No, it's not so easier
Not so easier
Not so easier
Oh, not so easier
Not so easier
Not so easier
No, it's not too late to find where you are
It's not too late to find where you are
It's not too late to find
No, it's not so easier
Not so easier
Not so easier
Oh, it's not too late to find where you are
It's not too late to find where you are
It's not too late to find
Oh, you're not too late to find where you are
You're not too late to find where you are
You're not too late to find
Good Lord, I'm not so easier
I'm not so easier
Not so easier

Probably just me, but the chanting hymnal vocals elicit such a powerful emotional response...so amazingly simple and evocative, in spite of the Casio keyboard programming....

There's a definite Polynesian vibe in this song.
One of the standouts on the new album. I was testing some new hi-fi eqipment and at 1:46 a smile formed ear to ear (Schiit Vidar 2 powering KEF LS50 Meta).

I really hope you start feeling better smartn1 
I hear a David Byrne influence

I like this very much, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the reason a track with the line "Not so easier" was placed immediately after a track with the line "How does it feel like" (Chemical Brothers, "Let Forever Be") was just to wind up the grammar police amongst us. Nice one, Bill.  
It's a bit repetitive but the melody is really nice - 6 but might go to a 7 
Wonderful band, wonderful song. This one was recorded in Norway in a community called Hadsel and the city named Stokmarknes.
6 -> 7 and probably soon -> 8 ... 
Very very nice.

Meaningless low-effort comment. Nowhere close to a comprehensible, rational thought.
this is growing on me - 8
Oh YAY, new Beirut!
Thanks Bill :-)
Fun fact:
Hadsel is a small town in Northern Norway and it's the birthplace of Sivert Høyem (Madrugada).
Meaningless scat singing. Nowhere close to  “do do do,, da da da.

I thought it sounds more Daniel Lanois-esque...

David Byrne could do nothing so holy and soothing.
