Never thought that I was weak Always thought I could get hurt pretty bad Still get up on my own two feet I always believed that I was free That I had some sense of integrity That would rise above whatever tried to change me But honey, now I won't wait For something to bring me round and smile 'Cause that only sticks for a while Then I'm back again Oh, I'm a master pretender I always knew that I was young But with a head held high and a sharp tongue I could fool almost anyone I never expected to be struck By the fatal hands of fortune or by sheer bad luck Now we won't change And memories just rearrange And fall into place So I'm back again Oh, I'm a master pretender All the streets of New York City Sure look pretty from way up here And I was headed home, just felt more alone The further I'd go I always thought that you'd be here But shit gets fucked up and people just disappear So honey, now, don't be mad Time has told me it can't be that bad And if it is, well, I'll be goddamn But I'll stick around I'll be your master defender Yeah, I'll stick around I'll be your master defender
Saw these girls at the Green Man festival, they were stunning! Also bumped into Klara and had a photo and the festival program signed!!!! I still can't get over it!!
Man this music reminds me so much as the stuff I listened to in the late 60s and early 70s. I hope the girls don't get tired of hearing that as it's meant as an extreme compliment. Compared to the "pop" music of today, this stands out in stark contrast. Beautiful music always. Peace!
Love this song! And love this video seems like they were singing to each other when they said “I’ll be your master defender” ugh that made my heart full🤦♀️
This is the first time I'm listening to First Aid Kit, and I'm almost crying… This song is pure perfection! I discovered this song through the "50 Best Songs of 2014" list by Rolling Stone and I'm feeling so happy right now! I guess I have a new duo to discover!
I promise these two gems will become your favorite. Can you just imagine how much music they'll make over the next few decades. I love these two siblings so much, I have unofficially, adopted the two of them.
deez135 nuatz You mean the position of the song on the list? You can find it here: www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/50-best-songs-of-2014-20141203/beverly-honey-do-20141202 The fact that Rolling Stone consideres songs like "Fancy" or "Animals" better than "Master Pretender" really pisses me off! :(
Chaz Dean You're absolutely right! So far, I've enjoyed all their songs! And it's awesome that they're so young, with so wise. I can't even imagine where they'll be 50 years from now. :)
Beautifull song. I've heard them on the "wireless", but had not seen a performance till they appeared on tonights Grham Norton Show. Very impressive musicians.
WESSERPARAQUAT The doors! They died out in the 70s apart from a few reunions and quotes from those who won't let them die. I think anything from the 70s is a pile of shit now.
Never thought that I was weak
Always thought I could get hurt pretty bad
Still get up on my own two feet
I always believed that I was free
That I had some sense of integrity
That would rise above whatever tried to change me
But honey, now I won't wait
For something to bring me round and smile
'Cause that only sticks for a while
Then I'm back again
Oh, I'm a master pretender
I always knew that I was young
But with a head held high and a sharp tongue
I could fool almost anyone
I never expected to be struck
By the fatal hands of fortune or by sheer bad luck
Now we won't change
And memories just rearrange
And fall into place
So I'm back again
Oh, I'm a master pretender
All the streets of New York City
Sure look pretty from way up here
And I was headed home, just felt more alone
The further I'd go
I always thought that you'd be here
But shit gets fucked up and people just disappear
So honey, now, don't be mad
Time has told me it can't be that bad
And if it is, well, I'll be goddamn
But I'll stick around
I'll be your master defender
Yeah, I'll stick around
I'll be your master defender
I have become increasingly interested in these 2 angelic beings for the last 3 years.
Good taste!
"I always thought that you'd be here, but shit gets Fucked up, and people just disappear"
Every song, every video is just fantastic. They are making perfect music that lifts the heart!

That's the thing they want to achieve. :-)
Discovered it yestarday and its instantly my new temporary favourite band!
I really agree with your comment. These two Swedish ladies are doing their country proud!
The best music I have heard for a long time

Mariana Baptista yup i meant position...the word didnt came to my mind. I knew i was using the wrong word, but i just went with it & thanx
Sweet Neon Jesus on a Hot Fudge Sundae, this is a pretty song.
They are just mind blowingly good. No words to describe.
My nan had those lampshades. Great version of a great song 😊
Beautifull song. I've heard them on the "wireless", but had not seen a performance till they appeared on tonights Grham Norton Show. Very impressive musicians.
The emotion these girls put into all their music just makes me so happy.
These sisters are so incredible. Raw.
Seriously, you are my all time favorite modern band.
This version sounds better than original.
Love this one, simplicity of the guitar guiding their lovely voices is refreshing :)
I FUCKING love these guys.
Come see First Aid Kit live! Head to our twitter page for your chance to win tickets to the iTunes festival.
They are like a modern day, female version of Simon & Garfunkel. Brilliant
Right just what I need
Ikr!
It might be "folk"---but it's Viking folk. Great Spirit knows that country needs it now...
I just love them, can't stop listening to their Stay Gold album:)
