I’ll never know which five songs they were, and that might be the root cause. I purposely listened carefully, I paid attention to the lyrics, and now only one hour later can’t remember anything about the songs apart from there being light singing and they doubled eachother a couple times. That’s not entirely true- I do remember that one song was named Bleecker Street but that’s only because I was already familiar with the street name itself and not the song.
I’m sure the general idea is “Listen for some more hours and you’ll appreciate it / find its genius” but I think I was hoping for something to stand out about the songs other than a soft hum. They’ll get another chance in the future.
If it’s in any way related, I’ve liked most of the Paul Simon’s Graceland album since the day I first heard it, but continue to find Vampire Weekend to be even less interesting than S&G.
