This beautiful, melodic, gentle new release by the American experimental rock band fronted by Zach Condon was written to accompany the performance the idiosyncratic Stockholm-based contemporary circus group Kompani Giraffe, who feature on the video. It heralds the next Beirut album, following 2023’s Hadsel, released on Condon’s label Pompeii Records. To explore and enjoy more by Beirut, see also the other embedded links below.
Kept outside these city walls
The tiger sang to me
From the wreckage of eternity
To his Caspian Sea
To fight is holy
But to starve is free
I am misery
For one moment in this hellish ring
I lock your eyes and see
You're also dying
You're also safe
You're also dying
You're also safe
You're awful shiny
And I'm awful vague
You're so together
And I'm known to beg
For one moment won't you lie with me
I'm in the rain
For one moment it's the last I swear
I feel your pain
You're also dying
You'rе also safe
You're also dying
You're also safе
