Lyrics:
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
Cause she said that it was just make believe
But I thought she said maple leaves
So we talked for hours
And you cried into my sheets
And 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’ll lose my mind completely
Madness could finally defeat me
She said it was all make believe
But i thought she 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 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 played the Swedish version of this at my wedding in 2011 off of my old iPod. Saved a lot of money on a DJ. My wife married me mainly for my frugality

[@i0sinh]

Jens performs at weddings (he really does). It would have been worth it to spend money on that, no?

[@thegipps]

@i0sinh iPod was already paid off. We paid the wedding off that night too. Had to keep that guest list down so Jens M Lekman didnt make the cut. No debts, no regrets. But there were several other Jens songs that made the playlist and a nice Neil Sedaka song too 🎉

[@ΜΑΡΚΑΤΗΣΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΙΟΣ]

20 years i listen to this song Jens
❤️ Thank you 🙏

[@carolannamen2645]

This song feels like a warm shelter for the homeless kitty in my heart.

[@General_Puffball]

That reveal at the end is really something. Here's to another 20 years of music, Jens.

[@DanMachold]

I didn't think we needed a new version of such a perfect song. Then I listened and yes, perhaps we needed it.

[@tecam9453]

Bro I was listening to the 7” version of this song yesterday. I had a weird feeling I needed to hear it after many years. Little did I know you would drop a remix the very next day. Strange and wonderful couple of days.

[@yourmusicsavedus7381]

The 7" version is one of my favorite pieces of music of all time

[@tecam9453]

@@yourmusicsavedus7381 mine too!

[@davidhendrickson591]

Synchronicity!

[@scouse_roar]

Thank you for doing this Jens. One of my favourite songs of all time. Beautiful reimagining

[@twally87]

didn't know any of all this was coming and I'm simply blown away

[@mhbackman]

Jens! I can't believe you are re-doing my two favourite albums of mine! And literally days after I recorded and sent a cover of 'Your Arms Around Me' to a girl I am dating, in which she shared her love for your music. Then we both looked for Night Falls Over Kortedala on Spotify but couldn't find it-but this explains it all.
I can't wait for the two albums to be the soundtrack of our time together. Thank you! You have always been there for my in different chapters in my life, different romances, healing time alone in solitude, returning out into the world and opening to others again. And now rebirth.

[@unbornturnip327]

I hope you found the one!

[@silversaint]

Thanks so much, Jens! Sweeter than kindness...

[@bestbeatstoreacid]

THIS TRACK IS ON MY REPEAT! 💯💥

[@jackjack8304]

[@jocelynegotteland1061]

Bravo! Magnifique!

[@gorecki4612]

[@jesuscoronel6182]

Hints of Morrissey in his style, but original all it's own.
