2 years looking for this song(heard it in acar and recorded with my phone) and i got an aplication on Nokia Called Shazam that recognizes songs and IM so happy i found this song ;)
Jens is known to sample quite extensively. I don't get it; it's okay for hip-hop artists to do so, but when an adorable pop-star does it, he gets heckled.
@Jaegund He may have lifted it or not, but I agree with you Jaegund. As a musician especially if you are someone who has a musical mind songs get stuck in my head all the time, and if a song or beat came out that I had possibly heard somewhere and had subconsciously filed it away in my memory I would not be surprised.
i watched the movie ghost town which closed with john mayers "heart of life". i never listened to john mayer before really so it took me a week thinking, where the hell have i heard that tune before. turns out lekman lifted this sax tune from mayers song note for note.. if i were a betting man i was thinking that mayer had lifted it from somewhere, but the more you know! still really like this album
Oh Jens, take me away~

Jens Lekman doesn't need to 'lift' anyone's music. I'm sure it's a coincidence. With all the music in the world, similar tunes are bound to happen.

@Jaegund You're wrong, he did 'lift' it, well sampled it is the appropriate word...he does it all the time and gives a credit to the original.

This isn't the full song =(. Did your video-maker slice off the ending for some reason?
Oh well, FYI to any listeners, the full track is 4:16, according to Wikipedia. The moar you know *NBC bing bing bing*.
