Realpeople - My Night With The Prostitute From Marseille

[Roxanna8294]

What a magnificent voice. :) Wonderful

[mnhypercam]

so good <33

[cocomilkshakex]

This reminds me of 'Waterstones' in cork city....no idea why XD

[lecifbaby]

I don't see the prositute as literal at all. I think she is just a metaphor for any lie you allow yourself to believe in for the moment.

[skotg94]

@lecifbaby hipster comment

[justnuge914]

any one know where I can get this instrumental?

[AdmiralBarackbar]

can he please make more music like this as well as making more music like he does, because I like both I just want more of this :D

[BastienNewton]

@AdmiralBarackbar Check out his album " The Joys of Losing Weight" if you haven't already.. 21 untitled tracks very similar to this, my favourite album of all times

[AdmiralBarackbar]

@BastienNewton thanks! I will. easy to find? or takes a little more digging?

[BastienNewton]

@AdmiralBarackbar No not too hard, here's a link to a torrent

thepiratebay[dot]org/torrent/3­967874

Took me a few listens before I got into it, it's a bit rough around the edges because it's his first album, but it's incredible.

[AdmiralBarackbar]

@BastienNewton already downloaded, my friend! thanks anyways :D yeah, I really liked the first track among others. cheers!

[jamyupsuhsuh]

this was soo good live in outsidelands x)

[ScreamforInsomnia]

This song is so beautiful, i want this played at my wedding.

[kas0625]

Sounds like a singing doctor zoidberg

[Morpheus94080]

I mean this ep is great just like their two albums, and I'm looking forward to getting their new one

[Morpheus94080]

This is amazing, I like both of beiruts albums, and this one is equally fascinating on two whole different levels, acoustics are beuatiful and the synthesizer is amazing

[blur1994yllw]

i fucking hate fryersmuck, he ruins every good indie folk video on this site

[51StPierre]

Reminds me of Stereolab,

[Christoffuckers]

can anyone else hear the majorly low computerized backing vocals on the second verse?

[marldrar930]

@Christoffuckersyes and I love it

[iffy593]

@Christoffuckers Yeah I can't un-hear now

[TheSpartan2235]

If you listen really closely to the chorus on this song you hear a really deep low voice under his kinda creepy

[MisterGenerazio]

@TheSpartan2235 Now I can't stop hearing it.. :/

[juandiego1234567890]

this is one of the best songs i have ever heard

[michaelfingard]

@juandiego1234567890 totally!

[Firstriver333]

What is "Realpeople?"

The band is Beirut last time I checked in

[SurprisingEagle]

@Firstriver333 From Wikipedia: "Realpeople is Zach Condon's electronic side-project. It was under this name that Condon made his first (unreleased) album, The Joys of Losing Weight, and the name to which the Holland EP is credited. The Joys of Losing Weight, which was made when Condon was fifteen, has never been released officially, but has been leaked on the internet."

[Firstriver333]

@SurprisingEagle

I don't get how this has to do with this particular song but that's interesting; thanks

[sirPiemanrs]

it is still beirut

[w1llyw0nka23]

@SurprisingEagle Is there anyway I can download this unreleased album online or somewhere?

[w1llyw0nka23]

@SurprisingEagle Is there anyway I can download this album?

[SurprisingEagle]

@w1llyw0nka23 Which album? The Joys of Losing Weight? If so: contact BastienNewton. Maybe he can help you, because I don't have it.

[droctagon17]

@SurprisingEagle I have it. It's on many torrent websites. Just do a google search and it should come up.

[skotg94]

@w1llyw0nka23 dude just google "youtube to mp3 converter"

[lydslaf]

Can't wait to see them at Summerfest!

[MusicManx9]

Sweet Sweet Moon Version is better.

[noisetrend]

ONE M0:00RE TIME!

[sk8brd4life]

i think this song is about eating pizza

[hobbitkniver]

Fryer schmuck, I may be high but I thought you were right

[alexbigode1]

hola, soy mexicana y siento curiosidad por los nombres de guyamas Sonora y el march of the zapotec. la musica de ustedes no tiene que ver ni con la musica de sonora o la musica zapoteca. ¿esos nombres se refieren a la cultura mexicana o es otra cosa?. De cualquier foma que maravillosos musicos son y la cancion nantes es mi favorita

[jorge1234]

@alexbigode1 si. este wey nomas retoma cosas que a su parecer son exóticas y las incorpora en su música, como buen hipster jaja, pero estoy de acuerdo, excelente música

[bebespicy]

@alexbigode1

Hola yo creo que tiene definitivamente que ver mas con la cultura, pero no conozco ninguna de las dos musicas ni zapoteca ni guyana, la banda viene de santa fé asi que me imagina tendran una particular simpatia con la cultura mejicana. De todas formas que sea eso o no, suena bien como titulo y les da un cierto aire bohemio al grupo! Escucha tambien elephant gun es buenisima!

[ReconTwowords]

Think Quick sent me here...

[Fryersmuck]

I have studied the lyrics from this song and I firmly believe that the man wanted to play cards but no-one was interested,but this man was desperate for some Poker,so he walked over two miles to where the Prostitutes were. He approached the first one and asked "how much do you charge for Poker?" to which she replied "are you asking me to wear a Strap on?" the confused man answered "are you scared your pants will fall down without the a strap on?" She then called her friend Frenchie over.

[emsway7]

@Fryersmuck Funny seeing you hear....

lol

[lDeadBirdl]

@Fryersmuck I agree....

[W4t50nW1l50n]

@Fryersmuck Your powers of deduction are far beyond my human comprehension

[FriedChickenofDeath6]

@Fryersmuck And how exactly did you come to a conclusion like that?

[sukini3]

@Fryersmuck ...WTF!!!

[Bratwurstpictures]

@Fryersmuck HAHAHAHAHA that is epic analyzing man :D

[inugal321]

@Fryersmuck that. is a cool story bro

[skaterboy99100]

like this if u got into beirut from joey brezinski

[Rawrz0rz1]

@KazakageoftheSand That's what it's about man. Just dig the song. :D

[SecretStephen]

beautiful.

[MrAnonymous10210]

holy crap thats creepy 1:40 background devil harmony

[midnitehghway]

@MrAnonymous10210 thought I was the only one who noticed that Oo extra creepy when I blast it alone in my house

[MrAnonymous10210]

my favorite sone ever. no changing it.

[parkxi]

Can someone explain to me what realpeople and "my night with the prostitue from Marseille" are? Which one is the title? I know this is by beirut.. right?

[CHUPACHIEP]

@parkxi Realpeople is the artist (a pseudonym of Zach Condon).

[parkxi]

@CHUPACHIEP why does it say beirut then?

[CHUPACHIEP]

@parkxi Because it's a double EP: the first disc of this release is by Beirut, the second by realpeople.

[misskirbyyy]

@parkxi 'my night with a prosititute from marseille' is the title, zach sings, and real people produce the music.

i think.

[davo415]

@misskirbyyy it's a double album, the first disc is called march of the zapotec and the second disc is called realpeople holland. itunes loves to fuck it up though. If you're familiar with how packaging of double vinyl albums works it's just gonna show that first one on the front, so they incorrectly say this song is on zapotec instead of realpeople

[jonsilence]

This is simply sublime and brilliant.

[Hautamekki]

one of my favorite song. 2nd place in "most played" in my itunes^^

[armariobros]

Zach Condon it´s a great song writer,and he can composse songs in different rithms and styles. I love Beirut´s music and i also find the realpeople E.P. interesting. Minimal electronic music,with great armonies,like a light music for a dramatic voice. I

[SmokiBeba86]

like, like, like, likeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..nanana lalalaaaaaaa

[mrsbrightside1790]

i have to admit that this song is really bad it doesn't seem like beirut but it's ok though i still love all of your songs

[herobts]

@mrsbrightside1790 thats because it isnt a beirut song. this a completely different side project not affiliated with beirut. just happens zach condon sings on both records.

[herobts]

@mrsbrightside1790. that's because its not a Beirut song. its a completely different side project not affiliated with Beirut. just so happens Zach Condon sings on both records.

[mrsbrightside1790]

@herobts ohhh it makes sense... still i don't like it sorry

[herobts]

@mrsbrightside1790 no reason to be sorry man. lol. its all personal preference.

[lushizzleone]

anyone who did not rape the fucking replay button?

[gag75]

Eargasm.

[bobosinhell]

Poseurs. I thought Beirut was one of the real bands out there. A Sunday Smile is so much better than this; it's in a different league. Shame on you, Beirut. Do you hear that weird deep voice starting at about 1:45? I mean, aside from the electronic crap, that insane voice is ridiculous. Is this a joke? This is awful.

[AyPeeElTee]

@bobosinhell jeez one song YOU dont like and you curse their whole existence....

[bobosinhell]

@AyPeeElTee I'm not entirely serious.

[AyPeeElTee]

@bobosinhell omg me neither! :D ..ppl get serious on youtube??

[pet0skey]

@bobosinhell lol

[TehGreyy]

hands down one of the best songs i have heard by them and possibly anyone else and i love the harmony on the voices

[gnarCR]

i love beirut but i like their instrumental stuff better than this new techno stuff

[ninjaclutz]

@gnarCR it is more like this old techno stuff. That is sort of why Condon split the cd between Beirut and Realpeople. Artists like to experiment this isn't exactly a new direction it is an old one he revisited...

[sneeblads]

anyone else hear the creepy demon voice harmony?

[wesnawmaster]

@sneeblads i just noticed it. it's at @1:45 creepy....

[ahnakel]

@sneeblads Pretty terrifying!!! or Awesome... can't decide yet.

[osjkane7874]

I can't stop listening to this song.

[skippinggirlvinegar]

ksjdhfk this song is just perfect

the unlikely combination of zach's voice and electronic music go together so well!

I know this song is old... or not exactly "new" anymore, but I can't get over how amazing it is

[thejoshcohenshow]

I like how indie beirut is yet this has 345,000 view. Pro'ly cuzz everyone who knows this song listens to it over and over againnn

[WhatsUpDubai]

@thejoshcohenshow Thats probably true unfortunately. I was happy for a while, thinking that beirut has alot of fans, too bad people are missing out on this :(

[hastanga69]

beautiful

[lesjeunes11]

this is a critique

[veggiexc]

don't trust a hoe, you never trust a hoe, don't trust a hoe

[michaelfingard]

@veggiexc lol

[oo7liu]

@Fryersmuck

i interpret this song as a young naiive man, maybe zach maybe not, with a prostitute during one lonely night, and this one particular prostitute caught his attention, and he falls in love with her and he's thinking of all these things he sees in her eyes while they're in bed, and he tries to get her to stay longer etc etc

i personally think this song is amazing

[Fryersmuck]

@oo7liu my friend You have a Truly beautiful Heart and Soul!!

Don't take any Notice of My Crazy ramblings!!

Your Comment illuminated the dark recesses of My Mind!!

This world Needs more Like you!!

[MrMente322]

and we are just listen the best band in the word .......................VIVA BEIRUT bella musica

[rodebusyy]

cool music to work in the morning with

[PhantomWarlock]

wow this is much cooler than the live version. i never knew they did electronic music

[MrJavibici]

musica de ensueño, amo beirut

[scarylegodudes]

Real People Holland are great too :D

Saw Beirut on the 27th, out of all of the gigs and concerts I've seen in my life, that was one of the best.

[0Year0Zero0]

@scarylegodudes I thought this song was from the Realpeople part of the EP. I think most people put this song under Beirut's name incorrectly. Not to be a hipster or anything.

[alejandroperezyperez]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeahhhhh i liiiiiked XD

[natuls16]

truly brilliant.

I love Zach Condon with all my heart.

[IanJackes]

soooo much better live

[MegaAimee28]

@IanJackes i am so freaking jealous.

[juanalvaro1]

the voice, jàime cette chanson I love this song

[MrJavibici]

beirut, musica adorada, buenisima

[SuperUkuleleGirl]

it's a bit like joy division. unsure whether i like it or not :/ perhaps it will grow on me.

[SuperUkuleleGirl]

@hightimesbruce okay well i see you removedyour comment before i got sa chance to reply but fyi (in my opinion) it is likle joy division because of his voice and the way he sings reminds me strongly of Ian Curtis. I decided after some deliberation that i prefer joy division but this is okay . hope thats gravy:)

[SuperUkuleleGirl]

@hightimesbruce sorry about the multiple spelling mistakes there due to my fast typing. I cba to rewrite it but had to point out the errors as they jar me :)

[sampiero]

@SuperUkuleleGirl "perhaps it will grow on me"

What a great and accurate image !!! Brilliant. 

[SuperUkuleleGirl]

@sampiero Merci beaucoup! C'est une expression anglaise que j'aime à utiliser :)

[condiersea]

god i want to the essence of beruit in everything i a have and do. i cant even describe how much i adore this band the music the voice the everything about it any way you look at it. omg i feel like a fucking fan girl but zachs voice is honestly something i have to listen to everyday.

[AntigoneAeterna]

@condiersea It's okay, I understand what you mean. I love the instrumental-ness haha.

[marcellavaz1991]

Perfect *-* Melhor banda que eu conheço, ♥ B E I R U T

[Fbronze]

@marcellavaz1991

é muito bom

[Comfortcakcak]

i like him, and somehow he manages to pull off a simple and yet sopisticated sound. He usually doesn't play anything complex.

[kszychu23]

just great!

[Rawrz0rz1]

to me, the prostitute is love. And that love is sort of a fantastical and magical idea, but you let yourself believe that it's real. And even when you start to realize that it won't work out after all, you still cling to it, wanting to believe in it. You want to believe so badly that you blindly believe, without requiring any form of validation what so ever. You just wanted this love to be real and to workout, so you believe.

[lazord1991]

@Rawrz0rz1 That's great. Well said.

[KazakageoftheSand]

@Rawrz0rz1 no one gives a fuck what you think this song is about... it's 100x better just listening to it for ourselves.

[michaelfingard]

@KazakageoftheSand lol

[7LBurna7]

@Rawrz0rz1 Think you kind of have it, but some thats a little over the top really. Just think he's describing the love they were making for the night was almost believable as if it was real, or actually meant something.

[MrOdinmunazul]

i ♥ beirut! n__n

[skizz0id]

What is the meaning of this song? It is very cryptic. Please, someone explain.

[elulane]

i loveit i love it i love it ! all the times make me feel i wanna live hipie life and go to hipie bus!

[noahisawesome]

Been into beirut for a while but I didn't listen to this ep up until recently. good stuff

[blahhh070]

My family thinks this song is weird (along with other Beirut songs) but I'm having trouble understanding why! I love Beirut! Their music is wonderful :)

[TheTheJPShow]

@blahhh070 My family tells me the same things, but i can't get enough of the amazing Beirut.

[Ski4lifeify]

@blahhh070 ya its not wierd at all just creative and different tell your family they are wierd for not knowing more interesting music.

[naifanegra]

Bella!

[littlemisswindsurfer]

What is he saying xD

[charliebubblesoar]

wow, that was probably the worst song i have ever heard!

[MusicianSmile]

Hey Beirut Lovers, If you search for some Rare Stuff from Zach and Beirut and other Bands that are similiar to Beirut you should check out my channel. if have upload a big collection of unreleased Songs of Zach and other amazing Songs. Enjoy ;)

[xdeersx]

@MusicianSmile no thanks

[deepspaceinvaders]

interesting title for a song

[DonaldHarriss]

mp3iifffy works again wooohoooo awesome - google mp3iifffy

[BigBadaBing]

Im like a big tough boy you, know what I mean, but with a help from Beirut, I have found my sensitive side...thank you.

[lemejias]

amo demais ...

[carrie3609]

this song is amazing

[swimgr11]

why is this video 4:42 but on itunes only 3:07? confusion.

[SurprisingEagle]

Windows Movie Maker didn't cooperate =(.

[CoctoRy]

More girls than ye can imagine LOVE BEIRUT.

I was lucky enough to have seen them live whoo.

[laoou]

I am a changed man.

[carolynxstumph]

Beirut is so fucking amazing. Like, their music is so tranquil, it can be listened to when going to sleep, but at the same time, it can be danced to! I would love to see them live someday. :)

[xImSoSickx]

In love. <3

[josehll]

se sale!

[burninupforjbbaby]

lovee.

[ravsuuuu]

Beirut is the reason I love.

That was actually a typo, I was meant to write 'live' but yes, let's go with that too :3

[POLOpsg]

QUE CANCIÓN TAN PERO TAN BUENA!!!!

[ObLiesk]

Music Critics Fuck Off

[hightimesbruce]

@ObLiesk

Why? This song and the EP it was on were both acclaimed.

[UserRED13]

@ObLiesk Music critics eat this up. What are you talking about?

[LilMissKeeks]

sharaaaaaaapp

[krusher181]

consistent beats can really kill certain songs. it's beautiful but would probably be better acoustic, sounds more like a condon solo project of the electronica persuasion if you ask me. saying this as a person who loves daft punk you cant call me an electricity hater. Grizzly Bear haven't gone electronic yet, why does everyone feel the urge to laden their songs with static when they dont suit them? ughhhwhatever i'll just head back to my seat in the 1960's

[ForsakenAngelX]

this is great!

[batrom1]

Merci!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[aprad]

i wish all their albums were like this!

[asiancaucasian43]

goooood aasss song

[nsG0]

waves in her eyes

[TheEmokill]
