Fever Ray 'Keep The Streets Empty For Me'

The official video for 'Keep The Streets Empty For Me', taken from Fever Ray's debut album 'Fever Ray' directed by Jens Klevje and Fabian Svensson.

More videos from Fever Ray here:

"Fever Ray and the song Keep the Streets Empty struck us immediately with its fateful sound and images of abandoned suburbia begun to grow in front of our eyes. We wanted to continue the journey that started in the former videos and our ambition was to catch the feeling in a very direct and true way and create a video where dream and reality intertwine." - Fabian and Jens

Thank you so much Red Riding Hood for introduce me this masterpiece. Since 2011 listening to

[lovisfeddersen]

This is one of the songs you will hear once and never forget!

[bobkro]

I’m 72years old and still find it one of my favorite songs ever. It is gorgeous and a pleasure to listen late at night with the lights off.

Discovered this legendary track in the Show 'Dark'. What a masterpiece.

I was walking home in Edinburgh to that song one night, after a late library session in the middle of the winter. Snow was falling and the streets were eerily empty so it just fit perfectly. Just as I was about to arrive I met a fox under these old pedestrian lights, its footprints imprinted in the snow, watching me. I remember staying there a while, thinking how peaceful this was. Perfect song, perfect moment.

This song brought me to tears. I know there are so many people in this world that are living in pain. I know that I’m not the only one that feels the same. I just want to say if you are reading this be strong and love yourself. When we do that that’s the greatest treasure. Namaste my fellow humans

Bones brought me here and now I have found a wonderful new artist

Now as a grown man, I'm finally becoming able to go back, way back through the time, to the place, and find, hug, comfort and talk to the child I once was, and who is sitting there alone, frightened, hurt and misunderstood. That kid I used to be and - that I still am. To tell him that it's not his fault and that everything'll be ok.

One of the things I love about the internet, social media, streaming etc, is there's SO MUCH access to great music out there other than the utter shit they try to shove down our throats on the radio and in the mainstream. I haven't listened to the radio in probably 10 years.

Memory comes when memory's old
I am never the first to know
Following the stream up North
Where do people like us float
There is room in my lap
For bruises, asses, handclaps
I will never disappear
For forever, I'll be here
Whispering
Morning, keep the streets empty for me
Morning, keep the streets empty for me
I'm laying down, eating snow
My fur is hot, my tongue is cold
On a bed of spider web
I think of how to change myself
A lot of hope in a one man tent
There's no room for innocence
So take me home before the storm
Velvet mites will keep us warm
Whispering
Morning, keep the streets empty for me
Morning, keep the streets empty for me
Whispering
Morning, keep the streets empty for me
Morning, keep the streets empty for me
Uncover our heads and reveal our souls
We were hungry before we were born
Uncover our heads and reveal our souls
We were hungry before we were born
Uncover our heads and reveal our souls
We were hungry before we were born
Uncover our heads and reveal our souls
We were hungry before we were born

Tiocfaidh ár lá 😘❤️💞

It’s been over a decade and this song still brings back all the memories of me praying that the streets would be empty while I would look for somewhere to sleep.

What’s weird is my mum sent me this song before she passed away in December and I never realised how deep this was until she was gone, it makes a lot of sense to me now
Here’s to you mum 🍻

This song is combining peace and war, light and darkness, happiness and sadness its all in one.

[rizwanhakim]

I was watching DARK on Netflix that this track entrapped my imagination and jelled so beautifully into a particular sequence of the movie. The voice and the music is soulful and mesmerizing from start till end. It is an old tract but beautiful melodies are timeless and never time barred. I wonder how many such beautiful songs are left unheard by many like me.

[darker]

Dark but never pessimistic. The healing power of night, when you can take comfort in your self and become fully charged for the merciless rays of daylight.

[Hourvary]

I can't believe I haven't found this masterpiece earlier, It's mindblowing

[lupebravo]

We need to tend to the wounded. The human soul is at odds with itself, conflicted and suffering. We ignore the tired, drug-addicted, homeless suffering on the streets, hoping it will simply go away. That problem will not heal itself; it requires action, in inspiration from our artists who have become god-like in their castles and disconnected from their people. Say nothing of our leaders, because they are even worse. What do we do? I start with myself, trying to heal the city I call home--Seattle. I start in 3 days working downtown on the streets and alleyways where I once hurt and played. I do it for love of humanity, to preserve whatever precious good still remains. Great Song.

Thanks to watching Good Girls Guide To Murder on tv last night, i heard this for the first time.
How hauntingly beautiful this is. Listened to it all day, brilliant.

[Chad-jxjm]

its the end of 2023, I know this song since it came out. I read the comments of you guys and cry like a baby, don't know why, but I let it happened.... it touched me so deep inside of me. I send love out in the world. ❤❤❤❤

This is a poetic masterpiece. A song about isolation, very true today. And Karin's exceptionally nuanced voice together with the unique sound of twilight make this a perfect companion on a sleepless night ! Sure seems to feel like you are waking up surrounded by icy crystals on a winter's morning.
