This song isn't special by any means, but it has stuck with me ever since its release. I can't put words to it but I feel at home when this song comes on.
i like holding your hand
but it hurts oh i can't stand
to see you
to feel you
my insides are turning blue
i like the way that you walk
sometimes i wish you'd never stop
my heart aches
my bones break
with each little move you make
i can't help
i can't really help it
you make me feel like
you're waiting for the next best thing
something had to change
a girl you'd give a diamond ring
it's kinda hard to explain
i'm not mad that you don't adore me
wish you told me
but when i'm with you i feel lonely
oh
i've been staring outside
spare time was thinking i could find
where leaves blow
where the weeks go
when the snow comes to dampen your fall
far from the life that we knew
months hutle by and i barely see you
so i've been down
dumb as it sounds
when you're with me you're somebody else
i can't help
i can't really help it
you make me feel like
you're waiting for the next best thing
something had to change
a girl you'd give a diamond ring
it's kinda hard to explain
i'm not mad that you don't adore me
wish you told me
but when i'm with you i feel lonely
oh you're waiting for the next best thing
say hi to your friends
the table won't know what to bring
nice to see you again
your intentions are so damn hazy
though it pains me
i wish you'd let your guard get lazy
oh

I picked Brown Study purely for the Jens Lekman vibes. However, this entire album just gets more comfortable with every listen. This might be a niche take, but to me it's as if singer/songwriter Jens Lekman turned his hand to dream pop and trip hop while taking the rhythmic vibes of Cigarettes After Sex and dialing them up to "waking up in the morning after sex" tempo. It's a sonic trip is all I can say. riotgrrrl_meg

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe. Crow Yo
