[456zoe]

[lnsordo91]

what kind of pick is he using for his ukulele? whenever i use a pick for my uke it sounds very bad

[headman844]

Does anyone know what park that is?

[BergamoFirenzeSGV]

@rqqrt agreed lol

[smartfkr]

5:10 what the fuck is that? ha i want one:D

[nyappynoodle]

epic video, thanks for posting!

[TheTheJPShow]

I LOVE when he plays @ the end!

[FrostLagoon]

Does anyone know what kind of ukulele he was playing at the end? Thanks!

[lnsordo91]

@FrostLagoon that my friend is a fluke ukulele :]. i do not no the brand however

[FrostLagoon]

@lnsordo91 I am deeply thankful! :D

[gooseymoose]

i have this strange fantasy of moving in next door and trading records with zach... anyone know what street in brooklyn this is?? -_-

[home2oblivion]

that piece he does with the drum stick is amazing!

[ginastripes]

Dude, everyone who's tripping out on the fact that he smokes need to calm down, you people swear hes commiting murder or something of the sort. Many of the GREATS have smoked Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, Frank Sinatra, Jeff Buckley, Robert Plant, Janis Joplin, Mick Jagger, Billie Holiday...the list goes on and on. just drop it, i doubt he gives a fuck. right on.

[DMLU7]

@Halileet THANK YOU! although it isn't as long or as fast paced as I would of loved.

[DMLU7]

does anyone know if he made a song with the melody at 1:27 where he is using a drumstick? its brilliant.

[ThereWereHeroes]

what song does he play at 2:26 - 2:52 ? ;D

[droctagon17]

@ThereWereHeroes Mimizan

[ngaio95]

I LOVE ZACH!!! but seriously what is he doing to his voice by smoking!! :(

[chunglb]

he's married? he's wearing a silver ring on his left hand.

[droctagon17]

Yep.

[chunglb]

Well, how depressing

[Jackal9911]

D: he smokes!?

[doodlehh]

Yeah, I know. What is he doing to his voice??

[Musiny]

Zach I love you!*

[monk4029]

I am in smitten love with this man!!

[rruffins]

i thought he lived in williamsburg ,,, thst looks like dyker er sumthin

[lesnuitsacoustic]

the German presenter just introduces the scenery...you can see the projects iny and he tells us that zach just bought a small house there recently

[mieery]

what an annoying language.german.

[peskasker]

i wholeheartedly agree

[inbeatleboots]

what is the german?

[itsmonicaaah]

Zach is amazing <3

[stealthintern]

who cares about the ring. i hope he's truly madly deeply in love. he deserves it, as much as anything and everything. he's already brought so much hope, love, and inspiration with his musical talent. i cannot thank him enough sometimes.

[mikkel12dam]

tell me about it (;

[mikkel12dam]

does anyone know the song he play at 3,10  ?

[213Basti]

i think it is mimizan?!

[angieterror]

ahh he's engaged...there goes my dream lol

[chubipo]

Yeah he has gained weight, he's adorable.

[lukastaneda1]

[deadSIRENS]

not really. simply an obvious observation i made.

[georgefruit]

what kind of keys is he playing?

thats a sweet piano tone.

[deadSIRENS]

zach gained weight.

[Chunderbawz]

wrong cigs mate.

American spirits.

Lights are the yellow pack

[ptnuttty]

right right, I always get that mixed up. I've seen the light blues and yellows in photos before, though.

[tmtulmm]

is zach married now then?

[droctagon17]

I wonder what kind of cigs Zach smokes.

[ptnuttty]

American Spirit Lights (light blue pack)

[tmtulmm]

smoking kills :(

[droctagon17]

So does living.

[codyjb08]

agreed

[gruedr]

second question: anyone willing to post an instructional video on how to play mimizan on the accordion? i cant see what hes doin on the bass buttons, and im not all too sure he's even using they keys.

[droctagon17]

I can tell you the chords, that's about it. F#, B for the verses. Em, B for the chorus.

[franesBlamescheezytv]

4:48 I can just repeat so many times. He seems much older now.

[bitterman188]

aww.

[schmoyoho]

his voice is so eerily endearing. great interview

[kaiserschon]

the last seconds....speechless....price­less...

i'm glad being mexican!!

=)

[thewretchedrod]

your glad for being mexican..?

just because an "outsider" tells you that's cool being it...i'm sure your not...or please dont be glad just beacause of it...

[kaiserschon]

what the fuck are u talking about? i'm mexican and i am totally proud of being one. i just adore this music genius, and als i love my country...so that mix is unbelievable lovely for me. You idiot, dont you talk if you dont know. Get your mouth fuckin' shouted please

[thewretchedrod]

los tres lugares donde paso mas tiempo en el año son: cuidad de mexico, monterrey y oaxaca, "music genious" en otras palabras a eso se le llama colonizacion... no seas pendejo hermano.. como es posible que alguien te quiera venir aver la cara de pendejo tocando musica que nuestros compatriotas trabajan tanto y todos ignoran, te apuesto que si no fuera por beirut no lo escharias...al menos no de esta manera.

[kaiserschon]

mira hermano, mis padres y mis abuelos son oaxaqueños. mi abuelo tocó en una banda funebre toda su juventud carnal, personalmente tengo ciertas nociones de acordeon (pocas, es cierto) asi que..mira..primero, no insultes, segundo, si no sabes que onda, abstente de opinar, vale? Zach es un genio porque desde los 15 años hace realmente buena musica. y si tiene mas proyeccion que nuestra gente es porque en su pais hay muchas mas oportunidades. un saludo.

[deadSIRENS]

aaaah you guys don't fight on a beirut video.

[jimostrokes]

@thewretchedrod heey a mi me gusta que Beirut sacara este disco y como tu dices nadie la pela porque los mismos mexicanos no nos interesa eso no es colonización se llama ellos aprenden de lo que nosotros tenemos y es bueno que bandas extranjeras hagan esto para que veamos que otros ven lo hermosa que es nuestra música y nosotros mismos no podamos verla mi familia es d oaxaca asi que ya se que existe esta música la culpa la tienen los otros por no verla

[nichtswiezuvor]

super <3 danke

[gruedr]

3:09-3:32

what song is that?

[efreit01]

Mimizan - look for it on the "Dark Was The Night" compilation.

[kaiserschon]

is he left handed?

wow...i admire him even more right now!!

[droctagon17]

An amazing song called Mimizan. It's on the "Dark Was the Night" compilation.

[marianeeds]

... "it´s not where you take it, it´s where you take it to"... yeih Zach & mexican band.

[smitharik0]

I wish I could understand the German

[droctagon17]

Amazing. Mimizan is beautiful.

[Leemillerpenrose]

Amazing....zach is such a huge musician!i'm speechless...
