Postcards from Italy -- Beirut cover

[PurplePirateHat]

Wow absolutely amazing! I love it!

[alanm171]

AWESOME!

[Philthehappykitty]

This is perfect.

[kamael7]

Very nice cover

[TheSoddenPine]

What jerks... How's dance company supposed to follow that?

[catASHtrophe168]

I opened this in a new tab. And for a while, I really thought it was Zach singing with the whole band. That is really, saying something. Keep it up guys!

[afererer]

Best cover of all times. Brazil here.

[KadlecSvk]

i can't understand how the singer can play the rhythm and sing at once! thats reaaally hard!

[brandnewhate01]

this video oughta have more views. You have a really great voice and the trumpet/ukelele is great! I hope you guys continue to pursue music

[mirkow76]

Awesome.

[milevaaa]

marry me?

[brandnewhate01]

@milevaaa I was seriously going to post the same thing.

[MiguelBarbosaDR]

very, very well!!

[tamilazzara]

Best cover on youtube

[VinniciusCedraz]

[Seraphtron]

This is one of my favorite Beirut songs...and it was executed very well!! Quite enjoyed it :)

[GroinDestroyer]

Best cover so far, amazing vocals!

[elaiao]

fuckin awsome!!!!!!! all of you!!!

[TheTheJPShow]

Is it possible you guys can do a tutorial on the trumpet part?? Please i already pretty much know the ukulele part, but if the guy or some other guy can do a tutorial on the trumpet that would be just awesome! Please please consider, i need to learn it! =D

[MegumiTangerine]

Have you considered covering any other Beirut songs? You should do Scenic World or Elephant Gun or Transatlantique or something.

[xcotton]

i feel like his version is better,

[JimmyRansom]

awesome mate

[plasticinemonster]

Dude well done, I was not expecting this so be a good cover but you pulled it off, congrats man. :) really nice

[joanalourencomusic]

very good!

[rmd525]

the tamborine guy is just rocking out. haha. nice vocals. it seems like it'd be tough to sing like that and play drums. i know i'd never be able to do it.

[JSCWhistler]

VERY nice! I'm glad to see someone covering this and actually doing it some justice!

[leelleyah]

You guys are legit. I wish I was this cool in high school :)

[IsabellePop]

Gorgeous voice, perfect song

[spinnact]

fucking sick. those dancers had a tough act to follow

[stifledbabsie]

That was amazing!

[goshenbassvideo]

This was so awesome. I agree with Mike, lets doowit again

[funkaxe99]

This was fun, let's do it again.

[randomllama2]

I really want to do this, but I can't find the trumpet sheet music. I could probably figure it out myself though. My only real problem is lack of percussionists. :/

[TheTheJPShow]

@randomllama2 any luck on trumpet sheet music?

[Beder7913]

Your voice sounds very similar to Zach's and it's really damn beautiful!

[Fr33Y0urM1nd1]

Perfect...

[samanthahaha94]

:::::::::DDDDDD

[Ksjunn2o9b]

wow you guys were amazing. i bet you all had so much fun performing that. i wish i could have done something like that for my senior solo, but no one in my high school would get together and do something like that. you're all so talented! awesome.

[bngrsnmash]

This was reallly good. Nice job!

[TheyLostEyes]

I can't stop watching this video. It's perfect.

You guys should do some more together. You're really talented.

[Norskyone]

This cover is awesome!

[TheBlahZine]

So so good! Your voice is so perfect for a Beirut cover. You should be proud.

[realpeople1971]

good job guys... 9.0 :D

[haydatzmii]

excellent arrangement. :)

[TheyLostEyes]

very very good cover xD

[Cotonetigyn]

hey,man! very cool! the beat is faster,but really good! congratulations! :D

[peskasker]

i don't know why everyone is complaining about the faster tempo...zach condon always plays this piece faster during his live shows.

can anyone let me know what type of hand drum the singer is using and if beirut makes use of it in any other songs?

thanks

[angelomcculloch]

That drum is a Djembe.

[peskasker]

Thanks man, I'm currently shopping for one.

[kokiriforest]

ah, so great! really really good cover, guys.

[Starbuckscp]

impressive.

[jaelisa369]

wow. very cool.

[shooter0404]

well done.....well done

[DestroyerXD]

Near to perfect cover. Just a little too upbeat. But I still love it. Added on my favorites the minute I saw it.

Much respect from Seattle, WA, ^_^

[starway125]

that's one of the best covers i've heard too! the singer have a wonderful voice :)

it was really great, congratulations for all!

[DubstepAndy]

lovely... absolutely lovely. It's just a bit annoying that the tempo is faster. And there's more emphasis on the drums in the original.. I don't know if you understand but the reggae/dub drums.. but definitely 5/5

[rupertacdc]

i like the guy with the tambourine :)

[Zachism]

This is amazing, minus my OCD for the tempo being a little faster haha

[fatinazalea2]

you have a great voice

[Zygiro]

Holy fuck that was great. thought it was condon's voice for the first minute.

[flowers4563]

this is so perfect,

great,great cover.

quite inspiring i'd say :)

well done guysss, x

[kasiuu]

wow! ładnie! :)

[EvilWhiteRanger]

In their defense, the end theme should have been played with an additional trumpet played by Zach. They only have two wind instruments here. And part of what makes that part epic too is the addition of the drums which they have here but it wasn't quite audible in the video. But I agree, this is a very good cover!

[kiffo10]

whoa, impressive

[trum7pet]

can I have the transcription for the trumpet?!

[andyh120]

i'm not sure if i have them or not. i'll look though and let you know!

[TheTheJPShow]

@andyh120 Do you have them now?? Please tell mE =D

[farfreeindependent]

@andyh120 Can I have them, too, please?! (I mean: I'm just trying to write them by ear, but the rhythm is pretty hard to fix). Very good cover, by the way!!!:-)

[heyheyitsmj]

FANTASTIC! You're just as good as Zach, maybe even better in some ways.

[elgoodo5]

perfect!

[cowabungaaaaa]

Beautiful.

[soundwrks]

Great stuff!

[Scribe155]

[piratpojken]

[melhebs]

wow, this is amazing

[TheAmbulanceX]

Pretty fucking amazing dude.

[az5625]

great playing! but one of the trumpets was slurring and scooping too much, so it deffinately could be better if you worked out those kinks. but damn!! that was a great rendition of it tho, little mistakes aside.

[quantum52]

im really impressed thumbs up

[ba88switzer]

wowsers, that was nice.

A+ for getting people together to play Beirut music! hahaa

[xflashahh]

normally, i'm completely against beirut covers because no one can ever do them justice and i thought everyone should just stop trying.

but this was really quite phenomenal. absolutely fantastic job.

[spidervagner]

very good.

[Habotch]

Fucking amazing, so perfect, sounded exactly like Beirut.

[adjectiveanimal]

i can't believe anybody else bothered to perform after this.

[moviesandmusicBE]

i really enjoyed watching this!

[RobertMullz]

well done, liking the trumpets

[tarnicfilms]

Wow! I loved the trumpets, and your voice was so amazing!!!

My only quip was that the main trumpeteer was a bit out of tune from the rest of the group when he played up in his range. I would have loved to have been there live!

[siudymeczek]

na prawdę dobre... moje gratulacje, zwłaszcza dla wokalisty (świetny głos) :)

[justramental]

this is quite amazing you have a great voice

Beirut is my favorite band and that is a great cover

If not it's just spooky, amazing vocals, brass is just sweet as bovarian ale and mr tambourine man and uke guy rocking the big guns. Any chance you can send me this on mp3 I love it brilliant work! do more

There is a cello player, he's to the left of the guy with the uke, but he doesn't show until the end of the song.

[ba88switzer]
