Tied to a Star

Wide Awake

J Mascis - Wide Awake

i love you at
top of the tree
i lay down to have
two dreams

and one is dark
the other clean
how am i s’posed to know
what they mean

how can i tell u bout the power of 
forgiveness
when u have given me nothing to
nothing  to forgive

something rolls down
my skin like paint
hang me on the wall
just how u like

sometimes i’ll show 
u what u want
sometimes i’ll show
u nothing at all

how can i tell you bout the power of 
forgiveness
when u have given me nothing to
nothing  to forgive

Porches - Forgive featuring Greta Kline

Lyrics:
I couldn’t say
if I was awake

I watched my body taking up space

i saw a line
feet to my head
i watched it wave and i watched it bend

and i was moved
so physical
some kind of water you drift and sway

so i came to
soft prism glow
now all i want is that darkness

Porches - Prism

September 2, 2014

While travelling through midwest America some time ago I stopped at a gasstation and bought a WWJD bracelet for $1.99 and insisted that it stood for ‘What Would Jens Do?’. I would look at it when I felt indecisive, think about what Jens really would do and then do the opposite of that. I thought that would be a good way to find some new paths in life, and to get away from the paths I kept taking that didn’t lead me anywhere good.

WWJD is a song about regrets, learning from your mistakes, and bettering yourself. I wrote it last year, recorded it quickly and felt it didn’t fit in with most of the other songs I was writing. Together with ‘What’s That Perfume That You Wear?’ and ‘I Remember’ they weren’t adhering to the rules I had set up for my next album but they were also too good to forget. So I weaved them in exclusively on this mixtape where they are stations on a longer journey, where loops and smaller fragments, ideas for songs and favourite songs by others swoosh by outside the window. Feel free to open that window and feel the breeze in your hair.

Yours truly
Jens Lekman
