So That Was 2007 Part III
Jens Lekman - Your Arms Around Me (MP3)
Swedish big girl’s blouse Jens Lekman’s ‘Night Falls Over Kortedala’ wouldn’t have been in my end of year chart had we gotten around to putting together the fabled Best Foot Forward 2007 Round-Up last November or whenever it was going to be. Why? Because I only got a copy of it a couple of weeks ago, that’s why. Sure, I listened to the little snippets on Piccadilly’s and Boomkat’s mail-outs when it was released and, interest suitably piqued, I duly stuck it on my “to get” list but just never got around to it. Im sure you know how it is.
But for now it is that this lovely album of beautifully produced big camp indie pop songs has barely left my CD player and ‘Arms Around You’ is not only my favourite song on the album, it’s my favourite song about being taken to hospital by your girlfriend after she made you jump causing you to cut the end of your finger off whilst you were making a salad and, with “I was slicing up an avocado”, it’s given me my new favourite opening line to a song.
