I came across Jens Lekman when my friend and I was at a frankly boring dinner party out on the town, where we were sent outside because we were being disruptive. We were 12, wondered further than we were allowed, and found a record shop and this was playing. Next week I went back with the money I had saved up and bought the album this track was on. Life was really hard but this was one of tge songs that got me through it

The first time I heard this song I stopped what I was doing and just started dancing. Swedish public radio, must havr been 2002-3. I freaking live this somg. ❤

So glad I found this. I was going crazy thinking, "Wasn't there a Jens Lekman song that sampled The Left Banke? Why can't I find it on Spotify?"

I thought I had wildly misremembered the song when I heard the re-recorded version. This version is always going to be more meaningful to me.

My cousin Matt sent me this song in an email that I never remembered to open and read. We used to give each other recommendations but I started to slip on listening to the ones he sent me. He died suddenly last week and I'm hearing this for the first time and I'm not sure what it means, but I feel strange, disturbed, and okay all at the same time. Matthew Growhowski 1969 - 2022 RIP.

The first time I heard this was on an iPod in 2005 at an aimless time in my life. I was waiting for a train in an underground L.A. Metro station, unemployed, and trying to gain some footing in the city. So I *FELT* this song. I became a fan of Jens from that point forward.

Aside from being excellent musically, this song is true to experience. I remember occasions when I was rolling home late in a cab drunk from parties where I had behaved badly, usually because I was in love with a woman there who wasn't in love with me. This song raises all the memories and emotions from those times.

Yes, everything old got taken down because of copyright claims. So Jens remade everything old. He put them back again on Spotify last week, May 2022. He sings them a little differently now - on purpose. Purpose is, the old versions live on through piracy and the new versions should be compared to the olds if you got the time. A sort of message in time. A conversion about the lives of the songs - and us

It has to do with copyright i think. Jens samples an old 60s song by Left Banke who sued him for that, so I don't think it's legally available anywhere anymore. Except for on old CDs and vinyls then.

jens lekman lyric a day "jens lekman - black cab 29/11/2018 "And I've heard all those stories About the black cabs and the way they drive That if you take a ride with them You might not come back alive They might be psycho killers But tonight I really don't care So I say turn up the music Take me home or take me anywhere" this always reminded me of the grand anthem by the smiths - "there is a light that never goes out" i bet jens loves smiths and moz's solo work !
