This song is a dreamy acoustic cover of electro-pop duo The Knife's song "Heartbeats." Jose Gonzalez (born in Sweden, of Argentinian descent and inspired by British and Brazilian folk-pop) knows how to make a song his own. He stripped "Heartbeats" down to just a finger picked guitar tune and added his gentle vocals making it incomparable to the original. The tenderness in his voice expresses what sounds like very personal lyrics, even though he didn't write them himself. The warmth he naturally exudes makes this a bittersweet melody that sounds like it would be background music for a goodbye scene in a movie.
