First Aid Kit - You Are The Problem Here flac album

We caught up with First Aid Kit to talk about their new album 'Ruins' (due out this Friday 19th) and also the writing and reaction to 'You Are the Problem Here'. That song was written and fuelled by pure anger, Klara states. It wasn’t like ‘Oh we’re gonna write a political song!’ it just happened because it needed to be written. With Klara and Johanna having performed 'You Are the Problem Here' live across the world, the message and intent of the song have chimed with wider movements in 2017 to stamp out sexual misconduct. It’s great that the song has grown, now with the movement, we’re really talking about it and it gets brought up in every interview and we think it’s really important to bring these issues u. .It’s just shocking that it took so long for it to get truly recognised. It just feels important, Klara concludes. It feels too important not to, to do it and talk about it.

First Aid Kit have announced that all proceeds will go to Women for Women International. Our message is clear and should not be controversial in the least: if you rape, you are the problem.

For now, you can listen to the song below. The Avett Brothers announce new album, release single and music video.

Addressing men who commit rape and sexual assault to minimal, if any, consequences, the song is a departure from the Swedish siblings’ typical folk rock leanings. Using power guitar chords as a background, the Söderbergs lambaste a world where there are All these women with their dreams shattered/ From some man’s sweaty, desperate touch. You Are the Problem Here' isn’t a typical First Aid Kit-song, the band explained to Stereogum. It’s angry and direct. Produced by Tucker Martine. Album Tender Offerings EP. I’ve Wanted You Lyrics. There's this image of you that I can't shake That day we drove out to the ocean So many things I wanted to say But I knew it, it was all in vain. Life doesn't give you hoops to jump through It gives you tireless roads to cross This sadness came over me So in love, so at a loss. I've wanted you For so very long. This is what time does to us We try to fight and never win There's no plot to follow here Just repetition of the same old sin. But I keep thinking that I've found it A way to fill up the empty parts in me If it's all temporary I guess I'll have to wait and see. But I've wanted you For so very long Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh. The woman who lives above me I hear her listen to the radio She loves the old time stations They sing "Lover, don't let me go". I am so sick and tired of this world All these women with their dreams shattered From some man's sweaty, desperate touch God damn it, I've had enough When did you come to think refusal was sexy? Can't you see the tears in her eyes? How did you ever think you had the right to Put your entitled hands up her thighs? You are the problem here You are the problem here No one made you do anything You are the problem here You are the problem here No one made you do anything. And I And I hope you fucking suffer

Sweden’s First Aid Kit have always been a bittersweet pleasure. When they first emerged in 2008, the Söderberg sisters’ poised campfire harmonies ached in inverse proportion to their tender years (18 and 15). Their third album, Stay Gold, successfully sold the Swedes’ folk-pop back to the US, albeit garnering Abba comparisons. On their fourth effort, First Aid Kit sound more hurt than ever, if just as mellifluous. Johanna and Klara Söderberg wrote the album when the latter was reeling from a break-up, trying to achieve resolution through the band’s signature balm. You long to hear First Aid Kit do some damage – as on their one-off track for International Women’s Day 2017, You Are the Problem Here, which laid into abusive men: I hope you fucking suffer.

You Are the Problem Here" isn't a typical First Aid Kit-song. It's angry and direct. It's a song written out of despair. After reading about yet another rape case where the perpetrator was handed a sentence which did not at all reflect the severity of his crime we felt upset and vengeful.
