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.
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.
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...
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.
Beirut is music to which you shouldn't waste any words, it's impossible to describe, but i can't help trying. it's soothing, pure, and it tickles your heart.
this was amazing!!! i loved it so much!!!! it fit the song SOOOOOOOO WELl!!!!! and it looked really professional!!!! this should be the official vid or something :)
A more perfect blend of music/film I have yet to see posted on youtube. This film will haunt me in my dreams. YOU ROCK ANNIESAYS! Thank you for this gift. (are you a professional or just a VERY gifted amateur?)
This is absolutely breathtaking! You really captured all of my feelings for this song! Now when i walk down the street and I listen to this I think about this video. Nice job.
This sounds so much like Amelie soundtrack!
