Thanks to the video of the exact moment of birth of our son, and after several audio tests to try and filter out all the noise joy can provoke in such a moment, we found the song of the special playlist we had prepared for a looong night that has welcome him to the world on this very special day (21/12/2012, winter solstice, end of the world, right?)...
The song is The Practice, by Beirut.
Great song. And look at the lyrics!
Season, parents, lights, everything is in it...
------------------------------------------
"Like an ancient day and I'm on trial
Let them seize the way, this once was an island
And I could not stay for I believed them
Left for the lights always in season
Impassable night in a crowd of homesick
Fully grown children, you'll leave the lights
Your family may not wait, Sir, keep on believing
Our parents rue the day, they find us kneeling
Let them think what they may, for they've good reason
Left for the lights always in season"
-----------------------------------------
And what was the previous song, bringing him to the world?
Build a Home by Cinematic Orchestra...
What a great random playlist!
