This is the kind of song that makes me wonder what other incredible songs are just waiting in the corners for me to find. I know I'll never hear them all. It's a small heartbreak but it's real and it makes me all the more grateful for the music that I love.
check out fever ray, the self titled release is one of my favourite albums in the world, idk. it's got something to it that's hard to describe, aside from really high production quality. it's an example for music creating a feeling of togetherness
@@mynameismarlys you're welcome. just found out a few days ago that The Knife is Karin Dreijer (Fever Ray) and their brother, Olof, my mind's still blown. makes me so happy, too, cause without really knowing the original, I've loved the accoustic version of Heartbeats for so many years.. just like I love Karin's music. so it all makes so much sense now. have a good day :)
Yeah this is the first I’ve ever heard this song. Cannons singer said they almost covered it for their covers EP and I decided to check it out. Glad I didn’t miss this!
my dad used to play this in the car when I was small, and we used to jam out to it together and shout the lyrics. I’m 18 now, and I listen to this song all the time. Miss you Dad.
I had no idea that the Jose Gonzalez version of this song was a cover... it sounded so natural and for years now I had associated this song with a sad part of my life. It's kind of wild that now, when I'm happier and healthier, I find the original version of this song and it matches these happy brief moments I find every day. Life is strange!!!!! I love you all in this moment!
Most of Jose Gonzalez's famous songs are covers but the dude makes them their own. Just found his songs 2 weeks back. Tbh I prefer his covers over the original songs
I can't believe I forgot about this song for years. Just heard a half second on some Hulu ad, and like I was absolutely possessed found this song again
at least one of the best swedish songs. no one isn't even close to Di Leva, Depeche Mode are the only ones who beats him, but this is in my top 30 swedish songs (if I cut down Di Leva to 50% of those 30)
@@JohnHoward_ look up the acoustic original take on "Heartbeats" by Jose Gonzales. Also look up some electronica out of Iceland, like Apparat Organ Quartet... :)
The is album just turned 20 and it has aged like fucking wine. This sounds like something that could have dropped last week. I'm amazed at how well this song in particular has held up. Bravo.
So many of the sounds and styles they used slowly started being used in other songs over time, they were one of those lesser known people that the big ones are influenced by
This has been one of my favorite songs for more than a decade now. I believe I first heard this song in 2010. I don't know what my life would be if I never heard it. I can't remember how I came about it's
@@aidantuckwell9191 the drums used in this song are the drums used for basically all "cumbia" music which I find really cool because the genres are just Soo different. Some examples of cumbia you might be familiar with are some of Selena songs , the ones that were more dance and uplifting. You will hear it pretty much right away.

A song that within one second immediately takes you to a private place that only you know, a place that no one else will ever understand or fully experience.
11 years ago my best friend in high school showed me this song and The Knife in general and changed my perspective on music forever. This is still and will always be one of if not my favorite song of all time.
I decided a long time ago that this was my favourite song ever written. I've been listening to it for like 16 ( or more) years now and it has lost zero power.
My cousin died back in 07 and his brother played a video at his funeral attended by hundreds and this was the background song and all I remember people saying after at my aunts house was how much they missed him and how much they loved the video!! This song is fucken life Thank you for making it! RIP Alex Cohn
This is playing in the background of one of my favorite videos with her. We're talking and out of no where she pauses, does this long hum and spontaneously does this little dance that blends into the song, I don't know how to describe it but it was beautiful. I broke what ever it was because I wanted to make the "right" choices for my family and I left her and I regret it. I wish I would have burned with her but instead I chose someone who I didn't love out of duty to my family.
Life is a cruel mistress at times. I know that feeling of regret. At 43 years of age I have had many opporrunities to make the dumbest choices. All you can do is your best and roll with it. Dwelling on it helps absolutely no one. That being said, it is so incredibly hard to not dwell on life changing mistakes.
I so remember seeing this video when it came out and I was 12 years old. Brings me way back to easier and more fun times. Love The Knife, one of Sweden's gems!
Love all your comments, The Knife KILLS it every time. So heartfelt and always pushing the envelope. This song is BOMB. Music gives me reasons to live!
I listened to this song when I went to college across the country, living on campus, didnt know anyone, but as I started enjoying my classes and making friends, it just felt like a timestamp of a song. It doesnt matter where I'm at when I hear this song again in 2022, Im transported. I love this song. It makes me Happy/sad.
How, can these guys ONLY have 11M views and 90k subs? This truly is one of the best songs ever made. Beyond under-rated. It's a crime that more people don't know about it. We need a campaign to get this song out there more. This was posted 13 years ago! We must act, for the benefit of music listening humanity.
@@Fopenplop I hear you. I just wish more people knew about it. It's a truly amazing piece of music by any standard. It deserves an even broader audience.
@@TruthWiz It's probably a coincidence, but you'll be glad to know I just heard this song on the radio yesterday, so it seems your prayers are being heard :)
I remember being in the 5th grade in the early 2000's and jamming to this like crazy with my sisters in our isolated apartment on saturday mornings. We'd also listen to the funeral album by arcade fire, beulah, modest mouse, the postal service and having a blast listening to "how we do" by mount sims and not having the faintest idea what it was about lol. I'm turning 30 in a few months; wow time flies fast
Still listening in 2023 after finally deciding to watch New Amsterdam where the Jose Gonzalez cover played. Amazing cover but this original will always be my jam and I love the video too.
Ah nostalgia. I haven't listened to this in a while, but there's that moment when you're sitting around, bored and you think "I haven't listened to this song in a while", so you listen to it again and it just feels so good again.
I used to work at Mc Donald’s and my manager used to play The Knife while we were working or cleaning. We are now great friends , she taught me a lot,she is someone I can trust in. Tonight, listening to The Knife, my Heartbeats feels like memories before my eyes. I will never forget our times working together. Blessing for you my friend😲😎😊😊😊🥹🥹
Hi would love to know what you think of my 18 year old grandsons acoustic cover of this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g2pBWcU-RfM.html
i remember discovering this while studying for finals, i fell in love immidiately and probably listened to it a million times now, this will forever remind me of my college times
My husband left to come back to his home when our relationship was in its infancy. We spent our last night together and this song popped up on one of his Playlists. Was one of the most emotional moments we've shared. We're very level. This song reminds me I never want to feel like that again. I couldn't listen to it again until reconnected a couple months later. I moved halfway across the country to be with him. We're pregnant after 6 years of the best times ever. Reminds me how lucky I am. I can't imagine how many miles stones this is a track for world wide.
@@bryanwooden9245 what the fuck are you talking about, psycho? My husband didn't cheat on me lol. Sounds like you got cheated on. What's the matter with you? He liked this song. We made memories to this song.
@@bryanwooden9245 he never cheated. He came back to his home town. He left to come visit me after a long time talking online. He decided the city was not for him, and that being away from his family was very hard. After he left... I hated being away from him, so I moved. We spent 2 years getting to know eachother before we made a leap. When I moved... we were committed. We've been together for a long time. I think you just made the biggest ass on the internet for the day out of yourself. Congrats. Duuuurrrr.
Every once in a while I'll hear the first 2 seconds of this song and have to explain to people around me why this little slab of synth pop is utterly beautiful. Who doesn't want to be in love and in a world of 10 days of perfect tunes? This is one of mine. Glorious.
Thanks for making me think about the lyrics more. Ten days of perfect anything will certainly put your heart in the right place for love, and since music says so much with so little, I guess that's a whole lot of perfect to start any relationship off with. Those relationships often start with some acquaintance gifting you a mix tape, or CD, or I guess just sharing a playlist these days.
If my friends ever need me to explain why I love a song or riff or chord, I tell them to jog off. The music speaks for itself and it answers to no one.
This song always reminds me of my first year dating my fiance. I started a tradition...every year I would create a little slideshow of all the pics we took together the previous year. This song was opening song of the first ever slideshow I made for us and it was somehow perfect. So, every time I hear this song it brings me nostalgic feelings. Plus it's a great song all on its own.
i once had a friend who introduced me to the knife and ffs i would kiss her feet, if i ever met her again. this band is amazing and underrated af! i recently noticed some new activities on spotify and i am very exited!
never heard this song before today... when i shazamed it off NPR 💀 they were using it as bumper music, so whoever picks that stuff is doing an awesome job 💯
This song gives me such a big nostalgia attack, I heard it when my dad was listening to it and because english is not my mother language I didn’t even know how to speak it but I was still completely vibing to this song and it was my favorite for some time. Now it reminds me of some good old memories and it’s amazing!
Most of the Knifes music is really nostalgic to me because my parents used to play them all the time when I was younger. My mum even had Pass this on as her ringtone on her old phone. I also think that I owe a lot of nostalgia to the fact that I grew up in the same apartment complex as them
Every few years I go....’dam that awesome song....what was it called?!’ Had the mad video with the skateboarders...... Here we are....see you in a couple of years

A true gem, always has been and always will be. The Knife and Blindside were foundational bands for my sense of the world and across the border there was also Röyksopp to enlighten me.
I feel like I speak a different language to everyone else, but when I hear this song, its as if the music speaks specifically to me, and in my language. How does music do that?
I like both the original version and the Jose Gonzalez version. I heard this one first. When I heard the JG version, I thought "what an interesting take on the song, I would have never imagined anyone to take it in this direction." I love covers, especially out of genre covers. What I like the most is that the two songs give me different feelings. The K version gives me a sense of happiness, while the JG version conveys a sense of melancholy. I don't know which side of a quarter is better, I'm just happy to be a whole quarter richer.
