Name: Postcard # 3 by Jens Lekman
Duration: 3 min 31 s
Description: 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.

I can't thank you enough Jens, every now and then I reflect on meeting you. Thank you for your generosity. Sending you much love. Alisdair.

Yet another song that will not download.  So frustrating, especially when it's as good as this.

Man! You did it again!  Why is the night so dark and eternal?!?!?!?

(English summary at the end)

När jag började spela musik hade jag en dröm som såg ut ungefär så här: jag åker på en landsväg, kanske på en moped, solen håller på att gå ner och på ryggen har jag min gitarr. Jag stannar till på en liten ort där kvällens spelning är i någons vardagsrum eller på den lokala bibblan. Så spelar jag några låtar, pratar med publiken, säljer lite skivor och drar vidare. 
Sen fick jag förklarat för mig hur en turné egentligen funkar. Och inget fel med de vanliga turnéerna, det är ju jättekul att spela på festivaler och klubbar i storstäderna och så. Men det känns så tråkigt varje gång man åker längs E4:an och ser namnen på städer och orter som inte är Stockholm eller Göteborg och tänker på de mail man får därifrån. “Varför kan du inte komma och spela i min lilla stad också?”. 

Så jag tänkte att det är dags styra upp en turné utanför storstäderna. Och jag tror att det enklaste sättet är att vi gör oss av med mellanhänderna. Vi behöver inget spelställe - ditt vardagsrum kan vara min scen. Vi behöver ingen arrangör - du kan vara arrangör. 

Låter det intressant? Så här går det till:

Tid: 8-24 maj
Plats: På din hemort
Lokal: I ditt vardagsrum, i din trädgård, på den lokala bibblan, eller en helt annan lokal. Egna spännande idéer är välkomna! Men tänk på att grannarna också ska tycka att det är en bra idé. 
Du som värd står för: Lokal och om ni har möjlighet även boende och mat. 
Jag står för: Musik, backline och PA. 

Om du vill arrangera en av konserterna på turnén, maila senast den 8 februari till dinstad@jenslekman.com och berätta om din idé. 

Kram
Jens

IN ENGLISH: I’m doing a livingroom tour, this time only in Sweden but hopefully I can do something similar in other parts of the world another time!
