Jens Lekman-Rocky Dennis' Farewell SongJens Lekman's voice is such the perfect dusty attic singer-songwriter type. Pouring out emotions, every word sounds like a genuine confession. The tapping of the bells and the strokes of keyboards, the magical, innocent, naive and beautiful quality of the guitars, and the personal story behind the song...everything conveys that flash of time, summer camp, rippling lakes, leaves scattering on top of the still surface to create echoes of space, and that childish, sweet and fragile love. Like a pastel water color painting, capturing the perfection and simple adoration for the blind girl in the star lit skies and padded dampen forests all around.
