Jens Lekman - The Opposite of Hallelujah

[zombiethirteen]

This song is great, but if you change the speed to 2x, it sounds like a bad ass ska song!

Trust me.

[egtheerapat]

ฮาเลลูย๊า

[snableme]

Thanks Jens. Now I said it, finally. Your one of my newest hero's. Youre the only one who is in a girlband. You are living one of my old dreams. Please take extra care from now. didnt know until now about the Girlband. Its gonna make me feel wonderful for the whole day. C ya Pel

[kelbel1724]

Damn, this guy is so money. Love the horn section.

[andovernz]

Haha how cute is his band.

[SpaceOddity87]

Love hearing this with the horn arrangement.

[mameloche]

its nice but , the album itself night falls over kortedala deserve a much better play with full proffesional orchestra more than this ... should it be much bigger and magical .... this is a bit amateur and the sound is not too polished and worker on , both on music and vocals ..... :-)

[ohiorach]

thanks for this!

[ronoman88]

This song reminds of "Give me Just a little more Time"

[ImCheez]

amazingly good music, but i can't help but laugh at the lyrics. "I picked up a seashell to illustrate my homelessness"?

[serialkixz]

thats one of my favorite lines. he using an illiteration and it dissolves because the crab crawled out of the shell lol so the "empty shell" wasnt so empty. Brilliant!

[Doplex]

Fantastic song. I think everyone had a good dance to this at ATP :-)

[BaronVerulam1618]

Wow the Arsenal goalkeeper is really talented

[seanyboyrebel]

aye, he's a safe pair of hands, jens lekman

[littlecandlelight]

Kristin on the trumpet! Great to see you :-)

[Tinkidink]

thanks for posting! man i wish i could have been there! i hope he comes back soon!

[azeneth1]

i love jens!

[vegers]

jens is such a cutie.

[KaceKlosed]

Lucky dude - got some very fine women around him in the band (I'm getting that fuzzy feeling again...) Dig the chaotic ending too

[heyjupiter]

oh i loved his music so.. until i saw this performance here. it used to be my favorite song actually.

but to be honest this live perfomance sounds horrible.. i don't know maybe it is because of the record is not that good.

i might have loved it if i was there.

who knows

[pop912368dxh]

i saw him live a few weeks ago in omaha and he used a violin and cello instead of the horns and it was amazing! i actually thought it sounded even better than the album version. the camera probably distorts the actual sound also :]

[Lucasworthmaster]

JENS MY FRIEND, you had me at your arms around me!!! your'e awesome

[jaxosho]

Go for it while you can Jens. Perfect for the Brit market and pippiland.

This one is quite good Comp. though

Bowie-ish

[krylonultraflat]

What's funny is I saw him live in Tallahassee, expecting a full band but leaving feeling it would have been ruined had it not been just Jens, his guitar, and his creativity with the pedals.

Man what a good show.

[CZMJ]

Possibly my fav Jens Lekman track. The second verse makes me laugh every time.

I picked up a seashell

To illustrate my homelessness

But a crab crawled out of it

Making it useless

haha

[Terdwizard]

FUNNY LYRICS!!!

HE THINKS THE OCEAN MAKES HIM FEEL STUPID!!!

HE PICKS UP A SEASHELL TO ILLUSTRTE HIS HOMELESSNESS!!!

ahhh! HYSTERICAL!

[losertalk]

dint give thumbs down to this comment. it's true, jens is funny

[webfryes]

Its funny stupid people why would you thumbs down that comment??

[Terdwizard]

This has the funniest lyrics ever

"The ocean made me feel stupid"

"I picked up a seashell to illustrate my homelessness, there was a crab in it so it was useless"

LOL

I love this guy!

[midtownjohn]

Nice song.

I am going to his Atlanta show but it says he is playing solo.

I dont know how this cd will sound live without a full band.

[suburbjorn]

love this songg

[hollycejones]

Saw Jens and his band at Bimbos the other night and WOW WOW WOW! They were AMAZING live... better than anything I had found on YouTube. And the crowd was absolutely fabulous. They danced and danced and danced. One of the best shows I have EVER seen. Jens is so sweeet!

[ghostiesheet]

Those girls are out of tune rather badly. Still I'd let ANY swedish girl play my horn.

[wiyam]

lol

[hommageakerouac]

Awesome . . .

[AudioslaveReunion]
