Cardigans, The - Losing A Friend Lyrics

I love this song, this record, this band.

Always gives me chills

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

amazing!

Unforgetable!

wonderful!!!!

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. 

wow i love the cardigans sublime song thank you

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

drummer needs work

Brilliant

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

WHOA! Yes she does!

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

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

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

@1990Dini i know how you feel :'(

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 :(

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

I lost my best friend. FUCK

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 :(

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

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

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

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

Hell of a good song:)

the Cardigans !!!!!!

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

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

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

I can relate to this song

un. der. rate. ed. ....

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

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

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.......

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

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

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

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

Missing The Cardigans...

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

they are under rated. all their cds are very good

bobbelibob you know why it's the same? BECAUSE THIS GIRL JUST NEVER SINGS IT'S ALLWAYS F..ING PLAYBACK. Try finding a live version of 'I NEED SOME FINE WINE' that's not playback. you won't find it. she sucks.

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

Oh dude... I think it's perfect

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

My mothers cousin :)

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.

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.

Whatever, troll...

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

Yeeee. And pope is black..

It's not playback.

Super Extra Gravity. The album.

whats SEG?

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

The drums are interesting decision :)

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.

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.

Thanks for posting this song.

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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...

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.

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

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

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!

This is one the greatest bands of all time.

killer version :)

jos palaria,bag pula!

beautiful.

Där fram med!

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

Nina does funny facial expressions at the end.

and i'll never have her

GORGEOUS song.
perfect.
xx

Nina Persson is hot , I love Her .

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

Well, at least the first band on the moon.

Great, thanks!

beaultiful... what more can I say?

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

perfect!
little sarcastic,and great song and lyrics!

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

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