A girl in my photojournalism class saw I was listening to Beirut and asked what they were " A band" I replied, and she asked what they sounded like. I really couldn't describe it, and that's what I said. They're magic, that's what they are.
IM SO HAPPY I WENT TO HIS CONCERT 2 DAYS AGO!!ZACH is the BEST i love him live he's so sweet he did 4 encores!you cant say he doesn't love his fans after he did that he looked so tired afterwards!LOVE HIM!!LOVE BEIRUT!XD
I absolutely love rewatching this over and over again! It's just so amazing and I absolutely love Nantes :D ONe of my favorite songs from Beirut :D I wish I could've been there
thats what makes Beirut so beautiful. the music kinda opens up a window to how wonderful life is, and all you want to do is share that feeling with another. so if you feel lonely just realize that that loneliness is a catalyst to other wandering souls. feeling alone can actually make you feel more connected to everyone around you because we are all alone to some extent. it's a beautiful thing.
It hurts to see so many people listening to him without the appreciation he deserves. This man has such a brilliant, inspiring life story and he's moved me so much. Zach Condon is a beautiful musician and he's given so much good to my life and my music taste. His music is nothing like I've ever heard and it takes me to another place. I don't like other people listening to him because it's so special to me and I'm sure that nobody will understand and appreciate his talent like I and many others do. The ones who do understand have a gift :) Zach is amazing and his music may not be like all the pop music on the radio but it is pure talent. Zachary Condon has had a huge influence on me this past year and I'm looking forward to one day meeting him :) you should try and read about him now that you've witnessed his talent. He has such a great backstory.
Merrill Lash can you explain what you think is so special about his life story. Like I'm not trying to demean him in anyway. I honestly just spent like 30 minutes trying to read up on it, but all I could find was very vague descriptions of him dealing with "mental illness" and briefly going through "hospitalization" but it doesn't get any more in depth then that. Hope you don't take this the wrong way.
Zach is amazing but the sentence " I don't like other people listening to him because it's so special to me and I'm sure that "nobody" will understand and appreciate his talent like I and "many" others do. I understand what you want to say but It's not secret Zach is a treasure of this Earth. (Will Sheff is an equal treasure tucked away back there.)
I'm a student currently living in Nantes, France. I heard this song live during a gig Beirut played in Paris 4 days ago (@l'Olympia). I can now say that my life is complete. There are no words for this... My perception of music in general has changed the day I first heard this song/saw this video on youtube 3 years ago.
Beirut's music sets my soul to rest and lets me know that while the world can be a shitty place there are bits that shine brightly though the muck. Thanks guys, love all your stuff so much. this is one of my favourite tunes as it just happened kind of and everybody loved it. God bless you :)
The most rarest breathe taking voice in the world mixed with musical geniuses. They are all the most inspiring band my ears ever connect with. Just pure amazing!
I remember watching this video back in 2008 when it was a baby, now it's all grown up with 6 million views.. I fell in love, and every time I heard this song, my heart broke. It still does. Nantes is my favorite song from Beirut.
Im left without words , truly speechless reminds me of many a great luminary but i will leave them all out for ive only just found my way into hearing 'beirut' for the first time ... talk about passion , talent and integrity ... such 'gusto' ... i hope i get to see them live someday ...
no matter how much depth and density, interlocking harmonies and braided threads of rhythm, melodic counterparts and rich bass lines, the core of music should shine and radiate beyond any component of song. The core is derived from the interior. It comes to be intuitively, it grows through passion and maturity, and blooms when the deepest parts of ourselves mold with our potential. The richness and depth of zach condon’s comes not from the greatest of minds, but from the greatest of hearts.
I love this song to death, though it has always confused me why he rhymes voices with Nantes, when they don't quite rhyme. Somehow it makes me love it even more. I can listen to this song 20 times in a row and never get tired. Partly because the french clip from the album version tests my limited knowledge of french.
Still love this, I always will. This video was the first time I heard this song. It is such a pure representation, it's almost hard to listen to the studio version of it.
O que impressiona em bandas como Beirut é sua simplicidade, estilo próprio e acima de tudo talento, bem diferente dessa nova geração de "musicos" brasileiros. Pena que sejam poucos conhecidos e admirados no Brasil
Oκ really now, do u think there is or there was a better voice ever? I listen his albums when i go to bed, in school, when eating, when doing my HW! I am just addicted to this song and generally to Zach Condon! Thumbs up if u agree!
Got to hang out with Beirut backstage after their show at Bogart's last night. These guys are so incredibly humble... like I don't even think THEY realize how talented they are! But seriously... they put on an amazing show, and they're all so very nice. =)
I can't stop listening to this song. In honored to know the bass player. I knew he would go far with his musical career. Can't wait until they are back in oregon. Pendleton always represents
I'd like to see a dubstep "band" try to do a street performance like this. This ladies & gentlemen is a real band, real instruments and real talent... love it.

this dude makes me melt, he's amazing
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Beirut. No words to describe how good you are. Real music. Me and my ears say thank you.
Ahhh Beirut, essas musicas tem o poder de elevar a minha mente...
Well it's been a long time, long time now
since I've seen you smile
and I'll gamble away my fright
and I'll gamble away my time...
Nunca me canso de ver esto. Hermosa canción y hermosa forma de mostrarla :)

Love it since I've heard it for the first time. A few years ago I could't stop listening to it, the wole album was great. Come to Poland
Okay this song was already so beautiful and then seeing how attractive he is just increased the beauty by at least 30%
Haha, yeah. :D

Zach was such a bonbon!
How I wish I had been there!
Really impressed to know that it's an american band. Being French myself, I first thought it was a french band. Well done Beirut.
The most rarest breathe taking voice in the world mixed with musical geniuses. They are all the most inspiring band my ears ever connect with. Just pure amazing!
Minha música preferida deles 😍 haaa como eu queria sair um dia e ver isso na rua kkk #Sonho Amo
Isabela Cristina Maurício como quero! sz
Isabela Cristina Maurício TB queria
is this gentlemen a traveling musician? I would love to see them on the streets of my town.

i saw them live yesterday, and that reminded me of how fucked up my life is today in contrast to a few years ago.
hang in there fellow Münchner :)
i'm from Berlin :D
even better.
Ain't that fucked up if you got to see them live! All jokes aside best of luck mate!
I know that feeling. But the journey is still beautiful even when it's excruciating. Hang tight. ^_^
lindo a naturalidade que tudo se encaixa....

Fantastic!
Zach tem A VOZ!! Sou fã de Beirut, e um dia ainda irei à um show deles, ou devo dizer concerto? kk
Well it's been a long time, long time now since I've seen myself smile
but right now im smiling...
Thank you for this beautiful song !!!
These guys are great. Perfect video. No audio manipulation just singing in the strets.
this video was just mentioned in the book "The Mission" im reading. i just stumbled across the video though
I love this song to death, though it has always confused me why he rhymes voices with Nantes, when they don't quite rhyme. Somehow it makes me love it even more.
I can listen to this song 20 times in a row and never get tired. Partly because the french clip from the album version tests my limited knowledge of french.
the beginning is priceless and so so very beautiful
As I'm listening to this song the feeling that music can change the world is slowly growig again ... Beautiful, beautiful Beirut.
Dinlemeye doyamıyorum.
😍 brasil
It’s April 2022 and i found this gold. In love with this song, ever since my bf send me a video of him singing to this song
the way they can make music in the midle of street seems so perfect it's just unbeliveble !!
And the drummer..so good..so good
"Baby, it's been a long time!"
ou, no original:
"Baby, há quanto tempo!"
What song is at 4:40? It's the best thing I've ever heard
Fo Real!! What song is THAT, dammitt
i love beiruts songs, he's amazing.

J'adore vraiment ce groupe! :) Même en live ils gèrent !!
It is so easy to fall in love with this song. Love it!
musica perfectamente combinada con esa voz ...viajo ...m transporta cada vez q la escucho ❤
That was pure awesomeness just great
Loved it
Sooooo freakin good!!! Saw them in Toronto about two years ago. One of the best shows I've ever been to.
this is song is remarkably brilliant... I absolutely love it!! And to think i found it totally by accident!!!
Listened to them when I was 14-15 when I just moved to another country and this song always helped me feel better(:
i must admit. This song has captured my soul. And i have fallen inlove with the song, and this band.
I've heard a bit of Beirut, but this video really made me appreciate their music so much more as a street performer. It's old, but really awesome.
なんて素朴な音楽だろう。ヨーロッパの古い酒場で流れているような音は、ノスタルジックを感じさせる。こんな音楽がこんな若い人間が表現できるなんて素晴らしい感性だ。ブラスをメインにしているのも最高。
Straight to the top of my favourites, easily the best find of the year so far. Goddamn thats a great song and the video makes it even better.
Just marvelous . Thanx.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! My favorite song + Artist EVERRR
I just freaking love it! Makes me cry... everytime.
eargasm..´this person's voice is intruding my ears and caressing them with its sweet, powerful steps!
I just watch this video over and over again and I hope that I will be part of this one day, seeing them perform like this would just complete my life
it´s just amazing, beatiful , great song and band
What an absolute gorgeous song!!!!
his voice is something out of this world
So adorable *w*
He is such an amazing musician!
INLOVE with his voice... Oh and dont forget him, yes him too.
Well, it‘s been a long time since I‘ve seen this freaking awesome video :)...
Absolutely gorgeous!!!!
Still love this, I always will. This video was the first time I heard this song. It is such a pure representation, it's almost hard to listen to the studio version of it.
really love his voice, it's awesome!
remembered when this video was in the 10,000s glad to see good music recieved well
such a beautiful song...
His VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
you always make my day, and i am blooming :)
Never have I heard anyone with a voice this naturally flawless
I saw this company in Slovakia on Pohoda fest and they were awesome. so calm and cool music. i loved it.
imagine being a tourist there and suddenly all this happens while u drink ur coffee....absolutely amazing!!!
omg.. i can't stop listening to this.
O que impressiona em bandas como Beirut é sua simplicidade, estilo próprio e acima de tudo talento, bem diferente dessa nova geração de "musicos" brasileiros. Pena que sejam poucos conhecidos e admirados no Brasil
I keep falling in love with this song...
I'm so proud to live in Nantes ;)
Thanks Beirut for this song.
Esta canción me hace sentir tan bien, es con un abrazo de notas musicales.
No siempre se llora por tristeza, que feliz me siento !
Oκ really now, do u think there is or there was a better voice ever?
I listen his albums when i go to bed, in school, when eating, when doing my HW!
I am just addicted to this song and generally to Zach Condon!
Thumbs up if u agree!

100% pure song :) perfect to start / finish a day :) thanks Nantes! France I miss you sometimes ;)
I can't stop listening to this song. In honored to know the bass player. I knew he would go far with his musical career. Can't wait until they are back in oregon. Pendleton always represents

Eu amo esse cara *----* Zach

I'd like to see a dubstep "band" try to do a street performance like this. This ladies & gentlemen is a real band, real instruments and real talent... love it.
