First Aid Kit

"Blue" (video)

First Aid Kit's Johanna and Klara Söderberg are just 21 and 19 years old, respectively, but that isn't stopping the Swedish sister from discussing the ravages of age in their new folky The Lion's Roar single "Blue."

While both musicians pop in and out of the clip, veteran Swedish actress Ewa Fröling takes centre stage as an aging recluse. The icy actress still looks stunning as she puts herself together for an outing, but the scene suggests her opulent mansion, filled with dust-cover-laden furniture, has seen better days. "You're just a shell of your former youth," the Söderberg sisters crushingly coo while in the lady's dressing room.

A trip to a village bonfire finds some impertinent tots tossing fireworks at the lady, causing her to flee the scene, but a friendly neighbour extends an olive branch by returning some sunglasses Fröling left behind.

You can find out whether or not the friendship blossoms down below.
