Postcard #5

February 1st, 2015

When I started playing music
I have this dream in my head
Of driving down a country road
With my guitar on a moped
Stopping in a town
Play someone's house at a local library
But you know that's not how a tour works
Someone explained to me

I'm dreaming of a little tour
Playing all those places that I've never played before
I'm dreaming of a little tour
Playing all those places that I've never played before

Every time I go from Gothenburg to Stockholm
On a Swedish tour
I see the names of all those places
As we pass them on the E4
I think of the e-mails I'm getting
"When are you playing my little town?"
I say, "Maybe on the next tour."
Well, I think that tour is now

I'm dreaming of a little tour
Playing all those places that I've never played before
I'm dreaming of a little tour
Playing all those places that I've never played before

I'm thinking two weeks in May
When spring is turning into summer
I bring my guitar and my PA
You bring your friends and your lover

So if you have an apartment
Or a barn or a library
Or a church or a cafe
Or a distinguished winery
And if you want me to play
But maybe you've never hosted a show before
You send an e-mail to dinstad@jenslekman.com
And we'll explain it some more

I'm yours
