Åh det där känner jag igen att en inte ens vågar skriva ner saker för dom antingen känns för nära eller skrämmande. Den här texten är den ärligaste du gjort. älskar beatet och handklappet. men mest känsla den lämnar i mig. oj oj oj oj!

You are making me so incredibly happy. I had no idea you were doing these weekly songs until now. Ugh.

You are using the internet the way any artist should

its all you had so fucking ridiculous you have let another go need not be so dismissive

This was one of my favorite postcards! Pumped it'll be on the new album

Happy new year!

Here’s my new years resolution for 2015: While working on my next album, I will sit down once a week, write down my thoughts, turn them into a song and share it with you directly. Think of these songs as little postcards. Little greetings from me to you. 

You see, I spend a lot of time on my songs, on their details. I sweep the streets that my characters walk on and polish every doorknob until I feel confident to let other people in. But it does lead to a very isolated creative phase. 

And I’ve been longing to share my thoughts and life with you a bit more. I’ve been longing to write about things that make sense one particular day but that might make no sense once the album comes out. 

Then at the end of this year we can sit down you and me and listen through these 52 songs, and remember where we were and when we were there, who we kissed and who we missed. I’m looking forward to that. 

Yours truly
Jens Lekman

Yesterday I played a wedding in beautiful Jukkasjärvi, in the very north of Sweden. The couple getting married were two australians, Erin and Alisdair. I’d never met them before but Alisdair wrote and asked if I wanted to sing for them and he seemed sweet so I said yes. And since I was going to sing for them and had to write a song this week I figured why not make the song for them.
