The mixing on this song is extremely unique and very subdued for a rock group. The super clean rhythm guitars, the almost non existent kick drum, and even just the little weird stuff like the snare being hard panned to the right make the song really dynamic and airy in a way I never would think to take a mix of this genre, very inspiring tbh.
@@Leri-K Peter and Magnus were metal heads before they started the band... their album Gran Turismo was the closest to rock they got but I’m still not sure if I’d consider them a rock group because their style has changed so much
So good. How did these guys come up with their sound in the 90s of all times. So inventive and interesting. I was so into the heavy stuff back in the day. I really only know their major radio songs. Discovering them again for the first time.
The kid captures the lonesomeness and frustrations of boyhood adolescences paired with a beautiful and talented young woman. I know it all too well. Cool vid.
Justin Greene i'm so agree with you on that one because all the albums from The Cardigans are really really great and their songs are so damn good that i can listen to them over and over again all the time and i never get tired of them.
Emmerdale 1994. I first learned how to play this song on guitar in high school in 2009 or so. First song my girlfriend (now wife) heard me play in 2015. Been playing it on and off for 5 years and she’s sick and tired of it because it’s all I play. It just sounds so good 😊
Oh. I still struggle to figure out these jazzy chords. But I love this song. Would you share a quick tab? I suspect there's a fair share of diminished and augmented chords in there.
grmpf That goes for a lot of rock bands that include random horn sections in their tracks. It’s usually a side effect of them having played that instrument in school before moving to guitar/keys/vocals and just wanting to throw a little part of it onto one song. Most great horns in rock were done by a session band a la Radiohead’s Life In A Glasshouse. However I can attest to it being a fun little experiment even if you can’t play that well. I can’t play my alto sax for shit anymore but given enough time and takes I can get it sounding good enough to sit in a mix without being distracting.
Same! I only knew their songs after their smash hit Lovefool, but he showed some songs of their before the hit and now I realized I really like them lol
Same here! I didn't know they were THIS good & when I heard this song playing, I went to find more of their music, randomly clicked this one, & it was the song I was looking for!
I've always loved their music. Since the first time I heard this song. Then I watched the videoclip and found out I had a crush on Nina. I was 15 or 16 back in the days... I still think their songs are awesome.
"Ah, the instrumentation in this song is nice". The first impression I had about this song more than twenty years ago, and I still am thinking that the instrumentation is so nice.
Now that you mention it, it sounds to me like the drums could have maybe been brought up a bit more by the mixer operator/producer. But I'm only a listener, and potential CD customer.
This was their first album, they're a converted metal band too. It sounds to me like the drums weren't miced enough, or they were lacking tracks to do so, this was recorded in 1993 or 1994. The likelihood is the thinness with the drums is lack of available tracks to record them with. (i recorded albums back in 1999 and 2000 I know the technical issues they were up against)
46 yr old tears for 16 yr old "charms". How can the song still apply? and describe the same feelings and "symptoms so deep"? ..."so spare me if you please"...
Fuck - were they great in the 90's.... When they played LIVE here in small Clubs, they always allowed me to have a Drink with them backstage... :) (Pat, Switzerland)
Great under rated song,great under rated band,I hope they are doing well we all love you for giving us good music and giving us hope during this unusual time!!!?
Damn what a beautiful song this is because Nina's voice are so cute beautiful and unique as always and i really really love her and that really awesome Volvo pv 544 that are one of the most beautiful cars that are made in sweden. And Volvo and The Cardigans are the best things that has came from sweden ever.
