BEIRUT - La Banlieue - From the Flying Club Cup

[XfishygoesrawrX]

I feel so much pain in this song.

[Uling28]

I feel so alive and joy when I listen to Beirut. Forever Beirut, not Lebanon. -__-

[juanchoalicante]

Oh God, Exist any Beirut song that don´t can makes me feel wonderful?

[apocrisia]

Hey YouTube! It should be the people who listen to Miley Cyrus who should be suggested Beirut... but then again, it's a really stupid world isn't it?

[sheepnote]

@apocrisia I think they should suggest Beirut to everyone.

[SadistAtHeart]

MAGNIFICENT!

[wellesleyful]

I really want to get a piano accordion-- does anyone know what kind is like this one? or is best?

[jompi89]

@wellesleyful Piermaria french made accordions expensive but worth the price Atleast for their signature model Monarque.

[Timothydlol]

wow zach condon is a boy!

[clarapoko]

This video is great... i just wish it were like the album version...

[wooiloveyou2]

ahhh.

that horn sounds amazing(:

makes me wish i had switched when i had the chance..

[VanHalen010]

What do you play?

[wooiloveyou2]

flute. haha.

it's nice, but well, brass is just so, i dunno.. i've always liked the sound of a well played trumpet or french horn(:

cliche, i know. haha.

do you play anything?

[VanHalen010]

I understand. I played the flute since 4th grade and I like it but couldn't resist getting a trumpet and trombone which I started a few weeks ago. But I also play the guitar, uke, mandolin, accordion, singing saw, banjo, bass, drums, harmonica and I sing. But I guess I was lucky to acquire all of them.

[wooiloveyou2]

yeah you are.. i'm jealous. :P

haha. you sound like a friend of mine..

i've tried tons of instruments, but flute is the only thing that really sticks to me.

[Ghestto]

i wish this song were longer!!.. i love it..

[OsheaElijiaAdamsLevy]

i like it but i miss the piano solo in the original

[capitanoinsano]

i fucking love beirut!

[TwoThirdsPi]

This puts my flugelhorn playing to shame it's so bloody perfect and soulful...

[patqrva]

amaaazing <3

[michotto]

Beirut is simply brilliant.

powerful voice, powerful composition, catchy tunes and lyrics... wow.

i startled when my neighbour in Spain put the whole Flying Cup Club album at full volume, since i was listening to it at the same time on my ipod! :D

[atiaJulii]

where do you listened it?, i put Beirut at full colume here!, i live on Córdoba

[NewSlang94]

you... startled?

[michotto]

yup, sort of that big ! you see in Metal Gear Solid. sort of an adrenaline rush...

but maybe ain't the perfect word to describe it, i'm not native english, sorry

[angieterror]

simply beautiful

best way to put it

[pabloalbelda]

last night I had a dream with this song it was so beautiful xD

[nannerl02]

I love like he plays the trumpet...

[puzzmod]

love the touch of the horns out of the windows

so so amazing!

[eierkopf1991]

Just brilliant

[LupusBR]

this is fantastic

[vicccccccxD]

woooo!

perrin cloutier!

[hellomimi25]

they are incredible! ily zach<333

[TheCrimper]

this is the best song on flying club cup

[marijanamorgan]

Just brilliant

[Enright9591]

My my. They are amazing.

I get chills everytime they play.

[Zacariasd]

I can't wait for the March of the Zapotec to come out!

[questribe]

it came out, and did you think it can compare to any of the other albums??? it is great but theres nothing incredible

[SaviorThree]

I agree. Good, but not as good as Gulag Orkestar or Flying Cup Club. Those albums transcend mostly all other music.

[abrelosojos18]

I was disappointed really.

[spinyopaat]

hehe lol

[marcellabrussolo]

adoroadoroadoro!

[vivipara]

ohhhhhh......geniaal....snif

[solatica]

[TheGreatGodBrown]

Lovely. The window addition was absolutely delightful.

[kaiserschon]

great!

[FmlyGy123]

sounds like love.

[Soapies]

<3 warmth

[claudiarana]

I really love your music guys, you should come to mexico or near to texas, please!

[zezima86]

Absolutely perfect, I want a flugelhorn now. And does anyone know what the notes are on the instrument Zach is playing?

[remember132]

on a B flat scale B - G sharp - B - A - G sharp - F sharp - F - F sharp - G sharp - A

The second time you switch the first G sharp for an A so it's B,A,B,A and so on.

[kaiserschon]

god, i finally did it!!

thanx a lot man, i almost cry when i play it

=)

[bitterman188]

I love this song. Its my fav from Flying Club Cup.

[rotefak]

I think it's a "fliscorno" (the trumpet)

[BlueDiamondGirl]

What kind of trumpet does Zach use?

I know its has rotary valves, but i'm curious to know what kind!

This song is my favourite on the cd!

<3

[williestratton]

It's a rotary valved flugelhorn

[dutchson3]

I've played this song about 5000 times, and each time the beauty of it made me cry... Music in its upmost perfect shape.

[beachwoodsparks]

so you've cried 5000 times ever since you heard this song? damn.

[xMrsBellamyx]

I love Zach. He is so damn perfect

[lilykate3]

Beirut bring a lot of happiness to my life. This is really cool! :)

[droctagon17]

Why did he play a piano recording of the song at the end?

[Myrmhgofagos]

Perhaps used as a metaphor?He was perfoming live what he could remember of a feeling but what he did was trying to reciprocate an emotion captured at a specific time + place. That feeling was fresher in the initial recording, though now it only takes part as a faded memory.The recording is a faded echo of a memory. What is left, after time..Everybody went in the house, without playing their instruments and only the accordion was left, perhaps to wave goodbye to the memory.IM0-what do you think?

[Myrmhgofagos]

I was ment to reply to this but it went up. Let me know what you think.

[GrizzoCracker]

I love this idea! Nothing cooler than playing in random locations Zach Condon is my hero.

[ramshamoon]

Lots of talent with this group

[regndrab]

this's my favourite song of the day

[Laura3366]

DAMN he's cute!!!!!

[tanstil]

COOOL!

[eld1eg0enyutiub]

Awsome Finale!

[jrtrobotdance]

la Banlieue is one of my favorites on the new album.

[StrewnAsunder]

[ShroomFairy]
