Among the earnest power-pop efforts of the New Pornographers' Challengers rests “Myriad Harbour,” a ramshackle, typically unhinged track written by band mad-poet Dan Bejar, who is also known for his solo outings as Destroyer. “Sometimes there are songs that are 15 years old that I’m not going to rec...
Myriad Harbour Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I took a plane, I took a train
(Ah, who cares, you always end up in the city)
I said to Carl, "Look up for once"
(See just how the sun sets in the sky)
I said to John, "Do you think the girls here
(Ever wonder how they got so pretty?)
Oh, well I do!"
[Chorus]
Look out upon the myriad harbour
Look out upon the myriad harbour
Look out upon the myriad harbour
[Verse 2]
All the boys, with their home-made microphones
(Have very interesting sounds)
All the girls falling to ruin, dropping out of school, breakin' daddy's heart
(Just to hang around)

[Verse 3]
I took a plane, I took a train
(Ah, who cares, you always end up in the city)
Stranded at Bleecker and Broadway
Looking for something to do
Someone somewhere asked me, "Is there anything in particular I can help you with?"
(All I ever wanted help with was you)
[Chorus]
Look out upon the myriad harbour
Look out upon the myriad harbour
Look out upon the myriad harbour
Look out upon the myriad harbour

What has Carl Newman said about the song?
There is something uniquely loose and fun about this song that makes it stand out — not just from other New Pornographers songs, but from Destroyer as well. He knew I’d just moved to NYC, so he wrote a weird little fictional take on the journey, where he, John Collins and I are characters. [This is]...
