Letting the whole world down
How will I be sure this time around
What if the sun came 'round?
What if I drowned? What if I drowned?
And what were you safe from?
Did you roll a heartbeat but wrong?
I found a new island
What do we do if they don't run?

And I been alone again
Don't try to lose, don't try to win
We coming longer than done
Up here and around, I can't swim
And what were you saved from?
Did you roll and shoot the gun?
What were you saved from?
Should I run or should I turn?

This voice is just so special. I can not hear it all the time. But when it fits - it fits like glue!

First listen, it gets a 7 right out the gate.

New Beirut song. Always great to hear horns in the music.




IMHO, the horns make the tune. I thought it was a little snoozy until they piped in.

Beautiful melody. Hypnotic. Horns fit perfectly. Me gusto.



I think you mean to say “me gusta” or maybe “me gustó.” Big difference! 😀  Por cierto, me gusta también!
