Per Gessle has released the last single from his duet album, Sällskapssjuk. Har på känn is a duet with Uno Svenningsson. This is not the first song Per and Uno sing together. Uno appeared as a duet partner on Per’s Gammal kärlek rostar aldrig album in 2020 and they sang Du kommer så nära (du blir alldeles suddig) together. Then Uno released a duet, Bara få höra din röst, with Per in 2022. Mr. Svenningsson also performed as the support act on Gyllene Tider’s Hux Flux tour in 2023.
Har på känn is the fifth single from the album and it contains three songs:
Side A
Har på känn
Side B
Blazer
Kvar i min bil (MP Remix 2024)
Listen to it on any streaming platform (Spotify) and don’t forget to order the physical copy (out on 14th March), 7″ vinyl HERE!
The B sides are now added to the Deluxe version of Sällskapssjuk.
Per says in the press release:
Uno Svenningsson is one of my absolute favourite singers and I feel incredibly honoured to release another duet with him. “Har på känn” is on my latest album “Sällskapssjuk” which came out last fall. Now we are approaching spring by leaps and bounds and “Har på känn” feels just right with its beautiful swing and soft breeze.
To RoxBlog’s question if Blazer is anyhow related to an early Mono Mind session, Per replies:
Yes, “Blazer” was recorded during the Mono Mind-sessions. There are several instrumental tracks I (we) made as “musical passages” between songs. In the end I didn’t use that many. “Mile-Melter” was one of them (it was an instrumental when we started working on it…). “Away Away Away” was another. And “Lap Dancing”. There are a few more that might pop up. “The Peace Patrol”. “Tap Dancing”. Some good, some not so good…
As there were a couple of MP 2024 remixes released during the past months, I asked PG if MP was doing anything else during 2024 than remixing his songs.
I try to keep MP busy. He’s doing some other remixes at the moment. Stay tuned…
Har på känn
Det finns en lag
Som gör mig svag
Som lägger skulden på min skuldra jag blundar
Och drunknar i ditt hav
Jag kan ha fel
Jag vill vara hel
Att hitta viljan som förlåter är svårast
Jag är en bit på väg
Jag har på känn
Att du kommer tillbaka
Kommer tillbaka som om ingenting hänt
Jag har känt
Att du kommer tillbaka
Du kommer tillbaka som om inget har hänt
Och sanningen
Vad döljer den?
Ju mer jag undrar ju mindre förstår jag
Vad som händer sen
Men jag har på känn
Att du kommer tillbaka
Kommer tillbaka som om ingenting hänt
Jag har känt
Att du kommer tillbaka
Du kommer tillbaka som om inget har hänt

Kvar i min bil was included in the movie Låt den rätte komma in (Let The Right One In). It was not written for the movie itself, it was a leftover from En händig man. It can be found on The Per Gessle Archives – Demos & Other Fun Stuff Vol. 2. That recording is from AGM, 28th April 2007. Mr. G released it as a limited edition single (500 pcs) on 7″ vinyl in April 2014 for Record Store Day.
