Jens Lekman is an accidental wedding singer. But he'salso a wedding singer for a reason. Ever since his 2004song "If You Ever Need a Stranger (To Sing at YourWedding)" he has had a side gig fielding requests fromstrangers to sing at their weddings. For over twentyyears, he's had a particular vantage point from which tosee the role love songs can play in our lives. In 2020, heand novelist David Levithan co-conceived anovel-with-music, Songs from Other People's Weddings.Originally this album was meant to contain the songsfrom the weddings in the book, but as the novel cametogether, Lekman began to imagine what happenedbetween the book's chapters. The book and the albumeventually became intertwined but also found their ownpaths. The book remained the structure of the story, butthe album sometimes snuck behind the scenes. Storiesfrom the songs made their way into the book and viceversa. The result is an exploration of what we sing aboutwhen we sing about love - euphoria, doubt, dislocation,tenderness, conflict, playfulness, gratitude, ingratitude,longing, belonging, questioning, answering. It's verymuch about a relationship and how it's reflected throughthe relationships and weddings of others, but most of allit's a lovesong to lovesongs.
