God the strings and bells and lyrics and just overall vibe is immaculate

[@mangoesboy]

Jens lekman's songs sounds so vulnerable with intimate descriptions...wonderful storytelling through a simple yet mesmirising music. ❤️

Thanks for posting the words, even if it's been fun inventing my own meanings for the last 15 years or so.

How is this not on iTunes omg, the struggle!

[@GregMuniz7]

Or Spotify! It’s horseshit is what it is

[@ravioliravioli7951]

It's funny as the entire album is on Spotify except for this single song.

Jenz said it’s because of the sample used in the song. He told me himself on Instagram. Really cool of him to respond to me

[@dadmadedinner5456]

He re-recorded his older stuff and it’s out on Spotify now, but it’s different.

@@GregMuniz7 Wow that's really cool he took the time to do that, thanks for the update greg!

It's autumn in Gothenburg I'm walking home to my suburb Rain falls hard on the city On every homeless kitty Oh please god bring relief Even if it's only brief That she says the dreamer just make-believe But I thought she said maple leaves So we talked for hours And you cried into my sheets You said you hated your body That it was just a piece of meat, I disagreed I think you're beautiful But it's impossible To make you understand That if you don't take my hand I lose my mind completely Madness will finally defeat me She said it was all make-belief But I thought you said maple leaves And when she talked about the fall I thought she talked about the season I never understood at all I thought she said maple leaves And when she talked about about the fall I thought she talked about Mark E Smith I never understood at all I never understood at all I never understood at all

i had no idea there were this many samples in this song but it makes sense given he said it was influenced by the Avalanches
