Jens Lekman - Your Arms Around Me

Thank you thank you thank you Drew Barrymore for using this song so aptly in the pool scene of Whip It. It was such a perfect song to use at that moment and I have absolutely fallen in love with it and with Lekman.
Jens (pronounced Yens) is of course Swedish. Apparently the staff here at DC has a fetish for the Swedes - what can we say. I’m so addicted to the quality of his instrument right about now that I might have to go out and buy all of his cds. Next time I get paid that is! Damn my poor cash flow.
But yes - I love everything about this song. Its romantic and deep and dark and so insanely beautiful that it hurts. If my life had a soundtrack this song would be the theme. At least I’d hope that events played out so that this song could be the theme : )
Anywhoo - I guess I’ll just have to settle on listening to this track on repeat for the next 2 weeks. I’m sure you’ll be forced to do the same (unless you find yourself in a higher tax bracket then myself!)!!! ENJOY!!!
