This has instilled the need in me to learn the accordion.

[licandres01]

[RJLupin6]

@licandres01 They're not hipsters! D: Just because they have a sound that is attributed to hipsters doesn't mean they are hipsters! D:

[SFTeka]

Awesome Zach is awesome!

[SunCountryMusic]

We're an underground, folk band looking for some love. If you've got the time, check it out!

[minime13evil]

What's the name of the song zack starts singing at the end of the video?

[WilliamMistak]

The accordionist looks like Toby Turner.

[FancyPaoh]

Esta canción me hace sentir tan bien, es con un abrazo de notas musicales.

No siempre se llora por tristeza, que feliz me siento !

[radio145]

Like if you saw in Sydney :D

[madasrabbits06]

god... zach is so perfect.

[nihoyninunca]

Uhh... the accordionist is not Yann Tiersen?

Well I always say:

"If you love Yann Tiersen, you are gonna love Beirut... and... If you love Beirut, you are gonna love Yann Tiersen..."

[pinkishnewspaper]

[Timeofchords]

What reason does one have to dislike this?

[christietotheanna]

Such a beautiful and unique voice

[zamine81]

@christietotheanna That's sound exactly like in their clips, awsome.

[Pearson391011]

That was pure awesomeness just great

Loved it

[juanthomas089]

@leonstrart,@celexy: (I guess) the song at 4:40 it's called "the canals of our city"

[leonstrart]

[eljemil]

GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[meeseandgeese]

Perfect.

[djc6614]

Is that Will Sheff back there?

[MirandaEvelynMusic]

I remember reading this book that mentioned this song in it but I can't remeber the name of the book..

[xJordanBreanna]

@MirandaEvelynMusic The Mission, by Jason Meyers?

[leonstrart]

@MirandaEvelynMusic really?? oohh, please if you remember the name of the book, can you tell me please? :)

[sarahlauraadams]

his smile :)

[morganandpaige]

pretty sure 6,000,000 out of the 6,106,376 views are from me

you are amazing

[unasensualita]

Excellent... j'adore ce groupe, c'est rythmé et festif (mais sans être trop ceci ou trop cela...), nous avons besoin de groupes comme eux en ce moment, bravo ! ;)

[angelogcs77]

When I heard the guy at our local radio station saying that this guy, Zach Condon-even though different music styles- could be the next Paul McCartney, my first reaction was that of skepticism. But as I keep exploring their music and having been to one of their concerts, I think that what I felt the first time I heard the Beatles I felt it when I first heard these guys.

Beautiful music. The Rip Tide listed as one of 2011 50 best records in some places!

[SierraRyanish]

That was so cute :)

[CharloteRose]

Love it : )

[TheDonDiamand]

first time i hear this song, and i love it, it nice :D

[skylinerintegra]

awsome

[leonstrart]

[epinephrineden]

awesome mabrook!

[lucaig2]

[shellz12589]

I want to marry him {sighs} <3

[Fugutetchirinabe]

<3

[chinchillalovers1]

Awezing! <3 I lååååve it<3

[shellz12589]

This song makes me want to be in love. Its the Beirut effect I suppose <3

[Bloobymoo]

@shellz12589 So true! Their song Elephant Gun is soooo oddly romantic!

[FrostLagoon]

@shellz12589 It should be a new psychological term.

[shaggymichelle]

I'd sit on his face.

[RougeNoirDesir]

@shaggymichelle Hahaha!!!!!! I say this about guys to my girlfriends and they act like they've never heard the expression before!! Good to know I'm not the only one with the particular frame of thought!!

[WhaleMountain]

It's Will Sheff from Okkerivil @ 2:05 !!!

[celexy]

does ANYONE know the song he starts singing at 4:40???

[ArturZuckerman]

CooL!!!

[carolina2012lol]

fofo!



[msparkermarryme]

3:37 love seeing people smile about what they are doing. especially when making beautiful music :)

[TWCPAEB]

I remember watching this video back in 2008 when it was a baby, now it's all grown up with 6 million views.. I fell in love, and every time I heard this song, my heart broke. It still does. Nantes is my favorite song from Beirut.

[danielapieck91]

He's just perfect.

[grootgirl7]

...he's practically tone deaf.

[MrTortoiseIsMyFriend]

@grootgirl7 hell no hes not sound deaf?

[browherenew]

@grootgirl7 I agree. I have classical training, and maybe he just can't perform anything improvisational, but this is kind of ridiculous.

[yomunjoe]

I believe i heard an Australian accent... Wooooo!!! we can be groovy people too (:

[MegaPoone]

How come this sort street performance never happens when I'm around? All I get is freaking mimes...

[vote4cove]

i dont even understand him, but the music is so beautiful

[iEliseoForPresident]

I'm gonna drag my thrash cans to shoprite and maybe he'll appear

[salazeta]

trilha sonora do seriado capitu ( dom casmurro) de Machado de Assis

[zoe528hz]

words are obsolete. much love to you. peace.

[thebuttonmasher]

2:00

The guy is drumming on the table. Classic.

[JAACKIIEE7]

I fucking love him!!!!!

[SuperTilldo]

i was there i saw him while i was on vacations it was freaking awesome i was like wtf his voice is even brilliant when he's performing live!!

[rorris92]

his voice is truly beautiful!

[arjunvsharma]

he reminds me of elvis presley

[MagiKz44]

Nantes, my city... my heart

Vive Nantes <3

[retropancakeful]

@MagiKz44 ermm may i know where is nantes?

[MagiKz44]

@retropancakeful North-West of France :)

[darknessnobility]

I guess I fell in love with him and his voice!

[2809Faby]

Oh Zach 8)'

[greece75]

the picture at the background :))



[inf3]

When I see this, I'm afraid to sing along, Zach is god.

[pantone95330]

super concept, super voix

[dalianivul]

I want a boy like him!

[mossysuzette]

Just two words.. LOVE IT! <3

[laurangastangas]

Me hubiera gustado presenciar esa obra maestra.

[Fishfinder08cox]

he got fat recently

[Th3Fr3m]

Beirut is a city in the heart of Lebanon, however this band doesn't not compose of any Lebanese cultural music or ethnicity...why did they chose that for a band name?

[DrumminBird]

@Th3Fr3m From what I can gather, the lead singer has traveled all over the world. Perhaps he saw something in Beirut that inspired him (i.e. history, culture, personal experience, etc.)

[NeonBoneyard]

@Th3Fr3m and its just a fantastic word..Beirut.ah! its beautiful sounding

[plonkies]

@NeonBoneyard yes beirut is a fantastic word.. but them americans and israelis destroys that beautiful part of the world....

[meestryal]

@Th3Fr3m This song doesn't have much to do with Nantes, so what? Who gives a fuck really?

[scknss]

Municipal staff was about to arrive.. Possible reaction; "What the fck are you doing to this trash cans ? " :)

[LizaCupcake]

ah come to Greece o.o

[UndertheStars1000]

I want to be friends with Beirut...He's cool. 

[Unit1iDirty]

Straight to the top of my favourites, easily the best find of the year so far. Goddamn thats a great song and the video makes it even better.

[Punk1Day]

do you think they did it for money or for showing people some good music?

[Singliketom]

I would have died laughing if the fish went into the road and got run over by a car.

[jumb0mumb0]

@ayoubwehbi

My Penis (Thick Cylindrical Dick!) is really something out of this world. Have you seen it?

[ayoubwehbi]

@jumb0mumb0 i'm not gay or anything, so go show it to your friends..

[jumb0mumb0]

@ayoubwehbi

But you don't have to be gay to want to see it.

[ayoubwehbi]

@ayoubwehbi fuck you : )

[ThePenetang]

Was that the dude from Okkervil River?

[DougRiparetti24]

@ThePenetang

Yes, That is the main Dude from Okkervil River

[KnapyPuppy]

what song is he singing at the end? I simply must know

[erranta26]

los amo... amor a primera vista, además... lo que casi nunca pasa, pero paso. ♥

[OzcarMtl]

His voice and Lo'Blondo's from Hello Seahorse! would make an amazing duo, check out her voice in Luna by Zoé.

[n0mad01]

kinda interresting voice

[etiquettechick]

He's beautiful. 

[gailvoight9829]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!



[XYXminecraftXYX]
