[LauraBHH]

[420treesburning]

I can't stop myself from listening to this song over and over. Damn, I want a ukulele for my birthday now!

[verypathetic]

didn't realize it was possible for my ears to have sex with a song.....

[jman12868]

I notice something new every time I watch this video.

[dipa86]

pictures in the video are not from italy, it doesn't make sense

[rosemarydragon]

why cant i respond to this text? Is it because Im daft and a Londoner? FUDGE WOULÑD HAVE THOIUGHT THAT WAS A BIT UNIQUE. ok small finger in whatever places and yer all hate gals. Great we have a great? topic to talk about, Is Gay and Happy The Way to go, Or should THE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!!! DO SOMETHING IN RUSSIA AND DEMAND A RECOUNT?????

[rosemarydragon]

@rosemarydragon Just putting in a sensible comment after the totally insane one, that I don't really remember doing. Almaharel, I am so sorry. I must have been tired that night! Love the tune and love everybody and am really ashamed of my mental ramblings!

[rosemarydragon]

Amazing music and amazing video, what more could we ask for? OK there are other things lol!

[talk2ulaterbye]

<3

[funkyjuice89]

one of my favorite songs and music videos ever. makes me think of the important people in my life and brings back memories.

[rafajuaniito]

@Jmlucero2 thanks! I still listen this!

[rafajuaniito]

This music makes me cry now, Because I was thinking in all my friends, my family and everybody who I dont see a long time ago...thinking in my good moments and all the moments that I had in my life...sorry about my inglish.



[jmlucero2]

@rafajuaniito don't worry your english is fine and i feel that way too- i get nostalgic!

[opticalcreative]

he sings directly to my heart, as i sit here, as i listen, as i fell connected to something much greater as if his words are holding me contempt and i think about nothing but the good times in life as he plays his song

[hearseluver16]

My sister's exit song at her wedding was this... I met one of my best friends there..... to this day when ever I'm upset he plays this for me and says he won't ever leave me. Too bad he's moving to Las Vegas.... so much for that...

[dantheboarder]

Reminds me of summer when me and all my friends had no responsibility

[alejandrov12]

this video makes me wanna live life like redrum said.. it makes me want to go back to Spain, and be with my friends and culture and family, makes me want to go and visit each one of my friends that i have meet around the world, you can hear the European and Mexican culture in this song. one of the best songs i have ever heard in my life.

it makes you think how wonderful is life and that you want to live it for the rest of your life

[RedrumRedrumRedrum16]

This video.. makes me wanna... live life

[tkdowney]

@RedrumRedrumRedrum16

I could not agree more

[ainismerry]

60 people haven't received any postcard from italy.

[quacktalker]

1:34 that dog is beast

[maaskeimorgen]

It's not condom xD It's with an N, not m! :P silly indeed... Not fun at all. I know :/

[esharp211]

Beautiful song. Does anybody know what type of camera this is likely to have been filmed with? Thanks :)

[zebrazhao]

fucking beautiful.

[Xekify]

His name is Zach Condon, guys.

[floosybow]

Think i had a tear in my eye when they played this in Hyde yesterday,they got an amazing reception,That Day Was Mine :))

[x0xRuthx0x]

To the guy that ruined this song for me forever; you're a cunt.

[LoveKlaineGlee]

I really think this is beautiful. I know this is going to sound cliche but it reminds of a simpler time and how I wish the world could just stop looking for that one special thing and take a look at what is right in front of you. Love.

[ibrahimus1]

one of the horns sounds like him humming 2:55

[missfanpire612]

@ibrahimus1 it dose, doesn't it

[ILgInnnn]

john connor



[LaHatterFan]

Zach Condon and Beirut just make something happen in my heart area that makes me inexplicably happy, thanks so much for the music and the love.

[agahonzjele]

57 peoples did not live at the 1980 time.

Ahh, The beautyfull and peacefull golden days...

[joseluisrl]

this song makes  me cry damn it ! ...

[sukini3]

why must my favorite song of his have to be about his wife? doesnt he know i am in love with him? taunting,taunting

[JimmyD3766]

I absolutely love the part at 2:03

[Mehlwurm18]

Zack Condom? Zack Condon? Jack Condor?

[UserRED13]

I think Fryersmuck is trolling.

[youmoko]

hahahahahahaha your kidding me his last names condom?!

[themadhurt]

@youmoko I believe it's condon

[youmoko]

@themadhurt oh okay sorry bout that

[MrSweetlife92]

I want to ask.. why did they name their band Beirut? thanx :)

[sometart]

This is beautiful. Really, really beautiful.

[claudiimager]

cool, but the florence&machine cover is also real good!

[zuleikaaa]

I am in love with this song. I listen to this and think of the one I love. Absolutely beautiful.

[esandy311]

i wish they would tour more. i would love to see them live.

[themadhurt]

@esandy311 They are touring this summer!

[gianni1603]

beatiful

[MereLava]

Esclusivamente bellissima...

[pearlmode]

I simply ADORE this song. And the video is just perfect. I don't know how but it is just like I imagined it would be. Warm, blurry, personal, nostalgic and makes me sad&happy at the same time.

[oscaru2110]

I don't know how people push the negative buttom on songs like this!

Postcards from Italy it's one of best song I've ever heard in my life!!!!

[bc102319]

58 people listen to The Black Eyed Peas

[TheRobbywolf]

i love this song.

[CAMIKC01]

Gracias a Dios no todo es Lady Ca-Ca y Justin B. Viva Beirut!!!

[letslennon]

So beautiful.

[monroekissedme]

zach condon pushes the limits of my heterosexuality.

[maazahm12]

0:57 is probably the coolest thing EVAAAR!!!

[pawn12345678]

58 dislikes, are you kidding me!!! Best song ever

[Numo1697]

this music changes your life, in many senses...

Actually, this changed my life.

[themadhurt]

@Numo1697 Changed mine too. Very rare when one song can do that for me. Thank god for music. Impossible to survive without it.

[Aglenaa]

Is one of those ladies Zach Condon's wife?

Is Zach Condon married? I heard he is.

Boohoo.

D':

Beautiful video, in any case. And coupled with one of the most lovely songs I've ever heard.

[BeastCars18]

Best music video I've ever seen along with such beautiful song it really moves you.

[rosemarydragon]

This amazing tune was recommended by a friend.- I havnt played it in a while and it is on my favs playlist and here I am. It is so good . Not really much else to say about such a great band except how great the video is. Oh yep it always reminds me of writing holiday postcards, how tedious they are to do!

[panlancho]

MAny thanks to these musicians!!! Their music kills my depression!

[ninipouilledespagne]

It sounds good on the Xmas day

[hobojon23]

Honestly, Beirut should keep doing this for as long as they physically can, I have heard music with no greater talent or feeling then I have with their music.

[Fryersmuck]

I love this song and I am So thankful To Jack Condor and his Irish band For Giving Me so much happiness!!!

I went to Italy many years ago and really enjoyed my Experience but This song fills me with Much Regret because when When I was there I Never Sent any Postcards!!!

Its True what My granny told me the mistakes of our youth Will return to haunt us in Latter days!!!

It wasn't long after she told me that Profound statement that she was Arrested for Benefit fraud!!!

Poor Granny!!!

[loversinjapan3]

@Fryersmuck zach condon

[WarCheiftan1]

@Fryersmuck His name is Zach Condon and his band isn't Irish, wow you are retarded...

[zake890]

@Fryersmuck jack condor, irish band, this is too silly. oh my goodness, laughing for days.

[rosemarydragon]

@zake890 Zake where was Fryersmuck comment that you answered him? I haven't seen him for ages and thought he had stopped logging into YouTube.

[winniwaikiki]

The best music to wakeup to :)

[Fryersmuck]

There is no need to wake me from my Slumber!!!

I am wrapped up In a Beautiful Place!!!

Thankyou Beruit I have Features but as of yet No face!!!

[themadhurt]

This song makes me feel something i cant explain. When you are rendered speachless, that is how you know you have found true music.

[magoulianitissa]

Just beautiful, music, lyrics and video, I love it!

[andres889]

Little demon at 1:22

[ZetaFox]

When everything else drops, and it's just the ukulele at the end, it takes me somewhere. It's so sad, but so beautiful. It bleeds distance, like it's coming to you on the wind.  It's timeless. It's memory.

[zerhoassoluto]

Poor Zach, he fell down and hurted his back.

[Fryersmuck]

I think Zach Condom Is One Of the Most talented People around at the Moment.

He makes music that take you to Places that you wouldn't Usually go.

I wish I was born In Mexico next door to His Parents.

I can imagine Us Growing Up Skimming Stones and Catching butterflies.

But I am much older than Him so even If I did Live next door I would Probably find him annoying and Keep telling him to Quieten his Infernal Racket.

That wouldn't Endear myself to him I am Thinking.

[lguard73]

@Fryersmuck It's Condon.

[rosemarydragon]

@Fryersmuck I dont know what to praise the most, the tune or your comment! Well both are great, music is wonderful comment is a bit poetic. I would play skimming stones and catching flutterbies with you Fryers, but I am a bit weird!

[ggriggles]

@Fryersmuck ...........Condon*

[EightCorruption]

@Fryersmuck true dat  and you said condom instead of condon lol

[EinEdward]

@Fryersmuck creep

[ElleMarie2]

@Fryersmuck its Condon lol. but definitely agreed!

[LaHatterFan]

@Fryersmuck Condom? really??

[Emilyexists]

@Fryersmuck Why do people capitalize so many words? God it bothers me. Also.. Zach Condom? He is not a condom.

[ismirdechtwurscht]

@Fryersmuck condon 

[braddo85]

@Fryersmuck grammar

[sheepnote]

@Fryersmuck ... He's from New Mexico, not Mexico. Shut your hipster face and stop trying to be artsy.

[thegreatstephano]

@sheepnote lololol thank you for that

[iAMaPOTTERdork]

@Fryersmuck hehehe condom.

[Fryersmuck]

Isn't It amazing when a Song comes along that Is so Good it makes you Cry like a Baby.

I Cried so much last Tuesday My eyes swelled up and all my Workmates thought my Mother had died.

But She doesn't Like this band She Prefers Hip Hop.

[Almondania]

@Fryersmuck What's wrong with hip-hop and rap? Beirut is my favorite band but I still listen to hip-hop daily. I like the odd mix of them during my day.

[kaiserschon]

@Fryersmuck nos she sucks, bro. No offense, but...

[lambpry]

I love, love, love this video. His family, my family, time passing....the faces are interchangeable, but the meaning and music are forever.

[wasernot]

My boyfriend always sings this song

and I love it to death

[bubu84pl]

4 minutes of sun, happiness and memories :)

[MrDannyDanone]

great music. great music. great band.

[Pallapakology]

@alejandromartinezism I know. I corrected my self a couple of messages back :)

[MsKenpa]

[klopmn]

So wonderful people can give birth to such melodies.. Blessed we are.. We travel to our dreams just with sounds..

[gianni1603]

[gajahkayuu]

[thevampirefrog06]

The woman at 2:29 looks like my grandmother. I know she isn't, but it's kind of funny.

[Fryersmuck]

Its started Raining but I am not getting Wet.

Who needs ladders when a Song like this comes along and raises Souls.

How lucky are we to be able to appreciate this Beautiful Sunset.

So glad I Gatecrashed this Particular Party.

[SkyAanger201]

[2fromdust]

BEIRUT = MUSIC GODS

[SaveTreleni]

εξαιρετικοί!

[Gr1Ng00]

[mafe139]

This song is just perfect!

[MadHatter3Z3]

Beautiful song and video. And that penguin going down the slide was epic XD...

[scarylegodudes]

Seeing these guys tonight at Eastbourne!

[johnnysmo100]

i just finished a song with trumpets and then heard this today....very similar sounding trumpets, MOTIF possibly???

[rekhapflyuk]

I love this song.. and the music. Take me away to a different place... far away!!

[lovelyrita64]

this is going to be my wedding song. i love you beirut

[richardthemanhughes]

When they played this song at Greean Festival on Friday night I remember thinking just how beautiful that trumpet section is. The rain was coming down hard, and the light was dancing between it. And the ukelele riff...

A moment I won't forget for a long time.

[AlexisGrunge]

Never in my life have I ever found a song as beautiful as this one. I absolutely love these guys and really hope they can be heard by more people because they deserve it.

[AlexisGrunge]

This song is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. And this music video makes me feel like I'm watching my own home videos and it just feels so real and so beautiful.

[karakamen]

I wanted to listen to the song, but the video blew me away! So subtle!

[woodyallenmepone]

I love this... So vintage :D

[calypsotwenty]

All the lyric sites say he sings "she will marry me outside, with the willow trees", but I can't hear anything but " she abandoned me outside", more melancholy but I prefer it, does anyone know for certain

[laurenceakaspecktah]

@calypsotwenty If the video is anything to go by, it is certainly not abandonment.

[ilikegoodmusicalot]

wow i love beirut haha

[Beriut45]

This one amazing song! Way better than gay Justin beiber.

[lmtwinkle]

god i love beirut. their music reminds me old bosnian folk songs that i grew up with. it's so nice to listen to new music that respects old traditions.

[Dozvoz]

@lmtwinkle yes, he was inspired by traditional folk music wasn't he? Wikipedia cheking ftw :) I love it too

[hedifolder]

esse som é tão perfeito que simplismente não consigo escuta-lo alto pois eu tenho a nitida sensação que ele entre pelos meus poros e me leva a um estado incompreensivél de nostalgia é uma mistura sincera de sensações inexplicaveis!!!

esse som e mágico.

[momofsprout]

This reminds me of Aaron and his childhood -- happiness! So lovingly rendered. I want to live in this video.

[thebrad25]

My fave part of the song is at 2:03 onwards, the music just throws me back to my childhood I don't know why. Such a beautiful song.

[aKiElDaCeR]

somehow that song remains me hoppipolla from sigur ros!!!

[mbrandomlee]

manda mto bem

[letslennon]

Minha canção preferida *-*

Beirut ♥

[fprostudios]

Nostalgia. Appropriate for the mood of the song. Emotionally Stirring. Effective. 8.2 Needs more sex.

[piihpopsicle99]

i love this song.

[roboto7atomic]

sooooo beautiful.

[MrMahlerman]

I love their sound. It makes me feel like I didn't get enough happiness in my life, but there was beauty nonetheless. And beauty is as great as happiness.

[JessicaFreefall]

2:00 is that a man putting his head is a killer whale's mouth ? o_o

[keesurt]

wone of the best bands ever, but why did someone give a mauser to a baby?

[soco2722]

@stfcgrey: I'm not quite sure what you are saying, but I feel obligated to point out that your comment seems to directly oppose, not support, TIM's post. To regard as the truth such stereotypes is both unfair & an impediment to any cross-border solidarity. I travel to the US often & I find each time many truly lovely and educated people; & I certainly don't think that you can make such a claim about my own country, either.

I realise this post sounds preach-y (sorry!), but I hope I made my point

[stfcgrey]

tim, i feel sorry for you...i'm english...i recognise america for what it is....90% insular. non accepting racist (southern) morons, capatalist....where/wh??at is europe? knobheads...youand the other non-hick 10% are the beautiful american exception..i am british and i am vilified for the place that i live in because we ruled the world before you guys. and i am one of the 10 % too. we love america but only the 10% that know the score.... thank you for shy child

[molock360]

i love my family i love beirut :(((((((

[jmariemo]

This song makes me cry not because of sadness but because of happiness. The purest form...:)

[Omfgays]

@jmariemo me too

[MegaAimee28]

do they ever come to america??? they should!

[megamurli]

@MegaAimee28 they are american ;)

[MegaAimee28]

@megamurli Nu uh, why are they always in Italy

[daviabramovitch]

Estou gostando... tem algo de nostalgico... eu gosto

[pckluzzz]

Beirut is the best, beirut makes me smile, beirut makes me happy, zach is a genious

[madrat94]

when I listen to this song I can't stop smiling and dancing and I don't care about anything but this music... Beirut is the music.

[chensinging]

And I will love to see that day

That day is mine

When she will marry me outside with the willow trees

And play the songs we made

They made me so

And I would love to see that day

Her day was mine

[chensinging]

The times we had/Oh, when the wind would blow with rain and snow Were not all bad We put our feet just where they had, had to go Never to go The shattered soul Following close but nearly twice as slow In my good times There were always golden rocks to throw at those who admit defeat too late Those were our times, those were our times

[alkazaryyy]

thumbs up everyone who started playin the trumpet because of beirut

[DannyCarmeli]

@alkazaryyy You know Zach Condon plays the Flugelhorn, right?

[silverghozt]

this is just the greatest song and video ever. makes me feel all nostalgic and get the chills. it's just so great.

[Pallapakology]

As a European it is fun to see European music become famous like this. Eastern European musictraditions have long been praised in Europe, so it's good it crosses the borders.

Zach Gordon is great because he was inspired by something and then mixed it with something he knew, making this music truly unique and wonderful.

[rivervolga]

@Pallapakology its zach condon, not gordon

[Pallapakology]

@Pallapakology Zach Condon, of course

[dhcrazy333]

@Pallapakology I think you mean Zach Condon :)

[lesjeunes11]

@Pallapakology who's Zach Gordon? Lead singer from Beirut is Zach Condon
