I’m semi-obsessed with this singular song today:
” Kärlekens Alla Färjor” - Detektivbyrån
I’ve played it seven times so far, and it’s not even lunchtime. It’s like happiness in a cup, which I wish I really could buy. It’s put together so well. The band Detektivbyrån is from Sweden. Here’s their Myspace. Here’s a video of [...]
