The Cardigans - Losing A Friend (Live on Nyhetsmorgon) 

VERY few groups such as the 'Cardigans' maintain such a continued presence in the music world as they continue to do. I won't try to explain this, as obviously there IS a reason they are still present, and still so popular. I don't even particularly like this song {but I adore other Cardigan songs} but I recognize the reason others may like it. Take care all, -Prometheus.

Super Extra Gravity is a great, great album... love the Cardigans

Esta música faz parte do meu álbum favorito. E a Nina arrasando com sua voz maravilhosa!

That took out a chunk out of my soul - powerful song. The Cardigans forever!

Omg...... I couldn't listen to 20 seconds of the song without crying! I reallymiss my best friend but she told me that she does not want to be my friend 4 times! I think I get it out now youu B!!!!!!!!!!but I really miss her :(

a song to get drunk to. i really like this band and almost all of their work.

Always gives me chills

great lyricist. The words' fairness and clarity are impressive because the emotions are so intense

I appreciate that this lady is authentic and not some trained commercial puppet.

Hell of a good song:)

Very powerful! I'm really digging Nina's voice. It sounds so sexy with just a little bit of a scratch to it.

i cant say she impresses me very much when singing live, and i had heared this before.. but 'long gone before daylight' is like the god among my albums.. its so full of life, i feel every line she sings on that album.. my goddd(es)

This is one the greatest bands of all time. killer version :)

I posted a story about a friend of mine who loved the song "paralyzed"...I got this CD only a few days before I found out she'd overdosed on meth...the album hadn't come out in the US yet, a friend of mine in Germany sent it to me when it came out there. Another eery moment with me and the cardigans....I love them so much!

Unforgetable!

wow i love the cardigans sublime song thank you

Yeah!!! Please, come back with a new album Cardigans

Listening in 2020

Wow, I can relate to this. Makes me so sad...

i love how nina´s voice sounds kinda scratchy. one of their best live performances i have seen so far!

he pérdido vari@s amigos y esta canción realmente me hace recordarlos... so sad.

they are under rated. all their cds are very good

Missing The Cardigans...

I'm missing my old best friend :( we're not friends anymore since last year, but I'm missing her like hell :'(

it sounds terrific!!! these guys are genious!!!

Oh dude... I think it's perfect

beautiful.

you´re definitely right...."long gone before daylight" is an absolutely brilliant album, mainly because there´s just NO weak song on it! and of course because it includes the best song ever - "lead me into the night" is THE song...genius...

perfect! little sarcastic,and great song and lyrics!

amazing!

WHOA! Yes she does!

can't get this song out of my head... I wonder why.

Thanks for posting this song.

beaultiful... what more can I say?

Reminds me something that happened me... I´m losing a friend!!!!! when i was a in my teen!!!

Great, thanks!

i lost my best friend at the end of grade 10. we were best friends since we were in grade 5. i'll never know the real reason why she left, she claims our friendship grew apart. She basically threw away her past and hurt alot of friends. I still miss you Katie :(

This song could be a number 1 in every country.. Why didnt they release as a single?!!

For me she looks like Kirsten Dunst a lot of times. Well, Kirsten looks like her, since Nina is older hehehe Great Cardigans!

wonderful!!!!

i lost my two best friends, and then a week ago i told my other best friend that i liked him and now he's just avoiding me. but if you love somone you can let them go,and if it's meant to be,they'll come back. well i hope that happens because i don't know what i could do without him. i would talk to him from 9pm-1am everyday and we would just talk,and he would ask me questions about myself. but that probably won't happen anymore. and i think i just lost him.......

No, Nina looked best with long black hair. But she always looks great. And Great perfomance. I love it!

I can relate to this song

I juat lost a friend tonight, he decide to not talk to me anymore, for a really miataken reason. Then i remembered this song.

i hate the fact this came up in recomended for you...cos right now i think i am loosing/lost a firend :'(

Nina is absolutely hot here, especially with this scratchy gorgeous voice

Super Extra Gravity. The album.

Ok...My friend was right!They are amazing! :P

Brilliant

Você está perdendo um amigo You're losing a friend Você entendeu tudo errado You got it all wrong Não se trata de vingança It's not about revenge Mas você está perdendo um amigo But you're losing a friend Eu não vi isso chegando I didn't see it coming Com a cabeça presa na areia With my head stuck in the sand Mas agora estou perdendo um amigo But now I'm losing a friend E isso está me mantendo acordado And it's keeping me up São as fitas que amarrei It's the ribbons I tied Eu preferiria simplesmente morrer I would rather just die Vá para o inferno e rasteje de volta Go to hell and crawl back Do que deixar você ir Than let you go Você está perdendo um amigo You're losing a friend Você me coloca em risco You jeopardize me Sangue ruim em suas mãos Bad bad blood on your hands E veja, você está perdendo um amigo And see, you're losing a friend Sou inconstante e vaidoso I'm fickle and I'm vain E você me engana uma e outra vez And you trick me over and over again E agora estou perdendo você And now I'm losing you E isso está me matando And it's killing me São as cordas que eu amarro It's the strings that I tie Eu preferiria simplesmente morrer I would rather just die Vá para o inferno e rasteje de volta Go to hell and crawl back Então deixe tudo ir Then let it all go Meu erro My mistake Para perder você To lose you Ah não, ah não! Oh no, oh no! Então este é o fim agora So this the end now Estou perdendo você I'm losing you Ah, olhe para você! Oh, look at you! Olha o que você está desperdiçando Look what you're wasting Você está perdendo um amigo You're losing a friend Ah não, ah não! Oh no, oh no! Estou perdendo um amigo I'm losing a friend Ah, ah, ah, não Oh, oh oh no

Yeah, I think so too. Amplification of instruments is usually very loud for rock/pop concerts.

the Cardigans !!!!!!

Actually, if you play the album version along with this version, it does sound like a playback. HOWEVER, it isn't because of the slight tempo changes they make here. Plus, her voice cracks at 3:10 on this video which doesn't happen on the album version.

Nina does funny facial expressions at the end.

I liked her with the short blonde hair and when she was ever so slightly chubby.

it's the ribbons i tied i'd rather just die

as time goes by, nina persson is beginning to look more and more like katherine hellman from the movie brazil.

I'd say the quality is varying quite a lot from one live performance to the other. she does however sound pretty strained alot of the time. The strange thing is that you can hear she should be able to sing it effortlessly... One thing is really great though; she always sounds like herself, and you can tell her style comes naturally to her, not like some singers who have a more 'conciously deliberate' sound.

and i'll never have her

this song is ultimate redemption for anyone who ever had a friend who tried to break down your door and beat the living fuck out of you...AND FAILED!! hahaha

she can be a cute girl, she can be a mature lady, and i love both.

😍

The drums are interesting decision :)

Have you heard the record? It's the same - the drums are very loud. It's supposed to sound like that.

@1990Dini i know how you feel :'(

@posionousfire sorry i can't help but wonder...how's it going?! did you get him back, or did you lose him?

Yea, I agree, nice.. But why playback?

@posionousfire normally i wouldnt care about other peoples issues but ive been there haha.

My mothers cousin :)

Well, at least the first band on the moon.

@garfreeek i lost him. i haven't talked to him in a while, but i'm actually better off without him.

@codyelir their new shit mostly isn't very great, but their old shit is great

wait... WHO IS YOUR MOTHER'S COUSIN??? Is she part of the Cardigans or something?

whats SEG?

Mi to na prawdę obojętne czy ona śpiewa z playbacku czy nie, ale w tym przypadku nie jest to playback. Wydaje Ci się bo video jest rozsynchronizowane. Mam tą płytę i specjalnie jeszcze raz przesłuchałem ten kawałek więc wiem na 100% że to zupełnie inna wersja. Szczególnie, że tutaj brzmi znacznie gorzej niż na płycie (nic dziwnego). Przesłuchaj sobie lepiej jeszcze raz wersji albumowej jeśli mi nie wierzysz.

i thought i was the only one who thought she looks like kirsten dunst. lol

I like nina but her voice has changed alot since emmerdale and such, it could be just the way she is singing but I think her voice has "deterioated" (in the best possible way) They say your peak singing voice is when your just out of adolescence. Don't get me wrong I love it but just an observation.

It's not playback.

I lost one of my best friends over stupid fights and lies..

no , it isnt playbak...its just out of syncro (video and audio).

s it me or nina looks a lot like kirsten dust?

There's just something about when you half suspect it's lip synching, unit there's just one tiny mistake that shows they're playing it live.

I lost my best friend. FUCK

i lost my friend and i miss her very much, even though she`s a bitch!...

why ? why ? ...... why ???? ..... hmm ...

She always sounds great in a studio singing live, and less on a concert stage. Maybe it's to do with acoustics, or she gets nerves before an audience, I have no idea. She can sing perfectly live. Maybe the playback of instruments live often is too loud, her voice is very fragile, so she overstresses.

Whatever, troll...

piss poor live. barely stays in pitch. I think she just can't be bothered to keep her voice in good condition. Maybe she lost interest in singing years ago, so doesn't practice much. Shame really, she's got one of the best natural voices ever.

eww

Don't be so naive. She sounds exactly the same as the album version. THIS IS PLAYBACK and even dumb knows it. Look how she acts at 3.10. I like The Cardigans, but shows like this are.. shite. Koleś, to jest jakiś śniadaniowy program, więc to oczywiste, że jebią z playbacku. Pogódź się z tym. Tym bardziej, że tak naprawdę od First Band On The Moon, pomijając kilka solidnych utworów nie nagrali żadnej dobrej płyty.

drummer needs work
