"And all it takes to fall
If you don't walk, might as well crawl."

La Llorona (The Weeping Woman) by Beirut.  Video animated/directed by Owen Cook.  There's talk of Orkestar Slivovica learning this song.  I vote yes - it's a beautiful melody, plus the lilting, off-meter rhythm in the accompaniment adds another layer to it - but we shall see.

song, video, cautionary tale, lovely, music

You're welcome! I've had this song rolling about in my head for the past day or so now. It really is quite lovely, and has an interesting perspective on the whole story of la llorona.
