[fabianoftw]

thanks @zabeus

[fabianoftw]

Go once upon the Lord!!!!! brilliant phrase...

[inaniell1]

This band is perfect!

[IRVEL19]

anybody knows the meaning of this song??

[x2XtReMEx]

After watching all these videos, I definitely want to start a band like this. So much.

[sabajedrick]

sailing on the Mediterranean exploring foreign lands and sharing stories of my adventures...this song idolizes my child like sense of wonder and exploration

[valleyofcats]

There is nothing for me to do except get up out of bed, stand up, and applause at the screen.

[woodlie]

i love that his voice is just as resilient live

also this song always reminded me of the hymn 'gloria' and its excellent that theyre in a church

[bethseda]

Zach Condon and friends' compositions kick my heart around every time I hear them.

[qwerqs3]

maybe Im weird or dont have any musical talent but Im listening to it because it sounds nice and not because it gives me some kind of special feeling. oh well. condon is really talented and Im looking forward to future songs

[juanchoalicante]

No words

[hulagirl93]

@NOCCAEDM we are all so much better off now that you have given us that lovely insight, which ironically enough (if for some reason I do not sound sarcastic enough) makes you sound plenty "uppity hippie" yourself but since you enjoy beirut I won't cause a riot and just lol' it off. haha love zach condon!

[littlecake]

goosebumps all over!!

[cbqacebo]

This music is so beautiful!! They are so great!! I love Beirut =)

[twirlyboggs]

[JessicaFreefall]

this song leaves me speechless.

[TheTheJPShow]

The ending is epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jamokeman]

I don't even know what to say after that.

[groovyaki]

I wish there was some way I could depict how this music makes me feel. It's like soaring and melting at the same time, it's like falling apart and rising up. Words are too cold and one-dimensional to explain this feeling.

[jimemarsden]

@groovyaki That's the beauty of music, my dear.

[ChanceCooper125]

@groovyaki Well then don't say anything.

[SunnyShine43]

@groovyaki It's just beautiful :)

[volcomkryptonite]

I built my house of reeds upon a marsh in Elise My father was released a day's walk from San Denise We buried him beneath the bone-white sands of San Denise Silence of an airborne night Push high above the roof Daughters of the Red lights blind The icy works of art The city lights and restless nights Go once upon the Lord You and I will lie beside the fire sparked from boards It's yours

[freeirie]

i cried

[EliSaysHiii]

The last 20 seconds of this video makes my heart melt.

[ooganblat]

Their best song...

[freeirie]

you and i will lie beside the fire sparked from boards.

[elydavo]

it says my name in this song! :D

[Brushoky]

Perfect

[grifax]

just perfect!!!!! its my favorite!!!!

[plainspoken]

if the smart guy with the fan was hot, maybe he should have taken off his tweed professor blazer.

[plainspoken]

would have given up days to be in the chorus.

weep.

[heyheyitsmj]

The album was named after this song for a reason- I think it's the best.

[taeng69]

absolut fantastisch!

[woodlie]

i love the choruses but i wish it could have been louder in the beginning and even more loud in the end

itd seem more glorious

[haruspex13]

That's one of the best performance videos I've ever seen. Its by far the best in the whole "take away shows" series.

[enkidenys]

I don't like it but probably thats just me,but i would like to know were they are from.

[jesseinpain]

Zach ( the singer and frontman is an Native Mexican American. But He formed the band in Europe.

[heyheyitsmj]

Actually, he's from New Mexico.

[Fillipinoskater]

actually he moved to New Mexico from Virginia.

[FraNate]

not to mention the incredible video

[FraNate]

such a great song, such a great band

[TheGreatGreekGatsby]
