Jens LekmanBut among all the songs I’ve lent out my voice to, there is one duet that I really love. In „Dark and Quiet Place“ the adult contemporary faggot Guy Blackman finds himself drunk in a sauna, checking out someone who reminds him of his first crush. It is an awkward, yet tender scene that is summed up with „We said nothing, nothing needed to be said…“ When Guy sent me this song, my oldest favourite in his wonderful songbook, I approached it as an actor rather than a singer. I visualised the scene, the sweat and the nervosity. The drunk confidence at first, then the bitter rejection. It is not something you choose to do, but something the song makes you do.
Den Song gibt es auf myspace zu hören.

Arise now, ye Tarnished/Ye dead, who yet live/ The call of long-lost grace speaks to us all
