[cigarsandgloves]

Gives me goosebumps! What amazing vocals from both of them.

[alenasouza]

Oh my god! That's very very nice. Loved it! It's Awesome!!!!!

[tolu9]

@alenasouza yayyy :)

[mazzZificashun]

oh my fucking god. I love you with all my heart, I've been timing those two to listen to them at the same time , thank fuck for you and your wonderfulness!

[tolu9]

@mazzZificashun goodness! haha glad you like it. you can email me at totolulu2004(at)yahoo.com if you'd like the mp3 :)

[cigarsandgloves]

Amazing haunting I love both versions separately but together...something special!

[tolu9]

@cigarsandgloves :)

[isomanatees]

Okay, I know this is going to be an unpopular comment... but I think it's kind of weird. Florence's notes are too short..

[tolu9]

@isomanatees haha thanks for the input, despite the possible unpopularity. do you like the mixing of the voices aside from the shortness of her notes?

[SiobhanEdelweiss]

Is it possible to download this?

[tolu9]

@SiobhanEdelweiss i don't have a download link set up, but you an email me at totolulu2004 (at) yahoo.com and i'll send the mp3 as an attachment. just make the subject something about Postcards from Italy :)

thanks for listening!

[KatieTLAT]

I don't understand how this doesn't have more views. This is the most incredible song I've ever heard and it's a mash up? Holeeeeee Shit

[tolu9]

@KatieTLAT Just the combination of two great versions :) Glad you like it!

[gleneth00]

man i just started doing my own, shame someone else has already, its good tho you matched up the tempos well. good job

[tolu9]

@gleneth00 hey haha. yeah i searched on youtube before i made mine to make sure it hadn't already been done. i hope you feel inspired to mix something else, though :) and thanks for listening!

the tempos were already pretty close, actually. i wonder if Florence actually made sure of that or if just happened...

[iluvatarpt]

Who is the only sad guy that doesn't like this????? F** Awesome :)

[babaclontz]

I really didn't think it was going to be this good. Awesome

[tolu9]

@babaclontz neither did i ;) haha thanks for listening!

[saripeich100]

god!!!! this is freaking good!!!!!

[Zeekers392]

I'd love to see Florence and Zach sing Elephant gun together or carousels.

[tolu9]

@Zeekers392 i'd love to see them sing anything together haha :)

[tolu9]

[cortidottir92]

amazing!!! love it!!!

[tolu9]

@cortidottir92 awesome! thanks for listening :)

[shespah]

I'm going to have to favourite this :D I discovered the song from Florence's cover on her Demos, and even though I couldn't really understand the words, the melody is beautiful. Eventually I learnt the words, loved it more, and just recently I watched the original video, and realised how brilliant that is too :D The instruments on the original are so sharp and joyous. Thank you so much for blending them, it's in every sense of the word - amazing :D

[tolu9]

@shespah i really appreciate that! and i totally agree about the music. i can't remember which version i heard first, but i love both of them for different reasons :) thanks for listening

[Lovebites2014]

@tolu9 anyway to dowload or buy?

[tolu9]

@Lovebites2014 no, but you can email me at totolulu2004(at)yahoo(dot)com and i can send it to you as an attachment :) just make the subject "Postcards from Italy" or something!

[XguitarrockerX]

Florence and Zach most definitely must do a collab, at least for this song! Great job mashing this up!

[tolu9]

@XguitarrockerX haha yeah that'd be awesome :) i wish i could get either of them to listen to this! and thanks for listening :D

[FancyStarbucksOrder]

This is absolutely genius. Thank you for making my day! ;)

[tolu9]

@FancyStarbucksOrder awesome :D glad you like it!

[ArtichokesHvH3art]

[tolu9]

@ArtichokesHvH3art hmm i never really thought of mixing other songs of theirs. but i'll look into it :)

[Nicolletteism]

once again, flo's voice is jz breathtaking...

[tolu9]

@Nicolletteism yep :) thanks for watching!

[Nicolletteism]

@tolu9 it sounded like they're doing a collaboration......and it's even better than the separated versions....haha...

[tolu9]

@Nicolletteism haha yeah, ever since i made this, i haven't been able to listen to either of them separately :P

[Nicolletteism]

@tolu9 yeah, i prefer the duet kind of version...haha....and everytime i listen to flo's version...it's hard not to imagine beirut's voice in it..haha.....

[TheLeatherJacket]

Finally a mashup which honours both the artists! <3 I absolutely love this mashup!

I saw something about mp3-files in previous comments, is it possible to get this? ^__^

[tolu9]

@TheLeatherJacket glad you like it! and yeah, you can message me your email address and i could send it to you. or you can use this site called dirpy.com that rips the audio off of youtube videos. i hadn't heard of it before until i saw people had used it to get this song haha.

[Jonaszz]

I dont know the originals but I like this one :)

[tolu9]

@Jonaszz haha. you'd probably like the originals, then :) glad you like it.

@FreakyUnicorn haha glad you enjoy it :)

[alirussell111]

:-)

[tolu9]

@alirussell111 :D

[mramywinehouse]

This is just brilliant. I liked the bigger instrumentation on the original, but I loved Florence's vocals. Simply beautiful and inspired idea. And so well done too

[tolu9]

@mramywinehouse haha, that's exactly why i put them together :)

thanks for listening!

[HiMyNameisFex]

this is just fantastic! you did a great job, and had a wonderful idea!

[tolu9]

@HiMyNameisFex haha thank you. glad you enjoyeddd :)

[tolu9]

@ocockta thanks for the favorite!

[ArtichokesHvH3art]

O my goodness me... i think i've died and gone to heaven! This is absolutely amazing. Thank you for making this! Ahhhh- i just keep playing it over and over. I wish i could put it on my ipod or something. LOVE IT! it's perfect!

[tolu9]

@ArtichokesHvH3art haha well i'm glad you like it :) and if you really want the mp3, there's a website called dirpy.com that lets you download the mp3 off of the youtube video.

or you can keep coming here to listen :P

[ArtichokesHvH3art]

@tolu9 Thanks lucky i got it in time! it's soooo sad. dirpy's gone!!!! :( :( :(

[rareflorence]

this is incredible, do you mind if i take the mp3 and put it on my channel? i'll credit your channel in the info box for sure

[tolu9]

@rareflorence sure! by "mp3" do you mean a link to this video? or do you want the mp3 file?

[rareflorence]

@tolu9 i have a program that lets me take the mp3 off of youtube videos, so i could get it for myself... i was just wondering if i could have your permission to post it on my channel :)

so it's okay then?

[tolu9]

@rareflorence oh okay. yeah, it's okay. just don't forget to link me ;) i have some other mashups and videos up here, too

[Slat743]

This is simply amazing; my hat is off to you! This is one of my favorite songs and I Iove what you did with it. Thank you for this.

[tolu9]

@Slat743 aww yay. :D thanks

[jessicatubes]

THIS IS SO AMAZING

[tolu9]

@jessicatubes haha glad you like it :)

[Fixdal]

woooooow dude this is insane

[tolu9]

@Fixdal lol that's a good thing, right? thanks for listening :)

[Fixdal]

@tolu9 hehe yes that is good.

[tolu9]

@Fixdal awesome! glad you like it haha

[suicidalterror]

@tolu9 Seriously keep them coming what an awesome collaboration!

[tolu9]

@suicidalterror thanks! i have some others if you haven't listened already :)

[sirsparrow]

This actually redeems Florence's woeful version. Very well done. Congratulations tolu

[tolu9]

@sirsparrow haha dang "woeful" is kinda harsh :P yeah i love her voice, but the song just seems so empty with all the instrumentation.

glad you like it :)

[GuitarAndMeMusic]

one word. EPIC.

[tolu9]

@GuitarAndMeMusic bahaha thanks :)

[lottie123999]

woow sounds soo good with them together! way better than each individual. haha this song is becoming my new obsession x

[tolu9]

haha it's been my obsession since i finished it :) glad you like ittt

[tolu9]

well thank you! glad you enjoyed it :) i did the same thing with some other videos too (overlapping songs and covers) that you might like

[mars1pan]

This is so much better than both of them alone. They should really do a song together. Prefarably, this one.

[tolu9]

haha that would be awesome :) i can't listen to either version separately anymore lol

[goldiecox34]

This is superb! Is there anyway i can download it?

[tolu9]

i've been trying to reply to this for like a week! haha well i could email it to you or you could try going to dirpy(dot)com...it rips the audio off of the video, and it seems quite a few people have done that already :) and thanks!

[Mazumune]

Well done tolu9, beautiful. I wish they could duet and release this for Haiti relief. Beats the shit out of Simon Cowells crap.

[helloberczi]

I fall in love with this mashup! Beautiful balkanian music with absolutely charming voices!

[tolu9]

exactly! :) beirut and florence and the machine are so talented

[LilyBriscoe814]

Oh my god, this is definitely one of the best things I've ever heard!

I didn't like Florence's cover of this song too much before, even though I'm a HUGE fan of her (probably it's because the original is so beautiful), but this is just perfect! I really love the end, when she sings the instrumental part... so touching!

[tolu9]

haha i totally feel the same way :) thanks for listening

[KatieC613]

I love this!

Its awesome!

Great idea!

[tolu9]

hahaha thank you

[kwellskids]

nice :P

[MISSKITTINA]

I liked it!

:)

[Crazzybaby]

i love this! thanks!

[tolu9]

no problem :)
