277

Tonight on the 277th day until I am 30, I am going on a date with Brian to see Beirut at the Greek Theatre! Je suis très enthousiaste (I am very excited)! I adore them…ADORE. I find their music moving and soulful. Considering I love all their songs I had a seriously hard time choosing which to post today but I finally settled on “Elephant Gun”….because I love the lyrics and the video is pretty magical! Enjoy!

If I was young, I’d flee this town
I’d bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die
We drink tonight

Far from home, elephant gun
Let’s take them down one by one
We’ll lay it down, it’s not been found
It’s not around

Let the seasons begin
It rolls right on
Let the seasons begin
Take the big king down

Let the seasons begin
It rolls right on
Let the seasons begin
Take the big king down

And it rips through the silence
Of our camp at night
And it rips through the night

And it rips through the silence
Of our camp at night
And it rips through the silence
All that is left is all that I hide

Elephant Gun by Beirut
