Cover art for The Penalty lyrics by Beirut

Hello fellow Beirut/Zach Condon fans. This mans music has utterly blown me away since I only recently discovered it. I cant believe hes so young, too.

As for this song, I dont claim to have deciphered it myself, but through reading and watching the videos on www.flyingclubcup.com (Unbelievable) this song is about acceptance, learning that each moment should be cherished because every moment has an ending and eventually there wont be another one along to replace it. I quote from the site, "Because, at the end, its always time to leave". Beautiful.x
