Sondre Lerche - Thirteen

Once again, a very inspired musical choice in the Norwegian TV program Trygdekontoret, where esteemed singer/songwriter Sondre Lerche performs a lovely version of the Big Star classic "Thirteen". Lerche nails the intensity of this wonderful song about adolescent love, alone with his guitar. It's naked and simple, just as it should be. What a great song this is, and for the record the original was written by Alex Chilton and Chris Bell for Big Star's 1972 album #1 Record.
