The Lion's Roar, 2012
Written by Klara Söderberg, Johanna Söderberg, and Conor Oberst
It's pure Americana folk and I could swear there's a Texas twang, but First Aid Kit is a duo of Swedish sisters. On this song, they're accompanied by co-writer Conor Oberst, who provides a verse; his cutting, tremulous voice is a terrific complement to their confident, pure harmonies. With hand percussion, a Latin-infused horn section, and lilting keyboards, it's a catchy, rollicking ride. The rather abstruse lyrics hint at a narrator wanting to find meaning of an often overwhelming world filled with people, all of whom are finding their own way: "Tell me something real / Tell me something true / I just want to feel there's something left that I can do."
