Kept outside these city walls The tiger sang to me From the wreckage of eternity To his Caspian Sea To fight is holy But to starve is free I am misery For one moment in this hellish ring I lock your eyes and see You're also dying You're also safe You're also dying You're also safe You're awful shiny And I'm awful vague You're so together And I'm known to beg For one moment won't you lie with me I'm in the rain For one moment it's the last I swear I feel your pain You're also dying You're also safe You're also dying You're also safe
This might be the most beautiful song ever created. Existential dread, mixed with a love song ballad. I’m hooked. These guys have found a new fan. Seems like I’m late to the party but I don’t care. I’m in bliss. Cheers.
His last album, Hadsel, was a masterpiece; just Zach, his voice and a lot of different organs. Recorded in a Norwegian church far away from the outside world, after a difficult period; the album is breathtakingly beautiful and one I’d definitely recommend.
Zach always knew how to turn music into magic, and create magic that has eternal nostalgia in it. The acrobats in the clip look like they have been enchanted by Beirut and they move according to the pensive vibrations of his voice. Thank you for this piece.
@@blue_scape Fair point! I guess I was just worried when Zach had to cancel his tours due to health reasons and it felt like an eternity until Hadsel came out. I am just happy he is back to producing and can't wait for more. Still listening to Beirut all the time, especially Hadsel lately.
Thank you Zach, missed you. The last concert you cancelled it would’ve been the third time I’d see you live. Glad you’re back and your voice sounds so perfect 😍
😳❤🙏✨ Two tigers are in a process of reintroduction in Kazakhstan. They arrived recently, gifted from the Netherlands. Good luck 🙏🍀✨❤️ Thanks Beirut, love you 🤗✨❤️💕
I'm part Circassian and the Caspian Tiger used to have the Caucasus as part of it's range throughout Central and West Asia, and I mourn their loss so much, as Tigers in general are the animal I connect with the most. I was very surprised seeing the title of this song, and I feel like it captures much of the feeling of loss I feel now that they are gone and extinct because of Russian colonization of our homelands throughout the region. Same with the Caucasus Leopard. I'm kinda speechless about this, and I would love to know what the bands inspiration was behind the song and title
"Ironic then, that I found Kompani Giraff’s project so enticing, and writing something for acrobats to perform so enjoyable. “Caspian Tiger” was one of the first songs I wrote for the new album, with images in mind of the poor animals caged or fighting in Roman colosseums. They had been taken from the Asian steppes around the Caspian Sea and from as far east as Tashkent, an area I’ve been fascinated by for years. The sonic influence came in large part from choir music that I was obsessing over at the time." according to NME magazine
@@linaBandolinaPodcast Thank you for sharing this, it's really powerful knowing this is the image they had in mind, and it was something I realized once too that Caspian Tigers would have been used by the Romans. Really happy to know this, thank you again
Eu não sentia essa sensação estranha e arrepiante desde quando ouvi "The Rip Tide" pela primeira vez, Zach finalmente se reencontrou nessa música! Sua voz soa como um onda batendo com força em um quebra-mar prestes a desmoronar... Estou ficando bem animado por esse novo álbum! ❤

Beirut é transcendental...
I miss so much this band, thanks!
Me too ❤
Me too❤
But they had a great album last year and a recent collaboration with Efterklang, Zach has been fully back for quite some time now
@@svetoslavtodorov6058 yeah right!
Kept outside these city walls
The tiger sang to me
From the wreckage of eternity
To his Caspian Sea
To fight is holy
But to starve is free
I am misery
For one moment in this hellish ring
I lock your eyes and see
You're also dying
You're also safe
You're also dying
You're also safe
You're awful shiny
And I'm awful vague
You're so together
And I'm known to beg
For one moment won't you lie with me
I'm in the rain
For one moment it's the last I swear
I feel your pain
You're also dying
You're also safe
You're also dying
You're also safe
Thank you
is it "I lock your eyes and see" or "Unlock your eyes and see"?
Never disappoints
Can’t stop listening to this.
Thank you Zach, for all these years.
Te amo, Beirut ❤

Τι δώρο είναι αυτό σημερα!!
Κι αυτός ο ήχος σας,

Κρήτη, Ελλάδα και εδώ, τους αγαπώ βαθιά χρόνια τώρα, μου θυμίζουν καλές και κακές στιγμές και κάθε φορά ανατριχιαζω διαφορετικά! ❤ Καλή απόλαυση!
Beirut as always touching our hearts, uplifting our soul and inspiring us through its masterpiece in the form of music.
Elephant gun remains a pure classic song of joy!
Brazil loves it! 💗💗

Lyrics :
Kept outside these city walls
The tiger sang to me
From the wreckage of eternity
To his Caspian Sea
To fight is holy
But to starve is free
I am misery
For one moment in this hellish ring
I lock your eyes and see
You're also dying
You're also safe
You're also dying
You're also safe
You're awful shiny
And I'm awful vague
You're so together
And I'm known to beg
For one moment won't you lie with me
I'm in the rain
For one moment it's the last I swear
I feel your pain
You're also dying
You're also safe
You're also dying
You're also safe
Somptueux !!
Thank you so much for appearing again for us over here!
Beauté, toujours. ♥merci
Beirut, It was hard without You ❤
So beautiful!
