Emmy Lou Harris was a big part of my life, when we were both young. I still have her every album. On vinyl.
She has aged quite well, still the picture of sweetness and grace.
Good job , First Aid Kit and mahalo for this posting.
I cried too
Beautiful, thanks :)
Love First Aid Kit. Surprised they aren’t better known.
Some more music by ‘First Aid Kit’ along with some great visuals.

Beatiful! Really nice!
Love that kind of music.
Won't hear it on "regular" radio though.
How do you find real music like this?
I saw this one three years ago. A VERY NICE TRIBUTE to Emmy Lou but also the great Graham Parsons. These Swedish girls have been doing their homework for years. This shows how our solid country music has a world wide appeal especially in the UK.
Wondeful song. Thanks for posting.
These girls are Swedish.
Incredible they can feel our Country Music soul as they do.
Amazing lyrics from two teen age sisters...
“Emmylou” by First Aid Kit
Oh the bitter winds are coming in
And I’m already missing the summer
Stockholm’s cold but I’ve been told
I was born to endure this kind of weather
When it’s you I find like a ghost in my mind
I am defeated and I gladly wear the crown
I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June
If you’ll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I’m not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me
Now so much I know that things just don’t grow
If you don’t blessed them with your patience
And I’ve been there before I held up the door
For every stranger with a promise
But I’m holding back, that’s the strength that I lack
Every morning keeps returning at my window
And it brings me to you and I won’t just pass through
But I’m not asking for a storm
I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June
If you’ll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I’m not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me
And yes I might have lied to you
You wouldn’t benefit from knowing of the truth
I was frightened but I held fast
I need you now at long last
I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June
If you’ll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I’m not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me
I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June
If you’ll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I’m not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me
Just sing little darling, sing with me
Her performance of Evangeline with The Band on Last Waltz is amazing.

I saw her live once. Unforgettable.
