Beirut is the perfect band for those craving something completely different. Fusing elements of Balkan folk, French chanson, and American indie, principle songwriter and singer Zach Condon fills out classically structured pop songs with charming ukulele, flugelhorn, and accordion. Condon's exotic takes on music are strongly influenced by the beauty and sounds of places he's traveled to, evoking memories, warmth, longing, and inevitably, joy. His first album 'Gulag Orkestar' was made single-handedly and to critical acclaim, followed by the massively successful Flying Club Cup, and most recently the double EP 'March of the Zapotec/Holland'. The band's live sets are equally as breathtaking to watch as they are to listen to, and it's the Fusion stage that has the pleasure of hosting them.

Lyrics:
If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight

Far from home, elephant gun
Let's take them down one by one
We'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around

Let the seasons begin - it rolls right on
Let the seasons begin - take the big king down

Let the seasons begin - it rolls right on
Let the seasons begin - take the big king down

And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the night

And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the silence, all that is left is all that i hide

Electric guest "Troubleman" reprise acapela

Doing covers on videos make me really self-conscious so here's a really rough recording I did of a soundtrack from Spike Jonze's "Her"! If you really really really want a video because idk you want to see my awkward face(??!!?!)... I'll do it again just for you.

Enjoy!

I'm lying on the moon
My dear, I'll be there soon
It's a quiet starry place
Time's we're swallowed up
In space we're here a million miles away

There's things I wish I knew
There's no thing I keep from you
It's a dark and shiny place
But with you my dear
I'm safe and we're a million miles away

We're lying on the moon
It's a perfect afternoon
Your shadow follows me all day
Making sure that I'm okay and
We're a million miles away
