After the additional shock that these two young swedes where born in 1990 & 1993s, and that I felt old. I was intrigued by the folk music and the way they sing of wisdom and things beyond even my age. In their song entitle, " Your not coming home" at the age of 21 their lyrics tackle the late-30 crisis of adulthood and relationships. The fear of becoming what in your youth you would never become.
Yeah you cooked his dinners
You raised his children and still
He's not satisfied
He says I rather switch with you
You don't now hard it is
To work from 9-5
But he speaks with his eyes closed
And eventhough you're not all alone
He's never there to be with you
And you remember when you were young
When life was new and it was fun
Now every corner's filled with dust
I am a complete sap for female folk singers from the nordic folk, and can foresee First Aid Kit, quickly becoming a monday afternoon music playlist. Time will tell if they were to smart for their age, and their next album will resemble the youth that they choose to ignore.
