The Knife - We Share Our Mother's Health (crazy animation)

Farhad2000 says...

The Knife is an electronic indie duo from Sweden formed in 1999. The band consists of brother and sister Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer.

One of the group's distinguishing characteristics is their unwillingness to cooperate with the media or the mainstream music scene. The group rarely makes public appearances, most of their promotional photos feature the members wearing masks, and until recently, they outright refused to perform live concerts.

The group gained greater notoriety in late 2005 when José González covered "Heartbeats" on his 2003 album, Veneer. The song was then used for Sony's Color Like No Other BRAVIA commercial and was released as a single in early 2006.

The Knife's song "We Share Our Mother's Health" from their album, Silent Shout, was featured by the iTunes store as a free song of the week in late 2006. Another video is avaliable on the sift for "Like a pen".

The Knife - Heartbeats

Farhad2000 says...

This is the original version of the Heartbeats song written by The Knife, that's been covered by Jose Gonzalez and used in the Bravia advertisements. I felt revealed to find out that it was Knife who did it originally, because Jose's other songs really were quite terrible and I wondered how he could have come up with Heartbeats. I wonder how Knife feels about their song being used for such a huge advertising campaign given that they are so anti-music industry and all... Also I believe this song has the best lines ever...

To call for hands of above, to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, no


My sentiments exactly. Anyway I think this was posted recently, but it died or something, anyway am gonna give it a go because I love the video.
