There's a time in life for Hoagy Carmichael. There's a time in life for Claude Debussy. There's a time in life for Jerry Lee Lewis. There's a time in life for Destiny's Child. All these things have their moment. ~Elvis Costello

Citizen K: “Stichy’s Tune” (2009)
Klas Qvist’s tender acoustic “Stichy’s Tune” is one of the instrumental interludes among a varied and appealing set of 70’s-flavored folk pop.
Other songs bring to mind artists such as America or Gordon Lightfoot.

Citizen K: “For Citizen A” (2009)
Citizen K is Swede Klas Qvist, who mixes diverse 60’s and 70’s pop influences on his second record, on which he plays most of the instruments. Lead track “For Citizen A” is a heartrendingly fatalistic look at love and its potential for loss.
If anything we can’t foresee should blow this candle out
Please remember that I loved you for dear life
If Qvist is saying that to love is to risk the loss of something precious, he’d surely find agreement from a certain American songwriter he seems to have taken a cue from.
