[NozoliApples]

Hope to see y'all in the pit for this at Sasquatch!

[fourtothefloor1994]

unreal song, my new found obsession!

[iuriricardo1]

[vog2861]

[wmz94]

"Arte (do latim Ars): 1 - Capacidade que tem um ser humano de pôr em prática uma ideia, valendo-se da faculdade de domínio da matéria. 2- Atividade que supõe a criação de sensações ou de um Estado de Espírito de caráter estético e longânime..." (Dicionário Aurélio)

[TheCMorti]

Athena? :)

[tajorevista]

Si fuera joven, Volaría de esta ciudad

Enterraría mis sueños bajo tierra

Como lo hice, tomemos hasta morir, bebemos esta noche

[persefone23]

Há quem prefira a arte e há quem prefira o entretenimento.

Eu prefiro os dois, cada um a seu tempo.

[yellowsubmarinekid]

beautiful video, beautiful song.

[christgenius]

It' nostalgic because it posses a kind of bitter sweet truth.

The sublime the fuck up and the salvation that love is. This kind of dependency we have towards it but somewhat seem to be torn about it.

[JoaoAlmeida15]

there is just something very nostalgic about this song... he, I just love it

[ZimmerSquash]

if i listen to beirut and not mainstream, am i a hipster?

[terralunae]

en verdad amo esta canción!!

cuando toca el corno frente al mar wow es tan poético!!

esto es arte en toda su expresión *w*

[Netinhowebber]

O vocalista parece o ator Dalton Melo xD

[mustashcolision]

this is unlike anything I've ever heard before, this is indefineable beauty

[kaidoctor]

somewhere jeff mangum is smiling

[calanguinho123]

isso sim e arte foram os meus 4:32 melhores minutos da minha vida para quem entendeu a letra e jenial parabens beirut

[ViobigO]

I play Reirut to Assassin's Creed 2.

[rptimao]

Capituuuuuu

[teoriafalida]

coisa mais linda

[andandradetobias]

Capitu ;)

[JehFromTheJupiter]

poderia ter uma fração de like/dislike que os dislikes fossem despresíveis, né? :D

[JehFromTheJupiter]

talvez 14820/165 !

[kaidoctor]

these guys are almost as artsy as Die Antwoord... just trolling

[mscocorosie]

@kaidoctor

I love Die Antwood! <3

[ChaosLord811]

Praise to indie rock!

[Iasmeck]

Ah, Beirut...

Há Beirut!

[Isob3lsmusic]

Genius !!

[SempreBellgas]

Eu simplismente adooooro essa musica. Toda vez que ouço viajoo na melodia! MAGNIFIC

[LGMadoglio]

That magic moment when you remember that music is art, not noise.

[teddyLAKE]

At last.

Good music.

[sildicleia]

I love it!! 

[marcoSV490]

Sorprendente:

solo poesía,

solo creatividad,

ARTE puro!

[carlyann68]

what is this haha. i kind of like....

[MickVersusYou]

Yeah, I remember my first time getting drunk...

[augustofernandezr]

pedazo de gato alta banda , piky y sam

[rengaffagner]

Fuck off. There's shit everywhere, there's art everywhere. "Ai se eu pego" is ridiculous, sure. But the way you associate it with Brazil really sucks. Beirut has covered "Leãozinho" by Caetano Veloso, a different brazilian. Isn't that a better topic, for fuck's sake?!

[lucask207]

@rengaffagner Associei com o Brasil porque sou brasileiro e me envergonho desses "artistas".Os gênios brasileiros não recebem o devido reconhecimento aqui.

[rengaffagner]

@lucask207 Sim, eu entendi a idéia. Acho que só mencionar o Michel Teló me incomoda, e ficar fazendo essa associação direta com o país só torna as coisas piores...

Haha, mas enfim, odeio discutir pelo youtube, quanto mais em um vídeo do Beirut.

[lucask207]

@rengaffagner Dou-lhe a razão!

Apreciemos esses 4:31 minutos de arte sem discussões.

[ptfernandoskate]

MUSIC.

[Aisformonkey]

What is the name of this dance compagny or choreographer?

[salazeta]

@Aisformonkey anderson silva

[Aisformonkey]

@salazeta Thank you but I can't find anything about him on the internet. Do you have a link?

[MrAraujoLopes]

Beirut always put chills in my spine and tears in my eyes,

[lucask207]

Now that is ART !

Not that shit from Brazil, "Ai se eu te pego!"

Isso sim é ARTE !

Não aquela bosta do Brasil, "Ai se eu te pego!"

[Mykeehyone]

@lucask207 I agree, i luv this song!

[TheCorey555]

@lucask207 Concordo contigo, mas lembre-se que no Brasil tbm tem muitos artistas bons!

[lucask207]

@TheCorey555 Existem vários bons artistas brasileiros...Mas infelizmente nem são eles quem nos representam lá fora, nem eles recebem o devido reconhecimento nacional.Dê uma olhada na iTunes Store brasileira e verá a realidade a qual me refiro.

[alonsoafonso]

@lucask207 você é brasileiro? fala de um jeito como se não fosse....

[lucask207]

@alonsoafonso Sou do interior de São Paulo, 100km da capital...Por que a pergunta?

[SilSasaki]

@lucask207 com certeza... música é uma forma de expressão, mas também de poder. A merda é quando isso vira alienação e é utilizada até em propaganda de carro.

[misseshedlund]

@lucask207 agreed, except for the part in which you remember the whole world that Ai se eu te pego is from Brazil. Not cool man, not cool. Let's just try to pretend it never existed

[LuccasVideos]

@lucask207 O Brasil tem arte! Pessoas que cantam bem. Só que não é publicado mundialmente. Pros ignorantes o brasil só tem: minha mulher não deixa não, tche tcherêrê e ai se eu te pego. Mas antes de falar merda, pesquise sobre a cultura brasileira.

[lucask207]

@LuccasVideos Antes de falar merda conheça com quem se fala!

Em nenhum momento eu disse que o Brasil não tem arte.A minha crítica é justamente os reais artistas brasileiros não serem publicados mundialmente, e essa escolha ser feita pelos próprios brasileiros.Reconheço o engajamento de Chico Buarque, a atitude de Titãs, a filosofia grega em Lulu Santos e a lista continua...

[mzfalco]

@lucask207 Defina arte, por favor....

[lucask207]

@mzfalco Não sei o que é arte.Sou só um ignorante.Não leve em conta o que digo, ignore o que faço, não mereço a atenção dada.Não perca o seu tempo com um tolo que não sabe o que é arte mas discursa como se soubesse.

[kensoeu]

@lucask207 sit here _|_ idiot

[dudu1499]

@lucask207you´s gay



[Mykeehyone]

I love this video, this music, the dance, everything! this music get me calm... i don't understain how could anybody don't like this video...

[kathleenbensimon]

What a clip!

[dsharcourt]

Reminds me that after no matter what he always loves me close!

[TheOfficialQuipkick]

boo hipsters

[Dirtypotatoeater]

@TheOfficialQuipkick boo, dubstep...

[TheOfficialQuipkick]

@Dirtypotatoeater what is dubstep too mainstream for you

[coolbrian248]

@TheOfficialQuipkick if you're so opposed, why, praytell, are you watching this particular video?



[Dirtypotatoeater]

@TheOfficialQuipkick No, it just sounds really shitty. I'm sorry, haha, it's just that bad. I don't go to dubstep videos and complain, though. I'm not "down" with the whole "hipster" thing, either. In my day, we made fun of hippies. I guess that's not the cool thing to do anymore.

[ninjaspoonmastr7]

where did his mustache go?

[stechmari]

Maravilhoso! Amo s2

[salazeta]

@stechmari desde quando?

[dandearembepe]

Simplesmente lindo

[eliiberryfield]

And the mustache????? At the begin of the video he has a mustache...

[Maispaispictures]

this is real music madafakas!

[StrangerToEarth]

This made me happy-cry.

I've never done that before.

[salazeta]

@StrangerToEarth  no woman no cry

[StrangerToEarth]

@salazeta

I'm a woman.

So yeah.

[pepadeferrol]

oh my god....incredible song....

[FreshlyCannedKickass]

Stand on a beach, look badass, play a trumpet, he must be god! 

[swverausc214]

@FreshlyCannedKickass It's not a trumpet.

[Dillonater69]

dubstep to this? O.o i like it though

[Loopyman105]

probably one of my favorite beginnings to a song ever..

(ever..)

[biel357]

It makes me feel alive!

[1dauphine]

i am aliiiiive

[renatalorenafarias]

Beirut é vida!

[YuinRuri]

Ooh! This is my favorite song forever!! <3<3<3 BEIRUT RULES!!

[sbudde42]

When I hear this song I get a feeling in the pit of my stomach that lets me feel that everything will be okay.

[ShreddyGnarGnar]

maybe if johnny depp had the voice of an angel. damn I wish I could sing.

[Liploki]

<3



[gurlie1275]

all the cool ppl bring their own trunks :D

[MaNeLeeee]

[TAYLORHWALL]

pretty awesome tune! the video's nutty as hell too.

[susieheartsfashion]

Love this song!!!!!!:)

[whitewolf99alpha]

Appena l ho sentita mi è subito piaciuta

[Ciathos]

the things I would do to that mustache......

[Bobman4671]

Interpretive dance is really getting a lot of admiring musicians.

[CruiseControlFurCool]

vocals sound a lot like andrew bird.

[valval97]

@CruiseControlFurCool He does kind of sound like him.

[metoksipirazin]

I want to sing this song this summer at the streets of Dubrovnik :)

[SalomonMohhamed]

Muito bom... umas das melhores musicas que ja ouvi na minha juventude (Y)

[JuliaFromHell]

i never get tired of this song...

[DaRkMaN3601]

He looks VERY drunk hahaha

[godzirrafication]

notice this was made in 2007, before "hipsters" became a big deal, i am not a hipster and find this to be an amazingly well orchestrated song and video, zach condon is a musical prodigy and instrumentalist

[edmundbedboo]

@godzirrafication he was a hipster before hipsters became a big deal!

[ranciddogs]

@edmundbedboo hipsters suck ! but beirut is great anyway

[iluvhighfives]

when hipsters die, this is where they're sent too.

[kathleenbensimon]

@iluvhighfives *to

[lucazmath]

This music make me very good. I love listen it ever.

[eliara82]

amoo esse clip

[feniquixs]

Esse clipe é sensacional.

[ninjaabob96]

good song :)

[Tanydanie]

(L)



[BeaglesRuleTheRoost]

Ha hipsters suck

[MrEua666]

He reminds me of Salvador Dali.

[NowEnWow]

The song is good, however it could be improved by removing the hipsterness from the musicians.

[edmundbedboo]

@NowEnWow the hipsterness makes it awesome!

[DJDeadnote]

this song is blowing away my melancholy

[angieroum]

i like the comment " he reminds me of johnny depp" i love both of them .

[WorldofGino]

anybody else notice that at the end he has no moustache.........

evil minions at work again......

[WorldofGino]

he looks like jake from outnumbered with a moustache......

[p0t4t0ch1p5]

I'm not "hipster" or anything, I just love music and I think this song is lovely. been replaying it over and over.

[biglata]

hey guys that is sooo freaking me ,,ahh i love myself so much ,,u have no idea:))

[ChampsElysees100]

Am I the only one who doesn't think very highly of hipster "culture"? This song was shitty.

[BergamoFirenzeSGV]

@ChampsElysees100 that hurts me a little.

[salazeta]

anderson silva

[beatlesssssssssss]

He's the type of man I want to marry.

[EstradaMafe]

@beatlesssssssssss I totally agree!

[andandradetobias]

Capitu!

[17randomguy]

The intro made me come...

[dresdamanx]

The Asian chick is the hottest!

[abovebiscuitcrumbs]

[SillyLitleGirl]

Zachary is completely and utterly fuckable.

[titopk]

[carril54]

[juztencutekorean]

He reminds me of Johnny Depp

[MrBorgerood]

This is why i wished a ukulele for christmas.

[69Abiz]

@MrBorgerood I bought my one and I learned the song c:

[tavor2]

@MrBorgerood i got one - best present ever.. my wife is pissed off couse i follow her around the house playing it all day long

[mrcotocloftoclo]

@MrBorgerood i you're talikng about the strange guitar in the video, well that's not an ukulele!

[h3HuuSm3LtIt]

@mrcotocloftoclo isnt it a lute?

[mrcotocloftoclo]

@h3HuuSm3LtIt yeah but definitely not an ukulele

[Dirtypotatoeater]

@mrcotocloftoclo fluke ukulele.

[mrcotocloftoclo]

@Dirtypotatoeater that's the name of the instrument? thanks! :D

[HammerOvThor]

There isn't a word for the kind of feeling this video portrays. I mean I know the feeling, just not the word or words.

[tapaddtiiiii]

@HammerOvThor I love you for that comment, internet stranger.

[EukalaSaurusRex]

merry chrismas!! got a ukulele for christmas, this was the first song i learned on this one :D

[gabrieltuky]

Capitu!!!

[biggpab]

i like snap backs ((:

[thunderthighs33]

I heard this song in Forever 21, and I instantly knew it was Beirut. That voice is too beautiful and unique to get it mixed up with anyone else.

[metoksipirazin]

i was trying and trying to remember where i heard something almost the same and theni founld IT! the best band in Croatia, song form 1997 here it is ; BRILLIANT song, same melody !!!!

Urban - Samo

[ssabipg]

THIS... his voice sounds so amazing :D

[MrJohnnysunshine]

My heart is aching so thuroughly. This is just everything I want my life to look and sound like. I haven't needed any other music for days.

[ed140975]

A mistura de elementos faz esta música um primor; uma delícia aos ouvidos.

[stoneyj024]

YOU FUCKIN HIPSTERS....... this song is amazing

[vidy8887]

Hey guys, sorry i'm late]

[meAndMyZFuckedupHead]

fucking magic 

[MrStarbelly]

I wish there was a love button!!!!!!

[CiaoBello21]

Surreptitiously cunning melodies as if those sounds took me back in the 1970s where everybody was naked jubilantly riding a flying unicorn; then they come across the greatest band of all time Beirut and they brought the naked riders skittles and sang to them as if they were guilty if being naked.

[cynnybobinny]

I fucking love this band. I love you I love you I love you <3

[Carlos111111able]

I want to be in the Balkans soon!! Fuck!!!

[deniz21311]

I just want to be there ...

[shhmellshlikeasshhhh]

I would rape Zach endlessly.

[tinabeaner004]

@shhmellshlikeasshhhh me too. sheeeet.

[UBleedIDrink]

I'd spend all day listening to this song and spamming the like button if I could =D

[ArantxaMelaine]

Simplesmente lindooooooooooooooo

[SeaParade]

156 people are hamsters.

[purpleasurevenge]

I have spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to do that choreography

[wailuanalu]

There was a time when this was the only song I had in my computer (a friend had sent it to me via MSN)... and I went through a whole month listening to that song alone... #OBSESSION

[TriggertheTaco]

This video is exactly what happens when I drink...alone. 

[chrishk94]

@TriggertheTaco seriously same here...

[anniburghi]

oh my god can I just have sex with this song? I don't know how many times I've commented on this video but it's just so perfect
