First Aid Kit - You're Not Coming Home Tonight Lyrics
Yeah you cooked his dinners
You raised his children
Still he's not satisfied
He says "I'd rather switch with you
You don't know how hard it is
But he speaks with his eyes closed
And even though 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
But you're not coming home tonight
And you left without a wave
Figured he'd never let you leave anyway
And now you're sitting on that train
Seeing life in a new way
And every forest sings a song
One for the heartbroken lovers
And one for the dreamers
And then there's one just for you
The winds been humming on it all day
Ans the soil lies awake
Waiting for it's drum solo
'Cause you're not coming home tonight
The ship is sailing
I'll meet you on the other side
The future's unclear
But hopefully it will be fine
You're not coming home tonight

Lyrics :
Yeah you cooked his dinners
You raised his children
Still he's not satisfied
He says "I'd rather switch with you
You don't know how hard it is
To work from 9 to 5"
But he speaks with his eyes closed
And even though 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
But you're not coming home tonight
You just took the train
And you left without a wave
Figured he'd never let you leave anyway
And now you're sitting on that train
Seeing life in a new way
And every forest sings a song
One for the heartbroken lovers
And one for the dreamers
And then there's one just for you
The winds been humming on it all day
Ans the soil lies awake
Waiting for it's drum solo
'Cause you're not coming home tonight
The ship is sailing
I'll meet you on the other side
The future's unclear
But hopefully it will be fine
You're not coming home tonight
WE LOVE YOU
I sure like these ladies, but they seem to have a rather sour opinion of men.
type music to ride along with on a bicycle tour
it is a pretty sad song
Whats the blonde chick plays at ?
Love Johanna playing the autoharp.
Would buy one but they are so expensive.
Wow their voices are peanut butter and jelly in the best way possible
Niiiice voices!!!Way to young girls but so talented!
This reminds me of Tegan and Sara, nice :)
This song basically sums up my life.
LOVE THIS SONG AND THE MUSIC VIDEO :)
They really just fit perfectly into the forest...
agree. would totally vote for another Live in the forest
don't know whether I should think of it as an offence or compliment
i loved this song girls, congratulations!!!!!!
what is the name of his instrument?
The girl on the left is playing an Autoharp
einfach wunderbar ....... !
Phenomenal song writing, so young
For some reason, this seems like something Phoebe Buffay would sing...
seriously soooooooo underrated and soooooo talented
+Joj Divižn they are only popular in certain countries... Fucking justin beiber has gold and platinum sales.
@Joj Divižn Not too well known in the U.S, they really only get discovered here by folk listeners maybe. I've heard them in starbucks before though but most people don't know them when I bring them up.
+ShatteredDiscoBall Last year I watched them in Amsterdam Holland and I was totally blown away.I can tell you Im hard to please. Yes its mostly folk listerners that know them but they have talents to reach lots of other Music listener groups. Every person I introduce them to love them instantly. I have introduced their Music to for instance Heavy metalists, mainstreamers, Houselisteners , rap listeners etc. Apart from that big guys like Paul Simon, Neil Young, Jack White, Paul Mc Cartney, joni Mitchel, Keith Urban,even Bob Dylan they all say these two Swedish siblings are something extra. Rare pure talent which is rare these days. With a right promotion and good managing they coud be among the very best in Music of today.
Yeah even though they sound kind of like the classic country musicians like the Carter family and a lot of folk groups of the 60s and 70s from here in America. Not a lot of people don't know them. Their mainly popular with people here who like folk and Classic Country sounding music (which is me), yet I'd say They got a potential to be popular here. But like a lot of great alt country/indie Folk artists they are marketed poorly to usually a rock audience that won't care for them. I actually found them through a country website called Saving Country Music (which was the same site that I found (and launched the success) Sturgill Simpson (another favorite of mine) through)
SON GENIALES!!!! You two are great!!! Greetings from Mexico!!! What's the name of the instrument that seems as an arp-piano-accordion?
Its a Autoharp
Yo igual soy De Mexico!!!
Arya Stark??
Lmfao 😂😂😂😂
They may have been playing live in this video, but that's not what we're hearing. The lead voice is doubled. There would also be background noise in a forest, which honestly would have made for a cooler video IMO
the lead voice is doubled bc there's two ppl singing???? like???
@Abigail Jenkins No, the lead singer's voice is doubled throughout the entire song. At first I thought maybe it was some echo effect but you can hear parts where the two lead voices are out of sync. Like when she sings "now" at 0:45 or "future's" at 2:10, right before the other girl joins in at "unclear", the two lead voices are a little off key.
It's most probably live with digital reverb added later.
their voice just make me dreaming in fantasy <3
Let England shake must have been heavily influenced by these guys
let england shake is an old Irish rebel song (based on) THE WEST AWAKE
Bright Eyes influence is huge in this song:) It reminds me of 'Bowl of oranges'
I love it! :)
What is this song talking about?
When I brought is song from iTunes it sounds so different to this version. I wish I could buy it on ones like it sounds here, on iTunes it is much slower:///
recently got into these girl, and I have to say they are just so awesome
That "strange sitar" is a common or garden autoharp, available in any decent shop for next to nothing and can be mastered in an extremely short time. Very common in american old-time music.
Love your pullovers as your music !! ;)
@Patohead001 -- it's a zither. No Idea where to get it in Denmark.
love love love
UuU exelente cancion <3 me enamore de sus voces
its an autoharp.
the female Simon and Garfunkel, I love them
true that
Usually the best bands arn't all that popular.
Awesome voices!
it was cool to hear a different version of this song but I am subject to the original
i love this band and song i can play it on the guitar.to bad it's not a very popular band this is my favorite band =[
where can i buy this strange sitar in Denmark???
it's an harmonium!!!
Damn I love this song.
when i come home , i raised nothing more than blisters then i suffered ridicule..
they sing like angels
Hey, girls your great!
It's a pump organ, not a piano.
Somehow this somg makes me so happy :)
Its strange. Ive just discovered one of my old playlists, one that once was so incredibly dear to me. Radical Face, Fever Ray, Amiina and all that wonderful goodness. Half of it´s been deleted, some songs are private.. And i dont even remember their titles so i basically lost them. Point is: I hope this one here never gets deleted, that would be a terrible loss.
these girls are GENIUSES!! and they are playing the citra!!! how cool is that!!!
lovely..
For a moment I heard a little Tegan and Sara in you. It was cute.
Which, despite it's name, is a zither.
That, my friend, is called an autoharp. (I assume you're talking about the lady on the left? Lol)
Thats a really good bit! What do you think about 1:21 - 1:24?
I want to live there!!!
This is an absolutly amazing song... I especially love the part from 1:50-1:56. I'm seeing them in 2 days in Dublin :D
they transported a piano all they way out into the woods just to be in the background of a shot ha
what is that instrument she is playing called?
jag älskar er tjejer!!!!!!!
Damn crazy how I'm seein it for the first time 4 years to this day!
4 years since this video was recorded..and still listening and lovin it. thanks for the music!
i love these sisters! keep on...
amazing harmonies
Wow I'm amazed she can play that! I inherited one from my grandpa but I have no idea. :(
An autoharp!
what is the instrument the sister with the lighter, wavy hair is playing?
Haha I love it how they count Swedish at the beginning :) Love their music, it's real music, saw them live: amazing!
"An" IKEA
I really hope they get far x
Beautiful! These two remind me a little bit of one of Ellis, who is one of my favorite American folk-rock singers. I definitely need to find their CD's... only place I can think of to try is the Electric Fetus, the biggest and best independent music store here in the Twin Cities. I
PS im swedish to
their counting in swedish in the beginning
I haven't heard this song in such a long time, I still love it.
hahahah for you that aint swedish what the guy yells i the beginning is: SONG NUMBER ONE!
Recorded in the Swedish forest? They should be itching so much with the midges, that this should be impossible! The Donegal and Scottish midge will eat you alive!
you are angels. I could swear all of your songs are about my life.
@procrasti86 that's an autoharp and that's in every basic First Aid Kit fan lesson :D
@mysss29 LOL, i can see what makes the sound, i just wasn't aware that it takes an instrument (and a pick) to make the sound. I mean you can probably do the same using a grater. It seems you have answered a question i did not ask. It would actually be interesting to know how do they call that instrument, but you failed to deliver here as well. Thanks for trying though :D
@procrasti86 The "zipping" is Johanna's pick hitting the strings--listen for their sound afterwards. I forget what the instrument is called....
@procrasti86 the 'piano' is used in one of the other songs on this 3-track EP recorded as a set in the woods (see info about the track at the top ^^^)
Do you really need an instrument to make that zipping sound? And what's the piano for? I was really waiting for someone to play it. Got trolled :/
the ship is sailing
@xxxRetardationxxx Yes.
@supersketch90 I feel exactly the same
What a lovely sound. Great voices!
@miq2015martinez we would do better with one less hater in the world ttfn
@Livi195 Raised his children?
@miq2015martinez the song is about idiots like you!hahaha
@miq2015martinez grow up
30 people are racist children
^ I love how Cyrus is spelled :)
This is Great! I love the sound!
@S0UL0NE Thanks!
