“If You Ever Need A Stranger”
When I Said I Wanted to Be Your Dog (Secretly Canadian)
I’ve been away for a week or so, mostly because I flew back to California for two of my best friends’ wedding (they married each other). Without going all LiveJournal on everyone, it was a sensational, moving weekend where I saw a lot of my closest, oldest friends. For that, I wanted today’s HJOTD to be my favorite wedding song — this powerful, plaintiff ballad from my spirit animal, Jens Lekman. It sums up a lot of my silly, sappy feelings about weddings, developed while working a lot of them in college. Since I can’t sing, however, my version would be called, “If You Ever Need a Stranger To DJ Your Wedding.”
Congrats again, Cha & Beata.
