[alexawannabe]

this breaks me heart

[superwowyeahcool]

you can simply forget guitars with them :)

[Lafayettebluesman]

@superwowyeahcool Guitar? What is this "guitar" thing you speak of? I have never heard of such a thing!

[raritzu]

Fantastic!

[FurieFu]

I wish Zach washes his hair more often.

[Vespanius]

@FurieFu no he shouldn't because euhm ....... GET BACK TO THE KITCHEN !!!!!

[FurieFu]

@Vespanius

[srekoble]

[cheerocke]

[AOAWHATSUP]

[cheerocke]

@AOAWHATSUP Drummer is a the best guy from this orchestra :D Look at all videos Beirut hahaha :D

[condiersea]

those lucky people whom are hearing this song for the first time.

[nicole23ap]

This is one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard.

[LiveWire021]

Now this is more like it. I just saw their video of Postcards at Glastonbury and I nearly had a stroke it was that shit. This on the other hand, a jaw dropping performance and song by the standards of any band.

[statisticaldinosaur]

He's married? How come I didn't know about that

[ler0y182]

Three people disliked this. I mean, What? How? Why would you do that. You fucks. Im gonna hunt you down.

[2fromdust]

5/5... SO FUCKIN' AMAZING :|

BEIRUT = HEAVEN

[jetro315]

[kagaingas]

the band is too fast for zach

[ryko26]

@dancewithRAJEAN way too fast, I agree

[Erasedmuseum]

Fuck U

[belgianwolfie]

amazing display of passion for music

[mambuduomally]

criminally underrated

[UpsetGoldfish]

They are euphoric to listen to. An orgasm for the ears.

[fubar12345]

@mambuduomally could not say it any better, one of the best bands around

[christinaaaaa]

@mambuduomally not anymore! ~.~

[Lafayettebluesman]

Zach's voice... So amazing.

[f00tcr33m]

amazing :D, drums were a lil loud in the beggining, but playing the drums quiet is no fun

[Capnbukowski1]

i dunno...i think there appropriately powerful rather than loud

[ben23speed]

kinda looks like isaac brock in this video :)

[MacTolver]

I most positively enjoy Beirut's refreshing sound.

[HarHazel]

So very perfect. Who else was on this show?

[azurebass24]

white stripes kaiser cheif feist etc

[ThisIsNotMyIdea]

Oh My God!

[johnfitz26]

drummers face cracks me up

[jonerworm]

Music is not dead!

[jennyeugenie]

trhey are amazing!!!! they fly you away!!!!!!!!

[wcibbt]

I think the drummer got a little excited and set the tempo to fast at first.

[blubb131211]

yeah. I thought so too. Guess it's after all not their best perfomance..

[fovoco]

puta que pariu, sem palavras

[hellothere425]

zach is lookin' sharp

[jennyeugenie]

excellent!!!!!!

[fernandomarques13]

Good... =D

[LeaheyHoo]

hey guys, check out a new concert from Beirut on our page

[retrohippie]

They deserved a much better clap than that. :[

[rosiekate]

best version of this song live. its amazing from the start but it gets better and better as it goes on. absolutely love this band. i'd definitely recommend the album.

[jfidajoiiejrjj]

If you like this version, you should see the La Blogotheque Take Away Show version. It's fantastic as well.

[rosiekate]

agreed. love all the songs from that. they're all on my favourites :)

[xfrailaspaper]

Yeah the La Blogotheque Take Away shows are amazing.

[uomr]

Simplemente INCREIBLE!!!!!!!

[skatefarmerftw]

lol

"they have a lovely sound..not this song but the next one"

shup jools.

[190jamie]

foolish child you misunderstand him:

"they have a lovely sound... not this song but in a little bit they're going to play a waltz, and a waltz always gets me going"

you suck

[HappyFuriousMonkey]

No be nice!

[Vincspenc]

Exactly!

[Vincspenc]

Yes! Be nice!

[jflex]

Why do people use YouTube comments as an opportunity to be rude?

[WanderlustQueen]

haha, i wasn't paying attention at first when he said that. wtf.

[123pormi]

sin palabras... nunca los había visto en un programa en vivo

[nicole23ap]

i love this song

[IAmMrGareth]

did this song for a school performance lol

had everyone of the original instruments plus a mandarin :P

i did the singing

[BoxOfFrogbit]

A mandarin??

[IAmMrGareth]

wow screwed up that one lol

meant mandolin... XD

must have been really tired when i typed that up :P

[qdifinancial86]

ahhh do you have the sheet music for the violin?

[IAmMrGareth]

nope lol

if only XD

[xflashahh]

horns live on!

[wylesmall]

WOW!

[blueYellowcake]

Amazing voice!

[blueYellowcake]

Amazing voice!

[willy92ie]

thought the cowbell comment was a good shout...noone got a sense of humour. ah yeh

[pinguin42]

I liked it

[Ghand85]

Which poor band had to follow that!!

The drummer was loving it! And so was I.

[waswares]

love them & love zach condon. of course. :)

[chedawson]

we need more musicians like zach to come over to England. And we need most of us to acknowledge it!. Musicians such as Beirut, Nat Baldwin, Dirty Projectors, Grizly Bear, Cassino and so on and so on. So many bands that would be appreciated if people just took the time to listen!!

Awesome performance!

[jkerouac02]

Beirut may have had 2 trumpets, a violin, tambourines, and even an accordion, but I didn't hear any cowbell. Weak.

[dariusz1977]

krasa

[mattaijauri]

Fantastic band! BUT, I´m upset they cancelled their whole european tour cause´ of some sort of "artistic" reason... :-(

[mshhsm]

yeah i was supposed to see them in august here in sweden. fan också as we say in sweden, haha

[Molly718]

well it wasn't for nothing since Zach said Beirut's probably releasing something (EP or LP) in the fall:D

[tommyblunt]

he kinda sounds like the lead singer of the smiths

[mus79]

No. Just no.

[therust1989]

sounds nothing like morissey lol

[WaTeRPolOLvR93]

wonderful voice. Perfect!

[Ukanflyy]

Wow! This is a great performance by Beirut! I like the change in the trumpet part at the end!

But strangely, Jools Holland introduces the song as a waltz, but the song isn't a waltz; it's in 4/4 time!

And Zach's voice is superb as always...

[drumking222]

he says a bit later they will be doing a waltz, hence A Sunday Smile. Great song anyway, so sad to hear of them having a "break"

[Ukanflyy]

Oops! I see, thanks for the clarification!

[exclamationpoint]

man their drummer is great isn't he?

[cacaface123]

i like just cause he uses a variety of textures or pieces for his drum set, and in the other jools live video, hes got this goofy look on his face when hes singing. i think its just its jaw structure. its crazy. love this band.

[yarafer]

I love his voice o.o it´s so clean...

[sperry22ut]

They are that good!

[haakur]

jesus! get off their dick! there not that good...

[Lienerdtje]

They are so talented.

[mickael13londres]

why beirut?

just messie....

[stuf1312]

man this is the shit great

[Dokijic]

I'm in love with this band...

[blacktulips221]

That man is a freaking musical genius. :)

GREAT PERFORMANCE!

[akearney1]

Fuuuuuck, so damn good! I love when it kicks in

[sackkisser]

This is the first song to get me this excited in along time. Haunting

[FyodorMyshkin]

so true man. Beirut is great.

[lsv548]

i heard this on friday 14th dec, and instantly fell in love with it, thanks ever so much for posting this, i keep watching it over and over :) getting the album for xmas off a friend.

[2fucksinlust]
