hey everybody PLEASE come check out my creative video's .. i spend a great deal of time on them and get very low views.. be sure to watch (SEEDS) and (SOFTLY CONFINED) and much more. thanks! :)
I have always been a fan of Bei. I abandoned his music some time ago with the busyness & changes of life but have just come back to him. I havent been so happy in so long because of that but I can smile now. He reminds me so much of home (Yellow Springs, Ohio) His music & everything he does makes me smile from the inside out. Ahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to scream from the mountain tops with all my might!! Im free in this! I feel so alive! :D
This is a fantastic song.I love it.The power is in its symplicity,a great choice of intruments and the voice of the singer sets a verry special mood in this song.Almost mystic.Love the accordion in the background.
The top comment is probably referring to how Dianna Agron, the actress best known for her part as Quinn Fabray In Glee, referred to this song in one of her tumblr posts.
@RespectfullyDisagree I think they mean Dianna Agron, she's from glee. She always do this kinds of stuf, she puts a song in her tumblr and everyone goes to listen to it. To be honest I don't like it
@MrHoboland123 It's all good, my mom does too, she wants to change it whenever I turn Beirut on, but you can't say much because the owns the latest Lady Gaga and Katy Perry CD's. I believe that I am the one with a satisfactory taste in music.
When this band plays their uplifting music it makes me believe that it is possible to live in this world without a perscription but as soon as the music stops I have to grab my large bottle of happy pills so this got me thinking that maybe I have become an addict and this band are nothing more than song peddling junkies?
@alexgoyo98 You wrote "hipster" but this song is one of your favourite, meaby i don't know meaning of this word, meaby hole Poland don't. "i'm in dot"
god today has been such a fantastic day and i just could not think of a better way to finish it off than with some of the most beautiful music in the world . so for that i send out a heartfelt thank you to everyone that makes Beirut possible, keep up the fantastic work
Beirut are one of those rare musicians who actually play there own songs. This kind of musician is becoming more and more rare. Also I'd like to add that Beirut is a heartwarming sight in a world where someone like Justin Bieber is a star
I love Beirut, but sometimes they sound so much like Rufus Wainwright, it's uncanny. This is one of those times. Which is cool to me, Rufus is one of my favorite voices.
@MegaraptorMD Thanks Dr.YouTube. Try this: the fact that so many people are so moved by 2 chords on a 3 string ukelele (Postcards from Italy - yes, yes, Zach, we know, you're such a musical magician you can make something you picked out of the garbage sound good - now try this clarinet without a reed ye smug, button-pushing, fanny-minded showman) says it all about America. This is trump.
@1ofdiamonds You're getting there. More anger, be seething with rage, and I especially like the blame america part. That will get people commenting like motherfuckers. I am so proud of you.
@1ofdiamonds That's awfully mean. Just because he's singing about different themes doesn't mean they're all his stories. This music is easy to relate to and the consistent message that comes out of this band is one of peace, joy and happiness. I hope you find your calling as Zach did.
@1ofdiamonds is a little faggot with a little penis. i dont agree with your garbage, dull opinions and neither should the other people who sees these comments
@maclanedennis2 You got Penis on the mind, Denis? Is it cos your name looks a bit like the word Penis, Denis? Only kidding, Dennis. Shame you are only the 2nd of your kind, unlike 1ofdiamonds. Take care.
THIS SONG SOOOO TUGS AT MY EMOTIONS...BUT I'M NOT SURE WHICH...PERHAPS ALL......THIS BAND IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE WITH IT'S MELODIOUS TONES AND FEELINGS THAT I AM NOT USE TO FEELING....BRI
Why does Zach look sooooooo good in anything he wears. I swear to gawd he could wear a bag and still look like art. as long as he didn't wear it over his face !
this is so beatifull music... beatifull... it reminds me a bit to your yann tiersen, this guys , the singer is so talented...who compuse the songs of the bands?
@torason I love Blondie, and if you had told me that she covered this song (and Zach Condon even played on the track) I would be ecstatic. But then I listened to it... And as impossible as it seems, she successfully butchered this song.
@RosebudVIE I will follow that pied piper! From one Beirut fan to another, can you do me a favor (feel free to say no, but please say yes!)? I'm trying to win a trip to see Beirut live at Lollapalooza music festival - I even wrote a song for it! The video with the most thumbs up wins the trip, so please, thumb me up?
i wish there were someone here with me to dance with as i listen to this song. oh well. :) til then i dance alone. but hey, i dance. :) such an awesome song.
Saw this band 3 days ago in Korea... the best gig i've been to in YEARS.
