First Aid Kit Cover of Townes Van Zandt “Waiting Around to Die”

“Waiting Around to Die” is a great song off Townes Van Zandt. One of Van Zandt's more famous songs, "Waiting 'Round to Die" chronicles the life of a fictional drifter as he passes sadly through the experiences of an abusive father, the abandonment of his mother, drug and alcohol abuse, fast women, and even prison. Here the Swedish duo First Aid Kit offer a lovely version of the song.
