Jens Lekman's Sandy inspired song

From the ashes of tragedy and dire circumstances comes artistic inspiration. At least there's something positive that comes out of such situations in the end, as miniscule in comparison it may be. Swedish singer songwriter Jens Lekman was inspired after his Sandy superstorm experience with his pianist Jonas.

Lekman: I asked if anyone would be able to drive [Jonas] to Boston where I knew we could get him on a plane. In return I offered a little money and a song. I was shocked when I checked my email a few minutes later and it was packed with people wanting to help. Shortly I had two girls on the case, Olivia and Maddy. I promised them a song for their job and so here it is… It’s of course a song for all of you who offered to help. And as I sing in the song, I didn’t know I had such an army to mobilize.

Olivia and Maddy should be pretty happy with the song. I would be.
