Cover art for This Old Routine lyrics by First Aid Kit

The song is about someone who is living with a partner who suffers from Alzheimers I think. It really reminds be of the book 'before I go to sleep', with the son out fighting the war part and the reference to searching through the drawers. Beautiful song!

Song Meaning

In an live concert she mentions that the song is simply about a couple that has been married a long time that fall into the old routines and forget about why they fell in love and got married in the first place. It is an incredible song
