How good is this heartbreakingly beautiful song was the question I asked the Policeman who was in the act of booking me for speeding to which he asked me to blow into his bag and lo and behold I was also done for drinking and driving which proved to me this particular policeman had no soul.
I got this album and was in a rush so I threw it on my MP3 player. While on the bus I heard this song for the first time. Goosebumps and tears apparently draw a lot of eyes. This song is stunning and gorgeous and melancholy. It encompasses everything that Beirut is and I love it so very much.
Wow, teared up by 0.05, crying by 0.10, and sobbing for joy by 0:45;... I've been raped by beauty. I love You Zach!!!.....in a totally heterosexual way of course!!?!
Always makes me think of Jay Gatsby.

I'm a pretty unemotional guy but at the end of Chuck, I think somebody nearby was cutting onions. C&S.

@bob87291 indeed. they're all pretty good songs, but having this many similar songs on the same album is a bit... neophytic?

There was a young man from Goshen,
Who used to get his balls out to wash them,
His wife told him "Jack if you dont put them back,
I'll stand on the buggers and squash them!"

My heartstrings have been retuned by this amazingly beautiful song.
I am that bird that has unfurled its broken wings and wants to fly again.
It is my wish also to do something so special that it ignites the fire within our souls.
