I think that it really lets you escape the real world and into a world of beautiful music and just lose yourself in the songs. Fever Ray is by far my favorite band.
there's such a powerful dormant energy that so few can capture that she seems to nail with ease over and over again. such a soft settle beat that has such an intensity.
This is the kinda good shit you'd expect to hear about in a dramatic trailer, wondering "What's the song that plays in the last thirty seconds". I was lucky enough to hear it on Pandora first. Great cover of a great PG song
Quite honestly, I like this one better than the original. Although you cannot really compare the two - this one's lively, passionate, extraordinary, yet simple...it just gives me the chills. Peter Gabriel's version is beautiful, no doubt. But Karin...she's got the magic!
it's funny because it is what i wanted to say before i red it :) You're totally true, she's the only to got the power to give us goosbumps just from her music; She's fantastic.
Wow, I tend to be very critical of covers and here I must say this is OUTSTANDING !!! Perhaps it works because you can generally hear Peter Gabriel's ambient and experimental influence in her music.
Omg I was searching for some extra songs from Fever Ray, 'cause the only songs I know are the songs from the album fever ray. without this one. I LOVE IT!
I'm not questioning it, just expressing my "Joy" ;-) RUclips is terrible for recommending videos/songs and this is one of the rare occasions they get it right!
für mich unvorstrellbar wie es jemanden wie fever ray geben kann...ich höre eig. seit 17 jahren eine völligst andere musikrichtung!fever ray wird es so in meiner zeit kein 2.x geben,das is ma fakt!
my god this is beautiful. i don't know what it is about her but her voice and the sounds she can produce are just so....relaxing and puts you at ease. and damn if those analog synth are just lush.
I honestly can't remember, I was just awestruck to be talking to her. But yeah, I think she knows :) If she didn't care about her fans and only cared about making money, she would have sold out...rather than constantly trying NOT to fit in to the commercial side of music :)
@lynchaxxonn did you know The knife put out an album back in february called Tomorrow, in a Year? Its an opera and is quite a challenging listen, not your typical Knife sounds
chegando aqui pra somar os admiradores brasileiros / lusófonos. Essa música mexe d+ comigo, inclusive conheci Peter Gabriel com ela. Fever Ray emana uma energia inefável desde seu album de estreia, mas eu sempre fiquei de 4 com seus covers, n m lembro de experimentar outrx artista sendo tão magníficx fazendo covers quanto a Karin Dreijer. Todo respeito e devoção!
Fever Rays cover are always brilliant, they completely put their own spin on the songs, much like Nick Caves stranger than kindness, they renew the songs i don't really think the two versions should be or could be compared, in both instances the originals are both brilliant but so are the covers.
@andybondoir18 ohhh i mean karin dreijer anderson (fever ray) and thanks, i already know that bands, portishead is one of my favorite bands, saludos desde Mexico
Interesitng question, what other songs would you like to hear Karin cover? I personally would like to hear do a cover of Joan Armatrading or Tracy Chapman (or whoever) The Weakness In Me. Think she can work wonders with it.
@andybondoir18 what you mean with ...etc. i like very much karin, bjork, the knife, but i dont know others with this kind of pionner music, do me a recomendation, i will apreciate that my friend :)
I have made it one of my prominent goals to see Fever Ray AND The Knife live before I die... Unfortunately, that may never happen.... They hardly ever tour!
one of my childhood favorites (songs)! one of my current favorites (artists) cant believe they covered this!!! got the ltd edn vinyl -sounds so much better on vinyl!!! ;)
@GangsterG2 yes...Looking down on empty streets, all she can see, Are the dreams all made solid, Are the dreams all made real, All of the buildings, all of those cars, Were once just a dream, In somebody's head, She pictures the broken glass, she pictures the steam, She pictures a soul, With no leak at the seam, Lets take the boat out, Wait until darkness, Let's take the boat out, Wait until darkness comes .... I don't have enough space for the rest of the lyrics, look it up if you want.
shes the only artist who can give me goosbumps just from her music, its magical. plus she gorgeous! i want her to be the last thing i hear in this world.
These are ideas found in a psychedelic singularity arising from a collective hind mind, and called the 'Nowhere Point'. My favorite destination in inner space
I`m glad you can enjoy it and feel it without drugs. But not everyone can actually HEAR and FEEL everything in music, if you know what i mean. Different people have different aural skills. Some of drugs expand mind and give ability to hear what you couldn`t hear without them. But people gotta be carefull with drugs!!! They can cause a lot of troubles.

It's not often that a cover of a song gets more views than the original, but this deserves it. This is a really amazing cover!
There are only a handful of songs that can actually evoke tears from me -- this is one of them.
This is the kinda good shit you'd expect to hear about in a dramatic trailer, wondering "What's the song that plays in the last thirty seconds". I was lucky enough to hear it on Pandora first. Great cover of a great PG song
Thank you for posting this cover. The original is unbeatable but it is always good to know that there are good artists who like it as much as I do.
Quite honestly, I like this one better than the original.
Although you cannot really compare the two - this one's lively, passionate, extraordinary, yet simple...it just gives me the chills.
Peter Gabriel's version is beautiful, no doubt.
But Karin...she's got the magic!
The look of that image and the sound of that piece has me astonished and enraptured beyond words...!! What gorgeous and entrancing work!!! ♥
She is amazing. Love her and love everything what she has done.
it's funny because it is what i wanted to say before i red it :) You're totally true, she's the only to got the power to give us goosbumps just from her music; She's fantastic.
Her voice and music is really enchanting. Through good columns, very very good sound. I lack the words, how perfect to listen her.

How could I have missed this, I thought I had everything by her. Definitely another favorite!

this song has just a great rhythm, great everything. lovely song ~
@bstewart23 thank you bstewart for drawing my attention to this, its been on constant rotation all night. xox
I honestly can't remember, I was just awestruck to be talking to her. But yeah, I think she knows :) If she didn't care about her fans and only cared about making money, she would have sold out...rather than constantly trying NOT to fit in to the commercial side of music :)
@cqueen33 haha I'm crossing my fingers hoping they tour soon, and in America! haha We'll see though.
This is absolutely beautiful.
This is beautiful...love Fever Ray... I kinda wish it would never end!
@lynchaxxonn did you know The knife put out an album back in february called Tomorrow, in a Year? Its an opera and is quite a challenging listen, not your typical Knife sounds
ok, to brzmi interesująco,
trzeba się bedzie za płytką rozejrzeć
She's wonderful!!!
Ótima versão se Mercy Street de Gabriel ❤
I drove from Vancouver to SanFransisco to see them live and it was very worth the trip.
it is very rare that a cover even comes close to the original - in this case Fever Ray's version is better than the original! Amazing!
@MidgetguyII Saw Fever Ray last year and met Karin afterwards....lifechanging experience!
Great version!
this song just has a feeling that transports you to another place, a time full of magic and mystery
@appleofmyiris ur so right about that Bjork is wounderful
Cara que musica linda! Sensacional com uma interpretação magnifica.
Viajei sem drogas.
essa música é muito hipnótica pra mim, véi. eu vou para outro mundo sempre q ouço

Muito boa em tudo, voz e atmosfera viciantes
TOTALLY love this cover !
@VikkiRawr The obvious answer is the Knife, especially the album Silent Shout. There is also Ladytron, Crystal Castles, and Cut Copy.
u can hear Gabriels tears as he sings.. here its just words repeated.. but the tune is greatt!!!

@andybondoir18 ohhh i mean karin dreijer anderson (fever ray) and thanks, i already know that bands, portishead is one of my favorite bands, saludos desde Mexico
Nice version!
music like this gives people a reason to live. gives us hope for the future of music. :-)
I agree....love Peter Gabriel, love Mercy Street, but this is a fantastic cover

This is my new favorite song. Again.
Got this song on repeat. FTW.
THANKS!!! I'M IN LOVE!!!
_YANA_
Fever Ray=best thing in music today period. Still wondering if the knife will ever have another album tho
hahaha I love it. it takes me to a place where I feel at peace, where I understand myself, where I feel like everything is simple.
really wellsaid !
I have made it one of my prominent goals to see Fever Ray AND The Knife live before I die...
Unfortunately, that may never happen.... They hardly ever tour!
This song just makes me want to wake up from a dream, into reality.
one of my childhood favorites (songs)! one of my current favorites (artists) cant believe they covered this!!! got the ltd edn vinyl -sounds so much better on vinyl!!! ;)
great + great = awesome!

@skypup77 I'm in Vancouver, next time let me ride with you!
you are so correct
@lynchaxxonn take a look at "The Knife in Collaboration with Mt. Sims and Planningtorock"
Oh Love ... this song ... so much emotions and so fucking much tears. damn glad to be over her now
It touches my soul ...
this is so great. it would fit an epic western movie, the lp cover picture with those weird giraffes in the canyon is also interesting
+ganglion omg its elmo *tickles*
indeed it is
Amo.
@GangsterG2 yes...Looking down on empty streets, all she can see, Are the dreams all made solid, Are the dreams all made real, All of the buildings, all of those cars, Were once just a dream, In somebody's head, She pictures the broken glass, she pictures the steam, She pictures a soul, With no leak at the seam, Lets take the boat out, Wait until darkness, Let's take the boat out, Wait until darkness comes .... I don't have enough space for the rest of the lyrics, look it up if you want.
I think I have become addicted to Fever Ray
i love this
SPECTACULAR.
this song takes me some crazy places in my sleep man
@therewassun sorry to burst your little bubble, but she's still working, just not touring.
@skypup77
Washington?
Amen this is better than most of the main stream shit I have heard.
It takes me far, far away :]
That's such a beautiful mask, I'd like to wear this mask too!
Amazing. That's all I can say.

@andybondoir18 yes, Scandinavian music rocks.
shes the only artist who can give me goosbumps just from her music, its magical. plus she gorgeous! i want her to be the last thing i hear in this world.
no one can top Peter's version...but this is very good in itself
Very shy...as to be expected, but yeah, it was awesome :) Still t.h.e best gig I have ever been to
@lovestosmilegirl and the only prescription is more ray.

These are ideas found in a psychedelic singularity arising from a collective hind mind, and called the 'Nowhere Point'. My favorite destination in inner space
How do I explain my love for this song :(
@GangsterG2 yes....
This is Karin Dreijer Andersson right? Love her.
ok, clicked the link for the pic in the description and instantly thought she was supposed to be a house spirit.
I love how Joy Division "Unknown Pleasures" full album is one of the recommendations!!
haha Woah, this is awesome!
Fever Rays music is different, i like it
maybe. for most of the times i dont get covers. something always missed
@lynchaxxonn they have a new one...
very good ;-))
her music makes me wonder about everything in this world
I`m glad you can enjoy it and feel it without drugs. But not everyone can actually HEAR and FEEL everything in music, if you know what i mean. Different people have different aural skills. Some of drugs expand mind and give ability to hear what you couldn`t hear without them.

so tribal...we love it because it reminds of of who we are ;)
yes, Karin has it.
This song was released on my birthday.. I LOVE YOU KARIN
Yup, she is
Intense
