Beirut @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
I just discovered this - video
My favourite part is when they do ‘La Javanese’. Zach Condon is doubly sexy in French.
(from the dusty hum - who made my life easier for figuring this out)
M Ward and William Blake
M. Ward’s forthcoming album Hold Time has a fun song called “Blake’s View”:
Death is just a door, Blake said it first
It’s just another room we enter, it’s a threshold that hurts
Birth is just a chorus, death is just a verse
In the great song of spring that the mockingbirds sing
We come and we go, a-weeping and a-wailing
Our heads in the hands of the nurse
Well, put your head on my shoulder, baby, tell me where it hurts
You say you lost your one and only, could it get any worse?
I said, “Death is just a door, you’ll be reunited on the other side”
