Beirut – Mimizan

• +1
  General Comment:On my first visit to Toronto, my friend and his friends brought me to the beaches area where I got to sit beside Lake Ontario. We went to the beach and sat on some rocks and when everyone stopped talking, I played this song. It was really lucky choice because my phone only had this song from Beirut, since I only had the 'Dark was the Night' compilation.
  
  My friend (who moved to Toronto 6 years ago) and his friends all smiled and agreed at the choice of the song. It was a nice feeling I chose the 'right song' for the occasion. There is also a side story about me thinking of moving to Toronto as well.

  General Comment:''The lines are on board, it's quiet offshore
  But the wind blows
  
  The children are here but the women just stare
  From the windows
  
  See the lawns outside, groomed green lawns
  Oh how they glow
  
  And I spotted you there, curlers in hair
  On the telephone
  
  And I, Iong for you.
  Yes I, long for you.
  
  Oh I'll move for you.
  Yes, I'll move for you
  
  Years spent round on the floor
  As the maid sweeps dust
  And leaves from the back door
  
  My heart could be yours
  Within dreams we're free
  But you'd always ask for more.
  
  So I'll move for you
  Yes, I'll move for you
  
  Oh I'll move for you.
  Yes, I'll move for you. ''

  General Comment:I think it's:
  
  "See the lawns outside, groomed green lawns,
  Oh how they glow."
  
  Also, I hear:
  
  "Years spin round on the floor,
  As the maid sweeps dust
  And leaves form the back door."
