Myriad Harbour Lyrics
I took a train
(Ah, who cares, you always end up in the city)
Look up for once
(See just how the sun sets in the sky)
Do you think the girls here
(Ever wonder how they got so pretty?)
Oh, well I do
Look out upon the Myriad Harbour
Look out upon the Myriad Harbour
With their home-made microphones
(Have very interesting sounds)
Dropping out of school, breaking daddy's heart
(Just to hang around)
And asked for an American music anthology
It sounds fun
They tore up my sketches
Stuck them on the walls of PS1
I took a train
(Ah, who cares, you always end up in the city)
Looking for something to do
Is there anything in particular I can help you with?
(All I ever want to help with was you)
Look out upon the Myriad Harbour
Look out upon the Myriad Harbour
Look out upon the Myriad Harbour
Dan Bejar. Yes, he does sound pretty feminine in this song. (but Kathryn?!)
(from their website) "In this song, Dan urges me to 'look up for once and see just how the sun sets in the sky.' Two songs later, I sing that 'there is something unguided in the sky tonight.' Coincidence?"
So he's talking to Carl in the second verse, could he be talking to John (Collins) in the third?
Just a thought.
haha, ok, well, in my defense, it was quite clearly not carl and not neko, i've only heard kathryn's voice live before so i'm not really familiar with it...and he sounds REALLY girlish. i mean, i could tell some parts were dan bejar. whatever. im stupid.
um, but, the song is still quite brilliant.
supaah song. that opening riff reminded me of another song but i couldn't place it for forever. i just realized 2 minutes ago it's "i bleed" by the pixies. crazy shit
Interesting you bring that up, I thought the way they go "Look out upon the Myriad Harbour-rah-ah-ah" was very Black Francis-ish. Love finding Pixies influences.

i like this. is this kathryn singing?
One of the best Bejar Porno songs, imho.
I think it's "Stranded at Bleeker and Broadway", as in: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=40.726871,-73.995809&spn=0.001472,0.001797&z=19&om=1&layer=c&cbll=40.72652,-73.99584&cbp=1,267.291129032258,0.5,0
Best song on Challengers imo.
Brilliant, Dan Bejar.
You're not stupid, my mom thought it was a woman too. He really does sound like one.
dan bejar is by far the most talented new pornograoher.
thsi is my fave song off of challengers. "I said to Jon Do you think the girls here (Ever wonder how they got so pretty?) Oh well I do"--favorite line. :]
I totally thought this was a girl singing... but on youtube all the clips are Bejar singing. I see them in Paris in two days so maybe all will be revealed then. YAY!
