First Aid Kit

This lovely duo from Sweden has been showing up a lot on KXCI lately.  Conveniently I bought their album a few weeks ago, so it's been awesome hearing songs I know on the radio! 

If you live in Tucson, 91.3 is the way to go...on occasion there are some shows that aren't your style (like for me, zydeco on Sunday nights are not my thing), but there are some shows that will always be a treat!  Such as Celtic music at 8 am on Saturday morning.  Yes, sadly I am up at that time. 

First Aid Kit has been touring lots, with people often remarking they sound like they just came out of Nashville.  A song like the one below shows you why.  The name of it is "Emmylou", referring to Emmylou Harris. The chorus goes as follows:
I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June
And 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 must say it definitely hits on some longings for me personally, to have music and singing be a part of daily life with someone (if you didn't know Gram and Johnny are the beloved of the women mentioned).  For now, I'm just enjoying this song, and as I tell God what I want, go ahead...talk to him about what you want too! :)
