Beirut - Santa Fe

One of those songs that takes you to a fresh clean place away from this congested city. The synth and layers are bliss. The beginning seems morbid, but just watch until the end. Twisted perhaps, yes... but I think the greater message implies that loss of others does not always mean loss of yourself. You are alive... humor in being alive! *Live*  The last scene shows that the man still has himself... He still has his sense of humor, he can still live on, and still keep the warmest, best memories of his beloved lady and dog.


On another note.. the lead singer, Zachary Francis Condon, originally began "Beirut" as his solo musical project, but then expanded into a band. He was brought up in Newport News, just 1.5 hours east of my hometown, then moved to New Mexico. I heard Santa Fe is a beautiful place... now, it has a beautiful song attached to its psychological spot in my mind. Sweet.
