I will never get over how much I adore this song

I wish it was of better quality
But good song overall

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.

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

Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know

It’s a little bit lonely, out here on the road
I find myself on the edge of, getting tired and old
Just need to focus on a home life, how I feel and then
Get on that bus to the next show, one more down two to go

I’m sick and tired of these hotels, and all the pretty little maids
Can’t get no sleep I’m exhausted, I have to hide behind shades
I get excited when I’m on stage, it’s crazy like a zoo
Back on that bus to the next show, one more to get back to you

We’ll be coming back for more
Kicking down your door
Man, this band is tight
We’ll be ready for tonight
We’ll get so loud you’ll be frightened
And we’ll be Hotter Than Lightening
We’ll be Hotter Than Lightening
							         	 
Sometimes were treated like rock stars, in the back of a car
Were always slipping through back doors, looking for bars
Where we can sit back and pretend, that were not who we are
Back on that bus to the next show, it really can’t be that far

We’ll be coming back for more
Kicking down your door
Man, this band is tight
We’ll be ready for tonight
We’ll get so loud you’ll be frightened
And we’ll be Hotter Than Lightening
Yeah we’ll Hotter Than Lightening

We’ll be coming back for more
Kicking down your door
Man, this band is tight
We’ll be ready for tonight
We’ll get so wild you’ll be frightened
And we’ll be Hotter Than Lightening
Yeah we’ll Hotter Than Lightening
We'll be Hotter Than Lightening
We'll be Hotter Than Lightening

Hotter Than Lightning

Bob Dylan - It Ain't Me, Babe

This has always been one of my favourite tracks. Written by David Bowie but the big version was from Mott The Hoople. Inspired me a lot when I was young dude...

The Soundcloud version is an older mix of my official release.

All The Young Dudes - Phil Pendlebury
