BEIRUT - Cliquot - From the Flying CLub Cup

[flatsseeker]

great music, great persons....

[travis538910]

loVe iT ... !!!!

[Berit2die4]

I LOVE this song, this video, and everything about it. Thank you!

[MrGolllum]

1:00 - It's Zach Condon?!

[brunaturtle]

I love it

[FLUandMeRide]

Regular people doing some beautiful, kick-ass shit. Oh, not to mention being the rad'est band on Earth!

[leah67584930]

I wish there was music for the flute part!

[FrostLagoon]

I prefer this version to the album version. This one's less "perfect", which makes more it perfect. :)

[dundie2k]

i get really dizzy @2:46 lol

[dakilla816]

Honestly this sounds better than the CD version.

[pano1955]

1.55 I've got thills

[TheSpicehard]

Who else would love a Zach and Ed collaboration album?

[SunnyShine43]

@thebronzebat D: I prefer Owen Pallet's sexy man voice!

[DiddieStar8]

Asdfgh 4 de Noviembre en México <3. I can't believe it!

[strangledwords]

Ed Droste, you beautiful man, you.

[mikedelgado8888]

awesome

[flyaway951]

muuuch better than the CD version. Sorry, Condon. 

[retrohippie]

@flyaway951 That should be a compliment to him. Most bands would rather be known to sound better live than on the album.

[blinkmeblazer182]

@flyaway951 Why Sorry Condon?  Ed Droste is singing the vocal part for Owen Pallet, not Zach. Zach is layering the vocals during the refrain, just like he does on the album version. You've got a good point though, this version is far superior to the album version.

[Gadapaj]

Perfect people exist and sing.

[kamevilu]

his voice is beautiful!

[flyzinha23]

good cover

[carobb57]

@flyzinha23 I think it is not a cover. It just that Zach is not singing. At any case, is so so beautifull

[josthearchitect]

I say this yust for fun, no insults intended but....

at 0.34 doesn't the singer look a lott like..... Hitler?

Anyone?

[glassflowers8]

when i hear zach's voice, i melt a little....i cant wait for the new album!

[silentmelody12]

@glassflowers8 are you serious? new album?

[glassflowers8]

@silentmelody12 he's touring too

it's all in the band site

[glassflowers8]

@silentmelody12 and tour

it's all in the band site

beirutband . com

[italoesteves]

I rejoice in the accordion performance of this song.

[SterlingandMilly]

YOU ARE TOTALLY RIPPING OF ZACH AND BEIRUT! THEY DO IT WAYYY BETTER AND ITS ORIGINAL

[peskasker]

@SterlingandMilly HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[whereismorgan]

@SterlingandMilly LMAO

[Brofessorable]

@SterlingandMilly lol google ripping off, i think you have the definition wrong.

[albanonabla]

@SterlingandMilly damn... you should just STFU and leave the internet... seriously.

[loversinjapan3]

@SterlingandMilly uhhh... zach and beirut are in this video you dumbnuts.

[christinaaaaa]

sigh..zach<3!!!!!!!!!!

[weldorn]

i somehow like the drummer :D

[BehindTheSea29]

Edward Droste! I got so excited when I saw him :) Apart from that, I am so deeply in love with Beirut, no one compares to them

[burninupforjbbaby]

is grizzly bear on the album too?!!

[areizacombatezombies]

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[eromattiffarg]

they just walk out the door at the end, pretentious shit

[veronikaceleste99]

@eromattiffarg How is walking out of a room pretentious?

[cnguyen213384]

I have watched this video so many times, and only just realized that Ed Droste walks out of the room haha 

[veronikaceleste99]

@cnguyen213384 No he doesn't. Ed Droste sits down after singing and Zach Condon leaves the room at the end.

[nktastic]

@veronikaceleste99 ed actually does leave the room in the middle of the song

[eromattiffarg]

WTF is that the lead singer of grizzly bear?

[JackHartista]

@eromattiffarg yes it is

[FrostLagoon]

@eromattiffarg yepp

[AntonioHofmeister]

check our our version, it's quite charming: lots of ukeleles in a park in Rio de Janeiro:

/watch?v=ropSMHl4dNg

[26evell]

que mejor sonido para tan hermosa letra.

[Daphuhnuh]

The singer is excellent. I need to get to know this band Grizzly Bear.

Most people trying to cover a Beirut song don't come close, but this guy is great. Still prefer Zach above anything though. ;)

[RoutineMalaise22]

@Daphuhnuh This is Beirut, Ed Droste(The lead singer of Grizzly Bear) is just singing with them. Zach sings the end chorus. I think Beirut and Grizzly Bear went to France together.

[buda2207]

we have to bow down to the guy behind the camera for all these music videos!

[nieblati]

i´ve never noticed his tatoo

ironic.

[MrAnonymous10210]

17 people have no fucking life!

[halofreak013]

who would dislike this??

[anthonyxtony]

What kind of drums are those? I want themm

[spiegalr]

Where is Owen Pallett? I couldn't care less about Grizzly Bear.

[theempirestrikesback]

This version of this song has been stuck in my head all day, accenting a visit back home. Amazing song

[TheGmccoy]

@iunnodiapeys and that matters because.....?

[iunnodiapeys]

@TheGmccoy did i say it matters

[MissTearyVee]

@iunnodiapeys  it matters enough for you to have to ask

[sshelto16]

idk how or why they got together.... but i'm glad

[Legolas310]

Grizzly Beirut action! YEEEEEAAA!!!

[Vespanius]

Love this kind of versions then The album ones they shut put them on iTunes

[ars3nalpromo]

:O ED DROSTE IS THAT YOU???

[looourie]

the guy singing is in grizzley bear

[WildCard761]

Halileet Another band thats pretty simaler to this is devotchka

[4bongin2boy0]

@thebronzebat hell, yeah..i heard this version first then the recorded one, and it just ruined it to be honest..HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD THIS SONG TO MY ITUNES?!?!

[4bongin2boy0]

@Halileet sadly, theres only like 3, lol..but indie bands rock man..just keep an ear out for them

[ArtichokesHvH3art]

@Halileet ahaha...oh really?! Thanks:) Both singers sound great in this! Beirut is preetttyy uniquely amazing. I don't know if it can get any better than this.

[Estrato4821]

he is the lost son of hittler look at him its just like hittlet OMFG ! i can belive it hitler singing cliquot

[ArtichokesHvH3art]

Wait- isn't that guy from  the Grizzly Bear band singing at the beginning? What's he doing there? :P

[shavedgooch666]

Does any one else think this song might be partially based on Crime and Punishment? I mean with burning down the station and the fever and st. petersburg and all? idk some lines reming of it. anyway, it's so great! and ed!

[nothing1841]

is that room for rent

[japnackatack]

addicted to beirut, when you play in the uk i demand you play every song you've ever done in one gig!

[JamesMajdali]

this piece is so haunting. I can't stop listening to it.

another Beautiful performance

[ikenwan]

The French horn really gives Beirut (and this song) their distinctive character. I've never heard that instrument used so favorably.

[Jowisia]

It's crazy but I think every Beirut's song is my favourite.

[gooseymoose]

Owen Pallett does the vocals on the flying club cup actually, not zach.

[MrApplesmith]

so yeah like the lyrics i looked up end at I'll sing of the usual spin

Getting sadder and older, oh love i can hear him say something after that sounds like hes saying he is cold or something idk, anyone know what the words are?

[oblique65]

this isnt beirut

[OsimoTinkle]

@oblique65 singer is from grizzly bear, singer of beirut is playing on the trumpet

[Naytinfinity]

@OsimoTinkle actually its the flugelhorn

[OsimoTinkle]

@Naytinfinity myyyy bad :p

[DuddlesLovesMaia]

@oblique65 At the 2:00 marker, you see Zach Condon singing. Also, any video from flyingclubcup is gonna be Beirut.

[anibaltorofigueroa]

@oblique65 Watch the whole thing..

[oblique65]

@anibaltorofigueroa ah ur totally right. thanks! =)

[anibaltorofigueroa]

@oblique65 You're welcome.

[anacris1981]

Nossa...conheci ouvindo Elephant Gun...me apaixonei.

Demais mesmoooo



[midocrimsonfate]

Why do they not mention in the title that Ed Droste from grizzly bear sings this !

[MrIknowmonkeys]

@midocrimsonfate

He doesn't sing on the album and he isn't the writer :)

[midocrimsonfate]

@MrIknowmonkeys Well because he didnt sing it in the album and he isnt the writer,I would think that would be more of a reason to mention that in the title.

[katissoradlike]

@midocrimsonfate Woah, I didn't recognize him at first! :D That's awesome.

[TheTheJPShow]

Who is the guy singing??

That's not Zac.. ??

[KICKTHEBABY666]

@TheTheJPShow EDWARD DROSTE of GRIZZLY BEAR

[muujinga]

*takes clothes off* Take me mr. droste

[TheSensim]

Where can I buy Beirut's album ??

[TheTheJPShow]

@TheSensim Amazon..Itunes Etc.

[weirdo968]

in the original version owen pallet (final fantasy) interpreted

I think he wrote the letter

[weirdo968]

vals

[weirdo968]

waw

[adrianenrique614]

Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear... Epic right now.

[Terraky]

Holly Shit! How did I survive 3 years without seeing this??!

[nethaneld]

@Terraky My thoughts exactly. This is my first time hearing of Beirut. I'm finally moving from underneath the rock.

[Terraky]

@nethaneld I've known Beirut since its beginning. Seen them live last year, Zach is so passionate. But I've never seen this video before with Grizzly Bear. Enjoy Beirut the best you can. Discovering music you love and made by such a talented artist is the best feeling you can get.

[theej12354]

greaaat!

[mrAcustico]

what is the song about??

being poor??

[xXxNemoEmoxXx]

The song is about a Black Plague victim trying to convince his lover to come out and die with him.

[sweetssita]

Casate conmigo.

[mrAcustico]

isint that guy from grizzly bear?

i thought i was gonna watch beirut, the guy that sings nantes

[MrFairygodmother]

they're singing together.

I was stoked when i saw in these blogotheque videos that they collaborated sometimes! After i heard of grizzly bear, which was, sad to say, recently, I was pretty obsessed with their music...

and for a while before this, i've been a fan of Beirut this makes me happy. Thanks, La Blogotheque.

[runriot26]

yea thats Grizzly Bear's lead singer, The two groups are good friends, Zach Condon eventually comes in towards the end playing the horn

[FRANKtheBRO]

i swear this song keeps me up all damn night. i keep watching it over and over and over. love

[leogrl25]

love this song and it's awesome seeing them sing together

[arnoldjrtpg]

I never get tired of this song

[khirita]

Wonderful!!! i love you Ed:P

[rsmoove2000]

I am so in love with this song...

[peutch]

Isn't the singer of the Grizzly Bears?

[elderion]

I don't know, they look the same!

[Carniverhorse]

@peutch Yes it is

[DestroyerXD]

Beautiful and pure brilliance. Viva La Beirut!

[krums510]

holy shit. Everything about this song is amazing. The lyrics make you feel the pain of this man and the way the song is built on the music alone is beautiful. So well constructed. I love that there are musicians out there still making music that makes me feel this way.

[DylanFlanagan]

@krums510 And this is even their worst song, they're amazing

[amarroyo2]

who fucking cares?! just listen.......

[TheLordOfTheKeys]

Isn't Edward Droste homosexual? I"m not hating or anything, just wondering. Because I heard he was.

Really great talent either way.

[NINmindfreak27]

@TheLordOfTheKeys

Yeah, he is.

[jaclyn9189]

Only Ed is gay..

[michotto]

@TheLordOfTheKeys hope so :D

[azione]

Amazing, not so much a cover rather an impression... great stuff!

[BastuBasti]

it's not a cover. its the original version.

thats the album version.

[HCOUTinot]

these guys are good, so close to the real thing!

[DanteNeverCries]

aaah! Ed Droste is my idol! His voice is beautiful!

[lenymo89]

It is :3 I love it. So different from all the other singers these days.

[KarennBrody]

I love beirut...good job!

[AstroAtze]

i must have been blind...i´ve watched it about a dozen times and did not recognize it...the singer at 0:22 is the frontman of grizzly bear...great!

[SanFransiscoDreaming]

God this song is beautiful.

i could almost swear that, if you look really closely, zach has tears in his eyes at 3:10

[fookindindon]

the guy who sings is owen pallett aka final fantasy, a great violinist who also co-operated with patrick wolf

[eddsterfalconian]

nay dude...the guy singing is edward droste from grizzly bear. owen pallett wrote the strings part of the song.

[emilybyeight]

Ed and Zach,

could anything be better?

[DanteNeverCries]

not possibly, i practically worship the two of them

[michotto]

Beirut <3

[christinaaaaa]

who is this guy? it's not zach

[laxer3232]

ed droste from grizzly bear

[tryagaincwm]

sometimes i think this is the best song i have ever heard

[x2XtReMEx]

@tryagaincwm i think i agree.

[katissoradlike]

@tryagaincwm I agree. :D

[arturovecamp]

me encanta beirut y esta canción...¿cuando vinenen a mexico? espero que pronto

[deitobi]

son geniales , los amo! que musica tan inspiradora ♥

[sarcasticallyyummy]

I bought this CD totally because of Nantes, then realized "wow, this is freaking amazing".

I would like to see more people pay attention to bands like Beirut- they are gypsies of their own era and they seem to cast a sort of magic with their music.

[SWAC424]

this video gave me acne!

[ChrisArlingtonVA]

So who's that singing? It's not Zach Condon is it? Beirut is so confusing.

[ericschulze]

look up grizzly bear.

[Urkinorobitch]

It's Ed Droste from ''Grizzly Bear''

[latinohomiejo071593]

Ed Droste from Grizzly Bear

[countcoco]

Someone pointed that out to me today. Nubery, im swimming in it.

[hellothere425]

for some reason, i wasn't crazy about this song at first but then once i really listened to it and noticed all the small details, of course i fell in love with it- it's hard for me to not fall in love with a beirut song- even with the few songs by beirut that i don't personally love, i still appreciate them very much

[kosovojenasarec]

beirut band is great !

excellent !!!

[petnamesforstrangers]

Beirut = Marvelous.

I also have to agree with what1934.

[what1934]

That is THE most ridiculous thing I have ever heard...v

(wanda4decentvalues)

[JTrota]

this has to be a joke!... seriously!

[dan650472]

well ur obviously not christian because jesus christ taught love and acceptance.

[Urkinorobitch]

You sir are an idiot

[Urkinorobitch]

let me explain why: God is the creator, he created everything. Hereby... he is not YOUR son either YOUR home... they are both God's. Remeber what happened to 'job'. Beirut was created by God as well as your son's acne to see if you would accept EVERY single thing he created. Now i dont think your holy father would be really happy that you use meds to get rid of his holy decision.

[samuraiallen]

you know that almost everyone has had acne in some part of their life, right??

[Urkinorobitch]

Lol i was answering the guy who said his kid had acne because he listened to Beirut and It wasnt god-worthy in a Uber sarcastic way and yet people maked my message as spam XD guess I'll be less sarcastic when mocking Religious Blindness next time.

... are you being serious.

also.. beirut isn't "islamic music" but regardless, even if it were your son has the right to listen to what he wants
