The Knife - Heartbeats - Live
See also: José González version
Winter is officially here... and that means it's the season in which the music of The Knife is best enjoyed. José González is a Swedish singer-songwriter who made a name for himself covering the original "Heartbeats" by The Knife. Whether consciously or not, the band's live rendition takes the song in a similar direction. The album cut, from Deep Cuts, carries the dark introspection of the lyrics upon an electro-pop cloud to the heavens.
González's cover version reached #9 on the UK chart, while the only chart the Knife's version cracked was the Swedish chart - peaking at #54.
