Jens Lekman - A little lost

[hellohelloveromica]

The bluish yellow person I've ever seen

[joshd108]

it took me months to find this again. I cant believe i never favorited this.

[andina18]

very Swedish :)

[danslog]

terrible version of one of my favorite songs

[upesupernova]

i's amazing what a kalimba and a beautiful voice can make...

[darkshire125]

i love your sarcasm guys ^^

[starjen42]

Beautiful. Sweet. Your voice breaks my heart and makes me smile.

[danslog]

really really really dont like this version

[Eneliiiiin]

he is better than michael jackson, lady gaga and other dumb fuck shitheads!

sweden guy is able to own them all!

[bokonon14]

i never heard of arthur russell until I saw this video and looked for the original. wish i hadn't bothered, because the original is terrible. i will never understand why people will artificially ruin their singing just so that they can sound 'unique'. thanks, jens, for rescuing a decent song. love your voice, and glad that you can just let it be what it is.

[legrandp]

@bokonon14 man what the fuck are you talking about??

[postpunk96]

@bokonon14 fguck u mate

[lollysugarkane1]

fucking awful i'm offended

[lollysugarkane1]

fucking awful i'm offended

[brainsgettintoohot]

his music is like chicken soup for the love sick heart,

bravo you beautiful creature.

[Midnight0miss]

this song is like a serenade and I'm carried to heaven on his voice.....gorgeous....

[Yulietab]

suena desafinado pero eso lo hace más propicio para imaginar que me lo canta mi chico

[aniimamiina]

nice try, Jens Lekman

[sonorpaiste702]

Very unique and creative take on an extremely unique and creative song. Nothing will come close to touching the original, and it's nice to see Lekman do it in an entirely different style, yet retain the beauty of the original.

Like many others, I didn't know of Arthur Russell until I heard this cover, I decided to look for his material and instantly fell in love with World of Echo, he's the greatest unsung genius of the past 50 years.

[musososeki]

could this be better? so soft and gentle

[yoyoyajeloot]

the more i listen to this the more i think its total shit...

give me time i'm gonna cover this i'll probably do it bad but at least it will show up just how crap this is !!!!!

[LIBIOS]

agreed my friend...i'll probably get more thumbs down than you but u r right!!!it is shit...just expresing my opinion

[vanylaskyye]

theres too much yellow here.

[TheFabStringbean]

I just saw a photo of a thumb piano, and now you are playing one. great song.

[alicehasaphallus]

best voice eva mang

[FarquadDrum]

Nothing could replace the beautiful original by Arthur Russell, but this is a great tribute to a great artist.

[ChannelLightVessel]

Luckily, the great Mr. Lekman isn't trying to replace the late great Mr. Russell. Just drawing some attention to an all-too-often ignored talent. Kalimbas are cool too, as are the rows of yellow seats in this video.

[nattoppet]

And your comment is cool too.

[lolobrigitta]

hahahaha so funny. awesome.

[jtsokolov]

he is amazing

[bissia]

As invincibledefeat mentionned the much older (and better imho) original is from Arthur Russell

[goat321hotmail]

what is the album called?

[ChannelLightVessel]

I was expecting a ukelele, but was pleasantly suprised to see and hear a thumb piano. My thumb piano doesn't have enough notes to do this. I don't have enough talent either!

[miserylad]

I think he's playing a kalimba...

[ChannelLightVessel]

Kalimba is just another name for thumb piano. Sometimes they're called mbiras as well. Lovely instruments.

[astorastilbe]

his voice reminds me of stephen merritt from the magnetic fields

[Kill80moz]

OMG! I just said that to my friend last week =D Glad someone agrees =]

[sunshineluvsbeirut]

wow, i was thinking the EXACT same thing!

the magnetic fields and jens are amzing!

[fums63]

Jens even did a cover of "Yeah, Oh Yeah!"

It's on iTunes

[PoizonusJK]

by the magnetic fields?

[elmastuerzo]

It's so sweet

Nice cover

GRACIAS

[mrtreve]

fanx

[amigapaloma]

it's simply beautiful♥

[DrRoxtagon]

i cant stop listening to this song!!

[charlottsen]

sweeeeeeet! I like!!!!

[seanarrative]

tight

[123pormi]

me encanta!

ya quiero verlo!

[SoulQuest7]

Isn't one of the pegs on his Kalimba tuned wrong? I saw him perform this a week ago and it sounded fine. What a great arrangement! I wish he would record a bunch of his songs with just kalimba and voice. I also have pics of his kalimba on my facebook account.

[SeBbAbEbBa]

</3

[indypie5]

what is he playing

[desiobu]

Looks like a kalimba.

[bprett]

beautiful beautiful!

"i'm so busy, so busy thinking about, kissing you"

i also love how he stops playing his instrument at the end and keeps singing it just makes the song that much more powerful-- he really knows how to evoke emotions in a simple yet beautiful manner

[liberatethecanaries]

his voice is so beautiful it makes my heart hurt.

[esperuse]

love that guy, so so so beautiful, face, voice and meloday

[lascivit]

RIP Arthur Russell

<3

[Evelinailja]

Jens come back from Australia!! I am a little lost without you...

[felster]

old soul..

[poundandcrown]

holy shit. i love him.

[Dnlzon]

what's the name of that instrument?

[Folloou]

that's a kalimba

[emmoow]

he is the best fucking singer/songwriter in this entire world.

[dboyd1089]

i don't know about that.. haha He's up there.. but i think Damien Rice and Glen Hansard have better lyrics..b ut all of those guys are amazing (3rd guy been jens)

[invincibledefeat]

This song was written by the late Arthur Russell.

[sofiaataraxica]

jajaja.

[Luizaintheskywithdia]

[Maskrosboll]

[DrSalmonella]

[lucasgreen]

It's so cool to see some Arthur Russell appreciation going on!

[HGrandOrchestra]
