I was trying to actively get away from music, I guess. But I recorded a whole bunch of instrumental piano songs.
Jens LekmanI think the cynicism that you have when you've just gone through a break-up is a luxury that you allow yourself for a while.
Jens LekmanI kind of like polishing the songs that I'm working on. I'm really working hard on some specific songs.
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.
