  • This sounds so much like Amelie soundtrack!

    

  • <3

  • Amélie anyone?

  • I've been strangely obsessed with this song since I first heard it...can't get enough of it. Haunting and beautiful at the same time. I love it.

  • did Zach Condon see that???

    that's great! 5*

  • WONDERFULL...like a dream!!!!a sad and happy dream in the same time...kiss from France...

  • Nearly 5 years, and only that tiny number of views?

  • is this in 3/4?

  • @heymanheyman13 You can count it in four or three. They have some polyrhythms going on throughout that make it possible.

  • if god said "choose a song for loop, for the rest of your life", this could make it. AMAZINGsong

  • They're one of the few legit bands these days.

  • Bela musica

  • yes. YES!

    

  • what a wonderful video

  • i love beirut

  • Completely amazing!!!

  • If you happen to be one of those who think we don't have good music anymore, this is your chance to repent.

  • this is one of the most incredibly beautiful songs I've ever heard!

  • Mount WroclaW :>

  • is this the official video. of is it fan made?

  • One feather from Yann Tiersen's wings...

  • This is so beautiful. So perfect. :')

  • whats the song over the credits?

  • @lowdexx

    Elephant Gun - Beirut

  • @dygprcn oh yeah i recognise it now thanks

  • @lowdexx elephant gun

  • Apisteuto Tragoudi ... Amaazing <3

  • this isnt the version on the album ..?

  • excellent music

  • Comment removed

  • I discovered this album by accident, and it was like hitting the musical lottery. I totally thought Zach was either British, or from somewhere in Eastern Europe. It's a rare american who truly appreciates that unique style, and even more rare that he's been successful at it. Anyone know when they'll be touring again??

  • As good as they are, I don't feel like calling Beirut a band.. They are far greater, a unique group, which, as CafeGaby2226 says, are hard to find these days.

    Simply another level in music.

  • ta spaei!

  • im dying for zach to start touring again

  • So sad...so beautiful....

  • Cliche video I think for a kick ass song

  • This Song Relaxing Me.

  • I wish I could favorite this 100 times. Gave me chills

  • It's a wonderful song, but credit where it's due, it's a fantastic video you've made :-)

  • There aren't many musicians like Beirut. He is brilliant and he is young. I just hope that he continues to put out stellar music in the future.

  • Probably the best fan-made music video I have ever seen. I'm thoroughly impressed.

  • wow! bravo to you guys, great video--I especially like the added effort of animation

  • lindo!!!! perfeito!!!! apaixonante!!! viciante....

  • whats the ending song?

  • elephant gun

  • this reminds me of my time in paris,

    i'm so in love with this song and this city,

    whenever i hear this song i really really start to miss PARIS <3

  • @mymindplease paris sucks, one can see more beauty spending 10 minutes in Varanasi, India than a lifetime in paris

  • This was AMAZING!! I loved it so much, truly. Favorited!

  • yo serioiusly dude, this is really nice and well done. i enjoyed this video alot mad happy u uploaded it. like it fits this song MAD WELL DUDE HAHAHHAH good stuff keep it real i like 5 stars

  • Y'all did an excellent job making a video to this song. To say this track evokes deep emotions in me would be an understatement. The fact that you used film touches me all the more. I'm sure there are people still using 35mm, but I always felt my departure from it, barely a year ago, was testament to how I believed in it.

  • Beirut é muito massa mesmo!!!espero que eles voltem ao Brasil.

  • ahh I LOVE Beirut, such a great song.

  • this night i dreamt of driving a car with two steering wheels and i sang exactly this song

  • @raiBK Sounds like it was a mix of watching 'Coneheads' and listening to this song too much xD.

  • @raiBK That is a motorcycle :)))

  • what does he say?

    and i know when time will pass by slow?

    and i know winter will pass by slow?

    can anyone help me?

  • i think he says 'winter will pass by slow

  • He sings: "And I know when time will pass by slow You're in the halls the bell gives way to a larger swell Without my heart what can I do oh~ wroclai~" "And we grow fat On the charms of our idle dreary days See the shadows grow See an ominous display oh~ wroclai~" I don't know if I can ever listen to this song again...
  • stunning vid mate.

    good work

  • I never want to listen to another band again, Beirut is so amazing.

  • genial genial genial

  • Beirut is so fantastic.

    Come to British Columbia so we can make love, Monsieur Zachary!

  • Why everytime there is an accordion in a song, someone says something about Yann Tierssen? Come on!! , they are using the same instrument, but they're doing diferent music.

  • does anyone know the name of the song that starts going at the very end during the credits?

  • it's another song by Beirut called Elephant Gun

  • la mas maravillosa banda q alguna vez escuche

  • LOVE this song and this video is good as well

  • Lindaaa...ameiii

  • only estrager

    It soothes my soul

  • Brilliant!!!

  • beautiful song.

  • very good video and such a soul touching song

  • Beirut's music reminds me of Neutral Milk Hotel and Palace/Bonnie Prince Billy. What do you think ?

  • i've listened to it for days now & just realized it's in English. *palmforehead* Beautiful song. Awesome video!!

  • This is a really well done video

  • My first Beirut song. I heard it about 1.5 year ago. Since then I feel that my soul is different. I feel better.

  • pocieszne...

  • to po co sie tu przyplatales? Wracaj sluchac "bam, bam" i "na na na":>

  • Reminds me of the "Strange Days" album cover from the Doors.

  • the best things in life become obvious in black and white

  • I just wanna yell out

    "MOOOOUUUUUNNTT WROOOOCCLLAAAIIIIIII" at the top of a mountain someday.

  • great vid, but i think the song leaps a verse, right on the beginning.

  • I love this song so much.

  • Every Beirut song requires a march.

  • i agree!.. i wish they'd march in my town i'd walk right behind them!

  • great song but the opening trumpet hurts my ears, its like a weird frequency or somthing
