I didn't have a home in the world, so I wanted a home in a person. I felt like I had found that, and then it was taken away from me.
Jens LekmanI was trying to actively get away from music, I guess. But I recorded a whole bunch of instrumental piano songs.
Jens LekmanWhen I performed the songs in front of an audience at the end of each project and I knew the storytellers were in the crowd listening, that was hard.
Jens LekmanI started playing bass in my friend's band for some reason. It was just something I did because, well, he asked me if I wanted to play bass and he played me this song - Nirvana's version of "Molly's Lips", the Vaselines song - and he said, "You can do this! This is not hard!" and it's like a two-note song. I learned that and then I thought I was a genius.
