But he’s also a wedding singer for a reason. Ever since his 2004 song “If You Ever Need a Stranger (To Sing at Your Wedding)” he has had a side gig fielding requests from strangers to sing at their weddings. For over twenty years, he’s had a particular vantage point from which to see the role love songs can play in our lives. In 2020, he and novelist David Levithan co-conceived a novel-with-music, Songs from Other People’s Weddings. Originally this album was meant to contain the songs from the weddings in the book, but as the novel came together, Lekman began to imagine what happened between the book’s chapters. The book and the album eventually became intertwined but also found their own paths. The book remained the structure of the story, but the album sometimes snuck behind the scenes. Stories from the songs made their way into the book and vice versa. The result is an exploration of what we sing about when we sing about love -- euphoria, doubt, dislocation, tenderness, conflict, playfulness, gratitude, ingratitude, longing, belonging, questioning, answering. It’s very much about a relationship and how it’s reflected through the relationships and weddings of others, but most of all it’s a lovesong to lovesongs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTracks\u003cbr\u003e1 The First Lovesong\u003cbr\u003e2 A Tuxedo Sewn for Two\u003cbr\u003e3 Candy from a Stranger\u003cbr\u003e4 Two Little Pigs\u003cbr\u003e5 Speak to Me in Music\u003cbr\u003e6 With You I Can Hear My Own Voice\u003cbr\u003e7 I Want to Want You Again\u003cbr\u003e8 Got-Jfk\u003cbr\u003e9 Wedding in Brooklyn\u003cbr\u003e10 For Skye\u003cbr\u003e11 Increasingly Obsolete\u003cbr\u003e12 On a Pier, on the Hudson\u003cbr\u003e13 Wedding in Leipzig\u003cbr\u003e14 Lej-Got\u003cbr\u003e15 You Have One New Message\u003cbr\u003e16 Just for One Moment\u003cbr\u003e17 The Last Lovesong\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secretly Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59547271168081,"sku":"656605039138","price":10.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1034\/5778\/3889\/files\/SC391.jpg?v=1779331029","url":"https:\/\/c09u90-kd.myshopify.com\/products\/jens-lekman-songs-for-other-peoples-weddings-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
