Heartbeats

A cover of The Knife's 2002 song, track four of Veneer, issued as a single in January 2006.
José González, from Veneer (2003)

The Knife's original, written by Karin and Olof Dreijer, was the lead single from Deep Cuts, released on December 27, 2002 in Sweden and again on October 4, 2004 on Rabid and V2. González's version, track four of Veneer at 2:40, is classical guitar and voice only, and he produced it. Ed Power in Hot Press (2006) wrote that reworking it took him only a few hours, and González said he loves the original, thinks it is a very moving song, and wanted to preserve the spirit of the music. The single came out in the UK on January 9, 2006 on Peacefrog and Imperial as a 7-inch, CD and DVD. We could not tell which version our upload is.
