undoubtedly one of my favourite songs of the 2010s, beauty in its purest form. weird how i'm not really a big beirut fan, but this one song gets to me every time.
I'm in the middle of my day, MULTITASKING.... My 19 year old son sends me this link... (I'm 50)... Haunting.... His music taste is brilliant.... Eclectic- wow.... What a TREAT Bret Martin
These guys are amazing... How come I've never come across this amazing band before??? They are just the sort of thing me and my family would listen to!!!
bold statement considering the barebones structure of the song. Id say there is not a song that speaks powerfully. In due time all have become my favorites
The story seems to be set in WW2, in what is an otherwise dreadful experience. There is a bird calling in camp, maybe with an annoying call like a peacock, that in the midst of all the mindless killing they could just kill as well, but there is an acknowledgment or realization that killing it would leave an emptiness in camp from something that is just singing the way only it knows how. Maybe a moment of humanity from people that were in an otherwise inhuman situation, appreciating the singing as beautiful in its own way. That's how I view it at least!
@MegaraptorMD You're talking nonsense mega raptor. I never disputed the double edgedness of the swordness, though it is silly. I simply had conferred that the original vestibule was wildly overblown and melodramatic, a sentiment that stands the test of time sturdily, and without resolve to be precise.
@TheFryersmuck hmm.. ok then :3 but What About beginning Every Word with A Capital? BTW: if you really are the true Fryersmuck, i apologize for offending you and probably a couple of burnmarks..
What? For one I think that "to each his own" applies extremely with music, though I personally hate that Katy Perry music, I think that some people are probably just as moved by it as you and I are by this song, of course, we are allowed to critique it, but to say it can barely be called music may be more than just an opinion but an insult to people who enjoy it.

My absolute favorite Beirut song. I'm very melancholic and nostalgic yeah.
I like how you can subtly hear the reed organ being pumped in the background.
oh yeah!

Brilliant song. I think it's about war and violence and the mistakes of men, or at least it speaks to me in this way. Thanks for posting it.

The lyrics of this song is related to WW2?
@victorrotolo is it "motion picture soundtrack" by Radiohead?. . for me it is. . .
Does an entirely different song with the same name count as a cover?
The only one i loved/liked (whatever) off riptide.
can somebody say me the message of this song ? :) please .. it's very important ... :o
no one can say. He's the one that knows the words....
but we shoot they down...
WW2?
