Beirut - Nantes | A Take Away Show 

What a memory! Because of this video I found out about Beirut and I am still listening to their amazing music; 15 years...now and forever!

It's 2024 and I'm still here listening to the masterpiece, I Love you Beirute ❤

For the curious among you: This was filmed in Paris, on the corner of Rue Saint-Maur and Rue Oberkampf, in front of the Cafe Place Verte. It's a nice area to get drinks if you ever visit.

it's 2020 and I'm still here listening to this masterpiece ⚡️ edit: I just realized that the video was posted on the day of my birthdayyyy like whaaaaat? In 2007 I was 11

I remember when I first saw this. I fell in love.

Know how some songs can take you back to an exact moment in time and place where you were feeling a certain way about a certain person and you feel all those feelings all over again? This song is so amazing.

Who's in 2024 ? ❤❤

I've returned to this video regularly for 16 years. A Thank You is long overdue for this.

Beirut is an extremely underrated band. One of the best live performances ever

My french roomate Iris used to walk with me and sing this along the road of Buenos Aires, But now more than 11years now…I woundn’t never believe how it could make this deep memories in my soul…thanks all of you envolved - Laura from brazil

This song is the theme to one of the greatest nights of my life

2007.... the year i started college... the golden age of indie folk. that was a very fun time. the times and the music are fun now too. but interesting to think about how these albums, and the blogoteque videos, felt like part of the center of the scene at the time. EDIT: just saw and remembered Will Sheff back there, alongside Travis Nelsen, rest in peace. how the times change.

13 years later and my heart still explodes just as much as ever

I love this recording. I love the reality in it. The voice cracks, the street side crowd, the infinity.

I come back here every now and then to listen to this song and I never get tired of it.

Here after the Beirut Explosion. Beirut has for a while now been my favorite band. The whole thing made me think of you guys. Rest in peace to those brave firefighters fighting the initial fires and all the people caught in the gigantic blast.

my husbands older brother loved this song, and in return my husband absolutely admires this song. and while my husbands brother has passed away in 2018. he still comes back and listens to this song here and there. The joy he experiences is unmatched.

I love how powerful his voice is... it just resonates the streets

12 years later, this is still one of my most favorite videos on RU-vid. All of their videos were so neat, warm, & refreshing.

11 years ago I met this song in Mexico City where I am originally from, I loved it, a year later I started to study French. In 2018 I met a French guy from Nantes travelling in Bolivia, I looked for the first time where Nantes was in the map. It's the end of 2023, today the French guy and I have lived in Mexico and also in Nantes together. Life is a mystery. Hace 11 años conocí esta canción en la Ciudad de México de donde soy originaria, me encantó, un año después empecé a estudiar francés. En 2018 conocí a un chico francés de Nantes viajando por Bolivia. Es fin 2023, hoy el chico francés y yo hemos vivido en México y también en Nantes. La vida es un misterio.

memories, people, moments, sadness, happiness, regrets, dreams,... so many things going through my head while listening this song... getting older....

I would go back in time just to watch this

I am in love with his voice and this whole band in general

Almost 10 years since this happened. How old am I...

You simply cannot draw borders on a musical map of the world. There is so much potential out there, which none of us even knew existed.

I can't believe already six years have passed since this performance happened.. I feel so old.

This is one of the oldest song on my RU-vid playlist and I am back after a long time here. Hey beautiful hearted people wish you a delightful time

I've been having a rough week and this performance just brings me some peace. Thank you for this.

Toujours aussi beau, aussi vivant, l'émotion est intacte ! Merci pour le partage, c'est du patrimoine.

*_well it's been a long time, long time now, since I've seen you smile_*

I always have to cry if i listen to his magical voice

Still listening to it in 2018! Awesome

Nobody: Zach: ba ram bam bam ba ram bam bam

12 years ago i fell in love with this song and this performance. i still love both.

2007 was a great year. 2007 foi um grande ano.

Eleven years and still obsessed with this song

9 anos se passaram e esse vídeo continua sendo um dos melhores, cada passo do zach é único e autentico

le chanteur, sa voix, son rire, la chanson, le clip, l'energie….. j'aiiiiiiiiiiime!

Ok I love him.

I love this song, so melancholic

Can't believe it's been 12 years. I wrote an article about this particular performance, Zach's singing, the not-really-in-the-mood guitarist (Will from Okkervil River iirc) and the magic of Take Away Show. Not my best writings, but certainly my personal favourite.

i love how he laughs throughout the song. i can really see how happy it makes him to be making music

I love this show, his voice is perfect.

ele fala alguma coisa como "é uma canção do Brasil" e alguém começa a cantar o refrão de baby dos mutantes

Praying for Beirut!

I first saw this 6 years ago. I’m still here and will be for many more years I imagine... Modern Classic x

El equilibrio, en la física, en los colores.. Los mecanismos en el circo, de movimiento pacífico y atlantico. El disfraz de las sombras. Una flor de papel. Un mirador para ver los latidos de la ciudad. Por fin llegué desde Nantes a Londres.

I used to live on rue Oberkampf across the street from Place Vert and Nouveau Casino (building behind the artwork wall) when I was 18 and 19 (2009/2010). I had just graduated from high school and had spent the months leading up to moving to Paris as garbage man and parks & rec employee in the small city I grew up in. Talk about a change of scenery moving there... Beirut's music, this performance, that street, and those bars and restaurants were the backdrop for some of the best times in my life. So much hope and that unbelievable sense of freedom. I'm not sure I'll ever experience those feelings are purely as that time again, but I'm grateful for having ever felt them in the first place, and this performance always transports my soul back there.

eight years, and i always come back!

I'm obsessed with this. And if I told you how many times I've watched this, you wouldn't believe me. Perfect.

I’ve listened to this song for 3 years without ever deleting it off my playlist and I still adore it like back when I first heard it.

the energy is palpable!! the guy is a prophet of music...love Beirut and always will x

This is one of my favorite things ever. No words for this band.

Essa voz mexe tanto comigo, que não sei expressar o que sinto no momento em que aprecio músicas tão maravilhosas quanto essa.

My life changed so much these years being a teenager finally starting to see the world through my "somewhat adult" eyes... man what a life...

It's great to hear a young indie rock band with a singer whose voice is so genuinely wholesome

this is still one of my dearest, absolute favorite Take Away Shows

This was everything to me like 11 years ago fresh outta high school...STILL SLAPSSS

Faz 14 anos que conheço Beirut, quando sinto saudades venho aqui vê os vídeos. Um primor! ❤️

For those who wanna know, the song he sings at the end is called: "the canals of our city"

Still one of the best takeaway shows to date. This and grizzly bears shift have my heart I always return to them

It never gets old

bringing back so many memories... this channel has been so formative to me, and my taste in music, and my identity. can't believe i'm now twice the age i was when it was first uploaded.

Ver e ouvir isto é entrar noutro mundo... num mundo muito mais perfeito que este em que vivemos

I remember watching this on RU-vid around the time it came out. Shit blew me away.

I have this episode to thank for introducing me to Beirut many, many years ago. I immediately fell in love with his music after hearing this song.

Best version of this song in my opinion

11 years... e no finalzinho quando eles começam a cantar Baby do Caetano?

I used to listen to them whit my father when like 10 years ago. Such a beautiful song. ❤️ Great memories. 🙂 No seriously this band has touched me so much and I had all their songs on my first mp3 player (who has one of those today 😂). They influenced me a lot.

2021 and I am very glad that I found this song

we need u guys so much here in Poland. come on Zach..

Conhecendo Beirut em 2021: Amando!

Wow I remember I heard this when I was 12 years old and absolutely fell in love with it and obviously Spotify wasn’t around back then so I couldn’t get a hold of the track - anyway this song played in a movie scene and I shazamed it, and I just rediscovered it and fell in love with it all over again. On replay on Spotify.

this is the hottest song i have eva heard im pumpin this DAILY as if it was just released.

5 years now since the first time a came here, this band has become one of my favorite bands ever. its been a long time now as its written in this momorable song.

well, when he sings "baby, baby,," right before the end, it´s from song by Caetano Veloso a brazilian singer.

A coisa mais en(canta)dora de se ver ❤

Saw them with my cousin Ben at Bonnaroo 2011.......... Still find my way back to him. Great performance till the end of time.

quand j'entends cette voix, le temps s'arrete autour de moi, je reste petrifiée pour ressentir davantage les frissons qui parcour l'interieur de mon corps, les larmes me vient aux yeux, c'est d'une telle beauté....

Os anos se passam, mas Beirut sempre na playlist! 🎼✔✅👏

Maravilhoso !😍

i remember this from years back and always come back to enjoy.

This feels as if they were playing just for you. It’s amazing. The slightly mismatched violin, the trumpets, the trash can drums...it’s just so intimate. It feels like they approached you and went “Hey, we got this new tune going on. Wanna hear it?

lovely! I wish I was there!

i remember this since it first day on youtube , damn im getting old fast

still my favorite takeaway performance...i've probably watched it 3 to 4 times every year since

Found this group when I was listening to fleet foxes take away show. I instantly fell in love and have been my one of my favorite groups of all time.

2:58 the cutest laugh ever

Passe quanto tempo passar, eu nunca me cansarei dessa música. A Globo conseguiu eternizar Nantes na minha alma quando colocou essa música como tema de Capitu e Bentinho. Eu estou rendido por está canção. Alguém em na quarentena em 2020? Anyone quarantined in November 2020?

What a voice !!!! I LOVE IT !!!!

Keep coming back to watch/listen to this piece of art! His voice gives me all them good chills

Eu estou estasiada, assim como a primeira vez que assisti, isso faz muito tempo! ♥️🇧🇷

its like a cool breeze on my skin !Incredible, i never get tired of it !Its too much !

This is (still) everything--pure delight and warmth! Thank you world

After all this time, it still brings such unbelievable joy.

2021.. my newborn and I used to jam to this. She will be 13 in March...

2019, Twelve years since I saw this video.

no matter how many times I watch it, it's always beautiful. i wish they came back with new songs soon, I really miss their wonderful sound :(

Such a freaking good introduction to this band. I saw this video for the first time around thirteen years ago and immediately dived deeper. I had to. And here I am now, memories leading me backwards, happily, in time throughout my mental music catalogs. This makes me so happy to watch again. 💚

This is art.
