You Are the Light

Jens Lekman

A sun-drenched explosion of horn samples, handclaps, and baritone storytelling. The sound of being young, Swedish, and hopelessly in love with the world.

It's like a 60s soul record made by a witty Swedish guy in his bedroom with a sampler and a dream.

A triumphant and witty celebration of romantic absurdity wrapped in lush, sampled soul.

You Are the Light (reprise)
1:25
Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive entry of the sampled horn section that transforms a bedroom pop track into a soul anthem.
The deadpan delivery of the lyric about being arrested for a minor romantic gesture.
The gentle, stripped-back reprise that feels like the credits rolling on a short film.
