Pretty sure the reason he had to rerecord this entire one was due to sample clearance issues. Which is a shame - it was my favorite one on the album, the new one doesn’t hold up at all
WOW! i knew this was too good to be an original composition. but i couldn't hear the horns in jorge bens version. instead i think jens took it from wilson simonal's version of zazueira: watch?v=_HkbQbYWuZg

Swedish has something called the V2 word order, which means that the finite verb generally comes in second position in an independent clause (after the subject or adverbial or something like that). So we say "Jag är kär i dig" but "Kanske är jag kär i dig" because the verb "är" must keep its second position. Google "v2 word order" for more information. :)
Wish Jens left this version on spotify

This is THE correct version, yes.
Love the chopped up horns at the end.
Siiick doo wop sample. And the last minute of the song, when the beat glitches and stutters out, just jaw-dropping stuff.
Good to have this preserved! They took the old version down
i love this song. i also love my friend Maria for sharing Jens' music with me...
this one makes me feel like I´m on another level, a higher and better level specially with those trumpets at the end that last very very little.
I miss this version 😢 the new mixes just don't hit as hard
For real was just revisiting this album and was upset to hear this had been replaced
Jens is gorgeous! And his lyrics beautiful
Jens is a Master Artist.
j dilla, the avalanches & jens lekman are masters of sampling
This makes my heart warm.
i love this song
+Clem Wen O LVEPOJTHIED HDONH

I love this, lyrics are amazing and so true! ;)
Kanske är jag kär i dig = I think I'm in love with you
What were they thinking? The old version is so much better
the erasification of Night Falls Over Kortedala is real
is there somewhere u can buy the acoustic version of this song?
FOREVER
Been listening since day one ❤
ngl I used to have this on all my Summer playlists... the new version's DOMB-DUM-DA-DA-DUM intro really ruins it for me unfortunately

THANK YOU! I always wondered where those horns came from, for over 10 years!

"I think I'm gonna drop my cool now
The best way to touch your heart is to make an ass of myself"
At least somebody's got a sense of humor. ;)
One change, it's
I said, "It used to be my grand-grandfather's, what can I do BUT INHERIT IT?" (the jacket)
For the swedes out there: I'm trying to learn Swedish now, and how come it's "kanske är jag" instead of "kanske jag är"?
The "kanske är jag" is probably something like "i might be".
Swedish has something called the V2 word order, which means that the finite verb generally comes in second position in an independent clause (after the subject or adverbial or something like that). So we say "Jag är kär i dig" but "Kanske är jag kär i dig" because the verb "är" must keep its second position. Google "v2 word order" for more information. :)
