  • Great vid, really happy someone added this song, its one of my favs, but I'm pretty sure that this song was on the CD Pompeii EP, if I'm not mistaken, the album cover for Flying Cup Club is a bit misleading. Five star

  • You are completely right. I just couldn't find the Pompeii one... And I just love this artwork.

  • i hope some day Zach get really drunk and kiss me till poetry fall from the skies.

    lol

  • I'm really surprised this song is on here, it's one of Beirut's more obscure songs, being on an EP and all; this is probably my favorite Beirut song though. I was never able to make out, or find, the lyrics but if someone knows them please inform.

  • the title is misspelled, innit? and what's the song abuot, anyways?

  • @geliomar1113 well its in a ep called Pompeii ep but it's not on iTunes but you can illegally download it for free if and it comes with another song fountains and tramways

  • I only ever heard this song title, by pressing the "tell me what song this is in a creepy robot voice" button on my ipod shuffle, and I always thought it was saying "Napoleon on the Berezina" which was the river he crossed during his great retreat of Russia, after being bombarded with gurillia warfare from peasants and irregular troops on Smolensk road during Russian winter. After crossing the river, Napoleon abandoned his army, and so began his political downfall.

    It might be, that's the thing though...I don't exactly know what I'm referring to. I think it might be an accordion though, thanks.

  • @TheCanalsofOurCity ...Are you talking about the accordion, or something else?

  • Does anyone know what the instrument from 3:01 - 3:25 is?

  • @ILikeCoocies Thanks :D

  • @Tunnelzzzzz Well actulally I believe the song refers to the HMS Bellerophon, a Royal Navy Ship, on which Napoleon was brought to England after his surrender 1815. In the hands of the enemy, always in sight of lost France but yet so far away, what thoughts must have been in his mind?

  • How did typing Forever Alone bring me this for its results.. OUUUTTSIIIDE LAAAANDDDSSS!!!

  • How can I get old of this tune? it's not on iTunes, it's clearly a great song, beautiful.
