Well you drove off in the summer rain
I waved to you like a sleeping dream
Told me to stay callous if someone bothered me
"The Eiffel Tower, the marching band
But I'm sure you wouldn't understand"
I just hope you don't stay gone

Don't leave this world to me

I saw your mother at the department store
She looked innocent like a still-born
But all I could think about was the sting
Since you've gone nothing's been the same
The wind don't sing and the sky's so dim
I've seen her staring up to it saying

Don't leave this world to me

First Aid Kit

First Aid Kit are two Swedish sisters called Klara and Johanna Söderberg who have folk influences from Fleet Foxes, Simon & Garfunkel and Conor Oberst. Neither is a professionally trained musician, both having been taught their first chords, as spoken of in an interview with Vogue, by their guitarist father. Their mother works in film, and they have agreed that this has had a profound impact on the content and production of their music videos.

They became well-known after posting a video of a cover of Fleet Foxes' “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song” in 2008. They released their first full-length LP in 2010, titled The Big Black and Blue. They followed up with the highly-acclaimed The Lion’s Roar in 2012, and Stay Gold in 2014. Their newest album, Ruins, was released in January 2018.
