lingualism is normal in civilised countries. Most anglosaxons barely speak English.
I love that RP plays so many scandi artists, singing in their own lingos and English. It's opened up a whole new musical world to me. Takk så mycket, Bill and Becky :o)
How's your Swedish, English-only speakers? Spend a little time in a foreign country and weep at your own limitations. I am so envious of multi-lingual speakers.
As for this song, I recall hearing it for the first time and I couldn't stop playing it. Some songs are like that. Thanks for playing it.

These two killed it at Glastonbury yesterday in their adorable baby Nudie suits. (Think they're back today too; not sure how Glastonbury works, but I hope to find out one day.)
Love these gals...Sweet music...

Always a joy to hear First Aid Kit, equally polished live as in the studio.

The President of the United States has been diagnosed today with a virus he declared a hoax six months before. Just seemed relevant listening to First Aid Kit.
Damn! I was sure this was Neko Case before I checked the details.

I highly recommend listeners explore First Aid Kit on Youtube and elsewhere on the internet. These two sisters truly have an exceptionally amazing talent. Their live performances are virtually flawless and harmonies are incredible. Their tribute to Emmylou Harris moved her to tears at the 2015 Polar Music Prize ceremony.

Thanks for that reference - that festival does look amazing! I've never seen such a lineup of immense quality. It looks like you can also watch clips from past festivals
Bill, I am thinking that you and Rebecca have attended the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival at least once, probably more. The last three performers you played, Patti Smith, Carolina Chocolate Drops, and now First Aid Kit, all appeared at Hardly Strictly in recent years. And many other performers that you have played have appeared there as well. I moved to Mexico over three years ago, the weekend after attending all three days of the 2015 festival. I have also made special trips to attend the 2017 and 2018 festivals, making it nine of the last 10 years that I have gone to all three days of that great festival. In my humble opinion one of the best festivals in the world, and most likely the best free three day festival. And now Wailin' Jennys, who also appeared there recently, maybe in 2018.

This beats the Ikea!! Mind and heart comfort
Saw them in concert a couple of weeks ago and they sound even better live than on their record. These two ladies are amazing performers.
Love the voices and the whole rhythm of the track excellent combination.
9 on a first listen. Love the phrasing and the inflection. This is a really sweet piece of music.

So far this is still their masterpiece.
Yes!! Always a pleasure to hear. Crank up the volume.

I love this song. The posted lyrics are a bit off, though. From the CD (the printed lyrics actually say "where you've been" but that's not what they're singing):
Wolf mother, where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taker, a devil’s maker
Let me hear you sing heya heya
Wolf father, at the door
You don’t smile anymore
You're a drifter, a shape shifter
Let me see you run heya heya
Holy light, oh, guard the night
Oh, keep the spirit strong
Oh, watch it grow, child of woe
Oh, keep holding on
When I ran through the deep dark forest long after this begun
Where the sun would set, the trees were dead and the rivers were none
And I hoped for a trace to lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound there was only me and my disgrace
Wolf mother, where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taker, a devil’s maker
Let me hear you sing heya heya
Wolf father, at the door
You don’t smile anymore
You're a drifter, a shape shifter
Let me see you run heya heya
Wayward winds, a voice that sings
Of a forgotten land
See it fall, child of all
Oh, lend a mending hand
When I ran through the deep dark forest long after this begun
Where the sun would set, the trees were dead and the rivers were none
And I hoped for a trace to lead me back home from this place

this song is great! Though reading these lyrics with knowledge of the horrible destruction we are allowing in this land of the free, I'm shaken -
"Silent Spring"
"Desert Solitaire"
enough reading and listening, time for action against the self-absorbed scum in Washington, imho

awesome!
I suggest it would serve well to livestream an occasional live DJing, maybe 'take some calls', shoot the breeze, fill the sails. Be Bill and Rebecca and whoever-else-may-be ON AIR. Pacing would be a factor, but one obviously susceptible to control. This could allow listeners to hear some selectable combination of two streams each of which* occasionally shares audio with the other, each of which is arriving at the listener by a different means, even a different channel.
* What is the minimum quantum of on-the-house (i.e. royalty waived) copy-written/copy-righted music? Would any music played to radioparadise, audible while doing a behind-the-scenes of the very same radioparadise, in real time, constitute a second performance? It seems that this is where the margin currently is.

Apologies in advance this is a teaching rant not about the music skip over if you have no interest.
As a teacher (I know how I normally behave here for those who have seen other posts) I am always amazed that people buy into the bullshit they are fed about improving educational standards. The fact is everyone knows what works best because the rich can afford to pay for it. Aside from having capable people who know there content and importantly can also teach which in my view is a separate skill, it is a simple matter of numbers. The less pupils per teacher, the more time they can be afforded personally and the better they achieve. Why if they are serious about education do governments not look to employ more teachers so they can reduce the pupil teacher ratio? I have heard very good things about the Swedish education model. It seems to be looked up to by people all over the world.
This bit is about the music
OK rant over I should also add that like so many of these female singers I love this song by Agnes Obel. Picked up 2 albums since hearing it and definitely not disappointed by either.
Tut, tut.
Sentences beginning with prepositions, there instead of their, lack of punctuation in some places, too much in others, and poor sentence and paragraph structures.
See me after class.
Sorry Sloggydog, I couldn't resist. It's my problem with authority figures you see.
Good rant though, 10/10 for content and analysis. I'm with you on the music critique too. Are Oxford commas OK? ;-)
One could mention, too, Sloggy used less when fewer is the correct adjective with plural nouns, as in fewer people. I agree about the spelling and the rant...I too am a grammar snob. Good thing Grammarcop didn't see this!

Travel the South in America - or the Northeast, for that matter - you will hear different ways of pronounciation.

Just went from a 7 to a 5 on account of the fact the more I hear it, the less I like it. And RP spins this one too frequently, IMO.
It was okay for the first couple of times, but I've heard this far too often.

Nice melody and harmonies.

Apologies in advance this is a teaching rant not about the music skip over if you have no interest.
As a teacher (I know how I normally behave here for those who have seen other posts) I am always amazed that people buy into the bullshit they are fed about improving educational standards. The fact is everyone knows what works best because the rich can afford to pay for it. Aside from having capable people who know there content and importantly can also teach which in my view is a separate skill, it is a simple matter of numbers. The less pupils per teacher, the more time they can be afforded personally and the better they achieve. Why if they are serious about education do governments not look to employ more teachers so they can reduce the pupil teacher ratio? I have heard very good things about the Swedish education model. It seems to be looked up to by people all over the world.
This bit is about the music
OK rant over I should also add that like so many of these female singers I love this song by Agnes Obel. Picked up 2 albums since hearing it and definitely not disappointed by either.
I agree with pretty much everything you've written here, esp. the bit about the ability to teach as a skill separate from a knowledge of the subject being taught. Instruction in math and computer science is often shoddy or poor because the teachers don't know or care to know how people think and learn a new discipline.
There's good money to be made in the US through various school reform schemes, especially through charter schools. Many times they just offer more regimentation and discipline in schools as well as teaching to the test. Overall they don't produce better student test scores or performance, from what I understand.
I don't know why governments don't do more to lower student-teacher ratios. It's probably far more expensive than the alternatives and according to this Brookings Institution study, you need a biggish drop in class sizes to see results; the effect is pronounced in earlier grades:

"Because the pool of credible studies is small and the individual studies differ in the setting, method, grades, and magnitude of class size variation that is studied, conclusions have to be tentative. But it appears that very large class-size reductions, on the order of magnitude of 7-10 fewer students per class, can have significant long-term effects on student achievement and other meaningful outcomes. These effects seem to be largest when introduced in the earliest grades, and for students from less advantaged family backgrounds.
...
Despite there being a large literature on class-size effects on academic achievement, only a few studies are of high enough quality and sufficiently relevant to be given credence as a basis for legislative action."
Parental emphasis on education and support of their kids' educational efforts are also very important. I think positive peer pressure amongst students is important too. Having a strong rapport with a good teacher is huge, I think: a lot of accomplished people cite the impact of a teacher who made the effort to recognize and befriend them. Carl Sagan did that for Neil deGrasse Tyson and it made a huge difference in Tyson's life.
...and the groove just goes grooving on...(if I give the speakers any more cap'n, they're gonna blow!)
more cowbell..
What voices! The western influence excites these ears.
Nice sound, but they'll have to change it up a bit to prevent getting trapped by it. Easy on the eyes too

Ignorant and unoriginal comment. So their geography determines their sound? Like labeling Rolling Stones as "Beatles" simply because they're both from England. Sorry to be harsh here...but I think this forum is better used for those with detailed opinions and insights about the current artist. If you don't prefer a song or artist...tell us why...not just "sucks" or "crap". Based on your post...have no idea if ABBA is a good thing or bad. Maybe I shouldn't care, right?

I'm sure I've commented on this song before, but this is always so great to hear. 🐺❤️
And here we are again. I've listened to this song many times, but it always lifts my spirits. And thanks, RP for introducing me to First Aid Kit.
