Jens Lekman Song
During the pandemic my grandma died. She was 95 and one hell of a woman who inspired me every time I was around her. As we looked through her clothes and I created a small pile of outfits I was going to take, I realized I needed to dress up as her. For some reason that was a way for me to process her death and to also see how much I actually looked like her. I didn’t think anything else was going to come from that but then one of my favorite musicians Jens Lekman had a call for stories during the pandemic that he would pick and write a song about, and mine was one of them. Below is the video of our conversation and song (around 8:24).
Enjoy!
Jens Lekman performs new songs at The Nordic Watercolour Museum. The songs are based on a number of people's stories about the corona pandemic. During the live stream, Jens called the authors behind these stories. GUEST STUDIO SESSIONS Guest Studio Sessions was a temporary, digital program that took place in the spring of 2021 at The Nordic Watercolour Museum, where we invited artists to create live streamed experiences from one of the museum's guest studios. The main purpose with the program was to make room for cultural practitioners to perform in front of an audience, despite current restrictions. With free rein and one of the museum’s guest studios at their disposal, artists of different forms were invited to design their own meetings with the audience.
