Really nice "Hallelujah" cover

This girl is pretty good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr_FTm1Gk3Y

In that video she is in 8th grade. A few years later now she's started her own band together with her sister - First aid kit. I'd love to see them as guest singers at a Cohen concert...

Hi rloon,

Thanks for posting this, as I hadn't heard it before. It's a competent version, but hearing "Hallelujah" yet again doesn't do anything for me. I would never have guessed from hearing this, that First Aid Kit would go on to make one of the best albums of the year! So let's add two great tracks from their classic album:

"Emmylou": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC57z-oDPLs&ob=av2e

"This Old Routine": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykUqb_tKbVI

All good things, John E

Glad you like it! I really like the voice of the younger girl, Klara (who is doing the "Hallelujah" cover). They are both good singers but I think she is just outstanding. She's not doing anything fancy, really, but she has such emotion in her voice.

Thanks for adding those two, John. Just Shared them on my Wall on FB, as well as on a friend's.
Glad to see that she [and her sister] stuck with her [their] music. Well done!

I'm pleased to have introduced you to those songs, Lizzie. First Aid Kit are really one of the best new acts around (and Pattie Smith is a big fan of theirs, apparently).

Really!?! Now there's a serious compliment for you!
Yes, thanks for introducing me to them.
