This Swedish folk band are one of my favourite artists at the moment.
They were nominated for Best International Group at the Brits
and last year they stormed the stage at Glastonbury.
Here performing It's a Shame, it is First Aid Kicks!
I'm [E] thinking about the past
How there is no holding back
No [B] mourning, wasting sorrow
[A] On things that won't be [E] here tomorrow
But you and I [A] [E] don't need to speak
It's a secret that we [A] keep
Out of [B] view and out of sight
[A] Just say when and we'll [E] say good
[A]
[E] [C#] [A] To live life [E] [C#] [A] [E]
but [B] you stay
[A] It's a [E]
shame, [A] [E]
shame, [A] shame
[E]
[B]
[E]
Spend so much of my time
Going out of my mind
It's so hard to [B] be of [A] use
For what you cannot [E] gain use
In LA, [A] the sun's [E] almost too bright
[A] I cannot [E] get it right
[A] The [E] emptiness I [B] feel
[A] And now none of it seems real
[F#] [A] To me [E] it's alright
[C#] [A] But you [E] spend the night
[C#] [A] Sometimes [E] I just can't bear [B] to walk away
I [A] know it's a [E]
shame, [A] [E]
shame, [A] [E]
[B] shame
[A] It's [E]
[B] okay [A] if I ask you to [B] stay
[A] Sometimes [E]
the night cuts through me [B] like a knife
I [A] know it's a shame, [E]
I know [A] it's a [E]
shame
I know [A] it's a [E]
shame
[B] Shame,
[A] [E]

Very, very good, thank you so much, that sounded fantastic
Drink your champagne, do, you've earned it
Yes, it's a shame is off the new album Ruins
And that's out next Friday, so the 19th
Yes, and so what's the story, so you, have you moved to LA?
No, no, no
But you made this record in LA?
No, no
Have you ever been to LA?
We're back on track, we're back on track
We wrote the record in LA
I see, I knew there was some connection, I'm not just making it up
But now, is it true you're not a fan of LA?
No, we just, we do, but
Well, the thing was, we had this trip planned, we were going to go, right
And it was very exciting, and then my relationship ended just before going there
So, so I was not in a great state when we came there
Yeah, and so I feel bad now that I brought it up
Oh, no, it's okay
You're all good, yeah, you got a record out of it, okay
It's way more important than a relationship Yes
Are you greeted at the airport with that question, you know?
Did you just break up with somebody?
Welcome to Los Angeles
And I would mention your tour, but there's no need, it's sold out already Wow Yeah Congratulations, congratulations
And are you going to add extra gigs or anything?
Well, we'll be back in the summer, festivals
Oh, okay, you do the festivals and all those sorts of things
Excellent, excellent
I love the music and good luck with the tour
And thank you so
