I’ve written about First Aid Kit (Klara and Johanna Söderberg) in a previous post. But here we go again. This song is Emmylou from First Aid Kit’s 2012 album The Lion’s Roar. It’s a homage to songwriting duo Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons. I decided to post this video because first, the song is very pretty, and second, the lyrics mention Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons. Harris was in the audience as the duo performed and was moved to tears. The song was performed at the 2015 Polar Music Prize banquet at Grand Hôtel in Stockholm, Sweden, where Emmylou Harris was awarded Laureate. The gentleman seated next to Harris is Carl XVI Gustaf, the King of Sweden.
