First Aid Kit

"Nothing gold can stay." So says Robert Frost, at once encompassing everything from man's fall from innocence and the fleeting nature of beauty to lost love and ultimately death. It was that line that caught Klara S�derberg, who along with her sister Johanna makes up Swedish duo First Aid Kit, and stopped her in her tracks. "I started writing the first verse of the song 'Stay Gold' and I was kind of stuck," says Klara. "I had this collection of poetry and I thought, 'I'll open this and see if there's anything in here that inspires me.' And I came upon 'Nothing Gold Can Stay,' that was literally the first thing I saw, and it was perfect." So perfect that Klara plucked it for the chorus of the song, which grew to become the centerpiece, and title of, First Aid Kit's new album and Columbia Records debut, Stay Gold.
