[mimesis]

David Byrne? Is that you?

[michaelfingard]

For the full version of this song just look for (Full version)

[MelodyD17]

I very much enjoy Beirut. Luckily i found it on stumble, and am in the process of getting their entire works. I love the style, i do. But for anyone who claims that music made from a synthesizer or from a laptop, computer what have you, is not music, i strongly suggest Szamar Madar by Venetian Snares.

[cocomilkshakex]

All my friends hate them..whyy???.

Am i different?

[Bratwurstpictures]

@cocomilkshakex no you just have a good taste in music ;D

[cocomilkshakex]

@Bratwurstpictures Your my bezzie mate now ;)

they all like hannah montanna and selena gomez and all that shit

[Bratwurstpictures]

@cocomilkshakex aw man i know people like that too.. its a shame what the music world has become today.. autotune, beats from a computer, dubstep is actually ok but the rest.. just shite :/

[cocomilkshakex]

@Bratwurstpictures Dubstep,beirut,MGMT,florence and the machine,laura marling,james blake ...ar emy all tiem favourites <3

[Bratwurstpictures]

@cocomilkshakex YEEEEA :D

[sonoskay]

@cocomilkshakex Actualy most of my freinds dislike beirut too. its not what is liked right now is all

[louieloudisk2]

not unlike wolf parade..every song is great

[TheHappydead]

Just found these guys, love anything oompa oompa sounding anything that sounds like it should be in a Jean Pierre Juenet movie and Im there. Do they do lots of stuff like this or is this just ther recent album?

[sigwart]

@TheHappydead yes, front zach condon is from my state of new mexico but his influence

comes from his travels to the balkan peninsula where he became fascinated with there

style of music. He returned to new mexico to attend UNM in albuquerque to further his studies.

Beirut got its start in sante fe and albuquerque where there is a huge artist population.

[TheHappydead]

@sigwart thank you, very informative, Ive been into gypsie folk, polka, oompa, flamenco...etc for a good while now, its surprising ive only just come across beirut, theyre so fucking good

[ganjastalk]

It just..... ends??

[freechord7]

It's cut short :(

[freechord7]

It's cut short :(

[lazelefty]

sounds like the soundtrack of "amelie" in the beginning (:

[oONodokaOo]

I heard this song on a local french radio not so long ago. (I knew it before though I commented this video 1 year ago ^^ ), which made it even more magical and unexpected for me. It made me very happy and gave me hope again. Yes, radios still broadcast musical gems :)

[tombodoreiro]

Pois gústame este grupo que descubrín por pura casualidade!

[alexbigode1]

@tombodoreiro

me paso lo mismo que a ti. creo que en julio se presentan en lisboa y yo estoy escuchando musica mexicana hecha por europeos

[tombodoreiro]

@alexbigode1 Pues Lisboa no me queda muy lejos, si me coincide bien hasta puedo ir a verlos . Luego, no sé si los músicos que lo acompañan son europeos pero el cantante creo que es estadounidense ; ). Veo en tu página que tenemos gustos musicales parecidos, Camera Obscura, Antony and the Jonhsons... :::))) Cuando tenga un momento veré los otros vídeos que tienes...

[kaigrek]

Great Music! It make's me feel beter!!

[sandra82390]

qué bonita!!!!

[paulparanoid]

I've been trying to find out/decipher the lyrics in this song. Any ideas? I can't find them posted on the internet unfortunately.

[recycleyouable]

check the book Dune

[K2Jennerator]

You gotta love beirut man

[Jackal9911]

@MrKeresenli  how the fuck can you think that!? this is real music

[pirokitsune]

Is this on iTunes Yet? I MUST Have it!

Tho it sounds like it cuts off to soon at the end.

[crazyarab101]

Beirut is just one of those bands where there is NEVER a bad song. all their stuff is awesome.

[aperpetualsuffering]

I know, I just heard of them a few days ago, and I haven't heard a song I didn't adore.

[BeayNaty]

@crazyarab101  Exactly

[skateREALboards96]

speedfrk 220, I was thinking the EXACT same thing when i heard the prostitute song! i love classic Beirut! Elephant Gun all the way! That vid is also BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never EVER tire of it! =) after a long stressful day at work, i literally come home and pop in some Beirut and i am instantly tranced.

[ProdanProductions]

Love this band.

[speedfrk220]

i like this style much better. when he plays songs like my night with the prostitute i feel like its too electronic. i love electronic music but i love beirut for being so.. so... organic, if you will. the flying club cup was in my opinion, was some of his greatest work, especially all the live stuff they did when they just walked around the city playing the music

[whw524]

yeah im not too big a fan of the electronic beat stuff.

[BergamoFirenzeSGV]

I think both aspects of their style are nice. Its interesting that they kind of have both. I really enjoy this band. :)

[yanpan16]

@speedfrk220 i like the electronic stuff too. i think the "organic" (as you put it) stuff is genius! but the electronic stuff is kind of magical and trance-like, it's really beautiful. but the "organic" stuff is so strong and real.

for me anyway...

[geoklaus00]

@speedfrk220 you make an excellent point, beirut are at their best when organic, and they're soul-grabbingly organic, "we-drink-to-die" organic. if that makes any sense.

[juanchoalicante]

@speedfrk220 Zach Condon is a excepcionly good musician. He can do beautiful sounds with electronic music or with music more acoustic. I prefer the acoustic music like "Nantes" or "Carousels", but this another style is not bad. Is a very good music for a person who likes electro-music. For a person who likes the other style of Beirut is only good. I think that you. The Flying Club Cup is his best work, in my opinion.

The music is subjestive.

[MonsieurRondu]

@speedfrk220 his electronic style is pretty great and reminds me somewhat of Bjork during her Vespertine/Volta years. But I agree his style with traditional instruments feels much more fleshed out, wholly arranged and similar to an orchestration. his electro stuff is great but for his earlier work (like the flying club cup that you mentioned), there's just nothing like it

[CJman327]

This needs to be in a movie. Awesome song.

[manurostar]

a little bit of Yann Tiersen here in this song.....

[beatriz182]

this song plays in a movie, doesnt it?

[myminddrips]

why does it end so abruptly? :/

[Trvrbncc]

cuz its not the full version D:

there is a full version on youtube though

[LasagnaLasagna]

it was the full version, but i guess something happened when uploading to youtube :(

[aeonautic]

Cliquot, Brandenburg and Nantes are wonderful, but really, they (or he, more appropriately?) don't/doesn't really make bad music

[thethrillion]

somebody let me know some more cool ass beirut songs i just got up on them!!!!?

[shinyalbert]

just buy all their cd's lol

[sm1tookmyuzrnm]

elephant gun ;)

[cowabungaaaaa]

thethrillion:

Here are some songs. "The Penalty" "In the Mausoleum" "Postcards from Italy"

[muahahaha101]

Elephant Gun, Postcards from italy, Nantes, La Llorona....

[hightimesbruce]

My Night With The Prostitute From Marseille is the best thing I've heard from him, and I'm a fan.

[thethrillion]

goes hard!!!!!!!!!!!!  the video is real cool

[Moonbeamable]

I just discovered this song.. and im loving it already.. its just so um.. catchiee and tunniee and lalalaiee.. i dont know and flowieee..i like his voice 2 =]

[IfWeWereAllSenators]

are you serious? I--I'm sorry. I'm just a little startled by the nature of your comment. Please, continue felating yourself while listening to Styx.

[chopinjoelman91]

lmao!!! this is quite the witty remark...i happen to like styx and beirut though....you have to appreciate the cheezyness

[FrozenThorns]

I LOVE BEIRUT. I LOVE THIS SONG.

[Nnereide]

Ties One child away

For Rome to spare

For Romaing

[Nnereide]

And so I long for your econ

Either side Era I

Rest tonight

Oh ho Now

Autumn falls down

And I can hear the sound

Autumn falls down

Autumn goes down

And I till the ground

All I can...(?)

[Magnolia1989]

Does anybody have lyrics for this song?

[makaya18]

notable!

[williestratton]

[heyheyitsmj]

Don't watch it then. And honestly, would it kill you to spell heard correctly?

[5tillWaitin]

[HumanHearts01]

This song breaks my heart ... in a good way

[sortete54]

[kizkuzkiz]

[meekomz]

such a beautiful song. possibly my favorite (if not Venice) from the new releases..

[madeauthentic]

can't wait till there is a hard copy of lyrics on this song.

[manimok]

Reminds me of DeVotchka.

[cowassasin]

lol i dunno why you're gettin so much hate, they do both have similar influences, and both goods bands

[bangflashbam]

this EP is, like everything else zach condon does, amazing.

[younevergotmeright]

I love Beirut.

[oONodokaOo]

Aaah tell me if I'm wrong, but there's toy piano in this song ?! wow that's just awesome ... It adds something mhh ... soft and everything put together is beyond amazing ! (love the accordion too !)

[MCMcWifey]
