This protest song was written in the early sixties by Buffy Sainte-Marie. It's about individual responsibility for war. We wanted to sing this song because, unfortunately, what Buffy sang about at her time is still is so true today and will probably be so for years to come. We changed the lyrics a bit to make it more relevant to today's society.
Enjoy. :)
First Aid Kit's latest album 'Ruins' is available now: smarturl.it/FAK-Ruins

Nice to see a younger generation keeping Buffy Sainte-Marie's message alive. Her music comes alive with Your voices. Sisters, sing out! Sing on!

i am a 68 yr old english country music fan, was looking for Lucinda Williams & Emmylou, was led to these young ladies ! , can't believe their 1st album was in 2010. They are so fresh, so naive , - extraordinary and wonderful

Sadly, this song is still relevant today. I guess it's fitting that I stumbled across this great version on Memorial Day. Great job. I literally got chills up and down my back listening to this. Great job.

What an exquisite rendition of this song. You have made it heartbreakingly beautiful, and as meaningful today as when it was written 50 years ago! It is especially meaningful this week, the 70th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Thank you!

An image i was working on reminded me of this Buffy Sainte-Marie song and my search led me here after one of her performances of it. This is a marvelously minimalist but expansively expressive interpretation of this song. So glad i found it.

@faisalb8003 9 лет назад

Thank you. From the bottom of my heart I say it, thank you. Your change of the lyrics and the way you performed the song left me overwhelmed. You have created something so beautiful and so relevant to our time. Again, thank you.

@da959 12 лет назад

I'm so glad I happened to click on the videos of First Aid Kit.There's nothing more powerful than their voices versus the electronically manipulated "crap" that is out there today. This is as raw as it gets and I for one like it a lot! This is what true tallent is all about.. You girls are simply AWESOME!!

@petervonzurmuehlen 14 лет назад

wow. I love this. I have liked this song for a long time. It came to me first from Donovan. These two woman are simply great.

@resultofbrainbirth 13 лет назад

When I watch this, I feel like I've been shipped back to the late 60's. They're voices, they're clothes, the songs meaning - its awesome.

@mickbutler1752 10 лет назад

I grew up with Buffy's version and thought I would hate this but its absolutely brilliant. They nailed the message and emotion with a modern twist. The song makes me think of my late father who fought in WW2 and how it affected him.

@kmerrill4444 12 лет назад

This is why art exists. To express the most powerful messages in the most beautiful form possible. This is a truly amazing cover, and I think you two really added something more to the already profound message of this song. So awe-inspiring.

@CANDYZANE69 7 лет назад

Your voices sound so much like the 60's folk music, but modern. I love your music. I grew up hearing all of this kind of music. My mom always sang to us when we were little.

@davidhorn6008 3 года назад

These two girls, unfortunately do not sing many songs that I like, however I have never heard anyone, (including Dillon and Buffet San Marie), inject as much feeling a meaning into this song making The Message so much more powerful than before. I wish them well.

I bought Donovan's 45 rpm of Universal Soldier in the 1960s .... Thank you for updating and carrying on Buffy Saint Mrie's message of peace and personal choices. It may be more important now than it was when I was young. I was 16 when I bought that record. I'm 62 now, and true peace still eludes us.

@sleekwalrus 4 года назад

I love first aid kit and I love Buffy Sainte Marie. I thought when I first heard Wolf that there was an influence there. Impressed that they've kept the integrity of the song yet put their own stamp on it. Maybe they should look at covering some more of Buffy's songs like after the buffalo's gone. We need to keep reminding people of fist nation Canadians and native American plight that still goes on today.
