Beirut - Nantes

[Phil86vie]

pure beauty

[KwiatTamili]

Well, what can i say:) I really like it!:D

[MoRulez]

58 people will never mature beyond Sesame Street

[angel16037]

what I adora about Beirut is that they do things like this, totally different and not preciselly "perfect". I mean, this is awesome but totally different from a recording-studio-version.

Long live to Beirut ♪

and to the amazing voice of Zach Condon ♥

[tomgoldswain3]

i sense spontaneity 

[PivotPresident]

I want to live in that apartment complex.

[exvonz]

Purely talented and purely creative

[ucciachiara92]

The man of my life

[StrangerToEarth]

*Click* There's no place like that basement. *click* There's no place like that basement. *click* There's no place like that basement.

[jominsen]

as deeper it gets as more beautiful it gis

[KennyKrabbs]

This is Epic.

[MrYorke82]

beatiful videoclip, the most interesting i ever seen.

[rafi1313]

There are plenty of buildings in Beirut, Lebanon just like this one. Where they could have shot this video. Come to Beirut! <3

[Fabaarg]

DIOS MIO <3!!!!!

[shortvisionfilms]

i love this.



[Geytkeypur]

I didn't see my girlfriend for 624 days and when I saw her again I sang this

[srtabeca]

a Banda mais bonita da cidade plagiou legal o clipe! até a decida das escadas no começo, passar por pessoas tocando --'

[shhmellshlikeasshhhh]

His voice is orgasmic.

[bboykheops44]

I'm proud living in Nantes :)

[AdiBabasea]

Melbourne turn soon ::)

[TaylorHughson]

@Zlatkovitz it's because the video was uploaded in 2007 --when it was star ratings, not likes. 'Liking' has only started recently on youtube, after most of the views on this video had already been accumulated (it was very popular a few years ago - but now has far less views per month than when it first appeared).

[lorenalee09]

People.. use your fingers for few seconds and give it your thumbs up. Not a big deal

[BetaDelamor]

He certainly comes from another place and time

[smartyError]

masterpiece.

[sole83272]

@smartyError YESSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!

[iAple]

nantes - Y U HAVE SO MANY VERSIONS

[ketel971]

Epic, what an artist

[Zlatkovitz]

1.3 million views.

4375 likes = 0.33% likes

49 dislikes = 0.00037% dislikes

I wouldnt worry about the 49 dislikes, but the silent 99.66% ...

[knightmareco]

@Zlatkovitz 1329012 views are mine, but I can noly like this video once, damn you Youtube

[theuntroubledjones]

@knightmareco if i had watched this video 2 days ago, you would had read the same thing yesterday you wrote yesterday^^ damn you time^^ (same idea, different time)^^

[aidies1]

@Zlatkovitz because the 4375 watched this video 1,3 million times. its so catchy that you simple can`t watch it just one time. AWSOME SONG,ARTIST, VIDEO!



[Cachorrowoofito]

@Zlatkovitz the silent 99,66% is listening Justin Bieber....

[2christian23]

@Zlatkovitz Given the fact it has so many views and likes... I wouldn't worry toooo much about us silent folks.

[saadk88]

@Zlatkovitz you're not counting the comments :)

[Zlatkovitz]

@saadk88 true, but how difficult is to hit the Like button if you truly like a video?

[isitgettinheavy]

@Zlatkovitz Besides proving to everyone you know how to use a calculator....what's your point?

[Zlatkovitz]

@isitgettinheavy actually I didn't use a calculator. what else?

[LauraBode731]

@Zlatkovitz you should use consistent significant figures

[Seim0hn]

@Zlatkovitz when the video was released, there was no "like" button, so your calculation is wrong!

[ampegify]

@Zlatkovitz Yeeah, you're right. It's totally important for an artist like Beirut that random people click on the "Thumbs up" symbol on Youtube... Maan, you got the system!

[Valdermarijslav1]

@Zlatkovitz Rest of us enjoy music and don't bother to click those silly buttons...

[TheGhostInYourMind]

@Zlatkovitz Not everyone has is own youtube account and when you see it twice you can't click twice the like bottom, so here you have a great part of the 99.66%

[Nuria893]

49 people dosn't know how to play amazing music while walking down the stairs

[waffletoss]

49 people are tremendous faggots, and that is perfectly okay.

[kentd14109847]

Awesome song! :)

[Je0591]

Artista simples, arte exuberante.

[flh618]

the spanish version is pretty cool also

[sheshosha]

@flh618 do I just search for "Nantes in Spanish"??

[flh618]

cool



[taylr4516]

i wish i could play the shell as well as he does.

[ThalesMoreira]

for those who enjoyed that version, there's a great remake out there. search for: oração . a banda mais bonita da cidade (c/ leo fressato)

[LucaBoulders]

This might be the coolest thing I've ever seen

[tomwodi2]

hrvatski?

[MrPiper77]

He sounds like Antony from antony and the johnsons.....

[J4ckith]

There's never a band waiting for me whenever I walk down a flight of stairs singing and holding a seashell :( I always get escorted from the building.

Maybe I need to try harder at being Zach Condon...

[elenizath]

i love this videos made of excellent simplicity!!!!!

[kehrschaufel]

[martulibera1]

[Sofiaaargh]

[scottbrianmason]

The concept of this video is absolutely amazing!! Totally wish I'd thought of it!!!

[Memory717]

@scottbrianmason could you explain it to me, please?

[BrasucaSilva]

Que triste! Pensava que o clipe da música "Oração" era super original, mas na verdade é uma adaptação deste..

[Anatolianspirit]

Bravo!

[SunnySkateDay]

You know the only thing that would make this song better? 0:56

[slmtutorials]

@TheLyricsAndMe oh go and die. stop trying to sound cool by listing all the standard hipster bands you unimaginative fuck.

[TheLyricsAndMe]

@slmtutorials....wwoaahh....th­ere is no such thing as standered hipster bands you dumb fuck....you need to go fall in a whole...i will dig it for u since im suck a nice motherfucka!! some body has some insecurity issues....and im about to make them much worse you stupid bitch....

[kiwiifalling]

@TheLyricsAndMe and exactly zero shits were given that day

[TheLyricsAndMe]

@kiwiifalling dont you guys have anything better to do then comment on other peoples posts on fuckin youtube?? if u dont like what i have to say...then grow up...and stop caring...your like fuckin 20 years old...dont you have a fuckin job or something?? lmfao!

[kiwiifalling]

@TheLyricsAndMe i'm not sure how long it takes you, but it takes me about five seconds to type something, so it doesn't really cost me any effort. 

[TheLyricsAndMe]

@kiwiifalling.. wow, point is im 14 and ur like 20...that says something within its self...ur so funny : )

[kiwiifalling]

@TheLyricsAndMe so hopefully you're wiser now and will restrain yourself from making lol-worthy and pretentious comments in the future. welcome to growing up!

[TheLyricsAndMe]

@kiwiifalling ... how in any way will this ludicrous conversation make me more wise in any way shape or form.....this is pointless, im done...

[doraknop]

I’m in love.

[Johnossyy]

[petra7801]

[AlyonaJ]

[edlothion]

[yeah0078]

[flyingeye108]

[robadorable]

ABSOLOUDLY BRILLIANT

[lualeni69]

his beautiful, sad voice...

[stevesch1980]

Ein so einfaches, wie auch geniales Video. Über den Song muss man nichts sagen. Der ist über jeden Zweifel erhaben.

[MrLambanomai]

If you wanted to know the sound of heaven, well, it sounds kinda like this.

[3SkatingLibras]

How is it tha so many wisdom, both musical and life related, come out of someone so young? I'm amazed. Shocked... I say.

Beautiful!

[namensinddochschallu]

überragend!!!

[destroythemonster]

I've been putting this song on for each significant time in my life for the past 4 years now and will continue to do so til the day I die :)

[gh1Mikie]

OH God his voice...just died!! this African girl is inlove...votre voix fait l'amour à mes oreilles

[alaalespaul]

Beiber disliked this 44 times!!!

[Olidude13]

44 people have a different taste in music, and that's ok

[stratisclouds]

@Olidude13 they all seem to agree lol

[deathviktor]

@Olidude13 this is the best comment what i read in youtube!

[smh10583]

44 dislikes. 44 people chose the wrong thing.

[InfiniteHoliday]

[TheThieu1]

[martinmcdarren]

grabbing souls...

[MrFabook]

So good.



[peoplepower75]

3 minutes and 54 seconds of my life i will never get back.....

[23moonboy23]

@peoplepower75 3 minutes and 54 seconds of your life you never took the time to understand

[peoplepower75]

@23moonboy23 ...What did i misunderstand? I gave 3 mins and 54 seconds trying to understand and then another 3 mins and 54 seconds looking for some paracetamol....Balkan Brass, Parisian Pop and three part Ukele orchestrations played on out of tune broken down instruments doesnt arouse me but everyone to their own.....thank God for individuality right?....

[missmarionk]

@peoplepower75 you didn't have to sit and listen for 3 minutes and 54 seconds if you didn't find it interesting.

[peoplepower75]

@missmarionk ....no alas i must sit all the time because of a leaky bowel......prrrrum pa pum pum

[missmarionk]

@peoplepower75 Ok. But you don't have to explain yourself to me. Anyway...

[peoplepower75]

@missmarionk ....anyway my little moon beam ....i never give explanations friends dont need me to and my enemies would never believe me....deep joy and happiness to you

[missmarionk]

@peoplepower75 In fact, thank you.

[Salu1999]

I've really fallen in love with their site-specific performances. This one is the most clever and dramatic!

[xime9v1]

<3 

[ValezZuki]

Zach es un maldito genio y lo amo

[MafferMerrick]

@ValezZuki damn totally

[seccajones]

Sorry guys, but I have to say their gigs are not "enough" . Yeasterday I have attend for the second time at a concert of them. I will never do it again. I don't wanna waste the love I feel for them. I will continue to excite myself listening their music on my Ipod.

[exrazor1]

@seccajones i'm really sad for you man. to me they were pure bliss, i'm still intoxicated

[13Klevis]

I saw them yesterday. Fucking amazing.

[happyending86]

[zorancardamljanovic]

prelepo... perfektno

amerikanac bolje kapira evropsku muziku od zvanicnog djubreta koje se moze cuti na evrovizijama...

jos jednom se pokazuje da je prava muzika daleko od televizije, izdavackih kuca i novca...

[archmagic17a]

@zorancardamljanovic agreed

[SunnyShine43]

@zorancardamljanovic Don't even know what the fuck that said, but thumbs up!

[myemptybedroom]

[MrFernandalost]

[rafalimpim]

[seszeen]

[bellintane]

La résonance d'un homme dans le son cosmique. J'entends le bruit du mouvement des planètes, l'expansion de l'univers, le bruit de fond, le scintillement des étoiles, la boussole de l'éternité.

[bellintane]

pulchra!!

[weldorn]

so fucking genius, 1000 thumbs up

[baulch1985]

[amiqomichele]

non potevo solo mettere mi piace, dovevo anche commentare, ma non ho parole, sul serio.

[vacadefogo]

life has to be a song like this

[orchidsandpearls]

Simply an amazing voice

[SpongeClair]

@stiggyh He's actually married, to a girl, for clarification, Stupid comment is stupid.

[SpongeClair]

@stiggyh Yes, but that isn't the primary definition. And unless you;ve been hiding under a rock for the last 30 years, you should know that. Next time maybe use glad.

[stiggyh]

@SpongeClair he has a glad voice ;)

[Genarolls]

amazing.

[azzlackization]

best

[Loomeria]

The accordion player is brilliant, I've seen him in multiple videos, and he always reminds me of The Book Thief.

[Rosebud2345]

Great song, enchanting approach to performing it. Vincent Moon's Take Away Shows are pure genius.

[Rosebud2345]

Great song, enchanting approch to performing it. Vincent Moon's Take Away Shows are pure genius.

[TheZochor]

It's like that vid of Arcade Fire playing in an elevator, if you like this video of Beirut, I recommend Arcade Fire!

[nojstradamus]
