Watch First Aid Kit Cover R.E.M.’s “Walk Unafraid” With Peter Buck
On the soundtrack of the new movie Wild the rootsy Swedish sister act First Aid Kit cover “Walk Unafraid,” a song from R.E.M.’s 1998 album Up. The duo taped the song’s video in the woods near Portland, Oregon. That’s where the former R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck lives now, and the duo made the classy move of inviting him out to the set. He accepted the invitation, and in what looks like a down moment, recorded a quick video of himself playing acoustic guitar while the two Söderberg sisters sing the song. Watch that clip below.
