Port of Call - Beirut

Beirut - Port of Call

What a way to end the album…making one want for more.

“Was it infantile, that which we desired?”

dayleigh:

“And you, you had hope for me now.
I danced all around it somehow.
Be fair to me, I may drift awhile.”

           Guys, I have a confession. When my itunes was on shuffle, late Monday night, this song came on and it hit me in the chest like a ton of bricks. Monday night I said aloud “this is my song of the week.” Beirut-Port of Call.

        Off of their latest album Rip Tide, “Port of Call” is a sad, swinging song. It feels nostalgic for more than just a person or a relationship, it feels nostalgic even down to the core of its melancholic strums. But what’s most striking about “Port of call” and perhaps what makes it most able to catch someone (read: me) off-guard, is just how danceable it is. It’s the smell of the ocean, nighttime, of lost loves and pictures of postcards. It’s infinitely listenable while at the same time infinitely emotionally destructive.

      It’s been a week of weird earthquakes and maybe hurricanes. And though I’m in landlocked upstate new york, though summer is nearly over, I still am going to put this song on and pretend I am listening somewhere far away, the ocean breeze blowing, the salt air on my skin.

thanks for reading, enjoy your listen.

tiny world, tiny dreams

Turkish + Hebrew + Hindi + English… folk music doesn’t really mean anything afterall. No matter the language, you’re going to sway to these psychedelic folk, indie rock, folk rock, afropop, etc tracks. (i can no more keep tracks of genres these days)

St Apollonia - Beirut

Beirut - St Apollonia

All these saints that I move without
I lose without a name
All these saints, they move without
They moved without again
Well, all these places will lose without
They lose without a name

Enough fooling around. I’m seeing Beirut+Moriarty+Villagers next month in Lyon. That’s a deal.

Update: Shit, it’s full already :’(

East Harlem - Beirut

Beirut - East Harlem

Glad to have a studio version of this song. Zach actually wrote it when he was like 17 years old…

twentyfourbit:

Beirut - East Harlem (Studio Version)

Zach Condon unveiled this new tune live a few years back, but tonight the ukulele, piano and trumpet-backed studio take arrives as the A-side to Beirut’s new limited 7” single. You can hear a preview of the B-side, “Goshen,” and purchase both songs here. Meanwhile, courtesy of the label’s distributor, enjoy “East Harlem,” their first new studio material since 2009 EP March of the Zapotec, streaming above.

O Leozinho - Beirut

Beirut - O Leozinho

thomashanley: O Leozinho - Beirut (via quarterwhipped)

Zach Condon’s Beirut returns with a track sung completely in Portuguese for the forthcoming charity album, “Red Hot + Rio: 2” which pays tribute to the Brazilian Tropicalia sounds from the 60’s and 70’s. Proceeds go to international AIDS support, research, and awareness. The album will also feature Dirty Projectors, of Montreal, St. Vincent, Neon Indian, Beck, Beirut, , Devendra Banhart, Madlib, José González, and John Legend. The Red Hot organization is also the group responsible for 2009’s “Dark Was The Night” compilation that was curated by the Dessner Brothers (The National).

It’s really a lovely track that’s not far removed from the sounds you’re used to hearing from Beirut (despite the language shift). Definitely worth a few listens.

I can’t understand a word he’s saying but this is lovely. :)

Postcards From italy - Beirut

Beirut - Postcards From italy

Thank you, zenofblogging. Gulag Orkestar is a good post-holidays record.

Postcards From Italy - Beirut

Memories are like postcards, they are snapshots of wonderful experiences of the past. A single picture that captures a moment that profoundly defined that time in your life. Recollections that are forever frozen in time like masterful paintings that are ingrained into our minds. We remember what we want to remember. Our memories are not a mere recording of events, but instead it’s an interpretation of them. An in-depth personal narrative that accompanies every single memory we have. Each holds a story filled with powerful emotions that stick with you for all eternity.

This beautiful song by Beirut is precisely about those memories that constantly pass through our minds and our desire to relive again. Those images of pure serenity from the past that forever lives on. The smiles, the hugs, the kisses, the laughs, the cries, and everything that comes back to life every time we remember. Our memories are truly beautiful things, a masterpiece of literature and art that is a lifetime in the making.

“We put our feet just where they had to go.”
