Number 13: Jens Lekman - A Postcard to Nina
Album: Night Falls Over Kortedala, 2007.
Added 11/8/07, 68 plays.
Jens tells the story of how he was an accidental beard. It's a pretty hilarious story, over a simple (at first) rhythm. At the end when it crescendos, and we get to the moral of the story, that just kills me every time. This is the song that really got me into Jens.
Also, check out my recording from when I saw him at the Paradise a couple years back, with a far more detailed version of the story:
