First Aid Kit - Master Pretender Lyrics
Never thought that I was weak
Always thought I could get hurt pretty bad
Still get up on my own two feet
I always believed that I was free
That would rise above whatever tried to change me
But honey, now I won't wait
For something to bring me round and smile
'Cause that only sticks for a while
Then I'm back again
Oh, I'm a master pretender
I always knew that I was young
I could fool almost anyone
I never expected to be struck
By the fatal hands of fortune or by sheer bad luck
Now we won't change
And memories just rearrange
And fall into place
So I'm back again
Oh, I'm a master pretender
All the streets of New York City
Sure look pretty from way up here
And I was headed home, just felt more alone
The further I'd go
I always thought that you'd be here
But shit gets fucked up and people just disappear
So honey, now, don't be mad
Time has told me it can't be that bad
And if it is, well, I'll be goddamn
But I'll stick around
I'll be your master defender
Yeah, I'll stick around
I'll be your master defender

Really brilliant song, the end parts i love really nice , oboe also interesting inclusion in a pop/country song steel guitar very well used this is good
Best Lyric of Klara and Joanna , " shit gets fucked up...." love it girls! LOVE IT! more more more I Demand more of this!
I'm a Mediocre Pretender, but a Master Baiter.
So fitting to my feelings right now.
Just discovered group...by way of video 'Gravity is Overrated" and must say I love the music...
And listening to this duo.....have fallen in love with their sound and style....
Like they say...'better late than never'....so glad to have found them...
Their talent and harmonies and words.... are perfect....(videos great too.)...makes me happy.
Cant control the flow of the river
I always thought it said "Thomas told me it can't be that bad".... But who would Thomas be...?
i love the 2:57 part
Their lyrics man❤️❤️
When I listen to this I picture Mei and Satsuki from Totoro as the two little girls.
this song is awesome!!!!!! greetings from Turkey :)
Reminds me of Lyra Belaqua
Peng tune
Thanks God i have discovered you girls ...
how could anyone dislike this video
Isn’t it strange how some brilliant artists can create such wonderful music and still have such silly political and religious views like First Aid Kit!?
WebDialogue.eu I don't know much about these girls can you elaborate please ???
How so? What have they said?
hel om zytah
Nice Nick Drake reference toward the end.
Never to late to have LIfe slap you and say wake up. Your time is almost up. So thank you for sharing your Music and parts of your soul with the world. Thank you and bless you and yours always
Great Lyrics ...Cool Video !!!
They are so underrated... *heavy sigh*
this song is gonna stay one of my favs for my whole life. ❤
OMG! This is SO CUTE!!! <3 :D
what a nice video!
LOVE THE VIDEO 2 222
Great great songwriters/lyricist! From Sweden's finest! X
I always thought that you'd be here.
THIS VIDEO PRESENTATION IS INCREDIBLE--GREAT MINDS CREATED IT !!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by far my favorite of all the videos
not only are they (1st aid kit) great, so are you lot! 186 comments and not 1 troll, there is hope for humanity yet!
where are New Songs???did they stopped their career? What happened?
After 5-6 years on the road they took a break, but they have been in the studio again, In Portland I hope for a P Buck visit, No date for a new album but new shows for the summer (-17)
Good news...
Ruins!!
Hitting like earlier than usual already. So far i like what i hear from this new band to me. Discovered it by playng Tales From The Borderlands. <3
Pretender to Defender, with a few life lessons.
Love you guys
NASA and astronauts are master pretenders... the globe earth is too.
very lovely!
this is jast beautiful💕
wonderful music!
Absolutely love the unique sound and gorgeous harmonizing of these two sisters! So glad I came across them performing My Silver Lining on "Later with Joels Holland" Loved that song, but think this and Wolf are even more interesting! Can't wait to buy their albums! Hope they tour the eastern US states again since I see they were apparently around these parts two years ago.
for ages I thought the line was "Thomas told it doesn't matter...." and I got so confused wondering "who's Thomas?" shows how great my hearing is(!)....
I've only just now realised that they don't say Thomas at all 😂
Me too, I was thinking it was because I could not understand because of my real language, but now I see its not because of thsi
te gek voor woorden , too go nuts as dutchman
I have this band on my radar, for only less a year. WOW, i really appreciate them and love some of their songs, so much. Keep up the good work, ladies!
ķeep running creatures
Song of the day 29/06/2016: "You higher men, the worst about you is that all of you have not learned to dance as one must dance---dancing away over yourselves! What does it matter that you are failures? How much more is still possible!" FN
06-10-2018—i’ll stick around.
Hey, Iain. Ram it/
Şarki çok hoş😍
My dad like this video😊
Artistic licence at 2:23
I really, really like this! Wow. I especially like the verse of 'shit gets fucked up and people just disappear' cuz it's true. This was very creative. Good job!
oh my my !
I found myself, somewhere !
Amazing! I love the art for the video... how did you do this??????? Is it paper? (Btw this is my FAV band <3)
no its computer animation
their music is like my favorite singer '' Aurora " it's almost the same music... so amazing 😍
I also like AUrora but I think that she has her own style and this is very, very different
Does anybody know if they're still together?
+Birb Mom (Birb mom) they're sisters
+Les Homme-Crabes sont partout! I mean as a band
Pretty sure they are.
I just want them to come to Ireland to see them in concert🇮🇪 I just want to see them and Coldplay then I will be so happy ❤️ I'm ten so I haven't seen Coldplay yet xD
I love this song so much but i don't understand the meaning
Can anyone tell me about meaning behind song please?
It's about growing up and things changing and not always working out how you thought but you learn to deal with it by pretending to be good at it. For me anyways. I relate!
@Shireen clemintine Thank you :)
Amo essa música ♥
I would subscribe 10000 times if I could! sadly, I can only 1 time :)
Great tune....but I was shocked they actually swore in the song.....I didn't think that was in the two girls vocabulary.....
+Space Camp This isn't true for every single person, but swearing is extremely common in Swedish. The only people I know that don't are two friends of mine who are Christian, and also my grandmother... or at least I haven't reacted to it.
these girls have such beautiful voices . Love Em
Love this
türk varmı türk??
boşver bilmesin kimse böyle daha değerli. ;)
My new favourite band <3
Your song to Emmylou brought me here......Keep it up......MAKE A DIFFERENCE.....you are on the right road.
struck home
My 2yr old daughter and I love this track xx
A música, destas gurias, é fantástica. São músicas que eu não canso de escutar.
Visste du att de är svenska?
Så jag duh😁
when heard that girls voice......
your music is so peacefull 😍😁
Lovely song! Love it!! cheers from Indonesia✌
What genre? Country, folk?
Sonds good to me.
Thanks everyone^.^
+NimbleStep Indie Folk. :)
@Grace Charlton People always discusssing what cind of music First Aid Kit is playing.F A K themselves say American folk rock pop country.Neither F A K or I really don´t care,sounds good though.
Who cares?!? It’s amazing! 😉🤗
I've gotta say this is probably the most creative music video I've ever viewed. It's cute/adorable, heartfelt, happy and just plain cool.
I love the way the video portrays big sissy looking out after little sissy.
I guess that's where the adoration comes to play.
Kudos to all involved in creating this and THANK YOU!
Never the less, I thank you, @*****
@***** & @Lucas Beths...OMGawd... thank you, thank you and thank you both.
I love that song Of Monsters and Men, Little Talks! I didn't realize they were the ones that did this. And you are 'both' absolutely right, their videos are absolutely, spectacular.
This is what I meant by a few messages ago, that the best music I find, is by stumbling upon it or buy friends like you both, who turn me on to it.
I very seldom, listen to radio anymore. Because of the internet, this is where I find wonderful music.
Again, thanks, many thanks to the two of you.
One more thing, I will be searching for more of their music (Of Monsters and Men) and I will now, include in my library of music. XO
PS. Check out http://vk.com. I have over 775 songs that I have accumulated over the past three years with this account. It's FREE and you can download any tune you want, as long as they have it in their library, for absolutely $zero. You can also listen to these songs offline, in case your internet is ever interrupted. It's really great to be able to plug my phone into my truck stereo or home stereo and listen away for the awesome price of $nothing.
My pen name on http://vk.com is TicTic. Look me up!
By the way, http://vk.com is another social website. They offer a whole lot of different things that Google Plus and Facebook does not. A lot of their stuff is in Russian so you may want to use Google Translate. It's a European website.
I hope we can chat again soon. Sorry this was somewhat lengthly.
Peace Out, Chuck
+Chuck Dean you're welcome my friend :)
@Lucas Beths
I absolutely love your tagline..."lol" made me smile.
I know this is old, but have you heard of easy way out by gotye? That's one of my favorite music videos of all time, it's just so cool, you should check that one out :)
Love this so much, and how you can hear them at the end :)
Hey! I hope you guys are well, enjoying the break :-) xo happy holidays!
And I am a master pretender
Love the video
Is MOA here ?!
Charming video from one charming band. Brava!
Their songs are good for my videos!!!! Especially "When I Grow Up" and "Wolf"
I don't like Folk Music, it just freakin' depresses me. But I sure dig this song. Good job FAK - you just may have I folk music hating fan...
Sound and look very similar to the monsters and men. Love it.
That's what I was thinking! !
Love these girls. Great sound, great lyrics, great looks. Seems like I have to look to Sweden to hear real music with substance, remeniscent to the days of the 60's and 70's. Listen to what we have to hear on the radio day after day these days???? Meaningless crap by the likes of Katie Perry, Selena Gomez, Cyrus, Bieber....you get the picture. Cheers from Canada.
The USA is chock full of bands who sound like this, old man. This isn't new or original in any way. And it's your own fault you DON'T KNOW how to look for new music and obviously don't feel like it. So your only solution is to shit on pop music for teenagers who can't be bothered, which has always existed. It's time for you to stop being a special snowflake.
+Maialeen Chock full of bands who sound like this? I doubt it. It may not be "new and original" in your estimation, but it certainly outdoes a lot of the stuff being put out these days. And I AM one who knows how to look for new (and old) music and does bother to do so I am quite comfortable telling you that you are the one who needs to stop being a special snowflake. As for someone not liking the pop pablum--why shouldn't he "shit on it?" and express his honest opinion?
Why all the hostility on your part anyway?
Lol seems strange that a band from Sweden sounds more country than the crap on "country" radio.
Greg Szeman I love these girls, I am from Sweden but here is the music also pretty bad, I mean the popular ones. You can try to listen to The Lumineers. Their music i wonderful, my favorite from them are "Stubborn love" and "Sleep on the floor". And both musicvideos is heartbreaking but so beautiful at the same time, try to listen :) (Sorry my bad english)
You can show your support of a band without tearing down other musicians.
Me too Ruthie!
I always thought you'd be here but things get f* up and people just dissapear... Time has told me it's not that bad and if it is... I am a master pretender!
Melody, You are the best.
"I'd always thought that you'd be here, but shit gets fucked up and people just disappear"
so true
love it :)
These Siblings don't sugarcoat reality. Sometimes, these two words describes life like no other two words fully can. As you, me, them and most everyone have experienced in life, people come and go. Sometimes for us, it can be very painful to loose different one's that have crossed our paths in life. For some other people, for whatever reason, it's a welcoming event to lose that someone 'not so special'.
I wholeheartedly want to believe in the afterlife so much that hopefully, somehow, those 'special' people I have known once, I will know again.
A never ending beginning.
(Dreaming out loud)
@*****
I can't explain it anymore simpler. Sorry.
Love song. Love video.
This is so beautiful and powerful I'm literally crying
Great song best heard
Great song by great gals!
Love this!
love it !
Love those hammered dulcimer sounds in this song!
Both lyrics and video describe me
Radio 2 Brought me here 😊
