Thankfully Napster has Beirut, so we’ve been listening. I haven’t really looked at the lyrics until now - it’s been background music mostly for us. Great stuff.
Glad you’re enjoying the music, Hannah. The lyrics are often just confusing, but like Sufjan’s, I think they are often more for the sounds of the words and what they evoke than any particular meaning.
